Old World Rumors.

—In the East there are still rumors that Russia is pushing on to the Indian Ocean as well as to the Pacific. It is said to reach the Indian Ocean she will if need be, fight both England and Germany. In Europe it is rumored that there is prospect of alliance among the Latin countries, France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. This would probably include Russia. It is designed against England’s hold upon the Mediterranean. Spain, it is said, contemplates building a navy, and yet the government is practically bankrupt, having placed as security with Portugal for a loan, the crown jewels. There is outward peace over a slumbering volcano.
