THUNDER.
LONDON, May 24.-The Times, in its leading
article says: It becomes every day matter
Of more and more imperative necessity for
Russia to obtain recognition by other powers
some modified arrangement under which she
will be relieved from what is practically state
OF war. This can only be done by full discus
sion Of the San Stefano treaty in a European
| congress. Russia already knows the simple
condition on which alone England can enter in
to such a congress. 1t may be modified posi-
bly, in form, but in substance it must be be
conceded.
AUSTRIA SIDES WITH ENGLAND.
A Vienna correspondent says Count Andrassy
and his colleagues have come round to Eng
lands view about the terms on which the con-
gress should meet, as we'll as on many other
points. Germany is distrusted. Prince Bis
marck whose influence here was once omnipo-
tent, now frequently tenders advice which is
UNDECIDED.
Pera correspondent says the embassies
there are hopeful of peace. 1t is believed the
in the councils of the Sultan, ALSO
ROME AND GERMANY
correspondent at Rome telegraphs that the
Vatican, in its negotiations with Germany,
having refused to recognize the Folk law, pro-
poses instead to come to an agreement on the
basis of the bull de salute uni,uO17n1 issued in
1871 to regulate the relations between church
and non-Catholic States. The Vatican. how
ever, entertains little hope that the proposal
will be accepted.
CONsTANT1NoPLE QUIET.
Pera correspondent says Constantinople is
tranquil. momentary excitement was caused
by Ali Suavis' proceedings on Monday, but has
| disappeared and apprehensions of Russian
coup lie main have been soothed by an arrange
ment now under negotiations, for establishing
line of demarcation between the two camps.
RUSSIANS CRowD1Na IN.
CoNsTANT1NoPLE, May 23.-The Russians
have again advanced their entire line slightly.
without, however violating the neutral zone.
Immense quantities of war material continue
to reach the Russian camp.
LONDON, May 24.-The Standard, discussing
the Salisbury-Schouvaloff interview, SAYS it is
in a position to state that the sanguine expec-
tations entertained of late, are, according to
present appearances, fairly justified. Nothing
is settled, but unless very untoward accidents
nnd the %,, congress 4gsg wi will meet meet
that the elements of an agreement have been
reached. The Gar has made many concessions.
Although many difficulties must be surmount-
ed, we are justified in saying that if the pres
ent temper of the Russian cabinet continues,
we may anticipate pacific arrangement
Count Schouvaloffs communication will be
laid before the cabinet to-day.
The Post publishes the following in semi
official form: Count Schouvaloff brings the
assurance that the disposition in St. Peters
burg for peace quite equals that in London.
He is also bearer of certain expressions of will
lingness to meet our views, and of a general
scheme of an arrangement for reconstruction.
LONDON, May 23.-It is authoritatively stated
| that Count Schouvaloff brings from the Gear
counter proposals couched in concilatory terms.
proposing that all questions pertaining to Euro
pean Turkey be submitted and treated by the
| proposed European congress, and that all qnes-
tions relating to Turkey in Asia be made the
| subject Of a separate convention between Eng
land and Russia.
Count Schouvaloff had an interview with
Lord Salisbury. foreign secretary.
CHIN MUSIC AT ST. PETERSBURG.
St. Petersburg correspondent says: AS We
are still far from the certainty of peace, though
the general conviction and sentiment is in
favor thereof, powerful military preparations
are being pushed forward theoretically. Even
| If war is avoided it is thought these will be
| useful as a make weight for Russian influence
at the congress. Gen. Todleben's activity and
his Importantly about fortresses must not
! therefore be regarded as indications of fail
ure of Count Schouvalofs mission.
PREPARING FOR THE WORST.
/ correspondent at Vienna telegraphs: 1t i,
true the result of Count Schouvaloff's efforts
will probably turn out to be that he has secured
a basis for further negotiations. Meantime til.
preparations before Constantinople continu,
energeticaliy. The Russians continue to ex
hibit a tendency to gradually creep up toward
the capital, keeping the Turks CONSTANT,
on the alert. Fresh reinforccments ar
constantly od Ee'ag to Baga5s , wb Ron
diers and shipping. Troops and guns an,
stores are going thence to Burgas on the Blac]
Sea, or by the Bender railway to Roumania an,
Bulgaria. The Turks are not idle. They hav
brought troops the Bospliorus from
Scutari until one hundred and thirty battalion
now man the northern lines. Heavy siege gun
have been moved from the Bosphorus batterie
into these lines, while the batteries on TIL
Asiatic side have heen strengthened SO as t
form, in conjunction with the feet a line 0
defense to which they mi ght retire in case O
need-though they are, more than ever
confident of their ability to hold their position.
osaIAN THE DEFENDER.
The Vakit and Bossoret, newspapers of Cor
stantinople, publish a letter from Osman Pasl,
denying that he said Constantinople was ne
susceptible Of defense against considerab]
Russian force, and declaring that he woul
never be party to the disgrace of retiring b,
fore an enemy much weakened by illness an
fatigue. The Vienna correspondent says TIL
letter expresses the feeling pervading the arm
at Constantinople.
THE PIpER's FEE
! The supplementary army estimate for e,
= pense of the Indian evolutionary force h;
been issued. The amount fixed is FL, $50, 90
The navy estimate for transportation of tt
Indian troops, was also issued to-day I'll
i amount is 91,OO0,000.
THE POSITION IN ARMENIA.
A dispatch from Trebizond states that Il
Russians at Erzeroum have received reinforc
: ments of 10000 men. Putrid fever is rava
> ing the garrison at that place. The insure
: ton in Lazistan against the Russians is sprea
. . ing. It is estimated that between 10000 al
= Is, 900 Lazis are under arms. They are pros
cutting guerilla warfare against the Russia
about Antivan and Batoum.
