erald.l-I have authority for saying that tele-
aphic dispatches have been received by the gov
nment indicating the position taken by Prussia
regard to the Russian question. Prussia de-
ares that she views Russia's claims as natural,
bu there should he an amlcaole settlement or the
fair. She cannot see any reason for alarm on the
rt of the co.sgnatory Powers. Russia might

kthe treaty of Paris, but one of them has Mt pres

VIENNA, Nov. 18-[Special TO the New York
Ierald while great excitement has been created
ere on the Russian question, the feeling decidedly
not warlke. Beust feels sensitivey the very de-
cate position he occupies. Prussia is so sore
sNainst him. that while the recent proposition for
3 armistice between Prussia and France was really
ls own, he refrained from proposing 1t, and
lshed England TO take the initiative. His action
Nhe present Russian complication is crippled for
Ne same reason. He fears to take any step, lest
e excite the enmiy of Prussia, and is really anx-
kus to resign. The general belief is that the Rus
Fan movement is really only intended to work in
be interests of Prussia, in order that the outside
,6rld may have something else to watch beside the
peratons of Prussia in France 1t is believed that
ombardment of Paris While little doubt Is en-
ertained of eventual trouble through the Eastern
knestion, it is not believed that the present i'm
eIoglio will lead to war. The note reply to Gorts
hakoffs letter Is c0nciliatOry, and expresses salts
action at the peaceful declaration of Russia.

LILLE, Nov. 1s.-TSpecial to the n. Y. Herald. J.
rhe stupidity of the Provisional Government is
making itself seriously felt in this department. AT
he instance of Gambetta, Testelin, Commissarla,
Eeneral, has been given an equal command with
purbaki, in order to watch the latter, whose
elity to the republic is doubted. Every move
snt and order OF Bourbaki must be endorsed by
Testelin before it can be executed.
Testelin, is a civilian, and was member of the
Legislature in 1913. He has no military knowledge
ind this double command is working mischief
Friends of BOurbaki blame him for remaining in
20 doubtful position.
Great activity nevertheless, has been evident in
