The news is important. The Vienna

telegraphed on the 10th ult that Rus

propositions of the Allied Powers
This report caused immense excite.
mcnt. 1t proved, however, to be erro-
neous. The Government despatch,
published the next day, states that Rus
sia has accepted the Allies PROPOSE
tions only as basis of negotiations
This news slightly relaxed public
confde nee, and less sauguine hopes o
peace are entertained. Many thinl
that Russia merely accepts the propose

thus gain time.
There is no other news of impor
