NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE Vienna correspondent of the Times announces that the German Government has changed its Bulgarian policy, and will now earnestly support the Administration of Prince Ferdinand. The Austrian Government will follow suit, and has, indeed, already done a most significant thing by allowing ten Bulgarian cadets to receive their education in Austrian military schools. The Turkish Government, moreover, is now so reluctant to press Bulgaria, that the Russian papers urge the Czar to demand peremptorily payment of the overdue military indem- nity. It will be observed that the Viennese statement is in precise accord with the references to Bulgaria contained in Signor Crispi's recent speech at Turin, the accuracy of which Prince Bismarck has this week publicly confirmed. All this makes for peace ; but, on the other hand, the Russians are again urging on military preparations on their Western frontier, and the Emperor of Germany has been again rather seriously ilL He is recovering, but his illness caused a panic on the Berlin Bourse, and these repeated attacks cannot, in a man of his unusual age, be without danger. The Crown Prince has gone to San Remo ; but it is said that the Emperor wishes him to visit Berlin, even though it be winter there.
