Guesses from All Points,
HORRIBLE ArRoc,r1.
LONDON, April ia special from, Con-
stantinople announces that the Russian. have
occupied Shumla.
A dispatch from volo says the Circassians
and other irregulars under Assaf Pasha have
mastered between eight and nine hundred
persons, of all ages and sexes, at Palatiza.
A sensational correspondent at Pesth be-
ieves an understanding between Russia and
Austria has been re-established, Russia hay
ing consented to limit the occupation of
Bulgaria to one year, modify the western
frontier OF Bulgaria, curtail the extension Of

AMIcABIE.
LONDON, April l6.-A St. Petersburg cor.
respondent telegraphs there is said to have
been an amicabls semi-oficial Interchange
of views between the London and st. Peters
burg cabinets. The former declares ain.
cere desire for q peaceful solution, and dis
claims any wish to put unnecessary obstacles
in the way of negotiations, but adheres to
the desire to have the whole treaty placed
before the congress. The latter also adheres
to its previous attitude, and cites Prince
Gortschakof's reply to Lord Sails
bury as proof of the readiness to
discuss even the most important clauses in
! an unofficial conversation. Tie Russians
| still cling to the idea that England seeks to
humiliate them and tear up the treaty,
They will not allow the treaty to be Cancelled
although they are ready to make modifca-
| tons. A preliminary conference seems to
be the most promising issue out of tho diff.
Guilty.
| A Pera special says there was manifest I'M
easiness on Sunday end Monday lest the
Russians should attempt a coup de main
against Constantinop,e. The suspicion is
only traceable to the general discomfort of
the Russians at the prolonged uncertainty.
BERLIN, April Interpretations ere max
ing in Russia for the organization of gen.
eral levy. Passports will only be issued to
persons over is years of age.
| Vienna correspondent says according
! to Berlin advices, Germany will only at
tempt pacific Intervention when all is pro-
pared on both sides so as to insure certain
success. The first step in the direction of
mediation seems to have been
| the obtaining of some authority
to undertake the task, and all these
preliminary difficulties seem to be overcome.
Those III position to know seem to have
mnch more confidence in the meeting Of
the congress. The report that Count Itchy
is negotiating relative to the occupation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina has probably arisen
from the fact that he is negotiating for rep
aration of refugees.
| RESUME OF THE SITUATION.
LONDON, April 15.-The state of affairs
with reference to the Eastern question 70
mains substantially the same. There is no
change in the attitude of the powers. The
mooted point between England and kussia
IS still unsettled While this is the case the
prospect Of & congress, and peaceful ar
rangenent of the whole difficulty is as far of
as ever. There is strong feeling in both
countries that war is inevitable. At st.
Petersburg belief is stated 10 prevail that
England's willingness to continue negotia.
tons is rather for the purpose of isola-
ting Russia than arriving ut an under
standing. Some influential persons be-
Iieye that England will 60 to war alone,
hence the earnest efforts to conciliate, to
satisfy Austria. Some moderate men in Of
fetal circles have begun censuring the Rus
| sian generals, diplomatists and newspapers
for pushing the government into position
where the issue between Russian independ-
!. ent action and European control is unavoid-
5 able, but the majority of the public continue
to declare that the government has been too
conciliatory, and the press opposes any con-
cessions. Germany's efforts to bring about
an understanding continue, but the task Il
rendered delicate and difficult by the init
mate relations between Germany and Russia.
f Bismarck is reported to have said recently In &
: reply to suggestion that he should mediate
ave cannot offer counsel to Russia, fo1
u advice OH our part would almost look like
q menace" According to trustworthy infor.
q nation from Berlin the chances of success
: of the present pour 1ldrlers are still thought
a to be pretty evenly balanced. A preliminary
q meeting OF resident ambassadors at Berlin
}. it is thought, might find basis for meetin.
It of the congress, which Bismarck is unwilling
). to suggest, because advice to Russia from
# power so intimate and friendly as German,
" might be interpreted as first step toward
d abandoning the friendly attitude and event
,. ually taking part with her antagonists. But
= notwithstanding the difficulty and deicacy O
No his position Prince Bismarck recognizing tha
,e the chief danger lies in the menacing atti
re tude occupied by the two powers befor
Il Constantinople and in the struggle for inf1u
ence at the Porte, has undertaken the diff
cult task of finding formula by which Ems
land and Russia may establish the modus .,
q Ue1adi in this quarter by means of pledge
ut such as were previously exchanged betwee
~ England and Russia direct touching t,
- Dardanelles and GaIlipolis. It is thougi
~ that an arrangement on this point is eve
more difficult than the meeting of the co,
9 gress, but that unless arranged it's inauen,
: might neutralize the efforts of the congre
10 when assembled.
