Greece Sends 30,000 Troops to Attack Dardanelles—Servia Rushes Reinforcements to Besiegers at Constantinople—War Resumed.

London.—That increased uneasiness is being felt in European capitals over the possibility of a new and greater conflict growing out of the Eastern European war is shown by many dispatches to the London newspapers.

The plan for the seizure of the Dardanelles by the allies is assuming definite shape by the occupation by Bulgaria of the important port of Dedeagatch, on the Gulf of Enos, on the Aegean. Dedeagatch is the terminus of the Saloniki Railway. It will be used as the place of debarkation for a Greek army, said to number 30,000 men.

According to the Chronicle's Vienna correspondent, three classes of the Austrian reservists have been called out. About 300,000, he says, have massed along the Servian frontiers, and equally steady preparations are going forward in Galicia.

Vienna.—Rumors of a Russian mobilization have led to a strong anti-Russian outburst by the Austrian press, which accuses Russia of being behind Servia. The Boerse was greatly weakened on rumors of warlike preparations by Austria and Russia. It is reported that the Don Cossacks have been mobilized, and that the Russian authorities are holding all available rolling stock on the lines running to the Austrian frontier.

Chicago.—The Austro-Hungarian reservists in Chicago have received official orders to hold themselves in readiness for a call to rejoin their regular stations in the Austrian army subject to immediate notice.

Berlin.—The reports of the mobilization of troops by Austria and Russia continue, while Germany also is said to be holding railway rolling stock in readiness to transport troops.
