BERLIN, August 1O.-Among the first
fortunate fruits Of England's attachment
to the triple alliance are the cessation OF
Servo-Bulgarian war preparations ai"
the simultaneous suspension OF CrclHti"-
ing. The effect of the combined d1pi"-
matte action of England, Germany, Aus
tria and Italy upon certain question as
propoundcd by the Greek note |" the
powers is the result Of a previous under
standing of the powers with Turkey ON
united action in the East. The Greek
| note, which threatened mld-1ntcrvcn-
| ton in Crete, inspired as it was by Rus
sia, met with Il decisive response from
the four powers within two days. There
is nothing in modern history like it for
rapiditv of diplomatic action, with a
STRAIGHTFORWARD assertion OF definite
| policies.
In circular notcrcccvcd here tonight,
issued under concert, the four powers re
pudiatc the charges Of the Greek note
| that Turkish misrulc is solely responsible
for the Crctan insurrcction. II asserts
that the reforms demanded by the Christ
ians have been readily granted and that
the people would remain peaceful II they
were not melted by Greek aGitatorS.
The Portc's response docs not aIIudc
to the leading point of the arrangement
on which the four powers depend Tor Il
settlement of the Crctan troubles,
namely, that Christian governor WlthA
mixed Christian and Mahomctan council
elected bv the people shall constitute Il
government after the present troubles
are over.
A scmi-ollicinl article in the ournnl dc
st. Petersburg admits that the prumptl.
tudc of decision of the powers has pre-
vented the movement from assuming pro-
portions which would menace the peace
Of Europe, and that the ScrVIan govern
mcnt t'Sabandonmcntu OF amuStrrcm nIassc
Of all the reserves is us certainty due to
the influence OF Prince Bismarck $ League
of Peace. Only Il portion ul the reserves
is now ordered out iOr formal inspection
These dplOmatic successes inspire the
= Foreign Office here with brighter hopes
of drawing Spain into the League. The
, Italian government having better re
lations with the Spanish than has
Germany has been entrusted with the
carving onofthc negotiations at Madrid
and sends Siguor Claldini us Il sprcla
envoy. If Cialdini succeeds in pcrIc,tiul
nn arrangement similar to thH, viii
; England, Bismarck viii! nave SO ringro
France with Il vircIr Ut powers hostile t.
a war of rcNanChC as to guarantee per
mancnt peace aud probably Il reduction
. of amendments. The approximation
+ of Emperor William and the Empress t,
a., visit Madrid, though denied by some "
the Spanish papers, is definite project
associated with oYcrturcs for an under
standing. If the present plans arc car
ricd out, Emperor William will 90 i'll tn

and thence to Madrid. Emperor William
and Prince Henry arrived at WlIhclns
