Tkc Eastern Question.
BOTH PARTIES ANXIOUS FOR PEACE


LONDON, April IA Berlin dispatch to
the Times states that the alarming aspect OF
the situation, though apparent, Is not real.
Both parties are anxious for peace; but the
Russians wish to derive some benefit from
the rehabilitation by representing that the
Porte is acting under pressure; and the
Turks desire to avoid even Semblancc OF
submission. Thus the Russians threaten war,
and the Turks flavor their concession OF
disarmament with an admixture OF indie
pendent language.
LITTLE HOPE OF A PACIFIC SETTLEMENT.
ST. PETERsBURGu, April 12.-Le journal
de ST. Petersburgh states there is no further
hope that Turkey will accede to the de-
mandS Of Europe.
The GGlos declares the present state OF
things such as leave scarcely any hope of
pacific settlement. The Russians occupa-
ton OF the Christian provinces OF Turkey
would be logical consequence OF the re-
fusaI OF the Porte to carry out the demands
OF the protocol. Such occupation would
exclude all idea Of the ambitious designs
attributed to Russia, who by intervening in
behalf OF the Christians would solely pursue
humanitarian ends.
THE TURKISH CIRCULAR DELIVERED.
ST. PETERsBuRGH, April 12.-The Turk
ish circular was delivered to the Russian
Government this morning. The Agence
Russo describes it as categorically refusing
the demands Of the Powers and putting an
end to all further discussion.
A telegram from Cettinge says the Prince
Of Montenegro will reject any proposal for
prolongation OF the armistice.
