PREPARING FOR THE WORST
A Constantinople dispatch of the 18th
inst, says the porte is removing vain.
able arms and munitions to Sentari and
considering question of transferring tho
government there so as to avoid beno
forced into alliance by one of belligers'
ents occupying Constantinope in tn The
event of war.
THE SITUATION.
St. Petersburg advices of the 18th say
the opinion regarding Gortschakof';.
circular is much divided. Some con.
slider it complete political programme
and worthy of the great power; othen
regard it a formal refutation Of Lord
Salisbury's accusations. Some think It
is Russia's last words; others the intro.
duction to negotiations on new grounds
1t has greatly displeased those who wish
the government to nail her colors; o
the mast and risk all rather than make
| the slightest concessions.
The opinion at Berlin continues
skeptical about the success of nepotia.
tons. The Nord De,,tsche Zeitung refer
ring to Germany's mediation, said the
joint appeal of England and Russia for
the good offices of Germany could have
a meaning only if the parties were will
ing to make sucn concessions as would
put out of the question the possibility
of either party cha llenging the other.
Bratianic, Roumanian premier, re-
turned to Vienna Thursday on his way
to Bucharest. He had an interveview
with Count Andrassay and Herr Tisu.
The tidings he brings from Berlin are en-.
couraging. The conviction there is
that the car is bent on having Bessar.
abba back, aud that he will take it, and
that the best thing the Roumanians can
do is to make the best possible terms
about the compensation they are to re
ceive.
The situation at Constantinople is
still regarded dangerous to peace. Not.
withstanding the protestations Of the
porte, there are intrigues going on
among the pashas, and the discreion
of the Russian commander, and Of
Layard are doubted. Mchmet Ali
and Moukhtar, Osman, Reouf, andSH
Pashas and other Turkish generals
dined with Lavard yesterday.
The Greeks, .Bulgarians, RoumsniSs
and Thracians are quarreling about
the possession Of the Greek churche
and are appealing to Russia and
Turkey for support. The atmosphere
of Constantinople it is believed. is be-
coming more inflamable.
