most eminent generals OF the army, like Todleben.

aud it's main object to find new mode of mobn-
ization which should be more efficient and quicker
than the present one has found to be in prac-
tice. Certain reforms in the army organization
were decided upon. such the abolition OF
the volunteers. the increase of the cadres Tor
an army of reserve OF 100000 men, the in
crease OF the field artillery by thirtythree batteries
and various improvements in the tnenddnce tram
and sanitary service. According to another version
it was the political than the military situation
which occupied the attention OF the council, and,
above ALL policy to be followed in the East. The
presence Lobanotf, Kaufman and others who have
taken prominent part in Eastern affairs lends great
probability to this suppostion. AS usual. after
these Journeys Lobanof to Livadia the shadow of
alliance shows itself again; but this,

nessthan it ever did before. The Vienna Tagbiatt

councillors at Livadia First, eventual rapproche
meat with Greece, in order to win the Greek
element in Eastern Roumelia to the union of that
province with bulgaria. second, improvement OF

that the Greek government organs have for some
little time past been loud III their praises or Russlas
