SOME INTELLIGENT COMMENTS ON THE
SITUATION.
NEW YORK, October 20.-The Graphic
special from Washington says the real
cause of the panic in England ON the
Turkish question is the announcement
of the Gar that he proposed to take
possession of Armenia, which would
bring the Russian power upon the flank
of Turkey and within striking distance
OF Syria, the Holy Land and the Medi-
terranean Sea. BY this road Russia
eventually expects to reach Egypt and
the Suez Canal. The occupation Of Ar
menia means eventually the total de-
struction OF the Ottoman power. 1t is
also surmised that Germany has similar
designs upon Denmark and Holland, as
otherwise she would never have con-
sented to this enormous possible ag-
grandizement of Russia.
BRITAIN HESITATES.
LONDON, October 20.-At the Cabinet
Council nothing definite was decided
upon. In the mean time there will be no
declaration of war.
