i.h TO Join Hands With the Drei-
bund-Lord SaIisbury's Speech Well
Rrcefved at the German Capital.
u -lin, Nov. 1O.-The declarations Of
Lord Salisbury, in his speech upon the
occasion Of the banquet of the lord mayor
a. London last night, and the official
--atement made by NJ. Berthelot, the
Wrench minister of foreign affairs, in
Paris. sum up everything of an official
character which is known here in regard
t. the eastern situation. The reticenee Of
oue foreign Office remains nearly abso-
lutte. and no information conveying the
slightest idea of the general position is
pei mitted TO leak out. Since Austria. un-
der the approval of Germany entered the
European concert. the semi-official press
says the situation has cleared up very
materially. The sultan knows Austria's
power and disposition to take immediate
action and breads that more than any
other thing that has yet menaced him,
and in consequence these papers assert,
is prepared to cOncede anything that may
be demanded of the porte. Although
Germany has Joined the European league,
she certainly has not committed herself
10 any project contemplating
European prOtectorate over Turkey, the
occupation of Armenia by Russia or any
other scheme which would involve any
interference at the present time with the
powers Of the sultan within his own do
mains, and the North German Gazette
declares that the Christian inhabitants
Of Turkey, in the meantime, will be in no
wise endangered.
The correspondent Of the Tageblatt in
ConsI Iahtlnople telegraphs to his paper,
That he is in a position to affirm that no
Warhhe complications are likely TO arise
from the Armenian trouble, and behind
THIS soothing sem-official assertions re
mains a combination of unexplained facts
suggesting that it Is the intention of Ger
many TO play the part of the honest brok-
er IN the matter. The principal one of
these facts is the action of Count Golu-
choWski, the Austrian secretary of state
Tor foreign affairs IN first making over
lures to Lord Salisbury, calling attention
TO the fact that 1t would greatly strength
en- the position of England If the triple-
alliance should be taken into the alliance
OF the powers for the Turkish question
under the condition that Austria would
institute operations If required, to protect
the Macedonian population, Austria's geo
graphical position enabling her to do so
at moments notice. The assent of the
English premier to this virtual proposal
was obtained under Lord Salisbury's S con-
Viction that England would require a
strong backing against the coalition of
Russia ana France, when the time should
arrive Tor the partitioning of Turkey In
view of all this while peace reigns for the
moment under cautious ministerial utter
ances, nobody believes that the Turk will
be able to weather the crisis which con
fronts him very much longer 1t is thought
that the paramount interest in the pres
ent position to the highest official circle d.
here lies in the hope that the policy now
being pursued Will forc9 England into the
Drelbund. England has always been
ready to seize advantages from the Cen
Iral european coalition without commit

A seni-oficial paper in Hamburg. the
Correspondence asks what practical
meaning lies in the declaration Of the
Englsh government that England will
maintain her policy. What policy? The
triple alliance, the paper continues has
not wanted nor does 1t now want war
and Russia and France would not go very
lar merely to help Armenia. The situa-
ton In Eastern Asia has also to be con
