The Safety of the Dreibund Thought to BE

Changes.
Berlin. March 15.-rhe results OF the
mission here of Count Gouluchowski. the
Austrian minister of foreign affairs, has
become distinotiyely visible in the
changed tone of the semi -officialapress in
regard to the relations between Germany
and England. The cue seems to have
been given to deny that serious differ
ences have existed between the govern
ments at London and Berlin. The North
German Gazette, which Tuesday accused
England of encouraging the French de-
sire for revenge upon Germany, and the
English newspapers of rejoicing at the
prospect of the Dreibund, referred yester-
day to England s active sympathy with
Italy; treating the matter from stand
point of appro val of England's course.
Weser Zeitung of Bremen, published a
Berlin inspired note upon the matter.
note observes, to preserve the balance Of
power in the Mediterranean. This can
best be done by maintaining the status
quo in Egypt. The security of the Drei-
bund would be increased if the naval
power of England should reinforce the
Italo-Austrian position" F" The article

and England are SO materially independ-
ent that no quarrel over the Transvaal
ought to be suffered to imperil these in

standing with the German Emperor in
regard to the relations between the Drei-
bund and Engl and. and also upon other
questions.
The Spesth er Lloyd says the Dreibund

friendliness OF England. AS regards the
prosecution of the Abyssinian campaign
by Italy the Austro- German officials view
of the matter has undergone change.
Instead of advising the continuance of
active operations in Africa until signal
victory shall vindicate the prowess of
Italy, it is held tnat it would be best to
limit the scope Of Italian occupation in
Africa to triangle formed by Amsara,
Keron and Massowah, to hold the line
to Kassala ana to make peace with King
Menelek.
This plan, it is expected here, will be
