:, NEW WAR SCARE.
, VIENNA, June 15.-The echoes OF TIN
sensational speech which was made yes
terday by the Austrian minister of war
Baron von Bauer, are reverberatins
through Europe to the considerable con
, sternation of people who are easily fright
ened. Baron Won Bauer's concluding
words:
"Things as they are can not last long
there must be catastrophe or general
publication"
Are interpreted as meaning that either
war or disarmament is inevitable in the
near future. As the latter proposition is
impossible, the alternative idea of war
has renewed the old scare, although with
probably as little reason as on former
occasions.
