with the approval of Austria, Russia and
England, has proposed as a plan for the
settlement OF the Bulgarian question that
the following principles be observed:
First-That the Greek and Servian de-
mands be rejected.
Second-That Turkey be advised to COM
plete her military preparations SO as to
be ready to interfere in the event of Greece
or Scrvia moving to enforce their demands.
L~astly-That the union Of Bulgaria and
Roumelia, under Prince Alexander, the lat
ter a~vowins the sovereignty OF the Sultan,
be recognized.
GLADsTONE's f
BRUSSELS, October 12.-Gladstone has
written to Laveleye, a well known writer
on political economy, as follows: II favor
a Bulgarian union, but trust it's territory
will not exceed it's present limit, because |
fear a disastrous competition between the
great powers themselves, and also the
Hellenic and Slavonic for an extension of
territory. | express myself on the ques-
ton with reserve because my mind is per-
picked by the many difficulties surrounding
it. l see that the Bulgarian union, ex-
cellent in itself, may produce unreasonable
evils"
GREECE o WAR.
ATHENS, October Recommendations in
favor OF wal are being held throughout
Greece. The army is being rapidly mobi-
lied, and the king has called ont reserves
to the extent OF 10000 men.
WAR FEVER IN sERvlA
BELGRADE, October II. The war fever
runs high in Servia, and active preparations
are going on to enforce Servia's demand for
an extension OF territory. English, French
and Austrian firms have been rendered
contracts by government to supply CON
plete outfits for $4,000 troops, and all
contracts have been allotted; also one for
35. 900 horses. The Lander bank war loan
has been raised to 81, 900, 600.
THE DEMAN AN INQUIRY.
CoNsrANTINoPLE, October 1.-THE Porte
has sent another circular to the Powers re.
questing a decision into the Roumelian diff
Guilty. The Government in the meantime
continues extensive military preparations
and is well Supplied with money from tithes,
although it is trying to arrange a loan.
The Ottaman Bank offers to loan $780,
900, but the Porte asks more. Bulgarian
| peasants at Haskeni, Eastern Roumelia,
have revolted against military duty, and
I have asked to be allowed to return to their
homes.
MUST FIG lit ALONE.
LONDON, October 1.-THE Vienna FrcM1.
den BIatt, an organ OF the Austrian
Government, warns Servia and Greece that
if they commence War on their own account
they must expect no assistance from the
| Powers. 1t is believed that the warning is
due to a hint from Prince Bismarck. who
| insists upon the preservation OF the Berlin
treaty.
THE DIPLOMATS FAIL.
The impression is increasing in the
European Capitals that diplomacy has
failed to arrange the Roumelian difficulty
owing to the warlike attitude OF Servia and
| Greece, both intending to fight against
Bulgarian dominance, unless the statn quo
be restored.

failure.
