[Router'e Service To The Telegraph."]

Landos. Received Aug. 1, It is officially announced that, as a resultof, interviews between Mr. Lloyd George, Mr,, Asquith and the London bunkers, it has been decided that the present financial situation does not justify emergency action, but in the event of further developments the Treasury is prepared for such action immediately.

Italy's attitude, which is so for uncertain, may be a most important eleventh hour facior.

The Tribun Baye the Cabinet came to no decision as to military moaguros.

With the closing of the New York Stock Exchange to- day, the world's stock markets are at a standstill.

AUSTRIAN RESERVE CALLED OUT.

DERMAN MOVEMENTS GRAVE.

London. Received August 1. Reuter's correspondent at St, Potersburg reports that the final effort of Great Britain to find a formula for peaco is acceptable to the antagonists but there is little hope of

General mobilisation of the Austrian Army and Navy has been ordered, while the Landsturm has been called out in response to Russian mobilisation..

Of course there was one, and only one final proof of the irnih or falsity of the assertions made. No one removed the skewers at the time of burial. The Governor himself suggested the application of the one proof. Heoffered to open any coffia containing a body that was alleged to beat the marke of torture, Had the suggestion come from me, and had it been met with the self-evident difficul- ties connected with such a sug- gestion, the inference would have beon inevitable. Let the Governor the suggestion to the difficulties have every advantage of making of Garying on which he later referred. As far as the writer of these lines, and the readers there of, are concerned the question of torture being applied in the Taluhfu by the military tribunal e not proven by personal evi- dence.
