TURKEY NOW TRAINB WITH THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE. IntPgrlty of Turkish Territory Guar anteed Turkish Troops to Co s With Austria in Servia and Bulgaria In Case of War-Germany Trying to Win Back the Swiss. Copyrighted 18.49 by Sew York Anooiated Preti. Berlin, Juiy 20. —The long ponding ne gotiations with the ports aiming at the ad hesion of i urkoy to the triple-alliauce have finally resulted in an entente under which the Dreibund guarantee! to maintain the integrity of Turkish territory in accordance with the treaty of Berlin. The question concern mg Crete is reserved, Prince Bismarck promising to induence Greece not to interfere, provided further autonomy is conceded the Cretoans. It is stipulated that the Turkish troops shall co operate with Austria iu Servia and Bul garia in the event of war with Russia. The sultan received Count Radoitz, the Germau ambassador, on Wednesday, and arranged for a reception of Emperor William, w’hose visit to Constantinople depended upon the porte’s conclusion of an entente. The nego tiations were accelerated by the gravity of the situation in Sorvia. DECIDEDLY WARLIKE. A cabinet council held in Vienna Thurs day debated whothor the time had como for military intervention by Austria. Tlie war minister reported the arming of the Ser vian reserves en ma-se and the distribution ot 350,090 rifles and abundant, munitions furnished by Russia and France, they debiting the Servian treasury under uasy conditions of deferred payment. Russian officers, ho said, were engaged in inspecting thj lortresses, barracks ami dopots iu Ber v:u. Ti e minister advocated immedia e action. Everything was ready to march two army corps into Servia. The council decided to wait until Count Kalnoky in fluenced the re-appearance of King Milan in Belgrade. The partisans of King Milan are eager for civil war to crush tho Rus s ans. If it occurs King Milan will invoke Austrian assistance, and thus give Count Kainoky ground to interfere. MU.iT CONVINCE THE SULTAN. The Kreuz Zcitung, referring to the arrangement with trie portu for Turkish adhesioii to tho triple alliance, says: “The sultan mu-fc, above all, he thoroughly con vinced that the league will nit violate the integrity of Turkey, but recognize her as a state entirely independent witiim her bor ders.” Tlie I esther Lloyd doubts the value of Turkey’s adhesion, but predicts that when the decisive hour strikes, the porte, finding the question of its very existence involved, will co-operate with the powers desiring to preserve Turkey. GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND. The interview nt tho foreign office between Count Herbert Bismarck and M. Roth, the Swiss minister, was amicable. Count Herbert intimated that the German reply to the Swiss note, though denouncing the existing treaty settlement, invite early negotiations for anew treaty. Tuo tenor of tlio reply would be so friendly that (fount Herbert was confident that the Swiss government would consider the hostile phase of tho and spuce closed. NOT INTENDED A3 REPRISALS. Referring to the alleged frontier re prisV.s, Count Herbert explained that the measures wore not taken in a spirit of rancor, but purely as a o: eventati vn against the entry of soc.alist documents into Uer many. The zeal of the officials had misap plied their instructions. If the measures hampered tho business of the com munes they would be corrected. Mr. Roth sent a note of tho interview to Berne, which seems to have incited strict surveillance of refugees. 7he secretary of justice and police went to Zurich Thursday and submitted a number of German social ists to interrogation, and obtained pledges that while residents of Switzerland they would renounce all propaganda com promising tiie country. The same pledge will be demanded of every refugee shelteie 1 in Switzerland. The tur.iverien of Munich will give a hearty welcome t > the 8 viss gymnasts to mark their good will. Southern German opinion is strong against Prince Bismarck’s buatiiiry to Switzerland. The check to his diplomacy is rejoiced over. LAST YEAR’S VISIT TO RUSSIA It is >i yoav this week since the emperor’s roception in St. Petersburg. Semi-official par ers seize the occasion ot the anniversary to criticise the conduct of the czar in his discourteous delay in returning the visit. The Cologne Gazette deplores iu the name of peace the czar’s obs inacy in refusing to explain even by a single word of diplomatic excuse w hy he has not responded to the ap proaches of the emperor who honored him by his first visit beyond his empire, although not an ally. The Gazette declares that Rus so-French arrangements fur mutual action in war are neer completion. Col. Brios, the French military attache at Bt. Peters burg, has received the cross of commander of the Legion of Honor in recognition of liis services associated with the Russian war office. ITALIAN ASSISTANCE FOR GERMANY. A statement of the semi-official Conner of Warsaw is reproduced here without comment, to the effect that in the event of a Franco German war an Italian army marching via Brenner will join the Gor mans at Metz. Austria will provide traas p station for the lialian troops through the Tyrol. SOCIALISTS TAKE HEART. The socialist* have taken heart over the Halberstadt election for member of tha Reichstag.
