The foregoing seems to show the
utter imposslbility of compromise
between England and Russia on
basis OF the San Stefano treaty.
Advices from Vienna represent that
the objections OF Austria are not less
fatal to the existence of the treaty than
England's.

be doubted whether this impression

Austrian views could hardly be more
antagonistic to the whole.
