scKsESs CAUSED By HEAT.
BE1dRADE, October 1.-THE unseason.
able heat Is causing much sickness. Last
week an outbreak Of the plague occurred
at Agangelovlolz which killed three hun.
dred and eighteen servians. Their
clothes and bedding were burned and the
ground ploughed up, when the pestilence
ceased as suddenly as 1t appeared.
AGREAT WAR.
LONDON, October 1.-THE correspond.
ent Of the Ifma at Belgrade, discussing
the situation, says that every diplomatic
agent here believes that we are on the
eve Of . great Eastern war. The only
difference OF opinion among them is as to
whether 1t will commence in the spring
or almost Immediately. All outward
indications seem TO favor the latter idea,
which would give Russia and Seryia
great advantages.
THEAcuoS OF AUSTRIA.
Strange rumors are current concerning
the intended action Of Austria.
LONDON, October 1.-THE Sunday
semi official intelligence received at Bel
grade is that the Emperor OF Austria had
informed the Car that Austria would re-
main neutral and would make no OBJ
lection to any certain limited occupation
Of one Of the Christian provinces Of Tur-
key.
THE WAR REGARDED AS UNAVOIDABLE.
The St. Petersburg JOURNAL semi off.
cial paper, says, there are indications
that the people Of Constantinople regard
the war rs unavoidable, and welcomes
Russia's decision to finish the matter
without delay. The meeting OF Russian
statesmen, at Liradia, indicates crisis
in our politics. This meeting represents
official Russia assembled in view Of Bos-
pherus and the seat Of war.
A ST. Petersburg letter TO the 1Imes
dated October II, says: "Doubtless the
general impression here is that Russia is
on the eve Of the long wished for struggle
with Turkey"
A special from Vienna states that the
English and French governments, es-
pecially the former, have decidedly pro-
nounced TOR the acceptance Of the six
months armistice. Austria is inclined to
do likewise, and has asked Germanys
opinion, which, however, has not yet been
given. Italy, on being pressed BY Eng
land to give definite reply, says that it
does not want In any way to anticipate
servias decision, as II regards the armis-
tice rs disadvantageous to Servia.
A telegram from Bucharest announces
that a contract has been concluded be-
tween the Roumanian and Russian rail-
way companies by which the former un-
dertake to hold in readiness, at the dis.
posal OF Russia, sufficient trains 10 trans
port 1000 troops daily.
The Pail Mall Gazette publishes spe-
cial from Berlin which says: The Great
Powers have now reverted to Lord Der
by's earlier proposal to conclude an
armistice for six weeks without condi-
tions, in order to devise during that time
basis for treaty OF peace. There is
no truth in the report Of German mobil-
ization:
Col. DetaShkotf. mentioned in Berlin |
special 70 the ItFa as pelng on mission
to Austria on behalf of Russia, is the
Cars Adjutant.
A dispatch from Vienna says: It is
believed, in well informed circles here,
that an alliance between Austria and
Russia is on the point Of being concluded,
according to which Russia, in event Of
Turkey refusing short armistice would
enter on military Intervention, while
Austria would remain neutral. Russia
would not occupy the Turkish provinces
but should events lead TO the overthrow
Of the Ottoman government, Russia
would yield to Austria such extension
Of her territory as she might claim on
the grounds OF commercial or general
interest.
The Tima, in a leading article, points
out that peace or war depends on \
prompt reply by the Porte TO Russia's
demand for six weeks armistice. The
Times repeats its argument in favor Of
the Powers urging Turkey to accept the
Russian demand.
