BRITAIN SENDS W4RNING.
Tells SerTiG That Her Ozcn Interests
Demand Prudence.

London. Oct. S.-The British government this
evening telegra phed instructions 10 the British
Minister at Belgrade TO counsel the Servian gov
ernment IN strong terms that Servfas own inter-
ests demanded the exercise Of great modera ton
on her part. and the maintenance of a strictly
correct attitude
More pessimistic feelings prevail here to-day
with regard to the possible early settlement Of
the Near East question The demands Of the
Cretans for annexation &c Greece and the pro-
test Of the Servian government against the an
nexation Of Bosnia and Herzegovina have in
troduced further difficulties. These, it Is be-
lieved. will assuredly be finally overcome by the
British government but they are delaying the
negotiations. Great Britain has not any objec-
ton TO the annexation of Crete TO Greece al the
proper time. If the Cretans so desire but she
considers that the moment chosen 10 bring bout
this change is iuopportune and she will op-
pose il.
With regard 10 Servia the Foreign Office has
just received the Servian note of protest, and
has not had time TO consider it. Servia, like
the other Balkan states, has just cause for COM
plant, but British officials do take serious
view of the reported threats of precipitate war
between Servia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

DOM 8 RECOGNITION.

Budapest, oct. S.-Austria already has entered
upon negotiations with the various powers for
the recognition Of the kingdom Of Bull
garia and the esta bIishment Of peaceful rela-
tions between Turkey and Bulgaria.
Baron Won Aehrenthal. the Foreign Minister
made this announcement in his speech at the
opening sitting Of the Austrian and Hungarian
delegates to-day. The Austrian new pers and
politicians have steadfastly denied that there
was any understanding between Austria and
Bulgaria in the recent double movement but
Austria's adoption of a protecting role toward
Bulgaria indicates a strong community OF in
terests
In his address the Austro- Hungarian Foreign
Minister said that Austria adopted a generally
sympathetic attitude toward the new regime in
Turkey.
Baron AehrenthaI denied that Austria
Hungary was seeking political and economic
monopoly in the Western Balkans, and said:
The unique position occupied by Bosnia ana
Herzegovina for thirty years has acted a
weight TO Austria's Eastern policy We are get
ting rid Of the shackles, but carrying out
the spirit Of the Berlin Treaty, having removed
all possible causes Of friction and we would
be glad TO fall in line with the other powers in
a benevolent attitude toward Turkey.
Emperor Francis Joseph to-day welcomed in
this city the Austrian and the Hungarian dele
cations. Replying to the address OF the presi-
dent Of the delegations his atesty referred to
recent events and his intention TO create con-
stitutionaI institutions in Bosnia and Herzego-
vina. He then said:
The powers, animated entirely by peaceful
intentions. endeavoring in mutual under
standing to mitigate and remove the difficulties
from which the European situation is not yet
free. Thanks to our alliance with Germany and
Italy and friendly relations with the other
powers, Austria Hungary is in a position O.

The monarchy perform this task efficiently
only if It is powerful and armed; ii IS a task
commensurate with its traditions and its posi-
ton in Europe. I am confident that you Will
examine the demands Of my government, espe-
cially those In relation to the development Of
our forces by land and sea- in this spirit and
that you will be guided by patriotic insight and

GERMANY DENIES CHARGE
Pleads Not entity IN Balkans Case
albanian ReTOt RumOred.

Berlin. Oct. S.-The German Foreign Office,
taking Cognizance Of the efforts to make it ap-
pear that the German government was in some
way responsible for the Bulgarian declaration
Of independence and the annexation Of Bosnia
and Herzegovina by ustria-Hungary, to-day
repudiated these suggestions in their entirety.
It is asserted absolutely that the German gov
eminent completely surprised any
body at the developments Of the last few days
and that the resulting situation is highly un-
satisfactory TO Germany.
It is reported here that the Arnauts Of Al
bania have declared their independence of Tur-
key. The rumor. however, lacks confirmation.

MISSIONS IN BULGARIA.
Metb0dists Ana1ously Azcait Re
ports from COuntru.

The Board Of Foreign Missions of the Methodist
Church in this country has sent message to the
Rev E f. Count superintendent of the missions
in Bulgaria, asking him to report at once the eff
fects of the political situation on church work and
what IS TO be done in the event Of Bulgaria be
coming an Independent nation. At the Offices Of
the board 1t said yesterday that no trouble
was expected. Prince Ferdinand Is said 70 be
liberal in his treatment of denominationaI interests
The mission field OF Bulgaria, as far as American
work IS concerned. is divided between the Meth
odists and the Congregatioualists. The latter de-
nomination is represented there by a large church
that while teaching the precepts Of the denonina-
ton, Is independent Of the Church in this country
The episcopal supervision of the Methodist Church
in Bulgaria is in charge OF Bishop Burt, and the
Rev. Dr. H K. Carroll is the mission secretary.
The Methodist missionaries went into that coun-
try in 1851 the Rev. Albert L. Long and the Rev
Wesley Prettyman being the leaders. The general
committee. however. had early as 1852 made al
appropriation of 81 S99 missionary in Bul-
garIa The first annual meeting Of the mission was
held in 1876. and in 1882 the work there was for
malIy organized a mission conference of the
Methodist Church. The American Board Of Com
mssioners for Foreign Missions began work there
year after the Methodists had entered the field.
The organizations celebrated last June.
Sofia the fftieth anniversary Of foreign endeavor.
According to the latest report made by the super
intendent OF these missions, the Methodsts have
property in Bulgaria valued at nearly 100000 The
estimated value OF church buildings. mission

the year previous. At Lovetch there is one high
school with teachers and So pupils. The prop
ertv Of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society
in Lovetch is valued SSoo0. The CONGREGATIONAL
lists have equally valuable interests in Bulgaria
