THE EASTERN TROUBLE.

suited in something like a farce.
On the l4th inst. the Ambassadors
sent their respective dragomans to
inform the Porte that they had
agreed to condemn the violation of
the Berlin Treaty by the union of
Roumelia and Bulgaria, and that
they approved the pacific attitude
of the Porte. Further news was
awaited, at latest accounts, with
considerable anxiety in London.
The collective note sent to the
Porte by the conference urged the
Sultan to recognize the union of
Roumelia and Bulgaria, and oppos-
ing any further violation of the Ber-
lin treaty.
PROPOSAL BY GERMANY.
Germany, with the approval of
Austria, Russia and England, has
proposed a plan for the settlement
of the Bulgarian question, the fol-
lowing principles to be observed:-
First-That the Greek and Servian
demands be rejected.
Second-That Turkey be advised
to complete her military prepara-
tons, so as to be ready to interfere
in the event of Greece and Servia
moving to enforce their demands.
Third-That the union of Bull
garia and Roumelia, under Prince
Alexander, the latter avowing the
sovereignty of the Sultan, be recog-
nized.
THEY ARE FOR WAR.
The war fever runs high in Serva,
and active preparations are going
on to enforce Servia's demand for
extension of territory. English,
French and Austrian firms have
been rendered contracts by the Gov
eminent to supply complete outfits
for $4,000 troops, and all the con-
tracts have been allotted; also, one
for $4,000 horses. The Lander
Bank war loan has been raised to
$1,000, 900.
1t was reported in London that
King Milan of Servia had informed
the Powers that he must either 90
to war or abdicate his throne, and
that he had decided to 90 to war.
He has prepared a manifesto to his
army, which it was expected would
be issued on Oct. 18th.
1t was stated some days previously
that Servian troops were advancing
from Nissa toward the Bulgarian,
Macedonian and old Scrvian from
tiers.
Demonstrations in favor of war
are being held throughout Greece,
and the army is being rapidly mobi-
lized. The King has called out the
reserves to the number of 10000
men. The Salonican Greeks are
excited over the Roumelian imbrog-
lir, but their sympathies tend to-
ward Turkey.
The Greek Minister of the Inte-
rior has received q telegram from
King George, in which the King
thanks his subjects for their patrio-
tic sentiments.
The students at Athens are APP
pealing to the students throughout
Europe to raise their voices against
the injustice done to the Greek ma
tionality through the Bulgarian
union. The Archbishop of Zante
offers to devote his whole stipend to
the national cause.
The latest from Constantinople
says great activity prevails in mill
tary circles throughout Turkey,
troops being hastily armed and
equipped for immediate service.
The Sultan has determined to fight
against the further dismembermen,
of Turkey, and large bodies OF
troops are being rapidly concen,
trated on the frontier at strategic
points, within easy striking dis.
tances of Bulgaria, Greece anG
Servia. Troops, horses and fiel(
guns are being despatched to tho
front, night and day. The Mosleml
are enthusiastic and volunteering il
large numbers. E
OPINION OF GLADSTONE.
Gladstone has written TO Laveleye
the well-known Belgian writer OF
political economy, as follows g
favor the Bulgarian union, but trus
its territory will not exceed its pre-
sent limit, because l fear disastrou
competitions between the grea
powers themselves, and also thu
Hellenic and Slavonic races, for eX
tension of territory. | express my
self on this question with reserve
because my mind is perpleXed b.
the many difficulties surrounding it
i see that the Bulgarian union, ex
cellent in itself, may produce a
unreasonable evil"
