Dr. Fabricius, German Minister to Rumania, left Bucharest by special train for Berlin yesterday after a long conversation with General Antonescu, Premier, on the internal situation.

Military cordons have been placed outside public buildings in Bucharest and they will be soon reinforced by new divisions.—Reuter.
