BATTLE REPORTED.
BERLIN, Sept. 2.-Private kilograms re-
ceived here this evening from Sofia say
that battle took place at Radomir, in
Eastern Roumelia, between regiments
loyal to Prince Alexander and regiments
siding with the revoiutionists and that
the latter were defeated with heavy loss.
GERMANY's POSITION.
The North German Gazette, referring to
the articles OF the Ultramontane and
Liberal press regarding Prince Alex
ander. says: Germany, unless she forth
with declared war against Russia, could
only protest against any further inter-
terence with Prince Alexander, or rer-
haps against Russia taking further steps
in the direction of tantinOple. Russia
would energetically repel the insinuation
of such an intention, and Germany's
friendly relations with Russia would be
ended. 1t must be remembered that war
would be a logical development of such a
situation. Nobody doubts that the ultra
montana and Liberal policy is fraught
with imminent danger to Germany. One
must either stand to the policy of the gov
eminent or plunge the empire into inter-
minable war"
FRANCE FEARS WAR.
PARIS, Sept. 1.-The publication of the
correspondence between the Car and
Prince Alexander has created a great
sensation in political circles here. The
Cars menaclng reply to the Princes
submissive epistle is regarded by diplo-
mats as ineuring Alexander's abdicatIOn
and Russia's occupation of Bulgaria. 1t
Is feared that war will ensue II Prince
Bismarck intervenes.
ALEXANDER ABANDONED.
LONDON, Sept. g., 5 A. M.-Tne Daily
News says: "Prince Alexander has been
abandoned and isolated by an agreement
of the three empires. Nothing could ex-
coed the humility OF his letter to the Gear,
which is only equalled in degree by
the brutality of the Cars answer.
1t is rumored that Prince
Alexander's father wants to throw up
his honorary commission in a Russian
regiment, and that the German and Aus
trian governments are trying to dlssuade
him from doing so, as such an act would
