 London. March 2s-London is the only capital where official confrma- ton of the settlement of the Balkan crisis is lacking.
 The British foreign ofice late to- night, according to reports, had not been informed that Austria had &C., cepted Sir Edward Grey's formula for the declaration which Servia is to make to the administration at Vienna but 1t was fully expected that Austria would accept and no surprise was ex- pressed at the result.
 While Foreign Secretary Grey has en- hanced his reputation by his successful efforts to maintain peace, 1t Is realized that Austria and Germany have scored | great diplomatic victory over the l members of the triple entente. Anoth- CT cause for satisfaction, however, Is | that Great Britain and France have maintained their position not to rec ognize tKe annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina until the Austro- -Servia negotiations were concluded.
 It is understood that in the declara- tion agreed upon Servia will announce | that she has mo rights with regard to Bosnia and Herzegovina. that she is ready to live on friendly terms with Austria and will demobolize at once | In return, Austria Is to make gener- l ous economic concessions to Servia.

 Vienna, March 28.-A complete agree- ment has been reported by the pow | CTS with regard to the steps to be taken at Belgrade on the basis of the proposals made by Sir Edward Grey. the British Foreign Secretary, to Ba- ron von Aehrenthal. the Austro-H Hun garian Minister of Foreign Affairs, for the settlement of the difficulty between Austria and Servia.
 | The representatives of the powers at Belgrade tomorrow will advise Ser via to make a declaration to the ad- ministration at Vienna, supplementary to the Servian note of March 14. In this note, Servia referred Austria to her previous note to the powers dated March II. and fin the latter note, Ser via, while, withdrawing her demand for compensation and setting forth that she did not desire to provoke war. still maintained that the question of the annexation of Bosnia and Herze- govina should be regulated by the pc. : CTS.
 In addition. a complete agreement 1 has been reached with respect to the abrogation of Article 25 of the Berlin treaty. and the suggestions of Austria on this subject will be- comtnunicateo to signatories of the treaty.
 The greatest satisfaction Is felt everywhere over the happy solution oi the crisis. Austria will be able to turn her attention to home questions, the most important of which have to dc with finances.
 Three hundred and eighty thousant men from all parts ofrthe country have in the last few months, been mobiltzec in Bosnia and Croatia; the artillery forces have been greately augmented and arms and ammunition have beer replenished, the entire cost being es. timated at $140,000,000.
