BERLIN, Aug 1O-Among the first for
tunate fruits Of England'S attachment to
the triple alliance are the cessation of the
Servo-Bulgarian war preparations and
simultaneous suspension of the Cretan ris-
ing The swiftnesS of the combined diplo-
matte action of England, Germany. Austria
and Italy upon the Cretan question, as pro-
pounded by the Greek note to the powers. is
the result of the previous understanding Of
the powers with Turkey on united action in
the east
AN INNOVATION IN DIPLOMACY.
The Greek note which threatened armed
intervention in Crete, inspired as it was by
Russia. met with a decisive response from
the tour powers within two DAYS There is
nothing in modern history like it for
rapIdlty of diplomatic action with straight
forward assertion of q definite policy
The porte in a circular note received here
tonight, issued under concert of the four
powers, repudiates the charges of the Greek
note that Turkish misrule is solely RESPONSE
bic for the Cretan insurraction. 1t asserts
thai the reforms demanded by the christ
lans have been readily granted, and that
tn9 people would remain peaceful if they
were not melted by the Greek agitators.
ONE POINT NOT ALLUDED TO.
The porte's response does not allude to
the leading point of the arrangement on
which the four powers depend for the SET
tement OF the Cretan troubles-namely,
that the christian governor, with a mixed
christian and MOslem council, elected by
the people, shall constitute the gov
ernment after the present troubles
are over. A semi-oflioia article in
the Journal De st. ietersbtrq 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 nent of the
muster en- masse of all the reserves is GER
tainly due to the influence of Prince Bis
marck's league OF peace. Only portion of
the reserves is now ordered out for formal
inspection.
LOOKING AFTER SPAIN.
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 carrying on the negotiations
at Madrid, and sends Signor Cialdini
ceeds in perfeCting an arrangement similar
t. that with England, Prince Bismarck
viii have so ringed France with a circle of
powers hostile to the war Of reyauche as to
guarantee permanent peace and probable
reduction of armaments
A DEFINITE PROJECT.
The reported intention of Emperor Will
lam and the empress to visit Madrid, though
denied 10y some Spanish papers, is a definite
project, associated with the overtures for
an understanding. If the present plans are
carried out the emperor Will 90 in the i'm
perial yacht to Lisbon in September and
theuce to Madrid.
Emperor William and Prince Henry ar
rived at Wllhelmsnaven this afternoon and
Immediately proceeded by a special train to
Berlin. Prince aud Princess Bismarck
came to Wilhelmstrasse from Varezin
tonight.
DELIGHTED WITH ENGLAND.
The emperor's impressions of England,
as freely made known through his mother,
the cx-enpress, are enthusiastically appre-
ciative. Writing to his mother from Osborne
house after the naval review a Spltnead,
the emperor descri bed the magnificent
view Of the line of the English war ships,
ten miles long, passing before him as sur
prisng proof of the tremendous strength Of
Great Britain, conveying new ideas of her
prepolderance of power throughout the
world. The emperor's sojourn at Osborne
house has certainly tended to renew the
friendships previously existing between the
members Of the two royal families.
QUEEN vICTORIA's HAPPINEs S.
Queen Victoria sent a telegram to the ex-
empress describing the happiness she expert
enced from her grandson's presence and the
warmth of feeling he showed toward her
self and her children The ex-empress,
in responding, thanked her mother
for the good news, which she received with
deep JOY. The visit of the Prince of Wales
TO Berlin, which is arranged for the end Of
September, will seal the renewal of family
cordiality. The empress came to-day from
Potsdam and Pri cess Henry, with her
baby, from Darmstadt, to meet their hus
bands here.
FRANCIS JOSEPH's ARRIVAL.
The Emperor Francis Joseph's arrival is
timed for Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
The ceremonial Of his reception will be
similar TO that of King Humbert's, al
though he hos asked, on account of his
recent afd CtiOn, very quiet welcome. The
Unter Den Linden will be decorated
il tue style usual on the occasion
Of a monarch's entry into the city.
Popular curiosity is not excited over the
visit, the public interest being centered in
the czar's coming. which is now fixed for
Aug %. The burgomaster applied to the for
eigu office for advice as to now TO prepare
for the czar's visit. be was told that it
was doubtful if the car would enter Ber
lin, although he would stay four days at
Potsdam His morbid dread of facing a
crowd prevents the visit to the capitol.
The programme for the visit is subject to
alterations depending upon the police re-
ports regarding the safety Of the various
routes.
THE PRESENT PROGRAMME.
According 10 the present arrangements,
the Russia imperial family will leave the
Peterhof palace on board the Durjava on
Aug "A. reaching Stettin on the following
dav. The czarina and her children will
proceed thence TO Copenhagen, while the
car, accompanied by Emperor William,
will come to Potsda,n, where reviews and
state banquets will be held. The czar will
afterward gOtby rail to KIel to witness the
naval review. From there h3 will go to
Copenhagen. Numbers of Russian de-
tectives have already been stationed at
Berlin. Stertin and Potsdam. The officials
of the Russian embassy assert that the car
intends to hold limited reception at the
embassy, and the lavish preparations that
are being made confirm the statement The
wOrkmen are engaged day and night in
decorating the interior of the building.
