THE PRELIMINARY DETAILS ONLY SETTLED
Tomorrow the plenipotentiaries will
enter upon the details of the
several points of the treaty which
were agreed to, taking up first
he payment Of guarantees for
payment of indemnity. Intelligence
comes from San Stefano that Gen. Ig-
natief and special Turkish ambassa-
dor were to leave for st. Petersburg i'm
Enediately after the signing Of prelimin-
aries Of peace. 1t is thought that the
special ambassador will convey the
sultan's desire for restoration of dip
Iomatic relations, or be charged to con
duct negotiations for drafting definitive
treaty, the preliminaries only having
so far been signed. =.
f. THE PRINCIPAL CONSIDERATIONS
of the preliminaries of the treaty just
signed, are the cessation of Batoum,
Kars, Arabian and the District of Bay
aid. The question of straits is re-
served for future consideration. The
question of navigation remains in
stct,t quo. A zone will be left between
Montenegro and Servia SO us to
enable the porte to maintain
a communication with Bosnia and
Herzegovina. 1t is confirmed that
Bulgaria will include Bourgas, Varna
and kustendie but not SalOnici or
Adrianople. Russia is to have the
power to cede the Dabrudscha to Rou-
mania in exchange for Roumania or
Bessarbia. The Beuchek, the Russian
official organ, confirms these conditions
and those mentioned by Lord Derby
in the house oflords this afternoon.
PUBLICATION OF THE TREATY.
A st. Petersburg correspondent tele-
graphs under date of March 9Th that
the treaty will probably not be published
until the text is received by courier,
week or ten days hence.
GERMANY'S ADVICE TO ENGLAND.
A Paris correspondent says it is as
serted that Germany is trying to ad-
wise England to occupy Egypt, and thus
protect her interests in a way which
could not cause q conflict with Russia
THE LIBERAL TERMS.
The Age'aee Russo says some days must
elapse before the treaty can reach St.
Petersburg and authentic conditions be
published. The Agence declares that
these will show that the indemnity has
been reduced to almost nothing, and
that the question Of guarantee has not
been touched.
NICK's CONGRATULATIONS.
Grand Duke Nicholas sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to the Emperor:
SAN STEFANO, March t.
/ do myself the honor of congratu-
lating your majesty, upon the conclu-
sion of peace. God has vouchsafed to
us the happiness of accomplishing the
holy work begun by your majesty and
on the anniversary of the imprisOn-
ment of the Serfs. Your majesty has
delivered the christians from the Mus
sulman's yoke.
EXCITED AUSTRIA
Specials from Vienna under date of
March 4th assert that two divisions of
Austrian soldiers will enter Bosnia with
in a week. The communication which
SO treasured Austria last week was to
the effect that Russia admitted that the
peace conditions had been aggravated
at the headquarters of the Grand Duke
Nicholas, but she promised notable
modification at conference Austria
will not occupy Bosnia and Herzegovi-
na If the conditions are abandoned by
which those provinces are cut off from
communication with the rest of Iur-
key. Even if the conditions are main
tanned, Austria would only resort to an
nexation at the suggestion of the pow
ers at the conference %

signed. No official PRONUNCIATION of

is excellent authority for stating that
there are no clauses regarding the sur

THE VOTE OF CREDIT.
Count Andrassy has determined to
persist with the vote of credit, although
assured by the spokesman of the Aus
TRAN delegation that it would only pass
by small majority. The opponents
Of the vote of credit seem disposed to
appeal to the reichstag if defeated in
the delegation, but as the question can.
