BERLIN. Jan. IA calm which Of
hclal and diplomatic circles know to be
deceptive prevails for the moment.
The Austrian and Russian govern
ments have exchanged assurances of
peace, aspirations to which nobody at
taches the slightest Importance. The
only actual change in the situation
tending towards peace is the active
resumption of negotiations between
Count Kalnosky, the Austrian
foreign minister, and Prince Lobansoff,
the Russian ambassador at Vienna, for
the settlement of the balance of power
in the Balkan peninsula. This miti
gates the crisis, and removes the
danger of war at least for the present.
But it does not modify any of the es-
Sential differences between the two
governments. The negotiations are
expected by both sides to end in an ex-
act definition of the respective de-
mands such as heretofore has not
existed. and from which may be OBJ
tanned a valid excuse for war. Accord,
from Vienna tonight, Prince LabadOff
has opened the diplomatic campaign
by proposing as the first step towards
an entent, the removal of Prince Fer
dinand from the throne of Bulgaria
under joint mandate of the powers,
the election of new prince
t Hg reapp ne% s00fo Of Russian aa6
officers to the Bulgarian army.
The proposal specifies that the Prince
must be a member of the orthodox
Greek church, and the sobranje so
elected SO as to enable Russia to re-
cognize 1t as being legally constituted.
In the meantime the foreign Office here
holds alOof from the negotiations which
wards other demands. The Cars
ministers already know that
Count Kalnosky viii not ad-
NIT that the Berlin treaty gives Rus
STA any special right to interfere in Bull
garia. They know, also, that it is i'm
possible to obtain from the powers a
joint mandate. Baff1ed on these points
on Austrian retention of the Bosnia
and Herzegovina These provinces
were occupied under a purely tempo
rary title, but are now practically an
nexed. Austria will be called upon
to evacuate them. and it is probable
that the question of their future ad-
ministratiOn will be referred to a con-
ference Of the ps,wers. An ostensible
caSus belli. it is anticipated, will arise
over Austria's refusal to divide the
Balkans.
The lines OF st. Petersburg diplom-
acy tend to a protracted exchange of
views, thus assisting the plans of the
Russian strategists, who are UNI
willing to risk the war until
the summer. No time would
be given to Russia to complete her pre-
parations if Bismarck had free hauu.
But the divisions within the imperial
family are increasing, the weakness of
the Emperor and the renewed activity
of the anti-Bismarckian court infiu-
enceS combine to enfeeble and retard
the development of the German policy.
Only the determination of Austria can
precipitate a war. If the kalnoky
government is too timid to
cut short the negotiations, and
demand the reason for the
concentration of Russian troops on the
frontier Russia can select her time for
a rupture. Meanwhile despite semi
official assurance to the contrary, war
preparation is in progress on both
sides, the total force Of Russians in
the Warsaw wilma and KioH districts.
according to military estimate, reach
/ eS 325 600 men, with 100 guns. The
cavalry regiments stationed immedi-
ately on the frontier are being supplied
with rations on the same scale
as during an actual campaign.
The cost to the Russian. treasury is
also equal to the war cost. Everything
points to the conclusion that the Gar
means to enforce his terms, if not by
diplomacy, by war.
The attitude of England in the event
/ OF hostilities viii be one of friendly
neutrality. This fact is known to the
Berlin foreign Office. No overtures
have ever been made by the German
| government for EnglandAs co-opera-
ton in the triple alliance.

remarkable prominence-we had al
