LONDON, July 26.-A Vienna correspondent mt
adduces as further proof of the groundlessnes SIS
of the peace rumors, the fact that the Ottoman
ambassador at Vienna has been ordered to
make large purchases of war material. This
and similar measures show that the war party
has the upper hand in Constantinople.
Military reports show increased bitterness
between the belligerents, each charging the
other with uncomfortable cruelties. 1t is GER
tain that as the Russians advance, the Moham-
medans massacre the Christian population
Turkish statesman are concerned at this, but
forsee that the masacres will ultimately assume
such dimensions that they cannot be prevent
ed. The Austrian consul at Smyrna announces
that that the Christians are in constant terror.
The Sultan's advisers have called the attention
of dipomatists to the state of things, wish ing
to render the Russians alone responsible for
what may happen.
