CRISIS IN EUROPE.
MILITARY ACTIVITY OF FRANCE.
HOPES OF PEACE DECREASING.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
A RUSH ON STAMBOUL.
[PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
London, February 9. The feeling throughout Europe is now less confident of peace, owing to the increasing military activity of France.
London, February 10. The French Press are alarmed at the weakness of the navy, and declare that it is unable to eneouiucr the Italian fleet.
Sir Charles Dilke in a letter states that the abandonment of Turkey by Prince Bismark looks ominous, and the idea of a rush on Stamboul by Russia is now quite feasible. He also expresses the opinion that if Italy should be compelled to join in the fight to maintain her Mediterranean right, it is doubtful whether England would assist her, although Lord Salisbury had almost given a promise to do so.
Berlin, February 9. A rumour' has gained credence in diplomatic circles that Spain and Roumania, and probably Sweden, will be admitted into the Central Alliance.
