tute for the treaty of San Stefsno. Should the
Powers find 4 compromise, Russia would willing
ly participate IN discussion aud modify the treaty.
such solutions should not, however, nuliiy results
secured by Russian blood but should take into &C
count her sacrifices.
VIENNA, April II. Gortschakoff's speech gives
the Impression that Russia Is willing to Fl nd an ac-
cePtable method for re opening negotiations. This
moderate spirit Is believed to be in u great meas
ure due TO the altered tone of comments of the
German, French and Italian Press. concerning the /.
Treaty OF san Steiano, which points to the proba-
bity OF Russia instead OF England being isolated
in case OF affairs taking the other extreme. The
Austrian Cabinet still firmly adheies 10 the idea
of Congress the only possible solution, and is (
pleased at the improved aspect of affairs.
BUCHAREST, April II. Numerous detachments
of Russians have lately arrived in tbs neighbor-
hood.
CoNsTANTINOPLE, April II. The Porte has is
sued circular to ITS representatives abroad. Ii

the revenue sustained by Turkey in the late war,
and expresses determination to carry out LOYALTY
the terms Of the treaty. but declares that the Porte
would nevertheless regard as opportune any mod
hcations which might DO made by the bene VIOLENT
intention If the Powers and the moderation of
Russia. The circular concludes by stating that
whsever may be the issue of the present negotia-
ton the Porte pledges itself to carry out the pro-
jected reform.
