KIND WORDS FOR. ENGLAND
New Cue Taken by Germany
After the AuStrian'S Visit.
BRITAIN IS GOOD TO ITALY
Press Changes Front and There Is
General Denial That International
Relations Are Strained.

Berlin, March 15.-Count Ciolucho wsI
Austrian minister of foreign affairs, has re-
turned to Vienna from his visit 20 Berlin.
He took The route by the way of Dresden,
where he held brief conversation with
Dr. Schurg, president Of the council OF
ministers Of Saxony. and Herr Won Seyde-
WITT, SaxoBy's minister Of public instruc-
ton. who awaited his arrival at the station.
The results OF the Austrian foreign
minister's mission here have become dis
tinctly visible in the changed tone of the
semi-officiaI press in regard TO the rela-
lions between Germany aud England.
The cue seems To have been given TO deny
that any differences have existed bet ween
the governments OF Berlin aud London or
else to ignore that fact of there having been
any strain in their relat ions, which
threatened q definite enlargement OF the
two countries.
CHANGE OF FRONT.
The North German Gazette, which as
recently as last Tuesday accused England
OF encouraging the French desire for revenge
upon Germany and the English newspapers
OF rejoicing at the prospect of rupture OF
the Dreibund. referred yesterday 10 Eng
lands active sympathy with Italy, treating
the matter from the standpoint OF ap-
provai Of EngI3nd's course.
Still more significant is the fact that
The Gazette has not single word TO say
suggesting the existence now or heretofore
of any strain i'll tie relations between Eng
land and 6 Germany.
Another example of the German change
of front is shown in the Weser Zeitung OF
Bremen, which publishes a Eeriin inspired
note upon the theme, England wishes to
maintain Egypt" lit is in tie interest
of Germany" the note observes ITO pre-
serve the balance OF power in the Mediter-
raneaD, and this can best be Gone by
maintaining the status quo in Egypt. The
securit of the Dreibund would be increased
If the naval power OF England should re-
inforcc The ItaIo-AustriIu position
Finally the article arg6eS that the
interests OF the Dreibund and England are
so NUT tuaily independent that no quarrel
over the Transvaal ought to be suffered TO
imperil these interests.
BOAST HIS SUCCESS.
The semi-official newspapers in Austria
Hungary boast Of the success OF Count
Goluchowski in achieving a perfect under
standing with the German Emperor in re-
gard to the relations between the Drel-
bund and England and also upon other
questions. The Pesther Lloyd says that
the Dreibund is safe and has the corollary
of the frieudliness of England.
as rtSdfuS tite prosecution o. the = bySSln-
ian campaign by Italy the Austro-German Ii
official view of the matter has undergone a
change. Instead OF advising a cOnjinu-
ance of active operations in Africa until a
signal victory shall viudicate the prOwess
OF italy it is now held that it would be best
to limit the scope OF Italian occupation in
| Africa to the triangle formed by .Nmara,
Keren, and Massowah, hold the line 10
| Ka ssala and make peace with King
| Menelk.
This plan, it is expected here, will be
| the substance OF the opening coTumunica ton
OF the Marquis Di Rudint, the new italian
! premier, to the Italian chambers upon their
| assembling this week.
