BERLIN, April 5.-Thc Worth German Gazette
rays although the treaty does not affect Ger
manv's interests, the entrance of Russia into
antagonism with other neighbors and friends
of Germany cannot be a matter of Indifference
to her. The negotiators Of the treaty seem not
to have kept the interests Of other powers
sufficiently in mind. Russia could only
purchase complete fulfilment of the treaty by
another war. The Principal obstacle to set
Element is Russia's having bound herself by
the terms of the treaty. Both England and
Austria admit that great changes necessary
in the East. 1t is, therefore ITO be hoped that
in view of the agreement of Russia Austria
and England, on this main point the common
desire for peace, may ultimately gain the
upper hand.

LONDON. April 6.-The Post publishes the
following in semi-official form: ''There is no
doubt that our government, while determined
to vindicate every line of Lord Salsbury's dis
patch, is not unwilling to take into considera-
tion the views suggested by the Viennese states
man to-day. The prospect is more peaceful
but the government should guard against
surprise at Constantinople, and Layard ought
to be empowered to assure the Porte of Eng
lands support against any sudden advance of
the Russians"
The Standard publishes the following in
similar form: ''We understand that the pres

st. Petersburg dispatch dated yesterday
evening, says Lord Salisbury's circular was
communicated to Prince Gortschakotf this
morning. 1t is said in official circles many of
the British objections, mightahave been re-
moved in a congress but the door
is closed against concession. 1t is difficult
therefore, to imagine any pacific solution. The
most plausible proposal, perhaps, is that the
congress should be called to consider the
notifications necessary in the treaties of 1856
and 1871. Little faith, however, is placed in
such ingenious proposals. The majority of
the official world and of the public regard war
as inevitable, and show no disposition to
shrink from the grave consequences of the
long struggle which they pretty clearly fore
see.

but will probably the communications of
England and Austria as means of commenc-
strenuously endeavoring to strengthen
both her political and military situation

Turks have already concluded an alliance, the
execution of which is merely delayed so as not
to cause premature outbreak of war Those
having access to the Sultan say, however, that
he is much depressed and still hopes to escape
the necessity of deciding between Russia and
England.

RUSSIA AND ROUMANIA.
LONDON, April 5.-If the attitude of the Rou
rnanian government is real, not feigned, it i
difficult to see how rupture can be avoided
when Russia proceeds to enforce the treaty O
San Stefano and collision between Russia
