ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 26.— The demobilization of the Austrian and Russian forces has been decided upon, according to information from a most reliable source, as a result of the recent exchange of letters between Emperor Francis Joseph and the Russian Emperor. The extra units concentrated on the respective frontiers, it is stated, will be simultaneously withdrawn in the near future, and the reservists will be disbanded.
It is understood that the details of this measure were discussed at a special council which assembled at Tsarskoe-Selo yesterday under the Presidency of the Emperor. The Premier, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, War, and Marine, and the Chief of the General Staff were present.
This action coincides with the preparations for the celebration of the tercentenary of the Romanoff dynasty, which it is desired to mark by peace in international relations and good-will in internal politics. An amnesty decree on a large scale is now being prepared.
