New YORK, June 16.-A special cable
from Bologne says 1t has leaked out that
"A most important incident, which has been
kept secret terminated the first session OF
the congress on Thursday. Lord Beacon
field demanded energetically that an ar
rangement should he ut nnoa iNada by
which the Russian army and the British
feet should draw simultaneously from the
Vicinity Of Constantinople during the ses-
sions OF the congress, so as to remove all
possible source of danger to the peace OF
Europe un;l final settlement could be ar
rived at. Gortshackof, on the part of Rus
sia expressed the strongest opposition to
this proposal, insisting on the necessity Of
the Russian forces remaining in the position
they now occupy until the congress should
come to final decision on the questions to
be laid be.orc it. This pronounced diver
gencc of opinion showed the diplomatists
present the extreme delicacy and difficulty
of the task they had undertaken, and d =
sipated the sanguine expectation with WI,
some OF them had come TO the congress.
An APPEAL by sNDEAssY.
Count Andlassy, seeing the danger of the
situation, intcrposed and made a strong
appeal 10 the Russian and English repre-
scntatiyes to compromise this matter for
the time being, so that the congress might
90 on with ; work; but neither would
Yield single point, and Andassys appeal
was N vain, A really embarrassing situa-
ton was thus Presented 10 the assembled
delegates at the very outset, and they were
at a loss to know what 10 do.
Prince Bismarck, with his usual prompt
itudc and 'gor, seeing that further discus
sion was useless, determined to adjourn the
session to Monday, so as to allow OF private
efforts at compromising the difficult, and
also to allow time in which to develop a
plan to meet the emergency in case both
persons should persist IN maintaining the
position taken. This is regarded as the
only way the matter could be disposed OF,
as the congress could make no progress in
the face Of such
AN UGLY HITCH.
The conclusion arrived at II the best IN
formed diplomatic circles here from t,lis
unforeseen incident is that the first opinions
which were generally expressed as to the
prospects Of the congress were decidedly too
! op,.mist, and that great difficulties will IN
cvitably arise. In fact from to-day the
congress is face TO face With difficult;
that vii tax the skill of thc ablest states
men present, and a decidedly gloomy view
of the prospect is beginning TO prevail 1t
is conceded on all sides, however, that
Prince Bismarck is determined that the
congress shall arrive at satisfactory con-
cuson of the eastern question, and that he
will use all the power and 'Nhucnce Of Ger
many to bring about an understanding.
The belief in his power is 50 great that
many experienced statesmen, no,N ,thStand-
'1g the difficulties IN 'hc way are confident
that he VIII eventually succeed in aver. NJ
war. In fact with many this confidence in
Bsmarck's peaceful views is the only
ground on which the hope OF a successful
ISSUE OF the congres sis based.
pRL,CE GoRTsCHAKotH,
in order to place his good inten. ons beyond
all reasonable doubt, has offered any re-
quest having been made, to place copies Of

with regard to Antivar.
AuSrRIAs CONFIDENCE SHAKEN.
Ills now known for certain that the Aus.
TRAN government yesterday gave orders for
the immediate mobilization of 10000 men,

regarded As a sure 'NdiCaton that Austria
has little confidence N the congress but m

Prince Bismarck WISHES that the congress
should first grapple with the most difficult
questions, and, therefore, the subject for
discussion on Monday will tie the settle.

the ADMISSION or GREECE PROPOSED.
Lord BeaconSticld intends to propose the
admission of Greece 20 the congress on the
ground that the participation of her repre-

necessary for proper regulation of the
