VIENNA, Sept 23.-A difficulty has
arisen because the Porte. before grant,
ing prolongation of the armistice, de-
sires propositions. The powers on thN,
other hand persist in demanding con-
clusion of the armistice irrespective of
the condition, because as they have
from the commencement insisted that
the armistice was indispensable they con-
slider it would be derogatory to make any
kind of compromise on the subject. The
powers also intend this attitude as
concession to Russia, she having
throughout the negotiations determin-
edIy supported an unconditional armis-
tice. As the time of the present suspen-
sion of hustilities draws to close the
demands of the powers have become
more pressing, some of them having
tolerably plainly intimated that the
Porte's refusal to grant an armistice
would lead to the suspension of their
diplomatic relations.
