THE WAR IL TIE EAST.
Despairing Tone OF the English
PresS-Austria and England IN
Concert for Peace.
LONDON, October 19.-The special dis.
patches from London, say the situation
to-day is quite as gloomy as it seemed
yesterday. There Is indeed less excite
ment this morning on stock exchange
than yesterday, but there is II possible
profounder conviction that generaLwar
Is isinevitable.
The tone Of the leading papers this
morning is mot only depressed, but it is
despairing and the leading writers seem
to give up all hope that the general con.
flict can be averted. 1t is conceded that
no one can see the end Of the complica-
tions, should Europe really be summoned
to arms. To add 70 the excitement aud
distrust, it is just announced In London
that orders have been given and that three
corps Of the British army shall be imme-
diately modified. ~.
VIEHNA, October 19.-The adyices are
that Austria and England are advising
the Porte to yield on the guarantee ques'
tion.
Count Andrassy, it is stated, is deter
mined to act in concert with England on
the Turkish question, Notwithstanding
the efforts Of the military court party Of
Austria 10 influence his action.
The present indications are that in re:
spect TO the war programme, Russia
stands alone and Italy has modified her
rejection Of the armistice by putting it in
q milder form.
The employment OF troops to intervene
in Bulgaria Is being agitated.

ity to contract loan Of 10,0000 900 drach-
mas.
LONDON, October ia dispatch from
Berlin says: At the present moment the
Powers are supporting the proposals
which Russia has made to the Porte
exactly the same terms as previously
adopted by England. Russia, Of course,
Ia averse TO sole action as long as pos
sible, and in reply to all overtures intend
ed TO weaken the triple alliance has init
mated her intention to adhere, and has
pointed out to one power that the supposi-
ton that misunderstanding might arise
between Austria and herself is in no
way justified by the state of affairs.

ARoYAL AMBASSADOR.
BERLIN, October 19.-The North Ger.
man Gasettc this evening announces that
It learns from good source in St. Peters
burg that the Czarowitch will soon leave
Livadia for Vienna, Berlin and London
for the purpose Of personally promoting
the unanimous action OF the great pow
erS in the interest Of a satisfactory solu-
tion of the Eastern question. According
to the assurance given in 81. Petersburg
circles the Gar still adheres to his resolu-

lance.
NOT NECESSARILY INVOLVED IN WAR.
It will be understood that this result
does not involve positive decision re-

existence OF virtual war between Rus.

Of things calling for our interference
aud that we are not. called on
either by the text Of treaties or by any
moral obligation to defend one Of those
empires against the other. The nation
reserves full liberty OF action. Should the
compromising Of her interests ever call
for interference, all we can see at present
is that 4 war OF race and religion suffi.
ciently formidable is likely 10 .ensue 10
Eastern Europe. Ifit was a permissible
policy 10 wait and see what would
come Of the struggle between the Turks
add their rebellious subjects, it Is mot
NOW wrong to stand aside and see the de-
velopment OF the same contest. England
has never undertaken to interfere in the
concerns Of the Continent without contl-
mental allies. There is no good ground for
believing we should have any real sup.
port from any power in a war for
the defence OF the Turkish government.
Efectual resistance TO Russian power
must proceed from Austria and Germany!
Itappears unlikely that either will take
a hostile position toward Russia, all
having returned 10 the ttiple alliance.
The Berlin correspondent OF the 1fnes
telegraphs!that II Ia undefstood that the
Austrian reply 70 the Cars second let
ter while promising neutrality in the
event Of Russian invasion of Bulgaria,
practically reserves for Austria the right
cooperating in any other part Of Turkey,
IN COMPLETE ACCORD.
A Paris special to the Times says that
there is no doubt Of q complete accord be.
tween Russia and Germany and Austria,
It can be easily seen that England and
France will mot break their neutrality,
Therefore Russia has only Turkey 70
face. The only minister Of the Ottoman
Cabinet who believed that Turkey might
defend herself and depend upon re-
ceiving European aid has fallen. The
Cabinet are now convinced that Turkey
can NOT count on the accord Of Europe in
her favor, and that Turkey can't longer
maintain complete dominion Of the
Balkan Peninsula. II they hesitate about
a six weeks armistiee it ia because they
wish to know the conditions to which
they have to submit. What Russia wants
is now known, and the 0ttaman Cabinet
will probably resign themselves to 1t.
