EUROPE'S NEXT MORNING
How the Conclusion of the Venezue-
Ian Imbroglio Is Regarded
on the Continent.

Vienna, Feb. 16.-The Allgemaine lei
.tung declares that the settlement of the
Venezuelan imbroglio cannot be regarded
otherwise than as a great political success
for. the Americans and still greater one
for the Monroe doctrine. NotWithstand-
ing the aspirations and independence
manifested by the Southern and Central
American republics, the United States al
ready controls the hegenlony Of the entire
western hemisphere, and CONSTITUTES the
Monroe doctrine in practice, as it has long
done In theory, to mean America for the
Americans This is a danger-for Europe
is powerless to oppose it. There was dis
played a nervous anxiety to placate Amer
lean diplomacy. The powers interested
looked on enviously Even the allies
wished to get rid of each other. Europe
was united on only one point, namely:
Her desire not to arouse the antipathy Of
the Americans. The European powers
crawled before the Yankees. The people
in Washington must have laughed in their
sleeves. 1t is easy to see the danger that
the future holds. Hence forth all ras-
cally little states in Central and South
America will know that as regards their
European creditors every liberty is per-
MISSILE because in case Of need the
United States will cover them with the
aegis of the Monroe doctrine and will
negotiate for them and wiring out fol
them the most favorable conditions wher
anything 1naladroit politically occurs
One cannot help thinking of Prince Bis
marck and his sagacious description Of
the Monroe doctrine as indescribable i'm
pertinence. He was right and Europe will
realize it one of these days.

NEWS FROM THE FRONT
Austria Said to Be MobIlizing Two Army
Corps.


London, Feb. 16.-The correspondent Of
the Daily Mail at Vienna says that Aus
tria has modified two army corps and has
an extra 100000 men on the Balkan border.
Military men believe that an armed inter-
vention is inevitable. Field Marshal
Rheinlander will command the force.
Constantinople. Feb. 16.-In official cir
cles it is asserted that the porte has re-
ceived from the powers assurances re-
garding Bulgaria's pacific intentions and
that it has been greatly relieved thereby.
At the same time the tension has not
been relieved. The military council has
completed the plans for the mobilization
of the second and third army corps and
has decided that in the event of it becom-
ing necessary to take the field in Mace
donia, Marshal Edhem Pacha. the gem
eralissimo in the Graeco- Turkish war.
will have the supreme command of the
quarter of a million of men available
there.
Sofia. Bulgaria. Feb 16.-A mass meet
ing of 1000 Macedonians was held here
yesterday to protest against the action of
the government in dissolving the Mace
donion committees in Bulgaria.
Vienna, Feb. 16.-A rumor owing to the
difficulty of obtaining the consent of the
other powers. the Austro- Hungarian de-
mands of reforms in Macedonia have been
greatly attenuated. is confirmed by the
official Fremdenblatt. which states that
the demands are carefully framed. so as
not to overstep the limits prescribed by
respect for the sultan's suzerain rights
and that being confined to compare lively
modest bounds, they are more likely to at
tain the desired end than If they were
more pretentious.
1t is regarded as certain that these half
reforms will not satisfy the Macedonian
revolutionary party, which demands com
| plete autonomy. t

Berlin Is Not Well Pleased.

Berlin, Feb. 16.-The public here is less
pleased than the government processes to
be with the Venezuelan settlement. There
is a general comparison of the text Of the
ultimatum of Dec. with the Washington
protocol. and regret is expressed for the
discrepancy between the esign and the
achievement. German diplomacy. how
ever, is not blamed, the result being at
tributed to the manner in which the
United States protected President Castro
from the logical consequences of his con-
duct. The Tagliche Rundschau declares
that Germany has suffered another re-
pulse at the hands of the United States.
While consoling itself with the thought
that Great Britain and Italy and the
whole of Europe is in the same sad plight,
the paper does not indulge in the hope
that Europe will ever oppose united
front to America. Such an idea must re-
main utopian because the British people
incline rather to America than to Europe.
