An UltimatIon Has Been Presented

Snubbed In a Most EN-
phatic Manner.

C9yrlght, ls9", by The New York Associated
BERLIN. July 5.-Tbere are growing
signs Of an impending storm in the Bal
kans. The situation is So grave that the
holiday vacations of the leading officials
OF the foreign office have been stopped.
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 Radowitx
To take the initiative in advising the Porte
how To meet the contending claims
of Bulgaria and Russia. Instructed
through Chancellor Caprivi. Radowitz has
promised the porte an early solution of
the Bulgarian trouble in harmony with
the Berlin treaty, and also that an en-
deavor will he made 10 meet the Russian
war indemnity. The emperor's scheme
of settlement according 10 the accepted
report in diplomatic circles. involves the
displaying of Prince Karl of Sweden as
ruler Of Bulgaria in his stead, and also in
arrangement of Russian indemnity by
capitalizing the amount through the inter
national council of administration which
now controls Turkish loans. The scheme
seems to have received an impetus from
Emperor Williams conference with
Prince Oscar at Christina. Though the
financial proposals have not been form
ally communicated TO Russia il is already
reported that DE Giers. the Russian prime
minister, has received an intimation of
their nature with the expression that they
were not satisfactory to Russia, he stat
ing that Russia did not want to he CON
cerned in the rearranging of the Turkish
debt, and preferred 10 hold the Porte di-
rcctly to its engagements. HIS response
means that Russia will not let go her grip
on Turkeys neck given 10y the war debt.
A general explosion in the Balkans may
occur before the powers have time To con-
slider Emperor Williams proposals.
Greece and Scrvia have added To the
general imbroglio, 10y each presenting
notes To the porte 10 the effect that any
concession To Bulgaria would require sim
liar concessions to the Greek and Servian
nations. The Scrvian note also declares
the absence Of law and order and in Mac
cdonia exposes Servians 10 continuous
outrage and demands instant remedy.
A rising in Bulgaria is likely TO occur at
any moment To give signal for the gem
eral coniiagration. Colonel Nicola
ien, Major Panitza's brother-in-
law. who is among the most
popular officers in the Bulgarian army is
in Macedonia watching chance To start
the revolt.
The renouncing Of Prince Bismarck's
visit To England is due To the altered as
pect OF foreign affairs. He will go TO his
estates and thence 20 Gastin, where Count
Kalnoky, the Austro-Hungary prime min
lister, will also recruit his health.
After recovery the Hamburger Nachrichtea
says Brmarck will not enter the rechstag.
IL 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.
Despite of the opposition in the English
parliament the Anglo-German agree ment
relative To the African territory is consid-
cred here as absolutely safe. The German
ambassador at London has the assurance
Of Lord Salisbury that the government is
causing its supporters to know that II will
| stand or fall by the compact and has Sc
cured normal majority. The French re-
ports of secret clause in the treaty COM
mitting England to naval Intervention in
north sea and Baltic i'm favor of Germany
| in the event of war, are incorrect, al
though an entente exists amounting To a
concerted policy against France and Rus
sia. Reichsan4eiger announces the RE-
moval of the prohibition against the i'm
portation OF Danish pork and bacon sides.
| The removal of these restrictions will
afford grounds for the removal of Minis
ter Phelps communications concerning
