Is said that the Pope intends to dismiss the

He will probably reside mostly at Castle
Gandolfe, village fourteen miles south
west Of Rome, in order to be away from
the Italian Government.
The report of the appointment of Card.
nal Simeoni as Pontifical Secretary of State
is premature.
Russia.
The st. Petersburg correspondent OF the
Times repeats that he has reason to believe
that Russia is disposed to come to an AMIGA
BILE arrangement regarding the straits, but
the irritation at England's supposed design
to form an offensive alliance with Austria is
increasing. w
The leLegrdph's Vienna dispatch says that
the willingness OF Russia to grant conces-
sions to Austria arises from the fact that the
Princes Of Roumania and SerYia have re-
solved to accept Austrian protection If it is
obtainable.
The London Times, in its leading editorial
article, says that the announcements in Par
lament on Friday will be welcomed as reviv-
ing some hope OF peaceful settlement of
the Eastern question.

critically located, on account OF danger
from torpedoes.

and whitehead torpedoes to the sea Of Mar
mora in sections for instant use. They
now occupy Chorakio, Rodesto, Ergli, Sill
vey, and Tchkmedie, all Of which are ad-
mirablY suited as base for torpedo opera
tions, should it be decided to menace our
fleet. Proceedings are taken nightly to
guard the vessels against surprise.
Austria.

the Standard says: "Austria, in conse-
quence OF Germany's confidential repre-
sensations, has abandoned the idea Of war,
but would occupy Bosnia and Herzegovina if
Russia persists in her Dretensions."
The Standards Pesth dispatch says that
the Hungarian delegation has determined
not to vote credit if it intended to be APP
piled for occupation Of Bosnia and Herze-
govina. The delegation is DESTROYS Of a

PARTIAL OCCUPATION OF CoNsTANTINoPLE BY
RUSSIANS EXPECTED.
VIENNA, March 2.-The Political Cores
pondenCe publishes Constantinople dis
patch which says: 'Reliable intelligence
from various quarters agree In stating that
the entry Of a portion Of the Russian army
into Constantinople may shortly be expect
ed irrespective OF the signature, or delay in
the signature, Of the peace-treaty."
The same paper publishes semi"offlcial
communication from st. Petersburg taking
exceptions to Count Andrassy's demand for
5000, 900 forms. It says: "Though not in
tended for ornaments direct against Russia,
this credit places Austria outwardly on the
same footing as England. Russia has GER
tainly no objection to Austrian occupation
OF Bosnia and Herzegovina. Austria OBJ
jects to complete autonomy of the whole
OF Bulgaria, formed into single province,
and its two years. occupation by Russia.
The latter combats the partition OF Bulga-
ria into two provinces. Temporary Rus
sian occupation is imperative for the main
tenance of tranquility with the prevention
OF excuses by the Bulgarians, but measures
OF control and suspension may be taken to
prevent the occupation assuming the char
acter OF conquest or assimilation thereto"
Turkey.
A dispatch to the Times from Gallipoli,
February 18th, says a telegram from the
Turkish Minister OF War orders the Gov
ernor Of the Dardanelles to prevent any
more men-of-war, whether British, French,
or Austrian, from entering the Sea OF Mar
mora.
A Pera telegram to the Times, dated Feb
rllary 18th, says the Porte is fully prepared
to sign the treaty OF peace except the clause
concerning the iron-clads, on which Russia
is unlikely to insist, and hence the signature
OF the treaty is expected on Saturday.
