Military Preparations for the Conflict

Vienna (March ~ Correspondence Of London Times
Although the results of the military conferences,
which have just been held here, are kept from the
knowledge OF the public it is patent tact that
preparations for war are being made in all parts Of
the empire. In order that there may be no un-
necessary out ay, the men on Through will be
allowed TO remain where they until their services
required; but they have received instructions to
be prepared 10 join their respective regiments at
days notice. 1t not likely that large army of OBJ
servaton will be posted in Bohemia, as considerable
attachments OF troops are beng paced echeLon in
the vicinity of the various railway stations. The
officers who had leave OF absence have received
orders to JON their regiments Immediately, and all
OF them seem to be eager for the approaching ray,
though they are well aware that the Frussian a.ti
lery is superior to their own. The Austrian cavalry
Is magnificent, and should an opportunity presel
itself it will hardly fail to render good service In
Hungary very many remounts have been purchfsed
for the artillery and IN various parts OF the em-
pire lists have been made OF the horses Which
are fit for Warlke purposes. Should thee be
a war between Austria and Prussia, General
Won Benedek will command the troops in
the northern part of the empire, and the
AEchdUke Albrecht wall be placed at the head of
the Austrian army in VenetIa Austria will at
war with Prussia. If Italy should make common
cause with the latter, the commander OF the lmpe-
rial troops in Veneta VIII keep within the Quadrila
teral and act strictly on the defensive 1 am IN
formed that an army of two hundred thousand men
can in case of urgent need, be collected IN Bohemia
by the end of the present month The mmi.

qnOted at SO 80. day or two ago member OF the
Diplomatic Corps asked M. Won Beke, the chief of
section IN the j nance Department, how Austria
could think Of TO war without money! The
reply to the OUT 'as, that as soon as a shot is
fired Austria will I'd 10 issue State notes (as-
signats), payable In p, OF the nominal value of
fifty or one huadred pms of forms. The Vienna
fnanciers too DEF ed TO be able to appreciate
NJ Won Beke's wit COhnt Larisch the Austrian
Minister of Finance has just received proof thai
Prussia is also making preparations for war The
Count employed several PTusslans IN some coal
mines which he has in Austrian SlesIa, and a few
uay ago the men received orders to return home
mediatey, in order that they might be enrolled in
the army. 1t is here believed that the policy of
Pl ussia in the Elbe Duches would undergo change
If Count Bismarck should quit oIicej but the Ger
man statesmen and dlplOmatlsts, who, Doubtless are
well informed the subject, not OF the same
opinion. They MAINTAIN that the Prussians, as a
nation wish iOr the annexation of Schleswig lIol-
stein and that Libera! Cabinet would prove as
unreasonable as q reachonary one.
THE NEWSPAPERS ORDERED NOT TO NOTICE MOVE
MENTs OF TROOPS.

not deceived as to the gravity OF the situation II
would be found in the confidential intimation gwen

press law, to abstain from all communications re-
specting tine movements of troops, their strength
etc. No more fur oughs granted in the army
even Tor q few days.
