Muravieff as peace pleni- potentiary, glthough the ambassador has taken pasgage on the steamer Kai- ser Wilhelm' der Grosse,. sailing from Cherbourg July 26. According to re- ports the emperor is wavering if he' has not alreagy been'convinced of the fact that his choice was unwise. The Russian newspapers; whose criticism compelled M- Murayvieff to relinquish the portfolio of justice, have attacked him with great savageness as being utterly unqualified to, conduct such im- portant negotiations, and the foreign qigine has all-along been supposed to are a §1mxlnr view. The peacé party &t the eourt has done its utmost 4o se- cure the supercession of M.

Kustenji, Roumania, July 13.—The Black sea squadron faces another and greater mutiny. So critical is the sit- uation that Rear Admiral Kruger dare 1ot move for-fear lest the crews rise and kill the officers should the vessels put to sea. The new state of terrorism is entire- ly due to Admiral Kruger's flagrant breach of faith. When the squadron reached here fifty-five of the Potem- kine’s sailors went on board the flag- ship and surrendered on the promise of clement treatment, the men assert- ing that they were forced to join the mutineers, but had always remained .| loyal to the czar. Now it is learned that the fifty-five sailors have been distributed among the different vessels of the squadronm, have been imprisoned and will be brought to trial and dealt with as reb- els as terrible examples. This ignoring of the promise and the swift programme for summary execu- Uons have aroused the men of the squadron to such a pitch of fury that it is certain that the first sign of a noose at the yardarm will be followed by a massacre. i JAPS IGNORE NOTIFICATION.

Paris, July 13 —Former Foreign Min- Ister Delcasse, in the course of an in- terview published by the Gaulois on the British and French naval amenities at Brest, was induced to discuss his general policy relative to Great Brit- ain and Germany. He said: “The policy of nations nowadays is not based on sentiment or antipa- thy, but on their general interests, As between Germany and Great Britain our cemmercial balance shows where our interests lie. Great Britain is our best purchaser, while Germany buys almost nothing of us and tries to sell us all she can. Moreover, it is| evi- dent that we could not leave open ir- ritating controversies with Great Brit- i ain which might precipitate an armed struggle, for Great Britain holds disputably the empire of the seas. For [-every warship we build she builds four or five. It is, therefore, well to accept i these manifest facts and consider th value which British co-operation would give us in certain eventualities. | The greatest lutrinsic value of such co-op- eration would be the virtual imposs- bility fn which it would place Gsr- many of making war npon us.” - ered the. recent. -menaces in conneeum\ i with Morocco as being serious. | plied: 5 . “Not at all.
