Tho Russian Army Spelling for a
 Fight With Spmeisly.

LONDON, May l,-St Petersburg ad vices represent the feeling of the Russian iriny as strongly in favor of war, not with anybody in particular, but with someboiy iy
 The only public opinion in Russia is thnt of the army and dcspote as the Czar is in sheory, he like his predecessors, finds it iiiiicult. if Tot impossible, to resist the army influence. Coupled with the manGuv- CTS near the Austrian border, which will draw together an immense force of troops from different parts of the ouipire is the hostile tone assumed by Russia toward the Porte, aud the virtual threat of an in vasion of tte Turkish dominions in Asia should Russian demands remain Iusatisfied. These circumstances, and the agitation in- cited by Russia in Servia and Bulgaria, arouse great anxiety as to the probable turn of events in the near future, The Novo Nremya of St. Petersburg states that the new Russian Ambassador to Persia will conclude a new commercial treaty be tween Persia and Russia. This. il says, has become necessary, us every year over 100, 00o ooa roubles worth of English cotton goods with Persian trade marks are i'm ported into trans Caspian Russia.

United States has not subsidized. 1t in

showing that the prevalent opinion in
the mother country is that the United

to be indifferent, is aiming At annexation.
"Ths party in favor OF annexation is
growing every day. II embraces all the
liberal and discontented elements of the

the old Republican party, which has
made so many efforts to establish the in
| dependence Of the Island. AL now see

| WINGED that before long Cubn will enter
