eminent Viewed With D~istrust.
Vienna, May 14.-The Austro-Hun-
garian squadron has been ordered 10
leave Salonica. The turret ship Wien,
will, however. remain there.
The request of Prince Ferdinand OF
Bulgaria for an audience with EN-.
peror Francis Joseph apparently has
been refused. Prince Ferdinand has
passed through Vienna and Budapesf
returning to Sofia, where he arrived
Wednesday. While here he had no
communication with the Austrian for
eign office.
Recent happenings in Macedonia
have by no means strengthened the
princes position, and it is a question
in official circles here whether the
real authority of Sofia is not now
lodged in the Macedonian committees.
The chief danger in the Balkans Is
now thought to lie in the turbulence OF
the Turkish population. whose fury
| against the Christians threatens to
| start a confiagration. The attitude OF
| the Turkish government is viewed
with much distrust by diplomats here.
It is feared that Turkey will permit
the massacre of Christians, thereby
enabling the Moslems to expend their
wrath.
Immediate developments are await
ed with the greatest anxiety.
The our of Turkey are said to
be so strained as to compel the adj
vance against the Albanians to he
! suspended. 1t is believed that the
mobilization Of 100, 900 men was only
effected with the aid of the sultan's
private purse. The sultan has Just
consulted the former vizier. Said
Pacha, on the situation. and it Is re.
ported that his maiestv has summoned
a financial commission to consider
negotiations to effect the payment OF
the troops in Macedonia and Albania,
the army contractors having refused
further supplies.
