War News
The demand by Russia for the deposition of Priuce Ferflinand, and the fact that twenty-seven train loads of Russian troops were despatched into Bessarabia, the nearest route to the northern frontier of Bulgaria, are said to look ominous. We do not believe there was any connection between the two events. It appears to us more probable that the " twenty-seven traiu loads" were sent to fill the ranks decimated by decease which has for some time been fatally prevalent in the camps, and not as a menace. We are inclined to hold to the opinion we have before expressed that the intelligence we get by telegraph is not so reliable as that reooived by those in the v inner circle" at Home. The Under Seoretary for Foreign Affairs has given an opinion that the peace of Europe is more assured now than it was twelve months ago. He is in a position to know, and is not likely to make such an utterance unless he is tolerably certain of its truth. The telegraph agents do not appear to be trammelled by any rule of the kind — a fact much to be regretted.
