ANOTHER BoMBsHELL FROM GLADSTONE.
Mr.. Gladstone contributes another article to
the Nineteenth Century, the principal point
OF which Is that since the government

not remain the shadow OF plea for separate war
by England or separate operations In the Levant
tending to war.

has offered some better compensation than the
Dobrudscha for BessarabIa.
