The Eastern Question.

LONDON. April l5.-The state of affairs
with reference to the eastern question re-
mains substantially the same, there being
no change iu the attitude of the powers.
The mooted point between England and
Russia is still unsettled, and while this is
the case the prospect of congress and
peaceful arrangement of the whole difficult
ty is as far off as ever. There is strong
feeling in both countries that war is newt
able. At st. Petersburg the belief is stated
to prevail that England's willingness to
continue negotiations is rather for the pur-
pose of isolating Russia than of arriving
at an understanding, Some influential
persons believe that England will go to
war alone, hence earnest efforts continue to
be made to satisfy Austria. Some
moderate men in officicial circles have
begun censuriDg the Russian generals,
diplomats. and newspapers for pushing
the government into position where the
issue between Russian independent action
and European control is unavoidable, but
the majority cf the public continue to
declare that the government has been too
concllliating, and the press opposes any
concessions. Germany's efforts to bring
about an understanding continue, but the
task is rendered delicate and difficult by
existing intimate relations between Ger
many and Russia. Bismarck is reported
to have said recently, in reply to sugges-
ton that he should mediate, we cannot
offer counsel to Rnssia, for adyices on our
part would almost look like a menace.
According to trustworthy information
from Berlin the chances of success of the
present pourparlers are still thought to be
pretty evenly balanced
LONDON, April l5.-The Russian offices
in Bucharest have been leased for another
six months.
In Servia an anti Russian feeling is said
to be developing great strength in the
cabinet and among people. though Prince
Milan is Internationally Russian; the war
preparations continue. In consequence of
Russian remonstrances the Porte has
promised the immediate evacuation of
Varinia and Shumla. 1t is stated Dervlsh
Pasha declares he cannot evacuate
Batoum. Pro Russian advices from Con-
stantinople state the struggle 10 the cabi-
net for assembly, continues; the British
is still in power The insurrection in
Thessalyi is almost overwhelmed by the large
force sent from Thrace and Bulgaria
Hundreds Of empty carts are passing
through Bucharest from Russia going to
the Danube to transport supplies from
depots along the river to troops in the
field.
LONDON. April Is. The Roumanian
press renews the accusation against their
government of secretly abetting Russia.
The opinion is shared by many of the
people that unless the country receives
powerful extraneous support Russia will
succeed in her designs in consequence OF
internal dissensions.
