A rumor comes from Vienna that
Marshal Count Won Moltke, the well
known German strategist, who Is now
visiting Copenhagen, is commissioner

German Gazette of Saturday, that ii
would not conceal the opinion that the
dispatch of the British fleet to the
Baltic, where many neutral interests
might be affected, would render the
situation UNNECESSARILY more compli
Gated.
