BERLIN, June 28.-The Reichstag passe
the army bill to its third reading without
an amendment The minority consisted of
the Freisinniege, Socialist and Volks par
ties and Is members of the Center party. OF
the Centrist members who voted
against the bill, 16 were from Ba-
varia and two from Berlin. They
refused to follow DR.. Windthorst in 40
cepting Chancellor Won Csprivi's assur-
ances that extensive leaves of absence would
be granted after two years service, and that
annual budgets would be presented which
would enable the Reichstag to control the
fxation of the peace efecting. The Chan
eellor's concessions practically amount to
little but they suficed to give the bulk OF
the Center party an excuse for voting tor the
bill.
ing of the Budget Committees report, strik-
ing out the credit demanded by the Govern
ment for raising the pay of officers below the
rank of Colonel Baron Maltzahn, the Inn
perial, Secretary of the Treasury, and Gen.
eral Verdy Du Vernois, the Minister of
War, again advocated the reinsertion of the
credit, without avail. The supplementary
estimates, amounting to 73,600, 900 marks,
which are mainly intended for military pur-
poses, were referred to the Budget Com
mittee.
AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
The Government having now secured the
passage of the army bill, the House can ad-
journ early in July until November, when
bills bearing on the labor question will
form the chief work of the Reichstag. The
bill concerning the acquisition OF HeligO-
land and the financial plans of the Govern
ment, by which the increased army expendi-
lures are to be met, will remain undisclosed
until the winter session.
Sir Edward Malet, the British Ambassa-
dor, had an important conference with Chan
eellor Won Caprivi yesterday on the subject
of the opposition of the French Government
to the East African agreement. The note of /
NJ Ribot, the French Minister of Foreign |
Affairs, protesting against the establishment |
of a protectorate over Zanzibar, affects the |
German claims to the Littoral within the |
Sultanate, aud so the proposed acquisition of |
Malta. The conference resulted in an agree
ment to take simultaneous action in opposing
the right of France to interfere.
ENGLAND REPLIES TO FRANCE.
The English Government has prepared q
reply to NJ. Ribot to the effect that if the
Sultan accepts the protection of England or
any other power the treaty of 1862 gives
France no right to object. and further that
the Anglo-German arrangement does not
attack the independence of the Sultan, pro-
lection not involving subsection. The En-
glish note will be presented to NJ. Ribot
early next week and will be supported by
diplomatic intimation of Germany's con-
currence. The French press reports that |
Lord Salisbury's reply was handed to M.
Ribot to-day are untrue.
The ReichSdnzeiger to-day vindicates the |
Anglo-German agreement as made in the |
interest Of the German East Africa Com |
pany. Instead Of neglecting the interests |
of the company, the Government, after the |
transfer of the coast line with Malta, will |
assist the company 10 colonize, and the |
Germans who are trying to develop trade |
and agriculture on the coast will frd ample |
support from the Government. The article |
is obviously a response to remarks made by |
Prince Bismarck to deputation that |
waited upon him recently. England, he |
said, would crush the German trade in |
East Africa.
RENEWING THE TREATY.
The renewal of the Dreibund until 1895 |
has been the subject of negotiations between
Signor Crispi, the italian Premier, and
Count Ralnoky, the Austro- Hungarian
Prime Minister. The new treaty, though |
unsigned, is effectively assured, the commu-
nications which have already been ex-
changed committing the Governments to the |
extension of the period of the compact.
Prime Minister Crispi accelerated the re-
newAl of the agreement by calling General
Won Caprivi's attention to the attacks made
upon Italy by DR.. Windthorst and the tao
tics of the German elericals in attempting
70 limit the alliance to Austria. General |
Won Capriyi seized the occasion of the de- |
bate on the army bill to declare that the al |
lance with Italy would continue, even if |
SigDor Crispi were rot Premier. Although |
Crispi represents guarantees of peace, an
other Italian Minister might find himself |
confronted by serious difficulty.
BULGARIA's BAD PREDIcAMENT.
The Porte has sent private special envovs |
10 Berlin. vienna and London on special |
mission relating to the demand for Bulga- |
rian independence, which are concurrent |
with Russia's insistence upon the immedi- |
diste payment of 80, 100000 francs war in
demnity. The policy OF NJ. Stambulof, the |
Bulgarian Prime Minister, is obscure. He |
appears to be awaiting the developments of |
the coming imperial interviews. Prince |
Ferdinand arrived at Vienna yesterday. |
He saw no one except his brother, Prince !
Philip of Coburg. He went to Munich to- |
day after consulting Viennese doctors. His |
friends say that the doctors advised him to
take prolonged rest
Russia is reported to be preparing to back |
up her demand for the payment of the in
demnlty by sending the Black Sea feet
into Turkish waters.
