LONDON, October 20.-The Times tele-
gram from Belgrade ss-e: Russians state
that European war will not begin until,
early spring, when, if necessary. Russia
will be prepared to do something in the di-
rection Of India.
Tho Berlin correspondent of the Times
telegraphs that Turkey seems favorable to
an armistice of six weeks. provided Russie
does not insist upOn Q dismemberment of
the Ottoman Empire. If Russia does, Tur-
key will let her do her worst.
The Times states that there is nothing but
the Cabinet together at such an emergency.
1t will only be common sense to wait the
result OF its deliberations before giving
credence to less authentic statements
No such measures ~ those reported can.
be taken without the consideration of the
Cabinet, and the first council since events
took their present anxious turn will be held
to-day for the purpose of action.
At sea we are as near the seat of probable
disturbance AZ any other power. Much moro
must happen bsfore English interests are
meuaced 80 as to call for our immediate in
terposition. It is not to be denied that great
dangers might arise.
We must be prepared to defend all points
threatened. but the mere danger Of Turkey
will not precipitste such measures. Neither
Parliament nor the country would ever
hear of going to war in behalf Of Turkey.
She had her opportunities snd has thrown
them away.
1t would be criminal folly to expend the
smallest amount of English blood or treas

this policy they have the support of the
press and the people. This removes from
consideration Of the chances of the peace
of Europe one of the elements which, in

Danube. =,
There is nothing in this mornings news
to relieve the uncertainty about Russis's
Intentions The London journals, editorial
ly, seem inclined to abandon all hopes of
the preservation of peace between Russia
Turkey.
The Berlin newspapers, on the contrary,
express the opinion that all the powers Of
Europe, including England, are equally in
terested in and responsible for Russia's ac-
ton, in consequence of the failure of their
joint efforts at ConstantInople, and it is un-
just to suspect Russia of folio wing the die
tates of self interest.
The French papers agree that France
will do her best to maintain peace. but viii
not take an active part should the crisis
end ia war.
A special from Belgrade to the Standard
says: Serious fighting occurred near Salt
schar on Tuesday. On Wednesday the
Turks were trying to force their way to,

anxiety prevails here as to the issue, espe-
cially as this movement seems to be made
in concert with operations on the Drina,
The weather has suddenly changed from
tropical heat to heavy rain, gales and cold:
this favors the Servians.
A special dispatch from Vienna to the
Daily Ne,cs says: The Turks at Saitschar

them to the plateau of Kopita, and it il

A special from Berlin to the Times saws
the Italian design of depriving Austria of
her eemi-I Italian districts is unanimously
opposed in Germany.
Aho 1tWeS ulepatcn from VIENNA confirms
the report OF Germsny's rejection of the
proposed six months armistice, and its ac-
ceptsnce BY the other four powers. The
correspondent thinks Germany throws her
influence with Russia in order to force the i,
other powers to agree upon q compromise
which Russia can accept He sees in this q

the situation is most critical. The report that

Roumania is undoubtedly an exag-
geration. but the correspondent has reliable
information that the three army corps of
Kew, kharmon and Odessa are under
orders of mobilization, and there are other
signs of preparations in South western Rus

hand that the eventuality against which
