STORM CLOUD IN THE EAST.
DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES IN EUROPE
GREATLY AGITATED.

of Horrible Atrocities OF the Ruth
less Turk, and interference of the
Powers Is Demanded.
Berlin, July 2s.-Count Goluchowski. Aus
trian minister OF foreign affairs. has re-
turned to Ischl for the purpose of holding
an interview with Emperor Francis JOS
eph. after having had a conference with
Prince Hohenlohe, the German chancellor
at the latter's chateau at Alt-Ausse, and
reached Vienna on Thursday. On the day
of his return to Vienna, Count Goluchow-
ski held an interview with Count Nigra,
! the Italian ambassador to Austria, and
since then Count Nlgra has been summon
ed to Rome by the Marquis Visconti-Ve-
nosta, the Italian minister Of foreign af-
fairs. These comings and goings Of diplo-
matte chiefs cannot be attributed to any
! thing else than the gravity of the situa-
tions in the east. A concert Of the powers
has failed to effect any good results. as
has already been stated, and the events
| which are now taking place completely
overwhelm diplomacy.
According to telegraphic advices reeeiv-
ed here yesterday. the rising of the in
/ surgents in Macedonia has become ex-
/ tremely formidable. Greece, while pre-
/ tending to take stringent measures
against any persons engaging in a raid
/ upon the Macedonian frontier, has al
! lowed upwards of 600 men, all of them
armed with Lebel rifles, to enter Mace
donia from Greek territory. These men
| after surprising and cutting to pieces the
Turkish troops at Moussa, succeeded in
repulsing a strong force Of Turkish SOL
] CO..
! TO reinforce the MOussa troops.
! a dispatch to the VOssiche Zeitung says
! that the Redifs (reserves) who have been
! called out under an trade from the Sultan,
are showing a disposition to revolt in con-
sequence of the fact that their pay Is
very much in arrears, and the rations
| which are being Issued to them are very
bad In quality, and very small IN guam
tity. A special dispatch received by the
| Neue Freie Presse from Salonica on
| Thursday, says that the statements made
| by the Turkish officials concerning the
| situation, are all calculated to conceal the
| desperate condition of affairs in Mace
dOnia.
Hard fighting is going on almost every
day at Drumnitz Series and all points
in the Perrin mountains. The Turkish re-
| serves at Prizrend Breshtima and else
where in that section are being equipped
| and sent to the front ae rapidly as possl-
bic, and it Is estimated that the number
| Of Turkish troops concentrated on the
| Macedonian and Bulgarian frontiers ex-
ceeds $1,000 men. Even this fOree,ar how
ever, has not been found sufficient to make
| headway against the insurrecton, Whicn,
under the influence of successes already
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,
are taking a more definite tone in their ar
ticles commenting upon the gravity of
| the situation.
The North German Gazette reproduced
1 an article from the Cologne Gazette which
declares that until 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 publishes a let
ter written by a German lady living at
| Monasur. wherein the writer narrates
| atrocities which are practical there every
| day without the slightest attempt at inter-
| ference on the part of the authorities.
! Among the horrors treated in her COM
muni cation, she details the facts of Turks
| outraging Macedonian women in the
| streets before the eyes of their husbands
and fathers. This letter has stirred up a
strong feeling of Indignation here more
in fact, than the remoter massacres and
atrocities in Armenia. The Reichsbote
in its article accompanying the letter, ap-
| peals TO the powers to cease their jeal-
| ousies and interfere in behalf of the Mace
| domains and Cretans in the interest of hu-
! manity.
The Bismarckian organs, on the other
| hand are strongly opposed to any policy
of Interference on the part of Germany
The Neuste NachTichten declares that the
| powers must continue on their agreement
to maintain Turkish rule IN Crete and Ma
cedonia, which the insurgents are trying
to shake off If they continue their efforts
TO throw off the Turkish yoke. the paper
adds. they must suffer the consequences.
Europe cannot stake the peace of the
world on their account.
The case of NJ Herbette, formerly
! French ambassador to Germany, who was
recently recalled from Berlin by his gov
| ernment on account of his imperial and
social disiaVor mere, is parallelled by the
case of NJ. Loze, French ambassador to
| Austria NJ LoZe owed his appointment TO
the post in Vienna, to his knowledge of Sc
crets which seriously affected members Of
the French ministry, which informa-
ton he acquired while holding the
office of prefect of police. These secrets
| relate to the Reinach scandals in the
| Panama canal case, which the ministry
| suppressed by the appointment of NJ. Loze
| to represent France at the Austrian court.
! His career as an attorneys clerk and a
| police official, which became known In
| Vienna, injured his chances of being ac-
/ cepted in society at the very outset, ana
| his defective manners exposed him to no
| end of ridicule. Nine. LoZe, his wife was
greatly more refined than he and made a
| social success, but Austrian aristocracy,
which is extremely exclusive, would not
| tolerate NJ. Loze He made a complete
failure as a diplomat, and has now been
| recalled.
DR.. Luetgenan, the socialist deputy in
| the Reichstag, in a speech delivered to the
! socialists of Essen yesterday declared
that the socialists had no definite pro.
| gramme their primary object being to
| destroy the existing society and govern
! rnent When the downfall of these instt-
| tutions had been achieved, then the 40
| cialfsts would formulate a platform upor
which they would build. The Vorweafts
| the leading socialist organ, declares that
| the delegates comprising the coming in
| ternatfona1 social congress in London. will
| sfeadfastly refuse to admit anarchists into
| tbe congress. The Neuste Nachrichtnn
declares that this declaration of the Vor-
| and anarchists, the Nachrichten declares
are brothers. only the latter are more
! natient about attaining their aims If
| he barriers of society should ever he
thrown down. the Nachrichten adds. the
| anarchists Will reap what the socialists
