BERLIN, May 1.-The correspondent in
this city of the Associated Press has had
an interview with the Austrian ambassa-
dor here, Count Won Scziogyeny- Marich.
on the Eastern question. The ambassador
said:
The meetings of the rulers of Austria,
Germany, Russia and France were mainly
for two purposes. to re-estabilsh peace in
the Orient. and to come to joint UNDER
standing as TO the steps To be taken in
case hostilities break out afresh in the
Orient or elsewhere, notably South Af-
rica. The conviction rules that there are
enough mutual interests to protect among
those powers and Italy TO make a specific
understanding and agreement on the SUBJ
Ject necessary. Greece will undoubtedly

and forbearance for Greece. Turkey will
not do more. nor Will she be permitted TO

Greece II no match for Turkey and she
Will have TO learn that or suffer therefor.
As for things in South Africa, the con-
fnentaI powers have the same peaceful
and just aim 10 maintain the present
status, resting upon international agree
meits, which cannot be broken with inn
punity by either Great Britain. the Trans

Britain will not be permitted 10 annex the
Transvaal or 20 destroy It's independence.
The remonstrances of the continental
powers will soon be presented to Great
Britain. and no doubt they viii have the
