ceiving General Skobelof, SAID IL am dis
pleased with yon. Yon doubtless wished to
alorify Russia. Look at The results obtained.

authority in Europe. Now you rec her lorsaken,
Austria iTritated, and France distant. Glad
stone has his hands tied. and the Russophobists
in England triumph at finding a foundation on
which to base their in~vectives against what thew
regard as the bellicose disposition and grasping
tendencies Of Russia.
London, March, IA Berlin telegram re-
ports that the Gar also SAD: Even Turkey
has raised her head and refuses to sign the Con-
vention for the payment Of war expenses, because
she hopes a war will break out between Russia
and Germany and Austria. You desired to be
useful to the Slavs, but having Irritated Germany,
you have destroyed even that neutrality which
alone was possible under the present circum-
stances. Germany az a neutral power in the
Sclav question, is not in the Eastern question
and was thinking Of proposing to act as a medi-
ator. She now firmly refuses to aid the Sclavs in
the Peninsular. Thus, thanks to you, RuEs
feels herself derided, hoOted at and. compE9rs1Nn%I
isolated in Europe" NsN

declared that he had no intention of becoming 4
