stantiuople Is not confirmed, but 1t Is said
that the Sultan Is suspicious Of them and
has appointed Mahmoud Damad Pasha
Minister OF War, partly for the purpose
OF neutralizing their influence, although
the act Ia likely to have contrary effect,
as Mahmoud Is intensely unpopular with
the troops. The Sultan nominated him
without consulting sadyk Pasha, hence
his withdrawal from the Ministry. Meh.

represented to be honest and patriotic,
but too old to have much influence. He
is known TO be in favor Of an alliance
with Great Britain.

TROUBLE APPREHEsDED AT CONSTANTS.
soPLE.
LONDON, May 30.-It is reported that
fears are entertained at 81. Petersburg OF
an outbreak or hostile collision at Con-
stantinople. No such apprehensions are
felt here. II is thought that Russia Ia
merely bargaining for the utmost possible
concessions before the final agreement Is
made. Itls said that England ought to
meet the pacific oyertures Of Russia by
the recall Of Minister Layard, who Is not
in sympathy with the present attitude OF
the Russian and British Governments.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg, dated
last night, is in the same strain. II ex.
presses fear that the war party At Con.
stantinople may produce q crisis, and
says the appointment Of Prince Labanof
in place Of General Ignatieff was intended
to lessen this danger, and broad hints are
now being thrown out that the British
government might give some correspond.
Ing proof Of its pacific disposition. These
hints furnish probable explanation OF
the present apparent hitch In the nego-
tiations. Trouble from the Turks is
altogether improbable.
A telegram last night says the impress
sion generally prevails in Constantinople
that peace is assured.
POINTS OF AGREEMENT.
An extra edition Of the Globe, publish
ed this evening, contains the following:
We have good reason TO believe that the
assembling OF the Congress Is definitely
settled. England and Russia have ar
rived at an understanding, subject 70 the
decision Of the Congress on file. The
points are that Bulgaria Is to be divided
into two provinces, one north OF the Bal:
kans, under q Prince, the other south OF
the Balkans, but not touching the Aegean
Sea, with a Christian Governor and q
government similar to that Of the English
colony. The Turkish troops are to
quit Bulgaria. England deplores but
will not oppose the retrocession OF Bessa.

reserves the right TO discuss in the con-

further advance her Asian frontier or
take indemnity in land or interfere with
the claims Of English creditors. The
question OF payment is TO be discussed
By the congress, which will also reorgan.

will suggest at the congress that Europe

question OF Russian occupation ard the

THE REAL INTENT OF ENGLAND TOWARDS
TURKEY.
The Times this morning returns 10 the
subject Of the British protectorate over
Asiatic Turkey, and says: The consti-
tutional ministry in Turkey Is at present
q mere dream. There must be some
permanent centre Of force 10 control by
its attraction the shifting elements Of per-
sonal will or caprice. That central force,
it is 10 be hoped, the Porte will consent
to accept at our hands, and thus intro.
duee the only principle Of stability into
its government OF which II Is capable.
A correspondent says: There is little
reason TO doubt that our Government is
determined 10 exercise control In Turkey,
which will 10 great extent place the
actual government in our hands; not that
the Snltan's authority will be interfered
with, but We shall take care that under 3
new treaty reforms and good government
shall become reality.
AUSTRIA srILL ussArIsFfED.
VIENNA, May SO.-Count Andrassy To-
day informs the Hungarian Delegation
that be thought that Russia would enter
into no agreement damaging to Austria
or Hungary. So far none Of the reputed
Russian replies to the Austrian objections
to the treaty Of San stefano had succeeded
in reconciling the divergent views Of the
two Empires. The points recapitulated
yesterday are by no means exhausted, .n-
volying The interests Of Austria to the
Danubian and RoumAnian questions.
Count Andrassy's language was very de:
termined. BE said the monarchy Is vested
on the basis Of historical development,
and let him who touches Il beware.
