publishes telegram which purports to be q
summary of the circular accompanying
Prince Gortschakoff's reply to Lord Sails

clares that Russia has fully redeemed her
promises to Austria, even at the risk OF
alternating Servians.

seized the opportunity to check disorders IN
Bosnia and Herzegovina by an .exation or
imposing reforms. Prince Gortschakof in
conclusion suggests settlement on basis
Of congress by a separate agreement
between various courts as to notifications
to be introduced in the treaty of Paris, and
lsc!aims all responsibility for further COM
plications if the powers refuse to agree to
this course. The Post publishes the follow
ing dispatch from Berlin:
Germany has not only refused Russia &
request to guarantee the neutrality of Aus
tria in the event of war, but is further re-
ported to have declared that she is prepared
10 interfere, if any attempt is made to hinder
Austria from protecting her interests.
