To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
NV attention was called this morning 10 an

retention OF tho train, that was caused by little
misunderstanding, and was of short duration.
AS to the "boisterousness' of 1.-The boys you

An Alliance Between servIa. ROumanis
and Greece.
IN Y Times,

The results of the interview OF Ischl
still continue to be the great question of
interest, and 1t is i-offlcially de-
clared that not only will Austria with
draw her objections to the offensive
participation of Roumania in the war,
but that Servia is at liberty to attack
the Porte whenever she pleases, provi-
ded the Bosnian and Herzegovnian in
surgents receive no assistance, ard
that the military operations be limited
to the direction Of the eastern and
southern frontiers-t is, to the Timok
and Morava valleys. There Is then,
very little doubt that hostilities will
shortly commence along those lines
with general government among
the Greek populations in Thrace, Mace
donia, Epirus and Thessaly. Indeed,
the most serious symptom OF the al
legged Serves Greece. Roumanian alliance
is to be found in the organization OF
bands Of Hellenic volunteers in Rou-
mania, where free passage on the rail
WAYS is given to all who desire to re-
turn to Greece. Five hundred young
men started last week for Athens, and
new war committees are being organ
lied In the interior, and newspaper,
the Sylldgrus. has been started In the
capital. which. In Greek and French,
openly advocates a union OF all the
assertion Of their rights. Although the
announcement OF this alliance is
probably premature, there Is no doubt
that the movement In that direction has
begun, and even should the German
government refuse the request made by
King George for couple of its gen.
erals, to whom the command OF his
army shall be conflded, there is little
doubt that Hellenic insurrection will
seriously embarrass the Turkish plans.
The Hellenes know that they have
nothing to hope for from European di-
plomacy, and that they will receive
nothing except what they may gain for
themselves. and 80 they propose to take
tee Rigas, whose headquarters
are at Athens, is manifesting an extra
ordinary activity, and within a short
time everything tends to show that Its
programme will be put into action. It
is almost superfluous to speak Of the
agitation In Crete, where the refusal Of
the population to send q commission,
composed half Of Christians, half Of
Mussulmans, to confer with the Porte
on the question Of certain reforms de-
handed by the Inhabitants, has pro-
vOked an order Tor the seizure or some
of the notables of the island. Persons
here, in direct communication with the
province, confidently assert that the ex-
the signal for the outbreak Of the in
surrection, in spite of the presence Of
the English feet. In short, the move
ment in the East is fast assuming such
proportions that should diplomacy fail
in finding perfectly satisfactory solu-
ton to the question within the next six
