CHOWDER TO 60 TO CUBA i - PUOVOST MARSHAL - GENERAL ACCEPTS INVITATION. EX-KAISER "GOES BROKE" IIERR HOHEXZOLLERX WRITES TO BERLIN FOR MONEY. Revolutionary Government Allows 600,000 Marks to Meet Pres ent Indebtedness. WEIMAR, Thursday, Feb. 27. (By the Associated Press.) The former German emperor, it is learned from competent sources, recently appealed to the German revolutionary government for money. It was said in his behalf that it was impossible for him to con tinue living upon the bounty and good will of the Dutch nobleman in whose castle he now resides. Herr Hohenzollern, it Is said, de clared he already had been forced to borrow 40,000 guilders from his host and could not continue as a debtor. He asked that he be allowed a portion of his private fortune. The government, after considering the matter, agreed to his request and Instituted a detailed investigation to determine what portion of the former emperor's supposed fortune really was his and what portion belonged to the government. Investigation showed that the former ruler might legally claim 73,000,000 marks as his own, but the povernment decided to allow him tem porarily only 600,000 marks to meet present indebtedness and future ex penses. The correspondent's informant, in calling attention to this development, declared it put an end to rumors that the former emperor had been able to take large sums of money with him when he fled into Holland.
