by England touching the Congress and the final
understanding reached during last weeks negotia-
tons.
rs AUSTRIA DIssATIsPIEDs
No doubt Is EXPIRE ssed In any quarter about the
assembling OF the Congress. The only unpleasant
feature OF yesterdays news is in the direction OF
Austria, tor although Count Andrassy had been all
along persistently IN favor OF European scttle-
ment In Congress his utterances now and the Aus
trian preparations are creating uneasiness.
WHAT ~ THE CONGRESS FAiLss
Then, again, the Congress might fail, when
Austria must be prepared to look the facts In the
face.
CONCENTRATING on THE FRONTIER.
is to the actual employment OF the sixty millions
credit already voted Count Andrassys explanation
was extremely meagre, but from other sources 1t
is gathered that the Fourth Army corps is concen-
trating In Gaiicia, Eastern Transylvania and Dali
malta
PREPARING FOR ALL EMERGENCIES
Iron-clad squadrons have been ordered to the
coasts OF Albania and Macedonia. The military
occupation or the line OF the Orsova Railway is In
progress, and the occupation and fertilization OF
the Carpathian passes are accomplished facts.
Great activity prevails on the Dalmatian frontier
LOOKING TOWARD HERZEGOVINA.
General Rodich has gone to Macarsca to inspect
strategical points on the road leading into Herze
govina.
DISTRUsrPUL or ENGLAND
Count Andrassy undoubtedly regards the sep
arate Anglo-R Russian negotiations with uneasiness.
The semi-oilcial newspapers OF Vienna throw out
sarcastic hints that the Congress will have no work
except to pass upon Austria's interests
RUSSIAN RErICENcE.
The Russian seml-0Ifical press h as not heretofore
taken notice OF Austria's uneasiness except that
the Agence Russe and the Journal de 81 Petersburg
stated that the Powers had agreed to the occupa-
ton OF Adakaleh and that no inference might be
drawn from this TACT In the direction OF the Aus
TRAN occupation OF Bosnia which Is regarded as
srong hint that Russia would not sanction the lat
ter measure.
AUSTRIA SHARPLY CRITICISED.
The Berlin journals, however are full OF sarcastic
criticism OF Austria's position. They say that the
occupation OF Adakaleh is all that Austria could do
to remind Russia OF her claims, while the Russo
English agreement was perfectiDg Tor the protec-
ton OF Russian and English interests Austria,
therefore, seems unable longer 10 enectualiy take
care OF her own and German interests in the East.
BIsMARcK's ORGAN FRIENDLY
The semiofllciai North German Gazette does not
adopt this tone. On the contrary 1t advocates the
formation OF Independent principalitles out Of
Turkeys European provinces under q direct Aus
TRAN protcctorate The relations OF the North
German Gazette with Prince Bismarck causes
attention to be drawn to this suggestion
ArsTRIA's POSITION DEFINED.
Count Andrassy, recapituiating to the Austrian
Delegation yesterday the points Of the treaty
which had been brought to the notice
OF Russia and the Powers as chicny affect
ing Austrian interests, said, as regarded
the extension or Bulgaria. the development OF
the Christian people in the East not preudicla
to Austria or Europe, but the establishment Of q
State destitute Of the conditions OF peaceful ex.
istencc, and which might Cypress other nation
alities, was quite another thing
WHAT AUSTRIA OPPOSES.
Turkey should be preserved in what remained to
her after the settlement. The two years' occupa-
ton OF Bulgaria was too long, and the extension
OF Servia and Montenegro should be arranged
as not to interfere with Austria's natural commu.
nicatons with the East.
THE THIN END OF THE WEDGE.
The Times continues to dwell on the necessity OF
British protectorate for Turkey in Asia.
BRITISH INTERESTS REQUIRE II.
!. The Pau MAJ Gazette, In It's leading editorial on
Tuesday, took the same ground, and argued that
such o protect0ratc was absolutely necessary In
the interest Of future peace. The Gazette has
hitherto rejected every suggestion OF infringement
on Turkish independence.
TURKISH CABINET CHANGES
II was reported in onstantinoplc Yesterday,
simultaneously with the changes IN the govern.
ment already announced, that Redif Pacha, former
Minister Of War and q confederate OF Mahmoud
Damad will succeed Fuad Pacha, and that Osman
and Mukntar rnchas have been appointed to com.
mands In Asia.
A REACTIoNARy STEP
The superseding or Sadyk Pacba, chief OF the
Ministry by Rushdi Pacha, and the designation OF
the latter as Grand vizier, il distinctly a re-
dictionary step. Rushdi, however, Is an advocate
OF peace.
