The Finger of Bismarck Dis
cernible.
English Agents Watching Every Move
ment of the Russians.
WASHINGTON. MAY Ill.

0AN may =
The recent news from England and
Russia has made a decided impression
in diplomatic circles. IL is now gen
orally believed by the diplomatists that
the chances of peace have been greatly
increased by the negotiations of the
last fortnight. Russia has ~undouhted-
ly manifested a disposition to yield the
material points to England, while En-
gland is disposed TO coucede something.
The real of cause of Russia's present
pacific disposition is attributed to her
failure to get money. Had she been
able to negotiate another loan, she
would not have yielded to the de
mands of England. The finger OF
Bismarck was discernible in the refusal
of the German bankers to listen to
Russia's proposals to place her loan on
the market. The attitude of Austria,
of course, becomes somewhat more
menacing in proportion to the GOODNESS
of Germany towards Russia. The
game of Bismarck is not comprehend
ed, but the djplomatists are satisfied
that an understanding between him and
Russia is now possible.
1t is no secret here that English ma
val officers and secret agents of The
British government are swarmlng in
every locality where the presence of
Russian agents are suspected. There
have been quite a number of English
naval officers here during the past two
days; they came quietly and went west
aud south. There have been no Rus
sian naval officers here yet.

time his residence will be Washington.
The health of bis wife is bad, and her
physicians have recommended sea air;
therefore, the Baron will seek a quiet
place convenient either to New YORK or
Boston, preterring the former locality
for many reasons, though not political
ones.
The interests of Russia are always
ably and zealously represented at the
commercial metropolis by Consul Gen.
eral Bodisco, who is a son OF General
Bodisco, so long the representative OF

they were staggered by the immense
sums apparently owing by the several
Bureaus, reaching a total of more than

regulating Inter State commerce, and
