moned to meet at Balmoral. The further

The man .of-war Shah, carrying twenty
six gunr, and reported to be the fastest YES
sci in the navy, has been ordered to REIN
force the British fleet at Besika Bay.
The Post has information that Russia has
ordered the mobilization of the corps
d'armee, which has its headquarters at
WARSAW.
A dispatch from Belgrade to the Reuters
Telegram Company states that the Turks
have captured SchliecOvaz and taken the
heights Of Gredetin.
The Paris correspondent of the Times in
Inmates that there is Q probability of Tur-
key throwing overheard the protection of
the powers and negotiating directly with
Russia. Turkish Statesmen think they can
save Bulgaria by granting the liberty of
the BosphoIus to Russia. 1t is true Turkey
is bound by the treaties of 1856, to which
the freedom of the Bosphorus is contrary,
but the powers of Europe are driving
Turkey into negotiations with her bitterest
enemy, and the Porte may break the treaty
in despair.
A dispatch to Reuters Telegam Company
from Paris says: 1t is stated here that
England has replied to Russia, that as she
has already supported six months armis-
tice she can not now recommend one of six
weeks. but she will not oppose it. No
power appearing willingly to take the initia-
and Russia.
A solution can thus only be looked for at
Constantinople. Diplomatic circles here
still hope for . pacific settlement.
To-day's dispatches neceseitate serious
modification of previous views entertained
in regard to the Eastern question by the
confession of the Times Vienna correspond
which bad declared their acceptance of the
six months armistice. Neither Austria,
France nor Italy had notified the Porto Of
their adhesion to that proposal, though
none had objected to it. England alone,
therefore, took formal action in its favor.
The effect of this is that all powers except
England remain in the position to urge the
Porte to cQncede the Russian demand. On
the other hand it seems certain that Russia
has not the support of either Germany or
Austria in the contemplated movement
against Bulgaria.
The announcement that the Czarowitch
will visit the courts ct Vie1na, Berlin and
London seems to indicate that Russia is
hesitsting to act separately. Anyhow, the
mission Of Colonel Detashokoff, the Cars
adjutant, to the Emperor Of Austria Jared
and the weight Of evidence seems to show
that tho other powers have, like England,
taken up an expectant attitude in the face
of Russia's warlike preparations, for We have

inpsired Reuter- dispatch from Rome, which
says contrary to rumor, Italy up. to the
present time, maintains an attitude OF re-

Al Belgrade it is declared that the Cars
