RUMoRED INTERFERENCE.
LIVERPOOL, April 27.-The Courier
London correspondent telegrsphs that
the British government has resolved to
interfere between Russia aud Turkey. /
have the highest authority for stating
that her majesty'S government has just
been called upon by Austria to fulfill her
engagements under the tripartite treaty
OF 1896 for protecting the integrity OF the
Ottoman empire, and that a decision has
been come to at cabinet council. The
cabinet resolved as the first step TO make
| a formal request TO the Russian govern
ment to state the object VI the military
operations now being undertaken against
the Ottoman government, and define the
extent TO which il Is proposed To carry
those operations. The correspondent
also learns that the Austrian govern
ment will address an inquiry OF the same
purport TO Russia. France, the third
party 10 the tripartite alliance, has not
been required 10 take action in cOnsIdera-
ton OF the strained relations OF France
and Germany. The treaty enambes any
one OF the three powers 10 act separately
in the fuliillment OF its terms, or to call
upon either or both OF the powers TO full
fill the treaty by joint action.
Austria has obvious reasons tor not en-
broiling France, yet Austri cannot

country was not likely TO be called on to
tuihil the trlpartite treaty, yet within six
days the British government had act
ually been required TO fulfill its UNDER

war against Russia will arise shortly,
The situation is regarded at Vienna as
far more urgent than British statesmen
are ready to admit, and the initiative OF
military action lies with Austri. Ii was
reported last night that Lord Napier,
governor OF Gibralter, had been instruct
ed 10 20 TO Malta, and that's portion OF
me guards are ordered to embark for
Malta immediately. These reports are
believed to be premature, although it Is
understood that the strengthening OF the
garrison at Meta has been under Official
consideration since the government re-
ceiyed from Vienna a requisition TO ful-
HI the trpartite treaty.
MISCELLANEOUS IrEM3.
BUCHAREST, April 27.-Two Turkish
monitors, each carrying four guns, adj
vanced yesterday to the mouth OF the
river Sereth 10 take soundings. The
Russians continue to concentrate at Bar
Doschl. The railways from Jassy to Fir
guila and Dohalska to Pascani are inter-
rupted by floods. The Roumanian
chamber OF deputies has adopted bill
au'horizing acquisitions from the army.
Inc government will probably refer the
political questions to the chamber to-
morrow with view Of cliciting its de-
cisions.
RoUMANIAN MATTERS.
n dispatch from Bucharest mentions
report that the Turks have taken pos
session OF a wooded island between Kali
adash and Silistria, whereupon the in.
habltants have fled. Public feeling in
bucharest inclines more and more to an
alliance OF Roumania with Russia. 1t
seems likely that the chambers will vote
absolute confidence in the present minis
try and Will indemnity them before
