marked impression, as did also the
finale Of the first act, in which 'Sieg-
fried" FORCES the sword. The closing
scene of the opera, where "Brnnnhilde''

No Prospect of Peace.
LONDON, August Is The Standards
dispatch from Belgrade says there is a
sudden change In the position of the
parties. Toe peace pSrty had enter
tanned anticipatiOns OF the SUCCESS OF
their policy, in consequence Of thu help
lessaess OF the military situation and the
return of Prince Milan from
the field, but the sTrivaI of Russians
aud other foreigners TO enlist in the
army has been taken advantage OF by
the war party to create the belief that
one power st least, will support SeTvis
in coed OF evil future, and the talk is
now Of continuing the war. The Turks
purposely ratard their advance TO give
al opportunity for negotiations, bus the
pssce PARTY are likely to suecesd until
the Turks win another great

stantinople TO the Standard, reports

Intervention AnxiOusly Locked for.
LONDON, August I6.-A dispatch from
BslGrate says that while war prepsra-
tiCns continue actively, and while even
the peace party consider any fate preftra-
BILE to the deposition Of Prince Milan
and the annexation of any part of
Servls to Turkey, or even fer period O.
Turkish rule, there are at the same time
a depression Of spirits and q desire for
peace among the moderate party and
the Sarvian people, and the iutervsn-
ton OF the powers is anXioUsiy looked
for, in the hope that it wOud bring
pescs without any of the above coz
diti0ns, which, IL js feared, the Turks
desire to impose. Rather than accept
any one OF these, the moderate party
will support the government in con-
tinuing the struggle until Servia con.
queTs or cannot fight longer. They say
toe deposition of Prince Milan would
occasion a dynastic civil war, which
would retard the progress Of the couu-
try twenty years. AS for Turkish lule
here, the foremost men of Servia, and
even the opponents OF the war, say it is
better that all the Servians perish In the
struggle than submit TO it; that it is
evident that 4 the intervention Of the
powers DOES not bring peace, that no ar.
rangement between the belIigerents
Is likely to.
A Times Athens dispatch says that in

them to appeal to the great powers and
await the result, which they will proba-
bly, do.
