nently. Prince Charles OF Roumania has received
copy OF Russian manifesto which contains the
following declaration:-
Whereas every endeavor by the Emperor OF
Russia to preserve peace has failed, owing to the
stubbornness Of the Porte, while the condition
OF the Christians In the East Is unim-
proved, their lives and property being
menaced; therefore His Majesty, In the name
OF humanity and in the full consciousness
of his sovereign duties as the natural protector Of
the Sclavonan nations in the East, has been COM
PEELED to resolve obtaining by force OF arms such
guarantees for his distressed fellow believers on
Turkish soil as appear absolutely necessary for Sc
curing their future welfare

Intervention is not meant Tor the purpose Of con-
quest and will end after securing the abovemen-

and that General Ignaticn accompanies him.
After weighing these dribets of rumors and con-
lectures against my best information believe the
suppositons about further negotiations on the part
OF the Powers have no positive, tangible founda-
ton, nor is there any information that step win
be taken in the direction Of concession to Russia
during the Emperor's visit at Kischenefr.
The Russian Topographic Agency reports that
the declaration of war Is imminent. There
will be no utimatum, but simply declara-

RussIA's BRIDE TO AUSTRIA.
Dispatches from Berlin report that Russia has given
Austria to understand that II she docs not object
