New Arrangement Of the Greatest
Political Interest.
FINE HAND OF GERMANY,
Offensive aud Defensive Alliance on
Behalf OF Turkey -Husso-Ausirlan
Compact Weakened.

New York Dec ga special to the
Herald from Vienna says.
Reports which have arrived here from
Bucharest give am account Of a new
condgurauon Of the Balkans Of the
greatest political interest which, II It
should turn ont to be true, will throw
curious light on the relations Of Ger
many and Austria TO Russia.
1t is stated In the Bucharest press
that al the suggestion Of Count Won
Buelow an offensive and defensive al
lance has been concluded between Tur-
key and RoumanIa, which was directed
against any power which would try to
disturb the peace in the Balkans
This Is perhaps only designed to dis.
tract Russia's attention TO a certain de-
gree from the Chinese problem.
With a view TO parslyzing this alli-
ance an entente has been arrived at
between servIa and Bulgaria under the
patronage Of Russia
In well Informed circles in Vienna the
news was at first registered without
comment but the fact that the inf0rma-
ton has been circulated allows Of the
conclusion being drawn that the con-
venton between Russia and Austria
regarding the Balkans is no longer as
solid as IL formerly was.
