THE TREATY OF BERLIN.
LONDON. July 13-The Times publishes
nearly the whole of the text of the treaty of
Berlin. Those parts referring to Asia and
the limits of Servia ahd eastern Roumania
are missing. The substance of the provisions
OF the treaty has been given in the dis
patches during the progress of the congress
The treaty Of peace contains fifty eight ar
ticles. The Iinles's version, declared at Ber-
lin unauthentic, contains fifty seven articles,
and makes no mention Of two important
questions, namely, the Dardanelles and Ar
menia. 1t is probably an early copy, obtained
before the final revision. Its first twelve ar
ticles relate to Bulgaria, which Is constituted
an autonomatic tributary principality, under
the suzerainty of the sultan, with a chris
tan government and national militia.
These articles further regulate the
election of a prince by the notables at Tir-
nova, to arrange a provisional government
previous to his election, and to lay the basis
for the government a fter his election.
Articles IL to % inclusive relate to the
new province called Eastern Roum ania, south
of the Balkans, which is placed under the
direct military and political authority of the
sultan, with, however, christian governor
and an autonomous administration. The |
governor is to be appointed by the Porte,
with the assent of the powers, for FIVE |
years.

already under consideration the scheme of |

Arrangements are also being made for a sub
marine cable to Alexandria, which will give |
direct communication with England. |
Among other schemes brought to the surface |
by the English occupation of Cyprus is the |
Euphrates valley railway. The Duke of |
and others are in active commu-
nicaton with the government on the subject, |
and it is stated that if within reasonable |
time it appears that the Anglo-Turkish con-
vention is successful, it is possible that the
country will be asked to give guaranty for |
the proposed railway.
RESULTS OF ENGLAND's WAR IN AFRICA.
LONDON. July I3.-The Capetown Stan
dard and Mail, summing up the results of |
the war, now ended, with the natives of |
South Africa, says; "Only few small par
ties of the enemy remain, and it will not be |
long before they will be disposed of. Con-
gabdo, Stock, Unfala, Ten, and other chiefs,
have been taken prisoners. SardiG, Duke
mana, aud Syolo, have been killed. Simba |
ence still at liberty is Kreli. The loss on the |
side of the insurgents has been much more |
severe than the natives had experienced in |
any previous outbreak. 1t may be said that |
their power as a people has been utterly de-
stroYed -
