NEW YoRK, Aug. 30.-The Worlds
London special telegraphs repetition of
the warning already several times given,
of the imminent peril of Russian interven7
ton in the war.
St. Petersburg papers of the 23d form
ally deny that the Car has in any way
recognized the Prussian regiment OF which
he is nominal commander, and adds that
Russia reserves to herself the most abso-
lutte freedom to act as her position re-
quires in the interest of European equi-
ibrium, and of her own destiny.
The commander of the third military
circumscription has formally interdicted
the distribution of German newspapers
through the mails.
The Schayico and Czach journals, in
Austria, openly denounce the progress OF
the Teutonic race in central Europe, and
call upon Russia to make the Austrian
government understand its mission.
The Attitude of Belgium.
The approach of the hostile armies to
the Belgian frontier eXcites great appre-
hension in that country. The Belgian ar
my has been put on war footing. By
the vote of August 12 it is ordered to the
front. The arming of the Garde Civile
goes on rapidly.
Two special Queens messengers reached
London to-day with dispatches for the
Foreign Office from Brussels, Termonde
and Antwerp are fully armed.
Prussian Cavalry and Artillery AP-
PrOachtng Epernay.
1t is reported that column of 10000
Prussian cavalry and artillery were yes
terday marching on Epernay.
An American newspaper correspon-
dent at St. Avoid had an interview with
Bismarck and was most cordially treated.
The King was very kind also and sent
word to the American that in case he
found difficulty in procuring food he must
come to the royal headquarters.
The treatment of American Journalists
and travellers by Germans, as well as by
French, has been most flattering compar
ed with that bestowed upon people OF
other nations, and testifies to the popu
larity of our country in all parts of Eu
| rope.
