An carly settlement OF tho Montenegro question
alone save Turkey from almost immediate war. The
Porte hesitates It has every Of the great
crises through which II has passed. There exists
great point OF difference in Turkeys attitude, how
ever-namcly, that while she was begerent BEFORE

the aggressive Power. Tho belief in war continues "a

seems to DO no doubt that the protocol and
tho Montenegrn ultimatum win be politely
fused Everything Ia waiting for the decision

accompanying declarations He declared that the Bull

agisatora He said tho promised reforms werc being
carried out and the Porto would speedily send the
Powers . circular despatch to tho foregoing effect
The Porto does object to the protocol, but Count

demand for Niosics, but still ask for Spuss
and the right bank OF the Moratscha River but the
rurxs describing these demands unjust, offer mod-
ned Conversations An understanding may yet be
Effected especially n tho Powers should propose fresh
agreements, requiring Turkeys signature also.
The French and Russian representatives have
particularly urged upon the Porte to accept
the protocol and send envoy to St. Petersburg,
pointing out that IL Is not question Of preliminary
disarmament but OF coming to an understanding with
Russia Nevertheless. Il 10 thought probable that the
Porto viii refuse accept tho protocol One Of the
principal obstacles 10 an arrangement Is the qucs
