THE HAGUE, Feb. 10,
In a debate in the States-General, Baron Von Hecckeren asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs to take steps to guarantee the integrity of the Netherlands. He deelared that this was necessary because a neighboring sovereign had intimated a few years ago that he would be obliged to occupy Dutch territory unless Holland defended herself against Britain. The Foreign Minister refused to make a reply unless Baron Van Heeckeren gave the name of the sovereign.
The. newspaper “Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant” states that Baron Van Heeekoren, at a secret sitting, informed the Foreign Minister that the Kaiser wrote to Queen Wilhelmina in 1904 in regard to the matter.
