regarded end. Gen Ignatien, the Russian penpo-
Tertiary spoke similarly he declared the POrtes pro-

Reuter- dispatches from COnstantinopic say: Gen.
Ignae at the meeting OF the Conference on Saturday
after abiding TO the efforts he bad made to avert
war, declared that IL the Porte should disregard
the armistice take any action hostile to Mon
tenero and serya, or il the Christian inhabitants Oh
Turkey should be subjected to any hardsaps Europe
would treat such proceedings provocati0n, ana woud

ference The ambassadors OF the Europtn Powers have
requested audiences with the Sultan for tie purpose OF

The Berlin correspondent OF The Times teiegraphs mat
Russia IL beginning TO represent ID the Powers
that the demands Of the Conference nav
ing been rejected it devOlves upon Europe 70
take more forcible proceedings. Should Europe as Is
certain nd it impossible joint action, Rus
STA will be able declare that tho failure OF the Confer
ence is the defeat OF Europe, not OF Russia Meanwhe
appears that Russia wishes to make some arrange
meat with Austria respecting JOINT occupation OF
Bulgaria and Bosnia. Count Andrssy VII hardly agree
to this whatever he may be driven % 10 II the Russans
act on their own responsibility The steady re-
enforcement of the Russian army probably means
no more than that the Russians Will cross tie
Pruth but without any Immediate Intention OF
crossing the Danube. It Is problbls that Turkey would
toleraete presence OF the Russians in Rounanli Tor
short timc after which napcii strain caused by the
large armaments which sue has been compelled to keep
