Austria Will Help if Help Is Needed-A
Change in Russia's Attitude.
LONDON, Oct. Herr Tisza's speech in the
Hungarian Diet is interpreted at Pesth as mean
ing that Austria would remain neutral if Bull
garia should submit to Russia, but if Bulgaria
should resist Russia, that Austria would prevent
the occupation of Bulgaria by Russia.
The Austrian military attache at Sofa has
been instructed to encourage the Bulgarian Re-
gents to resist the Russian demands, with hint
of eventual support
The st Petersburg papers have been forbidden
to publish certain portions of the speech made
by the Hungarian Premeryesterday.
tits stated positively, at Vienna, that General
Kaulbars, in consequence of hints from St
Petersburg, has moderated his attitude equally
with the regency, and has become more concil-
| iatory General Kaulbars's moderation is due
to telegram from NJ. De Giers to the effect that
Russia did not wish to interfere with the Bulga-
rian Constitution or with the domestic affairs of
Bulgaria.
Several officers arrested for participation in
the revolution have been released on parole.
NJ Stambuloff has informed General Kaulbars
that he himself and all the Ministers and Re-
will not De reelected
The inquiry into the revolution has been con-
cluded. The Sobranje will be asked to summon
a court martial to try offenders. It is reported
that three Ministers are implicated. The ac-
cused, with the exception of the leaders, will be
dealt with leniently.
The North German Gazette reiterates that
| Alexanders abdication was voluntary on his part
It says: Russia has an old score against Alex
ander, but there is no evidence that threats
were used against him. The action of Germany
| and Austro Hungary was confined to persuading
| Alexander, in a confidential and courteous man
| ner to refrain from immediate executions
| Alexander ought to have been prepared to ex-
perience plots in a country like Bulgaria. Other
countries experience similar plots without their
sovereigns forthwith resigning"
The people throughout Bulgaria have held
meetings and adopted resolutions begging the
government to reject General Kaulbars's de-
mands.
The st. Petersburg Novoe Vreinya publishes
a telegram from Moscow which says: "The
Bulgarian crisis has paralyzed trade and checked
the revival of business which the good harvests
| had melted Moscow is prepared for any event
uality The present condition is as bad as war,
| if not worse"
| Premier Tszas answer to the Diet is said to
have been widely applauded by the Hungarians
as we'll it might have been, for bolder words
| from al Austrian dgnitary have not been
| spoken since Sadowa. The declaration seems to
render it impossible for Austria to back down an
| inch or refuse to make Herr Tiszas words good
| yet it amounted to a guarantee that General
| Kaulbars would not be allowed to do precisely
the things ne placarded all Sofia with that he in
| tends to do Unless Russia backs down and re-
calls General Kaulbars it 4. difficult to see how
collision is avoidable. Nobody believes that
Russia will back down.
It is significant that Turkey is massing troops
at Adrianople as earnestly as if war had begun.
She is also said to be hard at work fortifying
Armenia. Late dispatches from Vienna report
an extremely excited feeling there. At Pesth
the general expectation is that Russia will force
matters to an issue at once. There seems to be
no doubt that the Bugarians will stand firm in
defiance of Russia, now that Austria is at their
back, and events are likely to march now at a
stirring pace. Extensive telegraphing is going
on from the Foreign Office tonight.
