from COnstantinople says tho Porto yester-
day communicated to the ambassadors Of
the powers plan Of reforms applicable to
the whole empire, including the removal of

0my for Bosnia, Bulgaria and Herzegovina
would be useless, although it does not
formally refuse autonomy.
Tho Berlin correspondent of the Times
Oo@ments upon the excited tone of the
R0sslan and Hungarian press. He Gays it

ped, even if she has no allies. The tone of
many of the leading organs of Germany is
strongly opposed to the supposed ambitions

Audacity.
Bulgaria is the key of Turkey. Should
