VIENNA, October 1.-Bratiano. Rouman-
ian Prime Minister, who has had IN inter
view with Emperor Francis Joseph and
Count Kalnosky, the Austrian Foreign
Minister, respecting the attitude OF Rou-
mania in the event of a war between Tur-
key and Bulgaria, has left this city to con-
fer with Prince Bismarck, after which he
will visit the Gar. His nilsson is for the
purpose OF having Roumania considered
inviolable and accorded rights similar to
those enjoyed by Belgium if hostilities
should break out. The opinion gains ground
that the trouble is extending and that un-
less the covers intervene wa is inevitable.
The Porte, as a precautionary measure to
prevent a reduction OF supplies in the event
of war with Bulgaria, has issued an order
prohibiting the expectation OF cereals.
BERLIN, October - The result OF the
recent interview between De Giers. Russian
Prime Minister, and Prince Bismarck will
be to restrain Servia, Greece and Monte
negro from attacking Turkey. Otherwise
the Austrians would, it is thought, certain
ly make a bold strike for Salonica and pos
siblv for Constantinople, causing a blaze in
Russia which would end in a European
war.
