Vienna reports that Count Andrassy has
informed Sir Henry Elliot, that Austria
would remain neutral in the event of an
Anglo-Russian war.
LONDON, March ga dispatch from
St. Petersburg says the dead lock con-

ready to make considerable notifications
if it can be shown that they are for the
general good, aud that the powers will
enter the congress with desire of arriving
at durable settlement, and not simply to
undo what has been done. 1t is believed,
however, that the English government is
animated by a very different spirit.

LONDON, March 27.-Bucharest papers
attack the stipulation in the treaty of San
Stefano that Rnssia shall maintain COM
munication through Roumauia two years.
They say that the Russo-Roumanian con-
vention terminates with the end of the war

the block of traffic on the Roumanian roads

VIENNA, March 27.-Gen. Ignatieff was

eminent must allow England to entertain

MEXICO.

CITY OF MEXICO, March 90 The
press here severely attack Foster, United
States Minister, The French journal
began and the Mexican newspapers fol-
low They declare that Foster is an OBJ
stacle in the way of settling the difficulties
between Mexico and the United States
and charge that he is actuated by personal
motives. La Liberia, a semi-offcial sheet
asserts that when the Washington gov
ernment has recognized President Diaz the
latter will demand that Foster be recalled.
The Ttoo Republics, which always supports
the Mexican government defends the
American Minister and expresses disgust
at the attacks made on him. The French
are doing everything to throw the Mex
icon government. into a hostile attitude
towards the United States. They fear a
commercial treaty will be made with the
United States which would be injurious to
their interests, as all the commerce of
Mexico is now in European hands.
