PEACE NOT YET ASSURED.
EEfRS THAT THE PROTOCOL UILL I'm
REFLECTED BY TURKEY.
A Probability OF n Deadlock on tho Question
OF Disarmament Neither Russia Nor Tur~
Key willing to be the First 20 DI.arm


LONDON, March 2i.-A despatch from VI
emma to the Times says: whether II is bccnuss
OF delay after an understanding has already
been pronounced as perfect and the signature
Of the protocol is impending. or because Of soms
other cause which Is not yet made public, corr
tain 1t Ia that the prospects are not now looked
upon as quito 80 hopeful. and fear seems to
have arisen lest tho advantages expected from
the protocol might provo deceptive. In tho first
place. grave doubts are entertained Of the Porto
giving its adhesion In any shape to tho protocol.
which IL said TO have already been sent TO Com
stantinoplc through the Turkish Ambassador
at London. The Porto seems still TO dcfcnd tho
position which it took during tho conference.
and will point TO the Constitution and to tho
newly opened Parliament 1t thinks itself 80
much more justified in doing. as II has Ivy
Safvet Pashas lato note taken the initiative in
the matter OF reform advocated by the powers.
Another difficulty is that even II Simultaneous
disarmament Of Russia and Turkey be pros
posed, the Porte. with the MOnt"ncgrin npgO-
tntions unsettled and insurrccton in Bosnia
showing signs Of revival. may not think iiSolf
in position to disarm Immediately. All thcsa
apprchensions may. after all, be but temporary
reaction after the late Sanglline hopes"
