EUROPEAN EVENTS.
MUST SHOW HER HAND.

BERLIN, April 27.-The North German
Gasette says the action of diplomacy centres
in the answer of England to Italy's inquiry
as to the English programme. At the out
break of the war England honorably laid
down her interests as a guide and measure
OF her attitude. Since the conclusion of
peace she has been exclusively paradinp in
the clothing of so-called European interests.
NO one knows how these interests are to be
described. Her programme, the color of
which England must sooner or later make
known, and which has already assumed very
serious aspects from the language of differ
ent English ministers, will ultimately be de-
cisiye of tie Eastern crisis.
ENGLAND WILL NOT YIELD.
LONDON, April 27.-The Times comments
on dispatch from its St. Petersburg CORES
pendent, in which it is stated that one issue
out of the present complications consists in
undolng much of Russia's work. and giving
the rest Europeon, instead of specifically
Russian, character; that another consists in
what is called the principle of equivalents,
or compensation to the powers, for Rus
slas acquisition, and that the other is the
one which Russia desires, while Great Brit
ian comes resolved to insist upon the former.
The article says: 1t is the partition of
Turkey that Russia desires now. It was
partition she desired at the time of the
Crimean war. Against such policy we con-
tended then and are contending now. Re-
ferrlng to the Italian propositions that
England state her views, the Times saws: It
would be futile, and inconsistent with
her position, to prepare any scheme
until the main principle of Euro
pean control has been conceded, without
which no scheme could acquire validity or
sanction.
POSSIBLE DANGER.
BERLIN, April 27.-The north German
Gazette says: "We will not conceal our
opinion that the dispatch of British feet
to the Baltic, where many neutral interests
might be affected, would make the situation
immeasurably more complicated"
GERMAN DIPLOMACY SUCCESSFUL.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 27.-The navigation
of the Neva is reopened.
that German mediation is broken off are
false. 1t has attained its object by smooth
ing the way for an exchange of views be-
tween the cabinets, which exchange is now
proceeding.
