BERLIN, July 5.-There are growing
signs of an impending storm in the Bal
kans The situation is so grave that holi-
day vacations of the leading officials of
the Foreign Office have been stopped. A
momentous change appears to have oc-
Cured in Germany's diplomacy. Instead
of assuming the sentimental disposition of
Prince Bismarck the Emperor has decided
upon Herr Radowitz to take the initiative
in advising the Porte how to meet the con-
tending claims Of Bulgaria and Russia, and
he has been so instructed through Chan
eellor Caprivi. Radowitz has promised the
Porte an early solution in harmony with
the Berlin treaty, and also that an endeavor
will be made to meet the Russian war in-
demnity.
THE EMPERoR's SCHEME.
The Emperor's scheme of settlement, ac-
cording to the accepted report in diplo-
matte circles, involves the displacing of
Prince Ferdinand and the substitution of
the Prince Of Sweden as the ruler Of Bull
garia in his stead, and also the arrange
ment of the Russian indemnity by capital
izing the amount through the Internal
Council of Administration, which now con-
trolls the Turkish loans. The scheme seems
to have received an impetus from Emperor
Williams conference with Prince Oscar at
Cnristiania.
OBJECTIONABLE TO RUSSIA.
Though the financial proposals have not
been formal communicated to Russia, 1t
is already reported that De Giers, the Rus
sian Prime Minister, has received an init
nation of their nature with the expression
that they were not satisfactory to Russia.
He stated that Russia did not want to be
concerned in the rearranging of the Turk
ish debts and preferred to hold the Porte
directly to its engagements. His response
means that Russia will not let go her grip
on the Turkish neck given by the War De-
partment. general explosion in the
Balkans may occur before the Powers have
time to consider Emperor Williams pro-
posal.
ADDED COMPLICATIONS
Greece and Servia have added TO the
general imbroglio 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 Seryian nation
alities.
The Servian note also declares the ab-
sence of law and order in Macedonia ex-
poses Seryians to continuous outrage and
demands instant remedy. 4 rising i'll Bull
garia is likely at any moment to give the
signal for general contiagratIon. Colonel
Nicola Jeff, Major Panitza's brotheT-in-law,
who is among the most popular officers IN
the Bulgarian army, is in Macedonia watch
Ing Il chance to start a revolt.
BIsMARCK's s MOVEMENTS.
The renouncing Of Prince Bismarck's
visit to England is due to the altered as
lect of foreign affairs. He will 60 to his
estates at SchoenhauseD and thence to
Gastein, where Count Kanoky, the Austro-
Hungary Prime Minister, will also recruit
his health After his recovery" the Ham,
burger NachTlchten says, " Bismarck will
not enter the Reichstag. Ii he is driven TO
oppose the Government, he would prefer to
represent the National Liberal constituency,
he now being more in sympathy with that
party than with the Conservatives"
ANGLo-GERMAN AGREEMENT.
Despite the opposition in the English
Parliament, the AnglO-German agreement
relative to African territory is considered
here to be absolutely sure. The German
ambassador London has the assurance
Oi Lord Salisbury that the Government is
causing its supporters to know that 1t
will stand by 1t, and has secured majority.
French reports of q secret clause in the
treaty, committing England to naval Inter
yentIOn in the North Sea and the Balkans
in favor of Germany in case of war, is in
correct, although an entente" exists
amounting to a concerted policy against
France and Russia.
DANISH PORK.
The Reiehsanzeiger states the removal
of the prohibition against the importation of
Danish pork and bacon sides. The removal
OF these restrictions will afford grounds for
the renewal of Minister Phelps communi-
cations concerning the American trade.
