Igsatien's Mission a Failure.


LONDON, March 30.-All the Vienna
correspondents of the London journals
concur IN the statement that General
Ignstieft's mission has failed.
A Times Vienna correspondent doubts
whether General Ignstisf has the power
and will so to alter his map of Bulgaria
as TO suit the views here, but even should
some kind of agreement be come to
about the map, there will still be a good
deal to be said as to the Organization OF
the principaIty by Russia, and its ocCu-
patton by flty thousand men for years.
The desire for an understanding may be
sincere, but the views are widely diver
gent. 1t may be doubted whether this
will be easy of accomplishment.
Russian Encroachments.
The Times in an editorial says that
neither the objects which Russia pro-
claimed at the outset nor the events Of
the war justified her in the advance upon
CoDstsntinople or her approach to the
Bosphorus and Dsrdanelles, and as long
as she remains in that menacing position
we shall feel it necessary to
retain our ships in the Sea
of Msrmora, and SO long consequently
will peace be uncertain. 1t is Russia
who has trespassed upon the forbesrsnce
of England, and not England who has
shown lack of consideration for her.
That forbearsnce has now been strained
to It's utmost limits, but nothing but ne
cessity would induce us to assert our
rights by force. A timely and temperate
concession on the part Of the Russian
Cabinet would, without in the least COM
promising the Interests of Russia, insure
the peace of Europe.
Greeks and Turks.
ATHENS, March 30.-Fierce fighting
mas occurred at MscrInitzs between the
insurgents and turks. Several Turkish
ships are bombsrding the villages on the
coast. Phe British iron turret ship De-
vastation and the corvette Ruby are
cruising along the coast of Macedonia,
for the purpose Of rescuing refugee wo-
men and children.
New British Movement.
LONDON, March 3O.-A correspondent
provincial journal says: The belief is
current that some steps for safe.
guarding British interests, like the entry
of fleet into the Black Sea or the occu.
patton of Gallipoli, has been determined
upon.
English Army Order.
LONDON, March 3O.-The report OF the
appointment OF the Marquis of Sails.
bury as Secretary OF State is formally
contradlCted,
The following notice has been pre-
pared for issue to the officers of districts
throughout the Kingdom: "Her MaJes-
ty, having been graciously pleased to di-
rect by proclamation, that the first class
of the army reserve force be ordered cut

Ing the army.
Conference Correspondence.
LONDON, March 29.-The correspond
ence concerning the Conference IS pub
lished to-day. The facts are substantially
as previously communicated in the dis
patches to the Associated Press. Aus
tria is the only government which ex-
pressed an opinion about Englands
demand for the submission of all the
articles of the treaty of San Stetano to
the Congress. Austria thought the
reservation of full liberty of action by
the Powers a sufficient guarantee, and
that it was not to the interest Of Eng
land or Austria to raise difficulties on
this point.
A preliminary conference of ambsssa-
dors at Berlin was suggested by Bis
msrck and Immediately declined by
England, because it was useless.
In conversation with Lord LOTUS, the
British Ambassador at st. Petersburg,
Gortschakof, the Russian Princes said THAI
If the congress made any notifications N
the treaty they would be snbjec.
TO further arrangements between Russia
and Turkey. Russi. could only accept
the discussion ofthoss points of the treaty
affecting European interests.
Sir Henry Elliot British ambassador
at Vienna telegraphed 10 Lord Derby
on the 23d inst. that he was trustworthIly
informed that Prince Gortschakot told
the Roumanian agent at st. Petersburg
that Russia would not allow the question
OF the cession of Bessarabia TO be dis
cus.ed By the congress.

believed to be seml.otiicial on Eugands

the British feet in the Sea OF Marmora,
and England's possession Of GIb'aI!er

loui: Tho calling ont o; there serves, not

path OF provocation. Russia has
fulfilled all her promises. She did not

which could secure to the East an era OF
prosperity, and TO Europe long years OF
peace. She will deeply deplOre the
alterations which may counteract her
pacific works, but st the same time she
will await with arms in her hands ary
