BERLIN, August 10.-Among the first
fortunate fruits of England's attachment to
the triple alliance are the cessation OF the
Servo-Bulgarian war preparations, and the
simultaneous suspension of the Cretan
rising. The swiftness of the combined
diplomatic action of England, Germany,
Austria and Italy upon the Cretan question,
as propounded by the Greek note to the
Powers, is the result of a previous under
standing of the Powers with Turkey on
united action in the East. 50.
The Greek note, which threatened armed
intervention in Crete. inspired as it was by
Russia, met with decisive response from
the four powers within two days. There is
nothing in modern history like it for rapid
ity of diplomatic action, with a straight
forward assertion of definite policy.
COMING BACK AT GREECE.
here tonight, issued under the concert OF
the four Powers, repudiates the charge of
the Greek note that Turkish misrule is
solely responsible for the Cretan insurrec-
ton. 1t asserts that the reforms demanded
by the Christians have been readily granted,
and that the people would remain peaceful
if they were not melted by Greek agitators.
The Porte's response does not allude to
the leading point of the arrangement on
which the four Powers depend for the set
tlement of the Cretan troubles, namely:
Hbrio xuif mil cd
Christian and Moslem Council, elected by
the people, shall constitute the Government
after the present troubles are over.
A semi-oficial article in the Journal De
st. Petersburg admits that the promptitude
of the decision of the powers has prevented
the movement from assuming proportions
which would menace the peace of Europe,
and that the Servian Governments abandon
ment of the mass of all the reserves is as
certainly due to the influence of Prince
Bismarck's league OF peace. Only portion
of the reserves is now ordered out for formal
inspection.
BISMARCK FEELS BETTER.
These diplomatic successes inspire the
foreign Office here with brighter hopes OF
drawing Spain into the league. The
italian Government, having better relations
with the Spanish than has Germany, has
been entrusted with the carrying on OF the
negotiations at Madrid, and sends Signor
Cialdini as special envoy.
If Signor Cialdini succeeds in perfecting
an arrangement similar to that with En-
gland Prince Bismarck will have SO ringed
France with circle of powers hostile to
war of revanehe, as to guarantee perma-
nent peace and probable reduction of the
armaments.
The reported intention of Emperor Will
rorn he Ennvn fn yteif Modr rS1
though denied by some Spanish papers, is a
definite project associated with overtures
for an understanding. If the present plans
are carried out, Emperor William will go
in the Imperial yacht to Lisbon in Septem-
ber and thence to Madrid.
Emperor William and Prince Henry ar
rived at Wilhelmhaven this afternoon and
Immediately proceeded by special train to
Berlin. Prince and Princess Bismarck
came to Willhelm's Strasse from Varzin To-
night.
THE EMPEROR ENTHUSIASTIC.
The Emperor's impressions of England,
as freely made known through his mother,
the ex-Empress, are enthusiastically appre-
ciative. Writing to his mother from Os-
borne House, after the naval review at
Spithead. the Emperor described the mag
nifcent view of the line of English war
ships ten miles long passing before him, as
q surprising proof of the tremendous
strength of Great Britain, conveying new
ideas of her preponderance of power
throughout the world.
The Emperor's sojourn at Osborn has GER
tainly tended to renew the friendships pre-
viouslv existing between the members of
the two royal families. Queen Victoria
sent telegram to the ex-Empress describ-
ing the happiness she experienced from her
nd fha of
feeling he showed toward herself and her
children.
The ex-Empress, in responding, thanked
her mother for the good news, which she re-
ceived with great Joy. The visit of the
Prince of Wales to Berlin, which is arranged
for the end of September, will seal the re-
newal of family cordiality. The Empress
came to-day from Potsdam. and Princess
Henry, with her baby, from Dsrmstadt to
meet their husbands here.
ANOTHER ROYAL VISIT.
Emperor Francis Joseph's arrival is timed
for Monday at 8 P. NJ. The ceremonial of
his reception will be similar to that of King
Humbert's, although he has asked, on ac-
count of his recent affiiction, a very quiet
welcome. Under Den Linden will be deco
rated in the style usual on the occasion of a
monarch's entry into the city.
Popular curiosity is not excited over the /
visit, public interest being conferred in the
Cars coming, which is now fixed for the
28th inst. The Burgomaster applied to the
Foreign Office for advice as to how to pre-
pare for the Cars visit. He was told that
it was doubtful if the Gar would enter
Berlin, although he would stay four days
at Potsdam.
His morbid dread of facing a crowd pre-
vents visit to the capital. The programme
for the visit is subject to alterations, de-
pending upon the police reports regarding
the safety of the various routes. According
to the present arrangements the Russian I'm
perial family will leave the Peterhof Palace
on board the Derjava on the oath, reaching
Stettin on the following day.
DETECTIVES IN PLENTY.
The Czarina and her children will pro-
ceed thence to Copenhagen, while the Gar,
accompanied by Emperor William, will
come to Potsdam, where reviews and state
banquets will be held. The Gar will after
ward 90 by rail to Kiel to witness naval
review. From there he will go to Copen-
hagen.
Numbers of Russian detectives have
already been stationed at Berlin, Stettin
and Potsdam. Officials of the Russian
embassy assert that the Gar intends to
hold a limited reception at the embassy,
and the elaborate preparations that are be-
ing made confirm the statement. Work
men are engaged day and night in deco
rating the interior Of the building.

ment of General Boulanger that he used the
secret fund to buy the right to inspect the
papers of the military attache of the German
