The cable furnishes us with the text of the
Russian protocol signed last month at Lon
don. Setting forth in brief but pregnant SEN
tances the necessity for reform in the admins
tration of government in the Christian
provinces of Turkey, and urging that self-in-
terest as we'll as the honor of the Sultans Gov
eminent demand the immediate institution of
and loyal adherence to these measures, SO essen
tial to the peace Of Europe, the protocol pro-
dc fo of no Of
in this respect shall be again disappointed, and
if the condition Of the Christian subjects of
the Sultan is not improved in a manner to pre-
vent the return of complications which period
ically disturb the quiet of the East, such a
state of affairs will be considered incompatible
with the interest of the signatory powers and
those of Europe in general. A qualifying
declaration, added by the English Minister be-
fore signing the protocol, releases Great
Britain from any obligation to enforce it's

Advices from the capital of mexico indicate
growing dissatisfaction with the Diaz Govern
ment among both the army and civilians. The
tickle people of that unhappy republic are be-
ginning to realize that Diaz's pretentions as
reformer are a poor substitute for the consti-
nationality and general fairness of his
predecessor in administration. Iglesias
prospects for the Presidency are represented as
null, even if Diaz falls. The public sentiment
strongly tends toward Lerdo, who is known to
be organizing Government for his own resto-
ration. The exiled President, it Is said, will
soon raise the standard on Mexican soil, when
it is believed the country will rally SO strongly
in his support that his prompt Reinstatement
will be the only alternative of bitter civil war.

ports against an expected attack from the Turk
ish iron-clads.
European advices are again warlike in tone.
