LONDON, May 16.-In spite of the
silence of the st. Petersburg semi
~ ininl fhnrn 10, Isft1a h.
that the following represents the
present views of the Imperial Court
and chancellory: Notwithsta nding
the secrecy observed in regard to
Count Schouvaloff' reports to the
Emperor and the conference at the
Foreign Office, the various points
whereby a real understanding
may be attained form the subject
of discussion in we'll informed po-
litical circles. Although in the first
place, the necessity of securing the
great object of the war-the inde-
pendence of Christians-is insisted
upon, there is, on the other hand,
no disposition to inscribe "Noli
me tangere" on the map of New
Bulgaria, which was only set up as
provisional draft, AT tho same
time other compensalions than
those touched on in lieu of
war indemnity are not re-
garded as excluded from dis
cussion. While it is declared
that there can be absolutely 10 Sc.
rious idea Of the retrocession of
Kars; the same is now true of
Batoum. The advantage to Russia
of the acquisition of Batoum is said
to have its reverse side inasmuch as
millions must be expended in
the construction of convenient lines
of communication and proper forth
fications before the possession of
the place could be rendered of
great Importance. In the peaceful
current of general Indications, fa-
vorable significance is attached to
the fact that the right of the sale of
arms on the streets has been with
drawn from Gonolas, which had
lately adopted warlike tone.
Gortschakoff Is slightly better.
