FOREIGN NEWS.
THE EASTERN WAR.


huBStn'S Ult1mntunt,
LONDON, October 21.-A dispatch from
Vienna says Russia has presented to the
Porte an ultimatum embracing, in sub.
stance, the following points;
First-A six weeks armistice, upcon-
ditionally.
second-Administrative autonomy for
Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Third-Execuion ofreforms under the
supervision Of commissioners named by
the Great Powers, and to be protected by
an armed foreign force.
MEETING OF EsrBAssADoRs IN coNsrANT1-
NOBLE.
A dispatch from Constantinople says
the ambassadors Of the Powers met yes.
terday, at the residence Of General Igna-
tief the Russian EmbasSador. Il is be-
lieved they agreed upon common action
for procuring an understanding with the
Porle regarding an armistice and condi-
tions Of peace.
A dispatch from Berlin says: 1.-THE
report Is current here that the Powers
have again collectively urged the Porte's
unconditional acceptance Of the English
proposals"
THE MoNTNEGRrHs CAPTURE MEDIUM.
A dispatch from Ragusa says MEDIUM
has capitulated to the Montegrins, who
held the Turkish garrison Of four hundred
men as prisoners Of war, The Montnc-
grins have also taken the guns and ammu-
milton Of the Turks.
The Times Vienna correspondent says
he was mistaken about the Powers which
had declared their acceptance Of the six
months armistice. Austria, France and
Italy have not notified the Porte OF their
adhesion to that proposal, though none
had objected to il. England alone, there
fore, took formal action in its favor. The
effect OF this Is that all the Powers except
England remain in position TO urge the
Porte 10 concede the Russian demand.
On the other hand, it seems certain that
Russia has not the support Of either Ger
man or Austria in the contemplated
movement against Bulgaria.
The announcement that the Czrrovitch
will visit the Courts OF Berlin, Vienna
and London seems 10 indicate that Rus
sia is hesitating to act separately. ANY
how the mission OF Colonel Detashkofi,
the Cars Adjutant, to the Emperor Of
Austria, Jared no better than that OF
General Sumarakoif, and the weight Of
evidence goes to show that the other
Powers have, like England, taken up an
expeCtant attitude in the face Of Russias
warlike preparations. There is also a con-
tradiction Of the Russo-Italian alliance
from several quarters, including an in
spired dispatch from Rome, which says,
"Contrary to rumor Italy, up to the pres.
ent, maintains an attitude Of reserve"
Prince Bismarck is still at Varzin. The
Emperor Of Austria and Count Andrassy
are at Pesth, and the Russian Court at
Lividia. At Belgrade it is declared that
the Cars return to st. Petersburg will
be the signal for the entry OF Russian
army into Bulgaria.
THE ATTITUDE, OF GERMANY.
BEELIN, October 2l.-The National lei.
tting states that Germany has defined her
position upon the armistice question, as
follows: She ia Indifferent whether IN
armistice OF ak weeks or six months Is
granted. Therefore her Intervention,
with the object Of bringing about an un-
derstanding between the Powers on this
particular question, can avail little. But,
on the other hand, Germany never fails
to recognize that the object TO be arrived
at is the restoration Of an understanding
between the Powers, with a view OF pro-
curing durable peace.
ENGLAND WILL MAKE NO FURTHER FRO
PosAL.
PARIS, October 2l.-It is stated that
England has replied to Russia that as she
has already supported six months ar
mistice, she can not now recommend one
OF six weeks, but she will not oppose it.
No Power appearing willing to take the
initiative, thequestion rests between Tur.
key and Russia. A solution can thus
only be looked for at Constantinople.
Diplomatic circles still hope for pacific
settlement.
SENSATIONAL REPORT THAT ENGLAND HAS
DECIDED TO OCCUPY coNsTANTINoPLE.
New York, October 2l.--A special
from London says England has decided to
leave the Ottoman Empire to It's fate.
She will hold Constantinople to the last
extremity, but the territory can be divi-

vide for such an emergency, transports
will at once carry three corps OF regulars
to Malta, where enormous quantities oi
military stores and provisions have been
accumulating for months past. Should
the acknowledgement powers, such as Ger
many, Austria and France, oppose, Bri.
tain's policy will be the occupation OF
Egypt, a course rendered necessary by
the vital Importance to Great Britain OF
the Suez Canal. Some prominent Eng

willing to hold his title under the sover-

hundred and fifty half.pay officers Of the

the hatred OF the Russians that positions
