Russia ana Turkey.

The latest news from Russia indicates
that Russia has abated somewhat from the
severe terms first announced as the con-
ditious of peace, and that she has finally
arranged a treaty of peace with Turkey
which will afford little or no tangible
grounds for either Austrian or English in
PREVENTION. Russia has compromised on
the demand for the iron clads and on the
boundaries of Bulgaria. Some doubt may
be entertained of the report that the Rus
slams are to occupy Constantinople. Rus
sia's views as to the necessity for those
stipulatons of the treaty of peace that re-
late to the government of Bulgaria seem
to be clearly set forth in Communication
lately published in the Vienna Political
Correspondence, the outline of which has
been given in our dispatches. Occupa
ton for two years is defended on the
ground Of the need of the presence of a
force that can preserve order in q country
passing from under the hand of re-
pressive tyranny that has governed it for
many centuries, land whose people would
in all probability use q new found freedom
in extravagant ways before a government
OF their own could become effective in its
operations. But the occupation may, it is
held, be prevented from assuming the
character of a conquest, The designa-
ton of nearly all Bulgaria and Roumelia
as a single province under the name Of
Bulgaria is defended on the ground Of
simplicity in administration. As Moldavia
and Wallachia, classed as separate prln-
cipalites and treated separately 10 the
Declaration of Four Points" soon be-
came a single state by the unity of COM
mon destiny and by the ethnic relation of
the people. so it is thought it would be
futile to endeavor to make two divisions of
tue country that is practically Bulgaria in
virtue OF the fact that il is inhabited bv
Bulgarians, Russia, it is pointed out ip
this statement, would have no objection to
the occupation of Bosnia aud Herzegovina
by Austria. But Russia is not satisfied
with the demand for six million forms by
the Austrian government-from which it
is to be supposed that the Russians, unlike
the HuDgarians, do not believe this money
is to be spent merely in the occupation to
which Russia consents.

Cuba.

The surrender of the larger portion OF
the Cuban Insurgents virtually ends the
patriot cause for the present. 1t Is not
improbable that more or less OF guerrilla
warfare may be carried on in the noun
tain Businesses and districts remote from
the power and presence of troops, but such
hostilities are of little avail even to keep
alive the spirit of freedom, and generally
degenerating as they do into mere lawless-
ness, neither profit the parties engaged nor
secure the sympathy of the outside world.
In fact it is now reasonably certain that
the Patriot cause has failed, and with it
the future does not seem hopeful for any
other course than to conciliate the mother
country by submission and hope for a
more liberal administration in concessions
to this obedience and good citizenship.
