innocent bismarck!
BERLIN, July 9.-The report widely cir
culated for the past day or two that
Werther, the Prussian Ambassador at
Paris, had been recalled is not true. In
official circles here the situation is thought
free from danger. Bismarck had neither as
sisted or advised Spain in the Hohenzollern
matter, and Napoleon's attempt to hold
him to any responsibility is therefore re-
garded as mere pretext.
Franz Joseph.
VIENNA, July 9.-The Presse, semi Off
cial organ, has an editorial imploring
Spain to reflect before precipitating into
war.

The Situation from an English
Standpoint - Effect on Bread
Estuffs.
LONDON. July 9.-Both here and al
Liverpool breadstuffs and cotton are IN
certain in tone, and the prices made are II
regular. This is altogether due to the
possibility of Continental war. The same
influence is operating at Manchester, in the
market for cotton goods and yarns.
The general excitement does not seem to
have abated. While the better opinion
seems to be that war will be avoided, the
dispatches received from some quarters
are calculated to excite the gravest appre
hension.
