shewing against tile Greeks twelve Tearsago tt was entirely owing to von GoltzVon Gottz during his recent stay at Starnboul was the guest of the Sultan bywhom he was overwhelmed with tokensof favor aad friendship and tt is saidthat kIn trip to the Besphorus was forthe purpose of arranging for the Inclu-
of the Ottoman empire into thetriple alliance This would vastlystrengthen the tatter aggregation and theproclamation of the constitution win gofar toward setting at rest the oppositionwhich might otberwtee be aroused in theLiberal circles of Germany andItaly to any offensive sod defensive alli-ance with an Orinasal despot such as theSultan Certnta k te that the relationsbetween Berlin and Constantinople arecloser today than ever before and onlya few days age news was received fromPekte to the flout that the Germanenvoy there bud Informed the Tsnngli
