THE TURKISH WAR.


Il LoNDoNi NuNeulueE ~ 4nS 4 UH V44'
Gazette to-day prints the following very
prominently: We believe the statement
that the armistice was signed yesterday
to be incorrect. The Russian ultimatum
seems to have interrupted the arrange
ments in point OF completion when II ar
rived. In all probability the signature is
only delayed.
ARNIsT1cE FOR TWO MONTHS.
LONDON, November LA Cabinet
council has been summoned for Saturday
next.
A dispatch from Belgrade announces
that the diplomatic officers there say
that the Porte has accepted an armistice
Of two months and ordered It's army com.
manders to suspend hostilities.
SUNDAYS BArrLEs.
A correspondent OF the Ners with Gen.
Tchernayetfis army telegraphs that
journal description Of Sundays battles
and the position Of affairs afterwards.
The following are extracts: The Turks
fought with dogged pertinacity, and
occasionally with a brilliant dash which
claims the highest admiration. The
Russians fought hard and stoutly,
but they had borne the brunt
Of fight after fight in this very position,
and as for the Servians It was not their
day. The full weight and significance oil
the Servians defeat Is not easily TO esti.
mate, and it is too early to form an
opinion Of the loss incurred. We do
not know where the troops are, TO say
nothing OF the wounded, many OF whom 1
fear never will be brought in. The Deli
grad wing Of the army Is in condition
Of decentralization and temporary disper-
sion. Gen. Harvatovich, with the right
wing Is retiring out OF reach Of the
Turks, and 1t would be folly for him TO
offer battle. The Russian officers are
leaying-they decline to be massacred
for people whom they denounce as desti.
tute Of all martial spirit. They have no
words to express their contempt and dis
gust for the pusillanimity Of the Servian
soldiers.
suNDRY REPORTS.
LONDON, November 1.-Therc'are va
rious reports concerning Turkeys, reply
In regard to the armistice. A Reuters
telegram from Belgrade is as follows 1t
ia said that Seryia has accepted the two
months armistice, which had been agreed
to by Turky, as already announced.
The Vienna Id9Sblatt, in q special edi-
ton, publishes dispatch from It's corre-
spondent at Belgrade, according to which
the Porte is willing 10 accept an armis-
tice OF any length, but demands informa-
tion beforehand as to condition OF peace.
The latest from Constantinople is q
special which says that the Porte's reply
in still unknown, but expected favorable.
There was another extraordinary
council Of the Ministers to-day.
1t is reported that the Turks have en-
tered Deligrad.
SIGNED THE ARMIsrIcE.
LONDON, November 1.-The Standards
Belgrade special declares the statement
fully confirmed that the Porte has agreed
to q two months armistice, with power to
renew it for Six months. The same dis
patch reports that Kruscheyatz is in
flames.
The Post says editorially: We under.
stand that the Russian ultimatum is
couched in peremptory terms, and is ac-
companied by angry language. The Sui
tan Is required to sign an armistice for
six weeks or two months, and the Porte is
informed that its conduct in continuing
hostilities while negotiations were pend.
ing is strongly resented.
THE BASQUE PROVINCES.
The Standards dispatch from Madrid
reports that Gen. Quesada yesterday held
conference with the Ministers on the
state OF the Basque provinces. The army
OF occupation will be reinforced, and
Quesada returns to Biscay Immediately.
The conservative press urge an energetic
policy against the growing disatiection
displayed in the attitude Of the Biscayan
Deputies and towns.
REPoRT CONFIRMED.
A Times special from Belgrade confirms
the report that two months armistice
has been agreed to. 1t also says that the
levy en- masse has been countermanded,
and that the Turks have entered and
burned Krushevatz. Whatever may be
the result Of the negotiations for per-
manent peace, Servia will fight no more
and Russian volunteers are not likely to
come again to fight tor her.
The Times, in leading article, says
there is every reason to believe that an
armistice is already agreed upon.
The Vienna correspondent: OF the Times
says, as a proof Of how far things had
gone before the ultimatum was sent, that
the Porte befor It's receipt had effectually
informed Abdul Kerim that an armis-
tice was concluded and hostilities should
cease on November l. The arrival Of
the ultimatum seemed to surprise Gen.
Ignatieff as much as any one. II Ia re-.
ported that one.third Of the Russian pri-
Yates and half OF the Russian officers in
the Servian army have been killed or
wounded.
Aspecial 10 the Ners from Paratschin
reports that Gen. Tchernayef is still at
that place with Prince Milan.
The NewS says we understand that
Gladstone will contribute to Hdrper's
Monthly for December paper explaining
his attitude towards the United States
during the civil war.

keys offer OF two month"; armiStice

ter proposition to Russia's ultimatum.
