LONDON Jan. 8, 1877.
Once more the news from the East Is warlikc and
the hopes OF peace founded on the late apparently
concliatory attitude Of the negotiating Powers
now giving place to a belief that war cannot DO
born and is irritating the representative Of the
English government which is his best--almost his
only-friend in Europe to-day. The Conference, to
all intents and purposes, has proved failure.
THE PORTE PROPOSITIONS REJECTED.
The HERALD correspondent at Constantinople
telegraphs that the Conference at its meeting yes.
terday decided to reject the counter propositions
submitted by the Turkish delegates. General Ig.
natlen In accordance with his previously expressed
determination, demanded his passport, considering
the negotiations virtually at an end and that he
has no further business at Constanlinoplc. The
English, French and Italian ambassadors also de-
manced their passports.
TRYING TO ApPEAsE THE IRRITATION.
the Porte Is endeavorng to appease the foreign
representatives by vague promises OF reform in the
Christian provinces, while still perslsting in Its
refusal to accept the conditions proposed by the Con-
ference, and censures the perturbation caused by
its action as being unnecessary. The Conference
will meet again to-day and decisive news is ex-
pected.
UNCERTAIN RUMoRs
The dispatches from the East, published here,
are vague and In many cases contradictory but all
tend to confirm the belief that the Conference is a
failure and that, except some at present unfore.
seen incident occurs the result must be war.
