Every Day Brings War Nearer-Causes of
the Revolt.
LONDON, Oct n.-Nothing new from the
Balkans, except that every days delay brings
war nearer. The Times has q very alarmist
leader on this subject this morning. The Ser
Wan Premier, Garashann. said yesterday to its
correspondent: If driven to despair, the Ser
vians will be the volcano that shakes more than
one empire. We can permit no preponderance
in the Balkans peninsula" London papers are
dispatching special correspondents to Roumelia.
The Times has one already there. Williamson
is on the road for the Chronicle, but so many of
the best correspondents were killed in Soudan
that the editors are finding it difficult to procure
the right kind of men. The Political Economist
is asserting that the powers have nothing what
ever to do with the rising. which is entirely due
to the Bulgarian people themselves. Roumelia
was overburdened with taxation. overrun
by a multitude of useless officials, and through
foreign diplomatic intrigue, it had to borrow
from the Ottoman Bank the annual tribute to
the Sultan. Therefore no remedy was left but
revolution. In the opinion of the best-informed
financial men here there will be no conflict until
the death of the German Emperor. At his de-
sire, the greatest efforts will be made to preserve
peace elsewhere. When he dies, which may pe
at any time there will be great panic in
foreign stocks, a race between Austria and Rus
sia to reach the sea. and Turkey will collapse
like preached bladder. The result of the
French elections now certainly portends stronger
government than BEFORE and more radical The
repulse was the best thing that could happen to
the Republicans. The Radicals will be the chief
group in the Chamber, while a strong mon

severe lesson just received.
The Porte is Fastening to send reinforcements
to Vessel Pasha, who is in a most uncomforta-
BILE position. He has been surrounded by AL
barians at Djakava, and IN the battle which
ensued he met with serious disaster. losing
twenty guns in the assault by the Alhanians
and sacrificing 5000 men in his attempt to repel
the assailants. So perilous has his position be-
come that his surrender to the Albanans is i'm
minent, unless he is speedily relieved To ac-
complish this will require large force, and the
Sultan is exerting himself to the utmost to pro-
vide it.
Advices from Scutari indicate that the rising
of the provinces against the dominion OF Turkey
is becoming general, and will spread rapidly to
. a universal revolution unless means are at once
resorted to to quell the several rebellons before
they can unite in one great movement The
Catholic tribes are preparing to take part in the
revolution, and only the Intervention Of Austria
can prevent them throwing themselves into it
along with the other tribes.

powers, requesting decision in fegard to the
Roumelian difficulty. The government mean
while continues extensive military preparations
and is well supplied with money from tithes,
although trying to arrange loan. The Ottoman
Bank offers to loan ESQ, 600. but the Porte asks
more.
Belgian peasants at Haskeni. in Eastern
Roumelia, have voted against military duty and
have asked to be allowed to return to their
homes.
The Vienna Fremdenblatt an organ of the
Austrian government, warns Servia and Greece
that if they commence a war on their own ac
count 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 impression is increasing in the European
capitals that diplomacy has failed to arrange the
Roumeian difficulty, owing to the warlike atti-
tude of Servia and Greece both intending to
fight against Bulgarian dominancy unless the
status quo be restored.
The Cologne Gazette's Vienna correspondent
says that if Greece disregards the advice of the
powers, an Austrian squadron will appear at
the Pirseus to remind her of her international
duties.
