Of high treason, the assassination of the
AIchduko Frances Ferdinand being the first
step towards other reasonable acts.

'ng the death Of bus nephew, says that he

100000 Prusoiau casualties have now
been officially published, besides those Of
The Bavarian, Saxon, and Wurtemburg con-

$4,000.
A despatch from Rome states that Gener-
al Grandi, Minister for War, has resigned,
through dissatisfaction with the newspaper
criticisms Of his policy.
Adyices from Toulon state that the French
torpedo boats 1888 and o348" colidod and
sunk off the Hyeros Islands. The crews
were saved, but the boats are a total loss.
Dispatches from Constantinoplo state that
German officers have placed sixteen-inch
guns IN the forts on the Dardanelles and
the Bospholus. The Allies are seeking the

An official report III connection with the Dus-
soldorf rad by Lieutennnts Mark and Sippe,
Of the naval wing Of the Royal Flying Corps,
whereby Il Zeppelin and it's hangar were des-
tloyod, has been published. The feat was
a remarkable one IN every respect, the RAID
beng over one hundred miles INTO the enc
my's country, although aircraft defence guns
were specially mounted. An Austrian off
clal communication Announces tho complete
breaking down Of the Russian invasion of
Hungary aud declares that the recent attacks
on Przemysl were repulsed with terrible loss
to the enemy, the defence being conducted
by the garrison with the greatest skill. The
russians, it further says, have been cleared
from the CarpathIans to the western ridge
of Wyrzkow, aud the Austrians have retaken
Maramoros S2iget in Hungary.
A RUSSIAN official communication explains
the silence regarding news from the trout
by the necessity OF making new dispositions
TO meet the situation created by the Ger
man reinforcement Of the Austrians. The
Russians admit great losses iii the %st0rming
Of the Przemsyl fort, but claim constant sue
ccsses.
Erssiau critics regard Germany's French
campaign rs p @f&'luro, saying nothing has
been accomplished, despite the greatest
efforts; when Germany began she had assets
IN the powerful austrian army an& her own
rear had mot been STACKED. hut now she has
neither and there is u considerable total on
the othes side Of the account, Austria no
longer existing IS a military powerand Ger
many has been defeated on 6 considerable
scale IN East Prussia in an attempt TO revenge
the rnid into Prussia by the Russians. No
military considerations can account salts.
t%actorlly for the abandonment of the
full weight Of the attack upon France to
take revenge for General Rennenkamf's
raid, and when such an attempt was defeat
cd 3 return to their former plan shows poy-
erty Of conception. The German war plans,
at the present moment, if they do not give
evidence Of panic and desperation, must be
the outcome ot conflicting e%ouusels.
