Berlin. Nov. 17.-Prince Won Hohenlohe, |
since his conference with the emperor on /
Thursday, has intimated to Count Golu- /
chowski, Austrian minister Of foreign al /
fairs, that Germany Will consent to dis
cuss the question of united action on the !
part of the European powers toward Tur- !
key. so far as providing protection to
Christians and maintaining order are
concerned. Although this assent does not |
commit Germany 10 any definite policy
beyond participating in negotiations, it
stin marks considerable change in the
official attitude of the government, which
has hitherto been reluctant to admit that
anything like coercion Of the sultan is
likely to be necessary. The expectation
which is entertained in official quarters
that this decision of the government will
influence the sultan, is based upon the
belief that the kaiser retains the friend
ship and confidence of the Turk
ish emperor. Since he and the en-
ress visited constantinople in 1889 the
German emperor is the only European
monarch the sultan has personally met
and the two sovereigns have, ever since
the visit, exchanged friendly greetings.
But the most potent factor in convincing
the sultan Of the desire Of Germany for a
policy of moderate Intervention in Tur
key is the information which has been
conveyed through Prince Radolin, the
German ambassador at st. Petersburg,
that the overtures made by Italy and
Great Britain looking TO the adoption of
extreme measures have been rejected as
being inopportune. The idea advanced
by Baron Blanc, the Italian minister Of
foreign affairs, which is believed to be
supported by Lord Salisbury, that Eng
land should establish a coalition with the
dreibund in the event OF the breaking up
of the Ottoman empire, has not COM
mended itself to the Berlin government
as being in the meantime worthy Of
discussion, and the tone of the
semi-official press is in consonance with
the policy of the government.
