BERLIN, February 11.-[Copyrighted. B,
cable to the Associated Press. THE peact
illusion with which Bismarck's speech in
vested the situation has passed away. II
is beginning to be realized that there wal
nothing really pacific in the speech, beyond
leaving the Gar the alternative of peace OF
war, while pointing out the road alons
which Russia can retreat if the Gar feels
himself safe in retreating. The North
German Gazette goes into the subject al
length. 1t says the conflict still exists and
sundiminished in intensity although Prince
Bismarck's g speech relieved the minds OF the
people from fear OF immediate conflict.
This is only partially correct, for while the
public are somewhat reassured regarding
the imminence OF war, official and diplo-
matte circles are not. The sincerity of
the Cars desire for peace is not doubted,
but it is known that
INFLUENCES AROUND HIM
which he appears to be unable to resist,
continue to work in the direction OF war.
The Car is now guided largely by the ad-
vice OF M. Sinovieff, director OF the Asiatic
department of the Foreign Office. M. Sino
vieff is a prominent psnslavist, an old
friend of the late M. Katkoff and the inher-
tier OF Katkoff's ideas; subjected through
personal influences to the war tendency OF
the majority OF the council of the empire
and to the anti-German policy OF the ma
jority of ministry. 1t is impossible for the
Gar to retrace bis steps. which are leading
to collision with the allied powers, nor do
the Berlin and Vienna Governments expect
him to do go. Despite their ostentatious
efforts towards conciliation military activ
ity continues in full swing on every side.
The Gar held a grand council tonight, at
which every leading general was present.
The Russian war Office now
PERMITS FREER MENTION
OF the movements of troops. Warsaw dis
patches OF to-day state that there have
arrived at that city four regiments Of
cuirassier cnvalry en- route for Penzeff and
Kielc districts. At Michaelowitz, near the
Galician frontier, immense barracks have
been raised. An order from St. Petersburg
directs the execution OF the plans OF mobil-
ization of part of the field artillery. On
the Austrian side there is an increase of the |
number OF recruits and officers for the |
landwehr. Large purchases OF Krupp |
guns have been made, and enormous war l
contracts for provisions and munitions of
war have been executed. On the German |
side the most significant feature is the ex-
tension of strategic railways on the east
ern frontier.
THE PATIENT OF SAN RENO.
DR.. Bergman's visit to San Reno is ex-
pressly for the purpose OF reporting to the |
Emperor the latest phase OF the case.
Meanwhile the German doctors who have |
been consulted since the first indication OF |
the malady, continue to hold the opinion |
that the disease is cancer associated with |
perichrondritis. This has been a memora- |
BILE week in the Reichstag. Bismarck g |
triumph on the military bill had results
beyond that measure in weakening the
spirit of opposition and in adding to the
cohesion of the Government groups ON
other questions. The only check the Gov
ernment has sustained has been on the
anti-socialist bill.
