Arrival of the JaVa-Summary.
New YoRK, June 27th.-The steamship
Java, from Liverpool 10th, via Queenstown
18th, arrived this evening.
The federal Diet having on the 14tb, by
a vote of 9 to 6, agreed to the Austrian pro-
posal for the mobilization of the federal
army, Prussia, agreeably to notice, carried
out her threat to consider it as an act oil hos
tIlity, and on the following day commenced
war by sending troops into Saxony and
Hanover. 1t was also remored, but not con-
firmed, that the Austrian troops in Saxony
would move to attack the Prussians.
The Emperor of Austria, in a speech to
the Vienna Common Council, said nothing
remained but the sword. After the action
by the federal DIE, the Prussian representa-
tive protested against it as unconstitutional,
and said Prussia considered the cOnfeder-
alton dissolved and withdrew from the Diet.
The Austrian representative moved, and the
Diet resolved, that the confederation was
indissoluble. Great commotion and inan-
cial depression exists throughout Germany.

ministry. La MaromOra goes to camp with

tant. The Atlantic cable IS finished.

3Oth.
The La France believes the rumors of the
intended abdication Of Macmillan un-
founded.
GREAT BR1rIAN, June I6.-The action of
the American government towards the
Fenians in the United States gives general
satisfaction. The London Times eulOgizes
the Washington government, and says it
would be impossible to exaggerate the good
faith, friendliness, sincerity, and regard for
the mutual obligations which have prompt
ed these energetic measures. The Amerl-
can government has acted in manner
which even exceeds anything that could
reasonably have been expected from the
most friendly nation. The article express
es qualification that such distinguished
officers as Generals Grant and Meade should
have been sent to the scene, and says these
energetic acts of genuine friendship will be
long and cordially remembered. The
Fenians are almost entitled to thanks for
having given the Americans an occasion
for displaying friendliness and good feel
ing.
At the closing of this dispatch there is
no news of any collision having occurred
in Germany.
A Prague telegram of the 10th says the
Prussians occupy Labana and Zeittau, and
menace Schkenditz and Azeity.

tween Prussia and Saxony is stopped.

1t was asserted at Paris that the proceed
iugs of the Federal Diet had determined
several Of the powers who signed the treaty
of Vienna of 1915 to declare that in their
opinion articles 81 and CO of that treaty,
which form part of the European interna-'
tional law, have been violated.
The Austrians had interrupted all lines
of communication on their eide of the PO
and Mincio.
LIVERPOOL, June 1.-THE Federal war
vessels Augusta, MinantOwah and Ashulet
arrived at Queenstown on the evening of
the 10th.
The entry of the Prussians into Saxony
is fully confirmed, Prussia having previous
ly declared war. The entry fthe Austrians
is hourly expected.
+ The Paris Presse publishes report that
the first engagement took place near Leip-
zic on the 10th, but the rumor is uncon-
frmed.
The Diet held an extraordinary meeting
on the 10th to decide on the motion by Sax
ony that Austria and Bavaria be requested
to adopt such measures as were made ne
cessary by the Prussian invasion.
Prussia has issued declaration to the
Great Powers, justifying the invasion on the
ground that the decision of the Diet on the
18th broke up the confederation, and that
the law of self-preservatiOn had compelled
Prussia to secure herself against neighbor-
ing States in open or concealed hostility.
She had previously offered conditional
alliance, which was rejected.
