THE TEN DAYS ARmISTICE.
Turkey's Proposals for Pence Disc approved By
the Great Powers Of Europe.

LONDON, Sept. 18.--The Ttmes's Vienna
despatch says the Porte, upon notifying the am
bassadors OF the suspension Of hostii les, added
that orders to that effect could not DO given
publicly Tor fear OF agitation among tho Mo-
hammedans. Among tho ambassadors at Con-
stantinople the impression seems indeed to he
that the Turkish proposal, as IT now stands,
might be considered satisfactory but the Gov
ernments who have to decide In the last in
stance have not spoken yet.
Another dispatch from Vienna to tho Times
explains that the compromise which was effected
between the views OF the Porte and the powers
by the meditation OF Mr.. Elliot, the British
Ambassador, Is as follows: "The difference be-
tween the answer as first drawn up ond that
which has now been adopted Is material, for
while In the former an armistice made
directly dependent on an agreement about the
conditions Of peace, In the latter an armistice
was promised II the powers will only take into
consideration the conditions proposed by Tur-
KEY. which 1t is said might be modified and alto
gother changed" There are numerous conflict
ing accounts OF tho views OF the powers In re-
gard to tho Turkish proposals.
The Ttmcs's Berlin despatch.says the Turkish
terms are disapprOved. but AS the powers failed
to concert common programme, the immcdi-
ute result Of the Turkish demand will be nothing
worse than continuation Of the Servian war
and an increase OF Russian nuxiliaries IN the
servlan camp. IL Is not apprehended that Rus
STA will carry out her throat Of direct interior
ence as long "a the Sorvians manage to hold
DelRrad and Alexinatz, and as the autumnal
rains are commencing, the Servians are pretty
safe " thoy can hold out few weeks longer.
What Russia might be tempted to do were tho
Servians to sustain crushing defeat before
they are aided by the weather, Is a different
question.
A despatch from Belgrade says Gen. Tcherna-
yehs army on Saturday proclaimed Price Milan
King OF Servia.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Sept. 1s.-An mperial trade
to-day announces that orders have been issued
for the cessation Of hostilitos for ten days, be-
ginning with Sept II.
LONDON, sept. l9.-The Standards Belgrade
special says the retreat Of the Servans across
the Driua was caused by an alarming rise of the
river, and was well timed for soon after they
Withdrew, the plain in which their camp had
been pitched was covered with vast sheet Of
water. Their headquarters are now at Pei
toracb, opposite favor.
Gen. Tchernayef's freak in causing Prince
Milan to be proclaimed King by tho army Is pro-
ductive Of much annoyance. The Porte init
mates that the truce will cease on the 18th inst,
but expresses tho hope that by that time the
European covers Will have fully considered the
terms of peace.
The general opinion In Belgrade Is that peace
Il further on than ever. Russians continue to
pour In. and great preparations are making for
winter campaign. Minister Rstics has made
official com plant that the Turks do not respect
the truce, and states on the authority of Gen.
Ichemayef that they made an attack on the
Serylans IN sunday.
pro bable that the Porte will resume hostiliiies
at the expiration OF the ten days truce bee use
tho Servian army declared Milan KIM Of Servla;
