Ski, Austrian Minister of Foreign At
fairs, returned to ISchl for the purpose
of holding an interview with Emperor
Francis Joseph, after having had a
conference with Prince Hohenlohe, the
German Chancellor, at the latter'S cha
teau at Alt-Ausse and reached Vienna
on Thursday. On the day of his return
to Vienna Count GoluchowsM had an
interview with Count Nigri, the Italian
ambassador to Austria, and since then
Count Nigri has been summoned to

the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
These comings and goings of diplomatic
notables has not been attributed to any
other cause than the gravity OF the sit
uation in the East. a concert of the
powers has failed to perfect any result,
as has already been stated, and the
events which are now taking place COM
lletely overwhelm diplomacy.
According to Geographic advices re-
ceived here yesterday the rising of the
insurgents in Macedonia has become
extremely formidable. Greece, While
pretending to take stringent measures
against any Greeks engaging in raid
on the Macedonian frontier, has allowed
upward of 600 men, all of them armed
with EbeI rifles, to enter Macedonia
from Greek territory. These men, after
surprising and cutting to pieces the
Turkish troops at MOussa, succeeded
in repulsing a strong force of Turkish
soldiers which had been sent from Sa-
lonica to re-enforce the Moussa troops.
A dispatch to the ''Vossische Zeitung"
says that the Redifs (reserves) who have
been called out under an trade from the
Sultan are showing a disposition to re-
volt in consequence of the fact that their
Fay is very much in arrears and the ra-
tionS which are being issued to them are
very bad in quality and very small in
quantity.
A special dispatch received by the
''Neue Erie Press from Salonica on
Thursday says that statements made by
the Turkish officials concerning the sit
uation are all calculated to conceal the
desperate condition OF affairs in Mace
donia. Hard fighting is going on nearly
every day at Drumnits Sores and at
nearly all points in the mountains. The
Turkish reserves at Prisrend Preshtima
and elsewhere in that section are being
equipped and sent to the front as rap
idly as possible, and it is estimated that
the total number of Turkish troops con-
centrated on the Macedonian and Bull
garian frontiers exceeds 1000 men.
Even this force, however has not been
found sufficient to make any Roadway
against the instruction which, under
n1rx 1xr
achieved by the insurgents in the field
is becoming stronger every day. Stimu-
lated by these and similar reports, semi
official newspaper organs like the North
German Gazette and the Cologne
Gazette" reproduced an article from
the Cologne Gazette" which declares
that unless the powers interfere in an
energetic way, instead of submitting
proposals to the Porte, the troubles in
Crete and Macedonia will never end.
The ''Reichsbote" Conservative pub
fishes letter written by a German lady
living at Monastir, wherein the writer
narrates atrocities which are practiced
there every day without the slightest
attempt at interference upon the part
of the authorities. Among the horrors
of which the lady treats in her commu-
nication she details the facts of Turks
outraging Macedonian women and girls
publicly in the streets before the eyes of
their husbands and parents. This let
ter has stirred up a strong feeling of
public indignation here. more in fact
than the outrages and massacres in Ar
xnenia-
The "Reichsbote," in an article quot
ing the letter, appeals to the officials to
interfere In behalf OF the Macedonians
and Cretans in the interests of human
lily.
