Of the Danu5iRn principRliiies, which aIe
also peOpled by race that desires to be
prep0nderating, and a primes that wish
es to make himself a rallying point.
Neither can Ssrvia reckon on Greece,
who has had her moment OF glory IL
cOtemporaneous history, and has aroused
the enthus asm Of christian Europe; she
keeps aloof from the present movement,
and considers herself the veritaGe incar-
nation and legitimate heir of the old
empire Of the east. Still less can Servia
reckon on the sympathy OF Hungary,
who is quite Of q different race, and for
whom the triumph of the Slaves would
DO the signal of her own decsdence.
Servia must have calculated the conse-
quenc5s Of this isolation, and il she ven
lures to attack the Turkish masses, it is
apparently because she thinks that
she cannot be abandoned, and that
Russia cannot give up her
role as protecting power. The Eng
lish government, il is true, has declared
it will not interfere with the interior
qusrrels between the Porte and IFS prov
inces, but it has also added that if any
other foreign power intervene, England
will be found to do likewise. Lord Der
by said: Nobody sQpposes that the
maintenance of the Ottoman empire uu-
der any form ia possible if there exists
permanent dissatisfaction among the
christian races, which form in European
Turkey majority too numerous and too
powerful by their intelligence to be DOM
mated merely by force" This Is psr-
iectly true, but it solves nothing, and
only proves the necessity Of changing
the present state of things. The same
impossibiiity OF living together will exist
after the war az it exists to-day. Turk
ish domination can only maintain itself
by force. II the insurgents are victori-
Gus they may obtain Independence on
tue guarantee of separate administra-
ton and the enjoyment Of political
rights; il, on the other hand, they are
crushed by numbers and discipline, their
situation may well call for the intarven-
ton OF the whole of Europe John

INTERVIEW WITH PRINCE MILAN.
Mr.. Forbes, correspondent OF the Lon
doa Daily NeWS, writing from Paraijin
(near Alexinatz), on Friday, July 14lh,
thus describes his interview with Prince
Milan of Servia:
1 had an interview with Prince Milan
this morning. The prince is tall, stout,
very muscular, and greatly resembles
Prince Napoleon, but is more mobile.
He dilated with much animation on the
unity of the Servisn people. The B0s-
mans, the Serviaps, the HeYzegovinians
had all identical characteristics, the
same customs, OIL lin and christian faith.
1t was impossible for Greece and Servia
any longer to remain quiescent specta-
tors of the atrocities praCtiC5d by the
Turks on kindred races. He was fight
ing for the withdrawal Of the Turks
from Bosnia end the Herzegovina, and
would not sheathe his sword until this
was attained. He commented some
what tartly on EngIsnd's attitude favor
ing the Turkish status. quo as counter
balance against Russia. The success of
Ssrvia, he protested, would in nothing
be of adva~ tage to Russia. The eastern
question could only be solved by force of
arms. Turkish rule is a falsehood.
Turkey exists but on paper. Its finances
are rotten, its government corrupt, its
very kilograms are lies. 1t claimed and
celebrated q victory over Leschjanin at
Z2icsr, whereas three Turkish assaults
thereon were utterly unsuccessful.
The prince then gave an account of
the military position, and explained the
reason Of the present comparative mac.
ton of Tchernayeft, on the march with
eight battaliOns nOrthwsrd along the
eastern frontier toward Zlicar, to cope
with q column OF Turks from Widdin,
now at IsvOr. His second command
holds Ak-Palanka and the Clusura Pass.
No Turks hsve pa s2d the defile at Now
BaZsr. The Turks and Servians are con-
fronting each other behind earthworks.
Leschjspin is holding his own on the
eastern frontier. Olimpies, after desper-
ate fighting around Beilns, is co-Operat'
ing successfully with the Bosnian insur-
gents. Montenegrin cO.opera ion is
thorough and hearty.
The prince concluded q long CONVEX.
sation by an EN- phatic declara ion that
Servis would fight to the last gasp iol
the emancipation OF tie christians OF
Bosnia and toe Herzegovina from
Turkish oppression, from the viilainy OF
the pash8s, and the atrocities of the
Bsshi. B szouks, who, pending the dec'a'
ration of war, had ravaged the frontier
villages. The question was no longei
one for diplomacy or negotiation. The
peop 9 had taken 1t out Of the hands Of
governments and diplomatists. It was
national question. He was merely the
instrument Of the ungovernable impulse
| Of the people. He prOfessed high re
gard for English public opinion, and re-
| joiced it was turning in favor Of Seryis
and the christian races against Turkish
oppression.
