BERLIN, July 6.-There are growing signs
of an impending storm in the Balkans.
The situation is SO grave that holiday vaca-
tions of leading officials of the foreign
office have been stopped. The momentous
change appears to have occurred in Ger
many's policy in the Balkans. Instead of pur-
suing the sentimental diplomacy Of Prince
Bismarck, the emperor has directed Herr
Radowitz to take tho initiative in advising
the Porte how to meet the contending
claims of Bulgaria and Russia. Instructed
through Chancellor Carrivi, Radowitx has
promised the Porte an eerlv solution Of the
Bulgarian trouble in harmony with the
Berlin treaty, and also that an endeayor
will be made to meet the Russian war in
demnity. The emperor's scheme of settle-
ment, according to tho accepted
report in diplomatic circles, involves
the displacing OF Prince Ferdinand
and the substitution of Prince
Karl of Sweden as the ruler of Bulgaria in
his stead, and also an arrangement Of the
amounts through the international council
of administration which now controls
Turkish. .loans The, scheme seems to have
received impetus from Emperor Williams g
conference with Prince Oscar at Christiana,
though the financial .&roposals have not

may occur before the powers have time to
consider Emperor Williams proposals.

The renouncing of Prince Bismarck's

enter the reichstag. II he is forced to OPP
pose the government he would prefer to
represent national liberal constitu-
ency, he now being more IN
sympathy with that party than with the
conservatives. Despite the opposition In
the English parliament, the Anglo German

French reports of the secret cause IN
the treaty committing England to naval
Intervention in the North sea and the Baltic
in favor of Germany in the event of war
