New York, April 19.-mhs Herald's
St. Petersburg correspondent has inter>
viewed Igratieff. The latter said En-
gland continues to show her teeth.
Austria has almost appeased England,
wishes to act only by diplomacy and
refuses to declare openly with regard to
the other powers. Italy's interests de-
mand rict neutrality. Franco has
tendency toward England. but the mar

want to remain quiet and keep on good
terms with Russia. To sum up. the
chances of an understanding are increas-
ing gradually but slowly. We must wait
some time for solutlan. The congress
will perhaps be replaced By arbitration
with England. but nothing positive can
be said on that point yet.
