BERLIN, July 5.-There are growing
signs of an impending storm in the Balk-
ans. The situation is so grave that the hol-
iday vacations OF the leading officials of the
foreign office here have been stopped. Herr
Won Radowitz, the German Ambassador at
Constantinople. who was about to start for
Kissingen, has been directed to remain at
his post. Sir William White, the British
Ambassador to the Porte, who was just be-
ginning at Gastein furlough to last sew
eral months, hurried back to Constantinople
after having long interview with the EN-
peror of Austria. The Gear has also counter
manded the congo OF NJ. Nelidof. the Rus
sian Ambassador. A momentous change
appears to have occurred in Germany's pol
icy in the Bal kans. Instead of pursuing
the semi neutral diplomacy of Prince Bis
marck, the Emperor has directed Herr Rad
owitz to take the initiative in advising tine
Porte how to meet the contending claims of
Bulgaria and Russia. Instructed through
Chancellor Won Caprivi, Herr Radowitz has
promised the Porte an early solution OF the
Bulgarian trouble in harmony with the
Berlin treaty, and also that an endeavor
will be made to meet the Russian war in
demnity.
DOES NOT MEET WITH APPROVAL.
The Emperor's scheme of settlement, ac-
cording to the accepted report in the diplo-
matte circle, involves the displacing OF
Prince Ferdinand and the substitution of
Prince Karl of Sweden as ruler of Bull
garia in his stead, and also an arrangement
Of the Russian indemnity by capitalizing
the amount through the International Coun-
Gil of Administration, which now controls
the Turkish loans. The scheme seems to
have received impetus from Emperor Will
Jams conference with Prince Oscar
at Christiana. Though the financial
proposals have not been formally COM
municated to Russia, it is already
reported that NJ. De Giers. the Russian
Prime Minister, has received an intimation
OF their nature with an expression that they
were not satisfactory to Russia, he stating
| that Rusaia did not want to be concerned in
reaIranging the Turkish debt, and preferred
to hold the Porte directly to its engage
ments. His response means that Russia
will not let go her grip on Turkeys neck,
given by the war debt. A general explo-
sion in the Balkans may occur before the
Powers have time to consider Emperor Will
Jams proposals.
OTHER POWERS INTERESTED.
Greece and Servia have added to the gen.
eral embroglio by each presenting notes to
the Porte to the effect that any concession to
Bulgaria would require similar concessions
to the Greek and Servian nationalities The
Servian note also declares that the absence
of law and order in Macedonia exposes Ser
vians to continu lus outrage and demands
an instant remedy. A rising in Bulgaria is
likely at any moment to give the signal FOR
general confagration. Colonel Nicolaieff,
Major Panitzas' brother-in-law, who is
among the most personal of officers In the
Bulgarian army, is somewhere in Mace
donia watching chance to start a revolt.
NJ. Stambuloff, the Prime Minister, who
is now virtually dictator of Bulgaria, relies
upon his brother-in-law, Colonel Montkour.
off, who holds the chief command in the
army, TO prevent rising. The letter OF
Prince Alexander of Battenberg, to Major
Panitza's widow, offering to adopt her child,
has added fire to the discomfort with the
present regime. A Bulgarian delegation
arrived at Pesth yesterday. They are going
to hold conference with Prince Alexander.
WILL NOT ENTER THE REIcHsTAG.
The renouncing of Prince Bismarck's
visit to England is due to the altered aspect
of foreign affairs. He will go to his estates at
Schonhausen, and thence to Gastein, where
Count Kalnoky, the Austro- Hungarian
Prime Minister, will also recruit his health.
After his recovery, the Hdmburgher Mach
richten SAYS Prince Bismarck will not enter
the Rechstag. If be is driven to oppose
the Government he would prefer to repre-
sent National Liberal constituency, he
now being more in sympathy with that
party than with the Conservatives.
Despite the strength of the opposition in
the English Parliament the Anglo Ger
man agreement relative to African territory
is considered here to be absolutely safe.
Count Won Hatzfeldt, the German Ambas-
sador at London, has the assurance OF Lord
Salisbury that the Government is causing
its supporters to know that it will stand or
fall by the compact. and has secured a
normal majority. The French reports of n
secret clause in the treaty committing
England to a naval intervention in the
North Sea and the Baltic in favor of Ger
many in the event of war are incorrect, al
though an entente exists amounting to a con-
certed policy against France and Russia.
ACHANCE FOR AMERICAN PORK.
The Reichsanzeiger to-day announces the
removal OF the prohibition against the i'm
portatlon of Danish pork and bacon sides.
Live pigs will be admitted under certih-
cate OF health from the German sanitary in
spectors. The removal of these restrictions
will afford grounds for a renewal OF Minister
Phelps communications concerning Ameri-
can trade.
The period of the state of seige expired in
Leipsic on Tuesday. Herr Liebknecht and |
a large number of Socialists who were ex-
pelled are returning and taking part in the |
ietes undisturbed by the police. Herr Lieb- |
knecht will come to Berlin in the autumn. |
He has now become the sole center of the |
Revolutionary party.
The FTeiSiRnige Zeitung asserts that En-
peror William, on his journey from Berlin |
to Kiel on the night of June "a, had long |
interview with Prince Bismarck at Schwarz- |
enbach, the station before reaching Fried |
richsruhe. The statement is doubtful.
