LONDON, July GA dispatch to the
Standard, from ConstantinOple says: NOT

the contrary, the Sultan's condition is vars
serious and his abdicatiOn imminent.
On the first of March Count SchoDyaEIn
asked Earl Derby whether England iE,-
| tended to observe strict nOn-interyention III
the war between Turkey and Servia. Tssa
Derby replied. undebtedly yes but it must
be clearly understood that the Eng b.
government does not enter into engage
ments to continue to abstain from inter van
tion in an event, which l can not ass EfNs
probable, of different course being pcy-
sued by other powers.
| The special correspondent of the BasszS
Ne,cs at Prince Milan's headquarters AT
Parakin, telegraphs by way of Semlin, s'ns;y
l9, as follows: 1.-The affair of yesterday at
lsvor means defeat to and confession Cd
weakness on the part of the Servisns-
knowing that the Turks had communica-
tion with Widden and could draw trop5s.
thence, it reasonable belief that General
Leschjanin attacked the Turks with all his
available strength. But why did he attaGk
at all7 Clearly to anticipate the Turkish
attack on Saitchar, because he did NOT
wait for the promised cooperation Of Ger
eral Tchernayotf, who either is deiay-
ed en- route or has to fight his
way on his own account. He may ex-
pect speedy renewal of the Turkish as
tack on Saitchar. and much gloom eyAils
here while the Turks continue thus to per-
sistently assail the eastern flank Of the
Servians, and while the Servians can Luz
do more than hold their own with diffcnsty.
Active operations toward the southwest.
where they were chiefly intended, are Tnani
festly impossible. More fighting N tAt
same quarter is momentarily expected.
The Ners' Parakin specials are nOte-
worthy, because that paper openly syDp0r
thizes with the Sclsvonians.
