special from Belgrade says that Dellgrad is
becoming more Russian than ever. The neigh
byrhood of General Tchernayefs held-
quarters swarm with Russian officers. The
proclamation of Prince Milan as king is re-
garded as purely Russian movement, avow
edly as a defiance to Turkey with the growth
of Russian power. In camp the antipalhy TO
England is openly manifest ed, and absurd
stories are circulated To justify this feeling 1t
is stated that the Turkish staff are English,
and was told by French lieutenant that he
had See En- llshmen in English uniforms in
the Turkish army. L aul positively asSailed
with the clfaTge that England is supplying the
Turks with means TO carry on the war. II is
ungrsteful for the Servians to talk thus con-
sidering the Indignation manif. sted in Eng
land regarding the Deligrad outrages in But
gRria, and the amodnt of aid rendered TO the
ServIan wounded by the English. General
Tchernayef has telegraphed Prince Milan,
regarding affaD of the sixteenth instant, that
the greatest enthusiasm existed In camp, the
proclamation was made with the utmost So
lemnity, and every soldier SwOre that he
would fight until be had shed the last drop OF
blood for the independence OF his country and
the glory of Prince Milan. at church service
on the occasion, fifty priests took part In the
ceremonieS. .Copiesof the telegramwere prtn ed
at Paratjin, bat were suppressed by tue gov
ernment. Prince Milan replied tnat he re-
garded the proclamati IN as an act OF devo-
ton to his person, bug begged that there be no
demonstration. Tchernayen rejOined that
the enthusiasm was too great to be stopped.
The minister OF war was sent to the camp to
tell the generals that the policy of Servia
would be COnductei by the ministry at Bel
grade, and not by the army at Deligrad. Min
lister Ktstics says he thinks the chance for
peace is good, the powers having taken the
reins into their own hands; but Servia never
can accept the Turkish conditions even If
driven to extremity. All OF them are oDJec-
tion able and humiliating, except the one re-
ferring to the construction of II railway. Ser
via will not discuss the reoccupatlon of the
fortresIes by the Turks. AS for Milans going
TO ConstantInople, the minister regards IL as
unnecessary and humiliating. the abolition
of the militia is also useless humiliation.
The iurks have already taken a wauton and
cruel war indemnity in The destruction of all
the villages in the de- artnents OF Ksjaz h
vats Saitchar and Aexlnitz. The basis OF
peace ought to be status quo ante 6eL.uDI.
ServIa has INSIDE such sacrince5 in undertake
ing q war in behalf of the oppressed fellow
Sclaves that she has gained experience which
is the best guarantee on her part for future
peace with Turkey.
The TfnaeS'S telegram from Berlin says the
language of Russian statesmen aud Journal
i-ts is as warlike as possible, but it is believed
that Russia is anxious TO end the affair in
which she is engaged without making an alli-
ance, hoping the SerVianS will be strong
enough to hold their own. The powers have
asked Turkey TO conclude formal armlstice,
which will probably be conceded. II ussiais
content to establish the status quo thu war is
over.
