WAR NOTES.


A DISPATCH from Berlin says that Ger
many upholds the proposition of England
submitting all the terms of the treaty OF
peace to the congress, except the question
of pecuniary indemnity.
The London Times says: "The Russians
are making further advances towards the
Bosphorus. Our government must have sat
istied itself that the virtual command of
Constantinople gave Russia no insuperable
advantage, and we may therefore view with
comparative Indifference movements which
are in no way more alarming than those in
which we acquiesced."
BERLIN correspondent states that an
early meeting of the congress is no long;
er considered probable. Russia dis
plays no particular anxiety for it to meet
at all, in consequence of England's and
Austria's demands that the whole treaty be
submitted.
The Anglo-Austrian demand that the
whole of the Turko-Russo agreement shall
be submitted to the congress-, arises from
the belief that special and secret arrange
ments have been entered into independent
of the principal treaty.
ADIvCEs from Corfu reports that the
Turks have devastated eight Christian vii
lagos in the district of Delvino and massa-
cred the male inhabitants. They also killed
100 fugitives, women and children, on the
sea shore. The English consul has gone to
investigate the outrages
THE Grand Duke Nicholas visit to the
sultan has been postponed until after the
treaty of peace is ratified
A SPECIAL from Pera reports that Layard
has sent a formal note to the porte directing
its attention to the great loss of life immi-
nent among the 100000 starving refugees in
and around Shumla. The porte declared
itself powerless to help them.
THE Russian general, Krudener, who was
waiting to be tried by court martial for his
defeat at Plevna, was released from arrest
and appointed assistant commander of
Warsaw.
TRUSTWORTHY advices from India state
that the Mohammedans are greatly excited
about the overthrow of Turkey. Serious
trouble is apprehended unless the govern
ment takes some anti-Russian action short
ly. 1t is believed two hundred thousand
Moslem volunteers to serve against Russia
could be raised without difficulty.
ALL the homeward-5 English men-of-
war have been detained at Malta to
strengthen the feet in the eastern waters.
IT seems to be England's intention to in
slst that every point of the Russo-Turkjsh
treaty must receive the sanction of the
European powers, and, as Russia has an
neunced her readiness to submit to the con-
gress only such questions IS concern Europe
at large, it is likely that she will seriously
object to England's idea of supervising con-
ditions which interest only Russia and Tur.
