servia the Danger Point;
LONDON, Oct. 27.-The British govern
ment has issued in London and through
the British ambassadors abroad a formal
denial that the rupture in the direct ne
gotiations between Austria Hungary and
Turkey was due to Great Britain's inter-
v%ention, together with a statement that
any direct arrangement satisfactory TO
Turkey would in the opinion OF the British
government smooth the way towards a
general settlement.
Although there has been no change IN
the actual situation, the tendency of diplo-
matte activity Is toward peace. Servia re-
mains the danger point and the visit OF
the Servian crown prince to st. Petersburg
arouses a certain amount Of apprehension
in the absence of actual knowledge as to
whether he is going on a matrimonial err
rand or a diplomatic mission to the EN-
peror. or has merely been sent by KinG
Peter to put an end to his dangerous agi-
tation.
The prince is accompanied by NJ. Pac-
hitch, the Servian premier, and in an inter-
view, while passing through Budapest, the
premier said that the princes mission was
to persuade the Russian emperor to inter-
vene against the annexation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. He added that he anticipated
good results for servia.
Only a few days ago the crown prince
declared that though he was no firebrand
and desired peace with his whole heart
the question OF having access TO the ses
was a matter OF life or death for servia
and it was prepared TO fight II abandoned
by the powers. 1t is reported from boil
Vienna and C~onstantinople that direc
negotiations between Austria and Turkey
will be resumed.
The Times Constantinople correspondent
believes that Turkey Is ready to enter intC
direct negotiations will Bulgaria on tn
basis OF Bulgaria's assuming the Ottoman
debt of $4,000 600 and paying the arreAr
of the Rumelian tribute.
