OF Count Beust Austria cannot afford 10 permit these
Scavc populations to be tampered with, for sho has
every hope, IL the entered upon be carried
out, OF accomplishing the stuperdous work OF firmly
uniting all the and interests under the common

to them that their loyalty is not doubted. The Pansa
visc movement in Croatia is not considered beneath
notice here, among the Ruthenians IN Gacia and
Hungary the Roumanians In Pennsylvania, and among
the BulGarians. The chief danger 10 Austria Is thought
TO lie ia the movements among the Seryians OF Turkey
