PROGRESSING SLOWLY.
PERA, Feb. 27.-Peace negotiations are pro-
crossing slowly. The boundaries of Bulgaria
have hot been fixed and the question of in
1emnity has not been entered upon. The Rus
sian troops have advanced to Zeitenburnon,
three hundred yards from the Turkish powder
CONFERENCE DELAYED BY RUSSIA.
A Berlin correspondent telegraphs that Rus
garian, Governor of Bulgaria, subject to the
control of the Russian commandant. The
meeting of the conference is once more doubt
full, in consequence of the objections of Aus
tria and England to Russia's proposed imi-
tation of its programme.
VIENNA, Feb. ga dispatch from Constan- |
tinople maintains that the pause in the negoti- !
ations is owing to Russia insisting on the ces- |
sion of Turkish ironclads and the occupation Of
Constantinople. Advices are that England is
prepared to respond to such measures by enter
ing the Black sea. Germany is endeavoring to
mediate between England and Russia. The
task has not been much facilitated by the pub
LEGATION of peace conditions.
A Vienna dispatch says the idea of reorgani-
zation of Bulgaria to be superintendent by an
international commission, is attracting atten-
ton, but it is very doubtful whether Russia
would assent to any such proposal.
MORE HOPEFUL.
VIENNA, Feb. 27.-It is fully confirmed that
the demand for credit will not be brought be-
fore the chambers. A much more hopeful
impression prevails to-day. Satisfactory as
surances were received last night from St.
Petersburg and Berlin. Russia has renounced
the idea of the extension of Bulgaria to Salon
lea, and seems also inclined to renounce the
Kavesla boundary, and to limit the period of
military occupation Of Bulgaria, perhaps even
to six months.
EGYPTIAN TRIBUTE.
A st. Petersburg special says nothing is
known in official circles there of any stipula-
ton touching the Egyptian tribute.
GERMAN IRoNCLADs.
A Berlin dispatch reports that Germany is
preparing to send eight ironclads to the Medi-
terranean in the event of war.
GREEK SUCCESS.
ATHENS, Feb. 24.-Ofticial intelligence has
been received that the insurgents defeated
1900 Turks at Kukulis, in Epirus, Monday,
killing 200. M. Tricupis, minister Of foreign
affairs will leave shortly on special mission to
the courts Of all the powers.
FACE TO FACE WITH WAR.
LONDON, Feb. 2s.-The Standard says: ''We
are enabled to state that the rumors Of Lord
Derby's resignation are utterly unfounded."
The Standard in a leading article says: "An
that is really implied by the selection of Lord
Napier Of Magdala as commander-in-chief and
Sir Garnet Wolsley his chief of staff, is
that the terms of peace, if nnmodifed cannot
be sanctioned by England. We have been
brought face to face with war by the arrogant
and aggressive policy of Russia
| The Standard publishes another article dis
cussing the probable landing places of the Brit
| ish force near the sea of Marmora. The writer
thinks Besika Bay the most probable place.
| This, of course, is mere surmise, but the arti-
Gle shows very warlike tone. 1t says the first
army corps would probably proceed to the seat
of war without waiting for the second, which
is now strenuonsly preparing. It is possible,
of course, that even now we may not have to go
to war. Russia may pause in time before she
| provokes it.
The morning papers repeat yesterdays an
nouucement of the appointment of Lord Napier
and Gen. Wolsley, now giving it on authority.
A brigade eff guards have been raised to its
| war strength. There is great activity in the
brigade, which is completing arrangements
necessary for active service. All manufacturing
centres report great activity.
| Thus 600 sets field ambulance fittings and
800 tons of bayonet steel have been ordered in
Sheffield. The Wsolwich authorities have pur
| chased CUU miles OF telegraph wire IOC use Will
| torpedoes and material necessary for the con
veyance of stores and mountings of heavy guns
! in seige works.
/ The war office has ordered that no soldier
be transferred to the reserve until further in
structions. The Duke of Cambridge viii
specially inspect recruits at Aldershot on Fri
I day.
st. Petersburg correspondent says the state
ment that Russia stipulates for the cession O.
six iron clads and the payment of Turkish
bonds in full to Russian holders, is certainly
false.
GREER RESURRECTION.
i ATHENS, Il 27.-The Turkish minister hal
again explained to foreign diplomatists tina
the Greek government encourages insurrectio1
directly and indirectly. The diplomatists hay'
urgently protested 10 the government agains
any such encouragement.
RETRocEss1oN OF BEssARAB1A.
!, PARIS, Feb. GA telegram from Buchares
says Austria and England oppose the retroces
port them. It is said that Germany has coun
selled Russia to renounce her claims, but Rus
STA seems determined to persist.
LORD NAPIER TO COMMAND.
. LONDON, Feb. 27.-Lord Napier of Magdola
| governor or Gibraltar, has arrived here and ha,
= long conference with the Duke of Cambridge
commander-in-chief of the forces. The after
noon papers announce prominently that it ha
been decided to employ Lord Napier as con
mander-in-chief of any expeditionary force tina
, bay be sent out in case of war, with Major
! General Wellesley chief of staff.
3 A RATHER GENERAL DENIAL.
/ ST.. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27.-The 4gcnce Russ
/ says the conditions of peace published in Lon
t don are inaccurate. Russia has never demand
r ed the expulsion of the Mussulmen inhabitant
of Bulgaria. She has only demanded the REGAL
s of Turkish officials and troops. Russia doe
t not hand over portion of Bosnia to Servia
. The question of straits is reserved for the con
sideration of Europe. The published version
! contains other gross inaccuracies.
AUSTRIAS POLICY.
LONDON, Feb. GA Vienna correspondent
!, who is probably in sympathy with Coun
f Andrassy. says the peace at any price agitatro
. cannot prevent the government from carryin
I the credit through the Delegations and Reichs
4 rath, but if they should succeed in baking tn
governments policy the government will r.
: sign. Another correspondent says there is nc
. { much probability that Austria will do MOI
:, than protest against the terms of peace, what
o ever their character may be.
|, LONDON, Feb. 27.-The Times, in leadin
o editorial, says, the struggle is between Andral
s sy' policy of maintenance of Austrian inte
- ests, as heretofore declared, and the tempt;
:. tions offered by Russia to couaterbalance thos
Il interests.
L Berlin, Feb. pa trustworthy letter fro
g Vienna says, as the amount of credit asked b
IS Count Andrassy is only sixty million form
r there Is no ground to apprehend that Coul
;s Andrassy means to make use of it, simply [
mobilize the army. The object of the vote
credit is rather that the government may be an
d. have the appearance of being prepared for a
i, emergencies.
