The St Peters burg correspondent . of the Times tele graphs : "The horizon is again over cast. The change' is attributed to the speeches made: in the British Parlia ment and to the consequent alteration in the attitude of the Austrian cabinet and the apparent hesitation of Ger many to act as mediator. It is believ ed in official circles that some of Lord Salisbury's remarks cm Mpndaj.in(it cate an intention of going to war." The Agence Russe states that a short circular accompanying Prince Gort schakoff's reply, invites England to formulate her proposals. . , The Timea'JVienna correspondent re marks that this seems to .point to an intention of trying to come to a sepa rate understanding with England as was attempted with Austria. The special Berlin correspond ent of the Times says : "The attempts at mediation seem to have made it pro bable that the powers will only con sent to participate in the revision of the treaty of San Stefano on the same conditions as demanded by England." The Post says the Austrian agents have informed their government that Russia has promised Bosnia to Servia m the event of the renewal of hostile ties. This news has produced a bad impression at Vienna.' London, April 11. For the protec tion ol the ships in the Mediterranean irom torpedoes, a number of steam launches will be sent to Ismail and other stations. A number of torpedo boats were sent trom tne Chatham dock yard to the Mediterranean yester day. A chartered steamer is now lands ing a large number at Victoria docks, the intention being to supply each ves sel of the heet with at least two torpe do boats. Additional 38-ton guns are shipping for the Mediterranean in the London dock. The warlike preparations of the Rus sians and Turks about Constantinople continue. The Servians have established a two days' quarantine oa the Austrian fron tier. It is believed that this is rather from political than sanitary reasons. Apprehensions are expressed in Bu charest that the Russians intend en forcing strict martial law. A special from London to the Edin burgh Scotsmqn says that the secret de terminations of the cabinet, that Lord Derby meant as compelling his retire ment therefrom, were the seizure of (iallipoli and tne landing of an army corps in Anatordian. Constantinople, April 11. Defen sive works near Constantinople are be ing carried on with great energy. The Turkish authorities at the Is land of Tenedas have requested in structions from the Porte in view of the disembarkation of the British marines, to guard the depot of war ma terial on the island. Buchabe8T, April 11. Numerous detachments of Russians have arrived in the neighborhood of Bucharest. Constantinople, April 11. The Greeks demand the Greek patriarch, Sail Summon, of the Russian govern ment and that it declare itself on the question.of the GrecoBulgarian schism Should Russia recognize the Bulgarian Church, then the patriarch would de clare Russia schismatic. Fresh troops are expected from Egypt to replace those returning home. London, April 11. The news from Citteme says the districts in Albania on the seacoast and the Bayara river, occupied by the Montenegrins, haye been so ravished bv war that tne in habitants are starving. The Montene grins are unable to help them, being scarcely able to feed their own people An aDDeal has been made to Austria for help. The Manchester Guardian prints a London disDatch savme : A rumor is current in military circles that the British have sustained a disastrous de feat in South Africa. The colonial of fice is ignorant of such defeat. At last advices, however, the whole frontier After Much Consultation Sherman Sue ceeds in Disposing of His Bonds. New" York. Abril 11: Secretary Sherman made the sub' treasury office his headquarters yeiieraayy where he was called upon . h the financial men. He had no'formal conference with the representatiyes of. the national banks and banking firm si Tile Secretary said to a leading banker that he came here for the purpose of securing aid from the bankers in the tesmption jf spe ciepaymenXs ; hot la be dictated to nor advised as to,, his "precise plan. .He stated to the officers of the national banks that he required one hundred and forty million dollars in gold to re sume specie payments On January 1st, 1879.... had, on - hand about ninety million dollars, anl desired the banks, if they were willing to .'assist him, to bubscribe for fifty million dollars in bonds, which wohldimake up the full amount of one hundred and forty mil lion dollars. He also expressed his willingness to dispose of one hundred millions ot 4 per cent bonds at par with a commission, of a quarter percent. After a general discussion, which was not favorable to the proposition in regard to the 4 per cent bonds, Sec retary Sherman made an offer to dis pose of fifty million dollars in 4J per cents, . and requested the banks and bankers to submit a proposition to him for the'full amount or any fractional part thereof. It is understood that the national bank presidents had a secret meeting Tuesday night to consider the proposi tion of Secretary Sherman. His prop osition that the banks should sub scribe for the 4 per cents was voted down, and a committee selected to pre pare and submit a new proposition, which would be satisfactory to the banks. The proposition as decided upon is accompanied by arguments setting forth, among other things, that the bankers assembled are desirous of rendering all the aid possible gratis in securing the resumption of specie pay ments, but in doing so certain things must be considered. The banks are willing to subscribe for the full amount of fifty million dollars in bonds and to sell them at the same price paid for them, asking and requiring no profit ; but they must have something to say in regard to the classes of bonds to be issued. The 4 per cents they can not use at all, as the sale is entirely too slow and uncertain. ( They would be willing to accept the 4 J per cents or 5 per cents of 1881, which could be placed more readily. "We know," they say, "that a large number of tbe bonds which have been returned to this country from abroad, on account of the remonetization of Bilyer, are now held on speculation or have not been disposed of, and that the banks generally have more government bonds now on hand than at any previous time since they were issued. The banks cannot assume any great risks in subscribing for the bonds proposed, and the market must be viewed per spective as well as in its present fea tures. Should the market oecome flat and the demand for bonds cease, the banks cannot consent to assume the loss on such bonds as are held ov er ; and they will require a guarantee against loss in order to protect their capital. With this guarantee from the Secretary, the banks are willing to subscribe for the full amount ot ntty million dollars of 4J per cents or new 5's of 1881, at market quotations, cred iting the treasury department witn their equivalent in gold." This proposition, it is understood, was presented to Secretary Sherman. A meeting was held of the members of the late 4 per cent syndicate, compos ed of theJFirst National Bank, August Belmont, representing the Kotnscnuds of London, Drexel, Morgan & Co, Morton, Bliss & Co, J & W Seligman & Co, at which it was decided to make a bid for thd entire amount onered by Secretary Sherman. H C Fahnstock, George Bliss and August Belmont call ed on Sherman and had an interview with him. They informed him that they did not come as the syndicate, but as reDresentatives of the banks and banking nrms to render substantial aid to the government in its efforts to secure the speedy and permanent rea sumption of specie payments. Sher man said be lelt confident oi tne ami- itv of the Treasury Department to re sume by January 1st, if not before that time, if he could secure tne sale oi nt- In the Bloom of His Yonth and Beanty.
