WAR OR PEACE?

The Powers Hope for the Latter. but Continue
Preparing for the Former.
BERLIN, Jan. 9.-I'he National Zeitung says
the general belief that peace will be maintained
is growing, but declares that Russia must in
itiate the solution of the question.
Advices from Vienna not favorable to the
prevailing predictions of peace. Colonel Ecu
loft, military attache of the Russian embassy at
that city, has informed the Austrian authorities
of Russia's intention to send two more divisions
Of troops to the Galician frontier. This
information is considered as serious, particularly
in view Of the fact that the Russian government
instructed Colonel Zeulof to make the notf-
cation. The condition of the railways and forti
ications in Galcia is oficiaially reported by the
Austrian commission as in every way satisfac-
tory, and the commission further represents
that forces ample to meet any contingency
could reach the frontier within twenty-four
hours.
At St Petersburg, well-informed persons con-
slider that, although the political situation is de-
cidedly improved. the improvement is only con-
ditional. and that if the European Cabinets con-
fine themselves to platonic statements and fail
to take corresponding action, the situation will
shortly become critical it two weeks

carry out the recent raid of Montenegrins into
Bulgaria, eliminating in a sharp fight at Boor-
ghas, was furnished from Moscow and
Odessa, and it is further asserted that
other raids are imminent The
from which this information comes

amounts of money have been set aside in Odes-
sa and Moscow for the purpose OF Russianizng
the Balkan countries, more especially Bulgaria.
and that commissions similar to that which the
Russian Nabikoff attempted to execute at
Boorghas have been placed in the hands of
other Russian leaders. with instructions to
spare no effort expense to accomplish their
early consummation.
Great anxiety is felt in Berlin, despite the
assuring kilograms sent out from the German
capital concerning the condition Of the Emper-
or's health, and rumors are at the same time
again arising in that city that the gen
eral European friction, from which the
powers have only just been freed, is being
renewed. The cause OF recrudescence of the
unhealthy political atmosphere of Europe ia
commonly ascribed to Russia's resentment of
the inactivity of the powers in dealing with the
Bulgarian question, and more especially with
regard to their attitude pecting Prince Ferdi-
nand's continuance in Sofia Whether not this
represents Russsias present feeling, the north
ern empire certainly has some reason to protest
against apathetic acceptance of her recent
concessions and assurances of peaceful intentions;
