AUSIhlA INTENTIONS,
In the Austrian Reischsrath Yesterday.
Prince Auersperg, president of the Austrian
CABINET, IN reply to an Interpolation respect
ing the alleged intention to occupy Bosnia and
ment were unchanged either regarding the end
or the means. The government, while, striv.
ing to secure in Bosnia and Herzegovina a
state sta OF things which would prevent periodi-
cal recurrence OF disturbances which iniure
Austria, has never intended to withdraw the
question from the consideration of the con
greSs which may be convOked for the settle
ment OF the eastern question. They have
never sought to solve this part of the Question
by cooperation with any single power. All
reports to the contrary are unfounded.
reports are current in Vienna of
FRESH COMPLICATIONS IN ROUMANIA
1t is stated that the Russian l1th army corps
has been pressed forward during the past
week SO as to entirely isolate Bucharest from
Little Mallachia, where the Roumanian army
resentatiyes used every effort to prevent
Prince Charles from going to the army. but
the latter'S position has been rendered intoler.
able by the military and political control as
throughout the country. 1t is asserted that
the Russians are urging the ROumanians to
refuse to pay taxes, and to dethrone Prince
and a Catholic, but that popular feeling is en-
tirely in sympathy with the Prince. The Rou-
manians are looking anxiously to Austria

AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION OF BOSNIA
seems to be talked about as a fOregOne cOnclu-
sion. In some quarters it is regarded as part
OF comprehensive scheme for the settlement
of the Eastern question, but the Austrians
themselves claim that it is an economic neces-
sity to get rid of the Bosnian refugees without
again subJecting them to the outrages of the
MOhammedanS and rendering Bosnia the
scene Of renewed civil war and rapine. Be-
sides the expenses of maintaining the refu-
gees, the latter are now becoming difficult to
control. They are committing numerous
depredatiOns in Croatia. Numbers of them
have been found armed with breech-loaders.
Stringent measures have been adopted for re-
Stfaining and diSarming them.
