LONDON, March 10.-A dispatch from
New York in this mornings Standard says
that the reports of an impending European
war telegraphed hence are affecting the
American markets. There is nothing known
here to justify such q report. General
skobeleffs speech caused uneasi-
ness by directing attention to the
points of difference existing between
the Austrian and Russian policies,
and this has given occasion for various
somewhat sensational kilograms from Con
tinental capitals and from the E4sr, such,
for example, as the report in the Times yes
terday concerning the spprehensiOns of war
felt by the Palace party at Constanhnope.
But there is no new fact de-
veloped since the speech of Skobeleff
pointing to disturbance. On the contrary,
there are signs of subsidence of the tension to
which the speech gave rise. One of these
is the impending appointment OF an Aus
trian ambassador in place of Count Kslrow-
sky at st. Petersburg, and aLother, the an
nouncement that the Russian Grand Duke
Vladimir will shortly pass through Vienna,
coupled with a semi-C fficial denial by Aus
tria that he is intrusted with any mission.
because, considering the unclOuded rela-
ttons between Austria and Russia, no such
is required. The prompt and cordial recog-
milton Of the Servlan kingdom by Austria is
considered to show that the Austrians have
satisfactory assurances that King Milan Is
not inclined to favor Panslavlst iutrigues.
The principal danger of complications be-
tween Russia and Austria, as explained in
recent letter from Moscow, would arise
from Austria's becoming embroiled with
Montenegro and Servla. The possibility
OF such an embodiment is becoming
lees, as, Notwithstanding the conflicting
accounts, the Austrians appear to be
getting the better Of the insurrection by
system OF combined movements. The TAX
ing OF Ubli is one of these, by means of
which troops starting respectively from
Csstu Muero and Cattsro are hemming in
the Crivosicians-cutting them.off on one
side from the MOntenegran frontier and on
the other from Herzegovina
A Berlin dispatch to the Standard says:
General Skobeleff has delivered an address
to a number of Russian Gfficers, stating that
the best Russian is the Gar. Europe
knows, he says, what he thinks on the Slav
question. His recall was only on the new
humiliation proceeding from the man who
with blood and IRON had founded an en-
pire which must be destroyed byRussian
blood and iron."
A dispatch to Reuters Telegram Com
pauy frcm Berlin states that, according to
the intelligence from st. Petersburg, the
Gar on receiving General Skobeleff said:
81 am displeased with you. You, doubtless,
wished to glorlfY Russia. Look at the
results obtained. Before your speech
Russia enjoyed a certain authority in
Europe. Now you see her for
saken. Austria Is trritated and France
is distant. Gladstone has his hands
tied, and the Russo-Phobist English party
triumphs at finding foundation on which
to base its invectives against what It regards
as bellicose disposition and grasping ten
