BERLIN, July 5.-There are growing
signs of an impending storm in the Balkans
The situation is so grave that the holiday
vacations Of the leading officials of the for
eign office here have been stopped. Herr
Won Radowitz, the German ambassador at
Constantlnople, who was about to start for
Kissengen, has been directed to remain at
his post. Sir W. a. White, the British
ambassador to the porte. who was just be-
ginning furlough to last several months,
hurried back to Constantinople after bav-
ing long interview with the emperor of
Austria. The czar has also countermanded
the leave of NJ. Nelidoff, the Russian am
bassador.
A MoMENToUS CHARGE.
A momentous change appears to have
occurred in Germany's policy in the
Balkans. Instead of pursuing the semi
neutral diplomacy of Prince Bismarck.
the emperor has directed Herr Radowitz to
to meet the contending claims Of Bulgaria
and Russia.
Instructed through Chancellor Won Cap
Tivi, Herr Radowitz has promised the Porte
an early solution CT the Bulgarian trouble in
harmony with the Berlin treaty, and also
that an endeavor will be made to meet the
Russian war indemnity. The emperor's
scheme of settlement, according to the ac-
cepted report in diplomatic circles, involves
tho dianlariDn IF prtnra EarHsnanG Aa
substitution of Prince Karl of Sweden
as ruler of Bulgaria, and also
the arrangement of a Russian indemnity by
capitalizing the amount through the inter-
national council OF administration which
now controls Turkish loans. The scheme
seems to have received impetus from En-
peror Williams conference with Prince
Oscar at Christina.
RUSSIA NOT SATISFIED.
Though the financial proposals have not
been formally communicated to Russia, it is
already reported that M. de Giers, the
Russian prime minister, has received an in
timation Of their nature and has intimated
that they were not satisfactory to Russia,
he stating that Russia did not want
TO be concerned in rearranging the Turkish
debt, and proposed to hold the porte directly
to its engagement. His response means
that Russia will not let go her grip on
Turkeys neck given by the war debt. A
general explosion in the Balkans may occur
before the powers have time to consid or
Emperor Williams proposals.
FUEL ADDED TO THE FLAMES.
Greece and Servia have added to the
general embroglio by each presenting notes
to the porte to the effect that any conces-
sion to Bulgaria would require similar con-
cessions to the Greek and Servian nationali-
ties The Servian note also declares
that the absence of law and order
in Macedonia exposes Seryians to continu.
GUS outrages and demands instant remedy.
A rising in Bulgaria is likely to occur at
any moment to give the signal for general
confiagration. Col. Nicolof. Maj. Panitza's 8
brother-in-law, who is among the most
popular officers in the Bulgarian army, is
somewhere in Macedonia watching a chance
to start a revolt. M. Stambuloff, the prime
minister, who is now a violent dictator of
Bulgaria, relies upon his brother-iu-law,
Col. Mountokoff, who holds the chief com
mand in the army, to prevent rising.
A letter of Prince Alexander of Batten-
berg to Maj. Panitlzas widow offering to
adopt her child mas added fire to the dis
content with the present regime. he Bull
garian delegation arrived at Pesth yester-
day. They are going to hold a conference
with Prince Alexander
BIsMARCK's PLANS.
The renouncing of Prince Bismarcks g
visit to England is due to the altered aspect
of foreign affairs. He will go to his estates
at Schonhausen and thence to eastern,
where Count Kalnoky, the Austro- Hun
garian prime minister, will also recruit his
health. After his recovery, the Ham
burger NdchTichten says, Prince Bismarck
will enter the Reicnstag. If he is driven to
oppose the government he would prefer to
represent national liberal constituency
he now being more in sympathy with that
party than with the conservative.
THE AFRICAN AGREEMENT.
Despite the strength of the opposition in
! the English parliament the nglo-German
agreement relative to African territory
is considered here to be absolutely safe.
Count Van Hattzefeldt, the German ambas-
sador at London, has the assurance Of Lord
Salisbury that the government is causing
its supporters to know that it will stand or
fallI by the compact, and has se-
cured a normal majority. The French
reports of q secret clause in the treaty COM
mitting England to a naval entente in the
North sea and the Baltic in favor of Ger
many in the event of war are incorrect,
though an entente exists amounting TO a
concerted policy against France and Russia.
IMPORTATION OF PORK.
The RetchSunzetger to-day announces tue
removal of the prohibition against the i'm
portation Of Danish pork and bacon sides.
Live pigs Will be admitted under a certifi-
cate OF health from German sanitary in
spectors. Removal of these restrictions will
afford grounds for the renewal of Minister
Phelps communications concerning Ameri-
can trade.
LEIPsIC's STATE OF SIEGE.
The period of the state Of siege expired in
Leipsic on Tuesday. Herr Leibnicht and q
large number of socialists who were expelled
are returning and are taking part IN the
fetes undisturbed by the police. Herr Leib-
nicht will come to Berlin in the autumn.
He has now become the sole center Of the
revolutionary party.
The Friesinnige ZeitL1sG asserts that
Emperor William, on his journey from
Berlin to Keil on the night OF June "a, had
long interview with Prince Bismarck at
Schwarzenbach, the station before Freid-
richsruhe. The statement is doubtful.
The German Students Club at Prague
has subscribed 1000 marks to the Bismarck
memorial fund. The local police ordered
the club dissolved unless the members can
celed their subscriptions.
Princess DoigourKi has returned to st.
Petersburg, through Berlin, under permis-
sion from the czar. She has petitioned the
car to appoint her son, the czars half
brother, as an officer of the Guards. The
czar has ordered the prince TO join as a
private.
