/ Although convinced that war is newt
able and that it would be preferable tor
Austria sooner than later, Count kalnoky
persists in waiting Russia time. Public
sentiment in Vienna and Pesth displays ir-
ritation over the position.
The Hungarian papers charge kainoky
with too great sub>ervience to Bismarck,
and urge that action be taken without
waiting for an order from Berlin The
truth of the position, however. is that
Prince Bismarck has already fully pos
sessed Count kalnoky of the fact that

Another version is senii-officially issued
in Vienna tonight of the Russian military
attachment. Iuieff' recent statement that
two new divisions of Russian troops had
arrived at Galecia. The first version of
this statement, which was also semi-offi-
claliy given, was distinctly menacing. lt
is now stated that Iujeff, while conversing
with Austrian officials, only stated that
displacement of divisions would be effect
ed graually in the course of the present
year He furth her expressed the hope that
no advance would be made, as such argu-
n1ent would weaken the Russian defensive
position, and would compel her to
take larger measures The Interpretation
is obviously issued to allay the impa-
thence OF the military or political circles OF
Austria Hungary where Count kalnoky is
becoming distrusted, and plans are matur-

kalnoky ere long il a powerful section of
active politicians succeed in their plans.

The national liberal press joins that of the
