plications in the Balkan troubles come
from the rival ambitions of Greece and
Servia. Tne latter power makes no
concealment of her intention to extend
her borders southwark if there is to be
general scramble for territory Or
another revision of the map Of the
peninsula. She has displayed fever
ish energy in war preparations, and
this has provoked the jealousy Of
Greece. 1t has also resulted in obliter-
ating the party lines that previously
existed in Greek politics, and uniting
the great body of the people in what is
known as the Forward party. The
tactics Of this party are well expressed
by its.motto. 1t believes in aggressive
action to obtain the restoration of
what once belonged to Greece, and
looks for the re-establishment of the
great Hellenic State. The leaders now
find themselves suddenly in the ascend
ant, and they are using all the powers
Of the Government to push forward
war preparations, and both military
and naval forces are being put on a
war footing as rapidly as possible. 1t
is evident Greece means to assert her
self, and she may prove to be one of
the most troublesome factors that the
powers will have to deal with in settling
the Balkan difficulties. In Constanti
nople the representatives Of the powers
are urging the Porte to reinforce its
frontiers on the north and west so as to
check incipient risings and prevent
them from developing into serious
warfare. The new Turkish Cabine,
officials are willing enough to strengthen
themselves almost powerless in the face
of large demands and very insufficient,
means. The greatest interest now at
taches to the attitude of Russia and
Austria in the present crisis 1t Is
stated that De Giers, the Russian
Foreign Minister, realizes that hostility
to Prince Alexander is a mistake, and
that he strongly but vainly urged the
Car to receive the Bulgarian repre-
sentatives who recently sought audience
at Fredericksburg. Many extraordinary
rumors are received from Vienna as tc
the position of Austria, and there is a
report of the revival Of serious dissen
sions in the Austrian Cabinet, and
there is good reason for believing the
report to be true.
The HeyaiFs London special says
In summing up Bulgarian matters, the
Times concludes thus: The situation in
fact is electric, and a single spark may
precipitate an explosion.
RUSSIANS CROSSING THE DANUBE.
LONDON, Oct. "A dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph, says that 5000 Rus.
SLAMS have crossed the Danube into
Bulgaria and reached Roumania by
special trains in the night.
M. De Giers demands that the
powers assent to armed intervention by
Russia if the Servians enter Macedonia.
The Porte is hurrying troops from
the maritime provinces of Asia to
Salonica 1000 men left Smyrna to-
day. The Porte has obtained an ad-
vance of 5r,ooo,ooo from Galatea
bankers.
Gabriel Pasha has been liberated and
has left Sofia for Constantinople. Part
Of the Widden garrison has been sent
to Sofia. This is regarded as proof OF
improved relations between Bulgaria
and Servia. A number of German off
GERS on the retired list are offering their
services to Prince Alexander.
sERvIA WANTS TO EXTEND HER DoMIN-
IONS.
NIssA, Oct. 2.-The meeting of the
Skuptchina yesterday has resulted in
Servia demanding an extention of ter
ritory. The populace are clamoring
for the annexation of Macedonia. 1T IS
probable, owing to the large army which
Servia has in the field, that she will
speedily seize the contiguous territory,
thus making more difficult a solution
of the Balkan territory question.
The Skuptchina has held several
secret sittings. The Government op-
poses the project of the Deputies to
proclaim King Milan as King of Mace
donia. Cavalry to the number of TO-
900 are being raised from the Landwehr
for frontier duty.
Everything is ready for the entrance
Of the King of Seryia into old Servia on
the 9Th inst.
The Meeting of0e Diplomats.
CoNsTANTINoPLE Oct. 2.-The first
formal meeting of the Ambassadors to

be held on Monday next, when Said

Affairs, arrives from Berlin, where he
has, until the recent change of minis
try, been Turkish Ambassador.
Great activity prevails to-day in all
the various bureaus of the War Office
Troops are rapidly arriving here and
as quickly dispatched to Tripoli, Salon
ica and Dedagatch. Marshall Fouad
Pasha has started for Adrianople
The Sultan is receiving counsel from
Prince Bismarck respecting the Rou-
melian question, and it is probable he
will adopt a policy in harmony with
the German Chancellor's suggestions.
