sFRv1A AND RoUMANIA HEsTTATING.

LONDON, trluhy, aug. olf 100
Vienna dispatch to The Times confirms the report
that the Servans are hestating 1t says Russia has
refused to conclude formal treaty with either
Servia OF Roumania, as by 80 doing she would
acknowledge them as independent powers, which
she has been careful not to do advance of the rest
of Europe. The Prince of Roumanis has been
content to enter into the war, trusting mere
ly to the Cars word that all would be right Prince
Nilan is quite ready to do likewise, but Minister
Ristics delays by insisting formal convention.
He probably does not expect to carry his point but
wishes to make the best possible bargain for Serva,
and also delay intervention till time when IL
would not expose Servia to so much risk as at
present.
The Turkish Ambassador at Vienna has delivered
q note reminding the Powers that Turkey at the
conclusion of the late Servian war, neglected the
opportunity of rendering ServIa harmless at their
request and stating that in Servla should again
take up arms, Turkey would not consider herself
bound hereafter to treat her with the same modera-
ton, and would only consult her own military aud
political interests.
