sERy1AN Army RETNFoRCED.

LONDON, September LA correspon-
dent writing from Belgrade says the Ser.
yian army is being rapidly reinforced and
reorganized by the Russians, who are
crossing Roumania and hurrying up in
large numbers, and that since this influx
the Servians have fought better and seem
likely to hold their ground against the
Turks. The extent Of the advantages
gained is only to be judged by reflex
influence upon the political situation at
Belgrade. A. week ago Prince Milan
under the mediation Of the Powers in the
most formal manner for Servia and
Montenegro jointly. Thisstep was taken
in opposition. to General TchernayeFs
wishes, and in tho face Of his protests and
arguments. It has been daily becoming
more and more apparent that the Prince's
action:is regretted, at least by those in
control Of the Servian government, and
notwithstanding the Powers have notified
Prince Milan Of their acceptance Of. the
task OF bringing about peace negotiations,
it is evident that Seryia will be obstinate
and evade them if possible. Some new
military disaster produces another revul-
sion OF feeling.
Tchernayeti's memorandum against
peace was yesterday officially published
by the Servian Press Bureau. 1t throws
no additional light on the situation, and
It's most striking features are the official
presentation OF arguments hatServia has
nothing to lose by the war since the Euro.
pean powers will never allow the Porte
to depriyeher Of her present political ad.
ministrative rights, and the expression Of
the belief that Russia will soon be forced
to enter the contest il it is prolonged.
PRINCE N1IAN's WAR VIEWS.
BELGRADE, September Lit is said
that the Pacific tendencies OF Prince
Milan are overcome by the representa-
tions Of war party. II is reported that
Prince Gortschakoff has formally de-
manded that ANY mediation undertaken
shall extend to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
THE UNCERTAIN STATUS OF AFFA1Rs.
LONDON, September LA special from
Pesth TO tho NaY says: The passage Of
Russian officers through Hungary is be-
coming q source Of irritation, and several
parties have been arrested and impris-
oned. To-day we have an account Of a
party Of sixty-eighty provided with pass.
ports and travelling under the protection
Of the Geneva Cross, being detained by
order OF the Hungarian homo ministry;
but Baron Holman, who is acting for
Count Andrassy during his. absence,
has decided that they shall be al.
lowed to proceed, and that similar tray
elers from Russia be permitted to pass
unmolested. Meantime peace negotia-
tions which have been committed TO the
ambassadors at Constantinople seems not
to be making very satisfactory progress.
Another telegram states that at the
Council Of the Turkish Cabinet Wednes'
day it was determined to postpone any
decision regarding tho supervision Of
hostilities until the wishes OF the
Powers concerning the terms Of peace
were more fully asCertained. This in
dicates.' that the Powers themselves
have not arrived at,any agreement re.
garding the basis OF the negotiations, and
tends to confirm the statement that Rus
sia desires to include the Herzegovina
and Bosnian affairs in the settlement up
on the basis OF the Berlin memorandum.
If this demand meets with considerable
support from the other Powers, the ncgo.
tiations will be rendered extremely dilli'
cult in consequence OF EDgland's further
rejection Of the Berlin proposals. Tho
feeling that the present situation is danger.
ously uncertain, begins to be reflected
by the prices OF the International stock
upon the London and Continental Ex-
changes.
RUssIA's POSITION.
ST. PErERsBuRG, September lit is
said in official quarters that Prussia has
united with other powers in the efforts
for. pacifcation and that the Russian
representative at Constantinople has de.
clared that should IN armistice. be con-
cluded Montenegro would adhere there
to. No conditions Of peace have as yet
been formulated. Russia without nssum-
ing prominent part in the steps
taken to stop bloodshed, fully ,partici-
pated in the diplomatic action at Bel
grade, which induced Prince Milan.to re-
quest mediation Of the Powers. Russia
has always in view the necessity Of OBJ.
tanning guarantees for securing peaceful
intercourse between the Christians and
Mohammedan populations OF Turkey.
Russian policy remains the same as at the
