Gold paid Down As a first instal Ronen i. Constantinople advices indicated that de spite Gen. Todleben s threats the Porte will not evacuate Varna and Batum. Shumla will probably be surrendered partly As a satisfaction to the russians and partly be cause it has ceased to be of great import Ance since the russians have established themselves on its line of communication with Varna. Moreover the thirty battalions of regulars now in Shumla it is believed would be More useful in constantinople. Military critics assert that in Case of War if the British and the turks hold Varna and Batum the russians must withdraw from the thracian Peninsula and from the Erze Roum and Trebizond line and this accounts for Gen. Todleben s insisting even at the risk of prejudicing the negotiations Between London and St. Petersburg. The general opinion is that the object of appointing Gen. Todleben As commander in chief was that lie might Rescue the army from the unsafe a. Tion into which the political motive of approaching Constanti Nople had placed it. Serious rioting began at Blackburn yesterday evening. Thousands of the lowest classes of operatives including women paraded the streets making violent demonstrations. The residence of col.

Lie added we will defend them with if we can if not by other Herr pizza also said that the objections to the treaty related As much to the stipulations affecting the Eastern and Western half of the Balkan Peninsula and those Oft repeated insinuation of the intentions on the part of the g Ovon Zinent to Fol Low a policy of compensation by occupation in the allowing things to take their course in the East had never had the slight est foundation. This declaration was received with cheers.

Radical withdrew the notice he gave on the 9th inst Tjit on going into committee of Supply on the supplementary estimates he would move to disapprove of Tho summoning of the Indian troops to Malta without first communicating this in Tention to parliament. Tho greatest secrecy is maintained regard ing count Schouvaloff s visit. A special from san Stefano nays All the troops there will move within a Fow Days into Camp on the rising ground two Miles and a half nearer constantinople.

Serious riots in England condensed from j . Cablegram specially for Tho St. Paul May 15. The japanese minister has been Assassin ated at Yokohama. Assassins arrested. It is stated that the a russian Lith army corps has been pressed Forward during the past week so As to completely isolate Bucharest from Little Wallachia where the romanian army is concentrated. The rus Sian diplomatic representatives used every Effort to prevent Prince Charles going to join his army but the latter s position has been made intolerable by the military and Politi Cal control assumed by the russians in the capital and the country. It is asserted that the russians Are urging the romanians to refuse to pay taxes and to dethrone Prince Charles whom they denounce As a German and a Catholic but the popular feeling is entirely in sympathy with the Prince. The romanians Are looking anxiously to aus Tria who does t seem disposed for the present at least to go beyond the concentration of troops and strengthening of for tresses on the transylvanian Frontier. Thirty two battalions of russian reinforce ments have arrived at Sari Stefano. Arrangements concerning the withdrawal of Force have failed in consequence of the government at St. Petersburg disapproving of Gen Todleben s projected Retreat to Adrianople. The Mussulman insurrection is spreading a Large number of albanians Are participating. The greeks in new Bulgaria who also Are greatly dissatisfied have just received fresh occasion for alarm in an at Spindt of the russian authorities to enrol them under the general conscription now being enforced throughout Bulgaria. Gen. Todleben s conditions have not yet Beon approved at St. Petersburg. This causes Tho contradictory reports afloat re Garding the evacuation of the fortresses. The russians Are throwing up entrench ments at san Stefano and arming them with Krupp guns. The movement of the Indian troops to Malta is to be discussed in the Louse of lords on monday. Baron Melbourne Call up Tho question of the constitutionality of the movement. A Resolution however will not be moved in Tho lord Lartington declares that his Resolution was intended to raise the question of the policy of the employment of Indian troops not the Mere Legal Issue. The times says when it is announced beforehand that the opposition will not raise the question of policy and when the Princi pal lawyer of the party in the lords will not throw his objections into the shape of a re solution a Long discussion of the constitutionality of the Case would be More suitable fora debating society. The fact is the issues in the present crisis have passed beyond the control of even Tho a Irish parliament. The policy of the government has received at its most critical stage the support of the coun try and the ministry have accordingly taken Steps which leave the next turn of events in other the statements of Prince Auersperg and Herr pizza in the austrian Eli Osrath and hungarian diet Are Well received at Vienna and London. It is believed in England that they indicate beyond doubt that Austria s intention is to oppose Russia so if England be compelled to go to War she will do so under More favourable circumstances than was recently thought Herr states that Austria had no intention to act against Turkey but rather with her in Bosnia. The ministry could not say in detail what they wanted the Grant of Money for but probably it was necessary to take precautions on the Northern Southern and Eastern frontiers to increase the number of troops and to be Safe against surprises. He re Gards the reports from Roumania As exaggerated not groundless. He knew what was going on there though be has no reason to suspect hostile designs. Gen. Todleben declares that if the Turk ish commissioners do not disperse the insurgents he will take severs repressive measures. Batum telegrams says the concentration of nine thousand Mussulman at la Sislen in the a Denitch District has caused the russians to Retreat. The insurgents occupy three of the bal Kan passes.
