LONDON, Aug 30.-To-night I learn
details of what the world is likely to
learn much 10 the excited interest with
In q few days. The conclusion that my
informant draws from 1t all IL that the
greatest war OF the century 10 near at
hand. The facts come in part from q
gentleman who dined at Jugep helm
with Prince Alexander of Hes.e father
OF the Prince of Bulgaria, on Saturday
night; in part from diploma: tenn DO
rarily here for the purposes OF consul
tation. First Of all the secret Of the
Fran zsnsbad interview, about which
not guess has been made BY single
journal in Europe, Is that M de Giers
urged Prince Bismarck earneetly to
prevent Alexander's return to Bulgaria.
Bismarck declined TO commit himself,
took the matter ad referendum and
shortened the interview almost ab-
ruptly. A great amount Of telegraph
ing between Berlin, Vienna, Lor don,
Rome and Copstantinople ensued.
Whether NJ. de Giers got an answer be-
fore his unexpectedly hasty departure
is not known, but the result was that
Prince Alexander was not restrained
from returning to Bulgaria.
Mr.. Laecelles, the British consult
general who was spending his vacation
here. Ptarted post haste for Sophia the
same night to represent English inter-
ests. This Is q hint that Sir William
VIII lite, who ought never to have been
removed from Constantinople, will 60
| there next week as q temporary aid to
the slow Sir Edward Thorn. Mr.. La
| celles' haste Is to forestall the Russian
FIRE eater, Prince Dolgerouki, who is
reported to be on the way TO Sofia.
He will be received cody, strictly en-
civile-not affronted, not recognized
There is a doubt, however, whether he
will really go to Sofia. Instead, 90.
cret information here is that he is likely
to 60 to Athens and thence to Mace
donia. 1t Is known that Russian gold
has been going in great quantities
Through Greece to foment q rising In
Macedonia which is expected daily.
ALLIES AGAINST RUSSIA.
learn that it Ia be lieved to be Ger.
tain that the pressure of Germany,
Austria and England has gained Tur-
key over once mo-e, and that the Porte
will authorize Alexander AZ q tributary
prince to enter Macedonia, subdue It
and incorporate it as part of his
IdominioDs, held under the Porte, with
the view of an eventual XIII &c ON of
Bulgaria. Against this plan is set the
practical certainty that Russia will at
tempt to occupy Bulgaria, when she
!. will be resisted by Austria, Turkey,
Roumania, Bulgaria and Servia. This
will enable Germany TO hold a'oof, keep
France in awe and satisfy the Kaiser,
whose scruples have long delay ed COL
lision between the Teuton and the Mus
!, covite,
II My informant lays great etret upon
the strength and sufficiency of these
, ecruples, but believes that the Kaiser,
> in wrath at the piratical indignity Of
r fered to Prince Alexander, has consent
ed to let the Austrians and Turks
undertake the task of chastisement. In
| the short heated diplomatic woik COM
9 irg England is believed to be ready to
r assume the lead; and it is left far more
5 probable than it was on Saturday that
( Eventually she will take hand in the
f fight.
o. It is delicate thing to predict such
f q vast collision; but 1t Is serious fact
that the most trusted men in the Eng
lish foreign service believe 10 nj sht that
war is inevitable. Two war correspon-
tgaria tomorrow.

The Prince Is making the shortest
