the Car at Moscow in reply to an ad-
dress of the citizens: 81 thank you for |
your sentiments respecting the political
situation which is now more clearly de-
fined than before. YoY F that Tur-
key has yielded to my derD4nds for an
immediate armistice to end the useless
slaughter in Servia and Montenegro
In this unequal struggle the Montene-
grins, as heretofore have shown them
selves real heroes. Unfortunately the
same cannot be said of the Servians,
notwithstanding the assistance of our
volunteers, many Of whom shed their
blood for the Sclavonic cause. ] know
that all Russia joins me in warmly
sympathizing in the sufferings of our
brethren and co-religionists. The true
interests Of Russia are, however, dearer
to me than all. My wish to the utmost
is TO spare Russian blood. Therefore ]
have striven, and will, to obtain real
improvement of the position Of the
Christians by peaceful means. In few
days negotiations will commence at
Constantinople. My most ardent wish
il that we may arrive at a general agree
ment; should this, however, not be
achieved, and should / see that we can
not obtain guarantees necessary for what
we intended to demand from the Porte,
I am firmly determined to act independ-
emily. / am convinced that the whole
of Russia will respond to my summons
should ] consider it necessary, and Rus
sia's honor require it. Moscow will
lead the van by its example. May God
! help us to carry out our sacred mis-
sion"
