WHAT TIE PROTOCOL COVERS
Tae protocol was signed at half-past tour this
lneynoon In this city. Its terms, the best IN
formation obtanable are those OF rather shad-
owy compromise instead Of condition CT dis
armament being formally embodied as England
originally demanded, Count Schouvalof, on signing,
makes a declaration IN the name of the Russian
government expressing its readiness TO dlsarm in
expectation OF peace being concluded with Monte
negro; and on the condition that the Turks now
follow the advice Of the Powers and especially that
they cease all repetition OF the atrocities on the
Christians.

1t leaves things as they were. Turkey called TO ac-
count plus piece OF parchment, plus deep seated
Indignation In Russia and her German ally. II is
thought IN some quarters that the Ambassadors
