ningson and Herr Won Workenbeck,
Speakers OF the Russian and German
Parliaments and eminent members of
the Moderate Liberal party, will be-
come Ministers of Finance and Inte-
rior respectively. The Ministry of
Commerce will be combined with that
of Agriculture under Friendthal.
Prince Bismarck's motive in establish
ing closer relations with the Moderate
Liberals seems to be a wish to form a
strong majority for the support of his
financial and political projects. 1t De-
ing doubtful whether an increase of
direct tax would be polite, Prince Bis
marck. contrary to the recognized
financial programme Of the Liberals,
intends to resort to indirect imports,
especially a heavy tobacco duty and
excise. Probably other motives are
connected with the Cabinet changes
which it would be difficult to fathom
as yet. II the Emperor approves the
new appointment, they will likely be
announced about the end of January,
when Prince Bismarck returns to Ber-
lin.
BELGRADE, Dec. p.
Prince Wrede. the Austrian diplo-
matte agent, has informed the Servian
Government that Austria decisively
protests before hand against Servia ex-
tending her action either warlike or
revolutionary TO Bosnia and Herzego-
viDia. Seryia has consequently given
her formal assurance that the strictest
orders have been forwarded TO the
commander of the Drina corps to re-
frain from hostilities in the direction of
| Bosnia.

sequence of ex-Queen Isabella's over

lar has not yet been received. but Lay

LONDON, Dec. %.
A correspondent, at The headquarters
of the Russian Rustchuk army, says:
The snow is yer two feet deep, and all
operations are suspended. Transport
service to bridges crossing the Danube
at Sistora and Petroshaniis interrupted.
There are no sledges here to replace
the wagons. which are rendered useless
by the snow. The Quartermaster's
Department has declared that it can
not supply food for cavalry here. One
regiment of Cossacks is about to start
for Roumania to obtain prcvender.
The best authorities eoncur in the
opinion that the Russian bridges across
the Danube must all go i'm a few days,
when communication will be COM
pletely cut off until the river is frozen
enough to permit crossing on the ice.
If the winter is of ordinary vigor. field
operations will be impossible. Osman
Pasha arrived at Bucbareston Wednes-
day last. His wound is progressing
favorably.
Both Russia and Turkey are Just
now making the greatest possible pre-.
tensions for effect, one to exact better
terms and the other to escape more
easily. The dimensions of the con-
templated Turkish resistance are great
ly magnified. The main effort will be,
in case of a failure to make peace, to
make such q resistance as will pro-
woke Russia and lead her to demand
terms which will force English inter-
ference. The earthworks at Constan-
tinople are being repaired. the present
works and guns being of no account.
The capture of the garrison of Misch
Is certain. as the place is now sur
rounded by greatly superior forces,
rendering the capitulation Of the gar
rison unavoidable. Movements are in
progress which will force Chakir
Pasha to evacuate Sophia and Etropol.
A Russian detachment will cross the
Balkans within a short time. Columns
operating for this purpose are not i'm
psded greatly by the weather, and are
now moving into position.
