are that the imperial government is

Agreed to Hands OF Policy.
Berlin, Feb. 29.-According to infor-
nation received from an e~Xcellently-
informed quarter, Russia, Austria and
Germany have agreed on a policy of
n~ointerference, should Turkey attack
Bulgaria. They have further agreed
not to consider such hostilities as war,
but as justifiable suppression Of re-
bellion on the part of Turkey as Bull

1t is understood that Turkey will not
be permitted to seize any Bulgarian
territory, but after the B%ulgarians have
been punished. Austria will be in

gress gave it administrative power
