What De Giers Says.

BERLIN, July 5.-[Copyright 1890 by the
New York Associated Press. There are
growing signs of the impending storm in
the Balkans. The situation isiso grave
that the holiday vacations of the leading
officials OF the foreign Office have been
stopped. A momentous change appears to
have occurred in Germany's policy in the
Balkans. Instead of pursuing the semi
neutral diplomacy of Prince Bismarck, the
Emperor has directed Herr Radowitch
to take the initiative in advising the
Porte how to meet the Indemnity
claims of Bulgaria and Russia.
Instructed through Chancellor Caprivi
Rado, witch has promised the Porte an
early solution of the Bulgarian trouble in
accordance with the Berlin treaty and also
that an endeavor will be made to meet the
Russian war indemnity. The Emperor's
scheme of settlement according to The ac-
cepted report in diplomatic circles,
involves displacing Prince Ferdinand
and the substitution of Prince Karl
OF Sweedon as ruler of Bulgaria
in his stead, and also an arrangement of
the Russian indemnity by the capitalizing
amount through the international council
of administration, which now controls

hams conference with Prince Oscar at
Chrlstiana. Though the financial proposals
have not been formally communicated to
Russia, it is already reported that De Giers,
Russian prime minister, has received an in
tlmation of their nature with the express
sion that they were not satisfactory
to Russia, he stating that Russia did not
want TO be concerned in rearranging the
Turkish debt and preferred to hold the
Porte directly TO its engagements. His re

war debt. a general explosion in the Bal
kanS may occur before the powers have
time TO consider Emperor Williams pro
posas.
Greece and Servia have added to the
general imbroglio, by each presenting
notes to the Porte to the effect that anv
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 Servians to
continuous outrage and demands instant
remedy. a rising in Bulgaria is likely at
any moment to give the signal for a
general contlagration. Colonel Nicolaeff.

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 kalnony, the Austro- Hungary
prime minister, will also recruit his health.
After his recovery, the Hamburger NacErich
ten says, Bismarck will not enter the rechi-
stag. If he is driven to oppose the govern
ment he would prefer to represent a
National Liberal constituency, he now being
more IN sympathy with that party than
with the Conservatives.
Despite of the opposition in the English
parliament to the Anglo-Gernan agree
ment relative to African territory, it is
considered here absolutely safe. The Ger
