Pope Won't Receive President Loubet.

Rome, May Pres. Louhct of
France will visit Rome shortly after
the visit of the Gar. The Pope, after
consulting with the cardinals, has de-
cidcd not to receive the French Prcsi-
dent. This decision will be semi-of-
fcially communicated to France in tho
hope that M. Loubct will not ask for
an interview with His Holiness.
1t is feared, however, that he will ask
for one in order to court refusal,
which is certain if Prime Minister
Combes, who is enforcing the Religious
Associations law. is still in office when
NJ. Lounet comes here.
The Pope's refusal to receive the
President Of France will certainly lead
to Il diplomatic rupture between the
Vatican and tie French government
and the abolition of the Ccncordat.

London May 1.-The British govern
ment'8 attitude in the Balkan crisis
may be summed up as being one OF
passive Indifference. 1t is pointed out
at the foreign Office here that Great
Britain is not bound by any treaties
to interfere in behalf of Bulgaria. AL
though she was chiefly responsible for
bringing Bulgaria into existence, Great
Britain never undertook the preserva-
ton of BUlGaria's interests, though she
is pledged to maintain the integrity Of
the Ottoman empire. :.
Forcign Secretary LansdoWnc will
use every effort to avoid cntangling
Great Britain in the present impending
difficulties in the far East.
Paris, May 7.-Thc situation through
out the Balkans causes serious appre-
hCnsion here. but the French office says
the conditions arc not regarded as be
ing critical and are considered to be
largely the result of Turkish intrigue.
Official advicos show that Turkey is
threatening to adopt radical discipline
nry measures against Bulgaria.
It is the intention of the government
here 10 send French naval division
10 Salonica, as Il measure of nrccau
ton, and in order to be prepared for
Il possible spread of the disorder.
Dispatches from Toulon say the
French warships will leave there, to-
night. but the foreign office officials
assert that the departure of the ships
will probably be postponed. so as to
await the developments of the next few
days.
