the general impression that Great Bri-

government learned that several German

to forestall the Germans.

1t is Now Thought that it Will be Diff

Copyright. 1897, by Associated Press
Berlin, April 24-The war between
Greece and Turkey monopolizes public
attention in Germany. The opinion is
expressed in political and diplomatic cir
cles that the war will not finish soon
AMI that it will not remain localized very
long 1t is stated in government circles
that German interests have already been
vitality engaged and it seems to be a
forcgone conclusion, whatever the final
outcome of the persent troubles, that
the political readjustment of the oriental
question will also lead to a reimbursement
of the Powers alliances. The Entente
between Germany and Austria on one
side sid Russia and France on the other,
will, it is believed, become much closer
in the near future. The pour parlers
between Prince Hohenlihe, the imperial
chancellor. and NJ Hanotaux. the
French Minister for Foreign Affairs,

mutual attitude of Germany and France

The main efforts of the Powers will
be directed to keeping the war confined

Greece all will be well, but if Greece
meets with even temporary success all
will lie chaos, as there are good reasons
to suspect that Bulgaria. Servia and
Montenegro are only waiting for
chance to break loose, especially Bull
garia, which is laundering after Mace

,bhe visit of Prince Ferdinand. of But
garia TO Berlin was even of more
than ordinary Importance. The Princes
audience with the Emperor was not
satisfactory. His majesty strongly dis
suaded the Prince from engaging in war
like enterprises, and plainly warned him
of the unpleasant consequences. Prince
FerninaEd, however, was apparently
not discouraged, for he entered into
negotiations with Berlin financiers for
raising a Bulgarian loan. and also en-
tered into negotiations with the Krupps
for Il supply of quick firing and heavy
guns.
