ST. PETERSBURG, April 30.-A cor
respondent of the Nord Degtsche Aut
'cegmaiae Zeitun9, writing about the
Russian demand for Bessarabia, says:
Let no one deceive himself as to
what is coming. The desire to re-
cover Bessarabis is only q symptom of
a wish perVading the entire Russian
nation to destroy the Paris treaty."
The Times, in a leading editorial,
says, regarding this: Russia appears
to be ready to make numerous conces-
sious, provided she can substitute for
the common European interest in Tur-
key set of isolated and conflicting
interests, and can thus emancipate her
self, no less than Turkey, from direct
obligations towards Europe. 1t is this
despotIsm against which we must per-
sistently protest, and If Russia really
seeks peaceful issue to the present
complications, che must recognize the
principles she has acknowledged on
former occasions. Let her only do
that, and concessions even less than
those she offers might in some respects
satisfy this country"

gence received here from what is con-
sidered a trustworthy source states
that the italian government are max
ing warlike preparations on a some
what large scale. The object, it is
said, is to dispatch force into Alba
MIA. This is similar to the report in
the Berlin dispatch to this mornings
Standard, that italy has decided to
make a descent on the Albania coast.
