THE WAR CLOUD,

ae

ALEXANDER SHOWS HIS HAND.

Occupation and Subjugation of Bulgaria His Aim.

Prince Bismarek has obtained from Count Schouvaloff, the Russian ambassador, a de- finite declaration «of the Czar's demands with reference to Buigaria. No secret is made of the exact character cf the propo- sals nor of the official opinion that they will be summarily rejected. The Czar asks a substantial reeognition of the right of Russia to control Bulgaria and Roumania. Prince Ferdinand and the Sobranje are to be wiped out, and a Russian commissioner, with » Turkish colleague, isto reorganize the government and the army, and to con- trol the elections for a new Sobranje. Russia further claims the mght to occupy the principality until the Czar deems it proper to withdraw his troops. The nature of these demands aggravates the situation. It is reported that Prince Bismarck has advised Count Schouvaloff to urge the Rus- sian government to refrain from officially presenting them to Austria, on the ground that they would certainly meet with per- emptory rejection without discussion.

The military preparations of Austra are approaching a condition ofreadiness. Aus- tria and Germany can abid e by events, ac- cepting Russia’s signal for war or —_— waiting for an opportune moment for attack. Asan adjunct to the treaty of alliance, a plan has been agreed upon for co-operation of the allied forces. When the campaign opens there will be three armies in the field. One con- sisting of the first or East Prussian corps, the fourth or West Prussian corps, the fifth or Pusen corps ard the sixth or Silesian corps will be under the command of Prince William. The second army led by the king of Saxony, will consist of the Saxon contingent and the Austrian troops stationed iu Galicia and Bohemia. The third army under Archduke Albrecht of Austria will be composed of the bulk of the Hungarian and Austrian troops and‘wi!l

form the southern corps. If Fra>-s enters the field this plan will be m ; but the German and Italian

nwbilized are relied upon to dispos:

the French. The acceleration of Italian naval preparations isdue to wt representations from Berlin.

It-isstated that Austria agrees with Rus- siain holding that Prince, Ferdinand’s presence in Bulgaria is illegal, but recog- nizes his election to the throne as legal. Italy is said to have declared that she will co-operate with England and Austria in any action they may take in regard to Bul- garia. ‘

The om Star remarks that the war news is by no means encouraging. The in- dications are that by springtime the great powers will find themselves in a deadly eimbrace, for which they have been prep ar- ing for years, Russia is restless and evi- dently résolved to upset Prince Ferdinand’s throne, and the other powers. are jealous of every move that Russia makes. Once the strugg'e begins it is difficult to see how Great Britain will be able to keep out of it. To people on this side of tlre world a war in Europe is not a matter of appre- hension. They are on the safe side of the Atlantic. But if England should be drawn in, Russiay cruisers might make an_ effort tu Gv mMtschief to Canadian sea ports, the unprotected state of which is notorious. Doubtless this fact has had some weight ~{th the Dominion Government in appoint- we. <oumission, composed of Sir Fred

WHAT A SCOTCH PREACHER IS —A LIVELY TIME DURING THE NEXi THIRTEEN YEARS.

eee ee

‘**The mantle of Dr. Cumming,” says the St. James’ Gazette, ‘‘ has fallen upon a certain ‘Rev. M. Baxter,’ who is discours- ing in an Edinburgh circus on * coming great events.’ The reverend gentleman starts with the ‘greatest European war ever known, involving all the nations of Europe, to begin in 1888-9, and to end in 189i with the defeat of Germany.’ He follows up with the announcement that ‘Britain 1s to lose Ireland and India (and perhaps also the Highlands) by 1891,

and resort to military © conseription.’ The ‘perhaps’ will interest the crofters in the Lewes. Next we have

‘Lord Wolseley’s prediction, to be found true within the next nine years, that a French army landing on the south coast can not be prevented from capturing Lon- don.’ It is evident that our country is to come off badly in 1891, when, as our pro- phet tells us, * Britain is to lose its-present independence and become one of the ten kingdoms of a confederacy under France’s Leetlership —the ten-horned leviathan and the ten-tued image in Daniel.’ Among the lesser horrors are ‘ Britain’s desolation in 1897 by red republican crusading armies from Europe, and the’ Scarlet: Woman to be seated as the Established State Church, and to massacre Protestants.’ In 1894, accomling to this cheer- ful seer, ‘Napoleon the antichrist will arise asking of asmall part of Greece or

urkey, and then become emperorof the ten

ingdoms,’ while ‘Napoleon’s image. from 1897 to 1901, will be set up and wor- shipped in every city, town and village of Britain and the rest of the ten kingdoms, and tens of thousands of people will be be- headed for refusing to worship his statue. Greatest wonder of all will be the ‘ transla- tion of 144,000 living Christians to heaven without dying, in March, 1896.’ To hear, all this there is no special charge, only there is a ‘collection on entering.’
