ent Of the Times ssys that England hss
communicated to the foreign representa-
tives at London The Iext Of her reply
declining to agree to the conclusions of
ths Berlin conference. The point to
which England principally objects is the
decision OF three powers that in case
their Intervention should not effect pa
cificstion the six powers unitedly would
have to consider other and more effiea-
cious measures. England thinks this
declaration contains the principle Of
armed intervention and that it is a
menace to the liberty and independence
Of Turkey. 1t is stated that negotiations
have already commenced for the mOdi-
lcRtion OF this declaration as means
TO induce England to sign the proposals
of the conference.
