LOSpoN. February 1.-THE Vienna cor
respondent Of the Times says: ssThe ex'
citement hereis daily increasing at the turn
Eastern affairs are taking, and the exclte
ment in Hungary is even greater"
The Government organ maintains tnal
Russia has broken her word, and Austro'
Hungary will be compelled to march to wal
with England in order to force Russia to be
faithful to her promise and return TO hel
former programme.
Is The DuiIu Ne,cs's Vienna dispatch says:
..While the Hungarian papers are Warlike,
the Austrian independent press demands
peace"
- The following appeared in Count Andras.
sy's organ, the Pesther Lloyd, this morning
tsThe non-occupation Of Constantinople is
the foremost and most weighty interest OF
Europe. and II Russia understands by re.
curing her freedom Of action that she has
the right to hoist the Cars flag OF victory
in the Bosphorus, then it is tine for the
Powers to abandon their different catego.
ries OF neutrality, and an end must be put to
the policy Of accomplished fact. The occu-
patton OF Bulgaria and the exaggerated ex-
tension it is proposed to give that province
! will never be tolerated by Austria. Action,
and energetic action alone, can now save
s Europe"
The Ifmes's leading editorial article says
s.Russia has incurred grave and needless
responsibility, and she will have to give
guarantees to Austria, as well as to Eng
land, that she will quit Constantinople, il
she should fulfil her rash inteAtion To occu-
py it with troops"
LONDON, February 1.-THE Paris CORE
spondent Of the Times telegraphs: Z 1t is
believed in competent quarters that matters
will he arranged peacefully. A letter from
st. Petersburg afiirms that the Russians on
entering Constantinople will promise to re-
sumo their present positions on the assem-.
: bling OF the Conference. 1t is known that
Germany, within the last few days, has
urged moderation on Austria"
