LONDON, Feb. 24.-The late hopefulness
in the eventuation of peace has suffered
great reaction the past day or two. Parlia-
apprehensions. One member who enjoys
high condolences said to-day, privately, that
it was believed Russia would endeayor to
POSTPONE THE CONFERENCE.
Meanwhile she will force Turkey to accept
terms that would place that country, includ-
ing Constantinople, to a pledge for the pay
ment of war indemnity. England will not
consent to contingency of this kind. This
same member thinks Russia will provoke
war. In Constantinople official circles are
CONFUSED OVER THE SITUATION.
It is believed there that one Of the terms
of peace is the surrender of the Turkish
fleet, and furthermore an almost impossible
war indemnity and territorial concessions.
Preparations are making for the removal of
the Sultan across the cha114el to Asia. In
London the situation is
CONSIDERED VERY GRAVE.
an overwhelming Russian force is being con-
centrated at Tchataldja. The feeling in
Paris is one of less confidence in the main
tenance of peace. Military circles consider
the undertaking of England
NOT TO LAND TROOPS
either side of the Dardanelles as mistake.
1t is reported from Vienna that Roumania
has in principal accepted the proposal for
CEss1oN OF BEssARABIA
to Russia in exchange for part of the
Dobrudscha. The situation up to the latest
hour here from the standpoint of the peace
party is that the incident relating to
THE TURKISH FLEET
has been settled by the Sultan agreeing not
to cede it to England, whereupon Russia
yielded her demand for its surrender. Also
that the peace negotiations are about at an
end, and that the treaty will be signed within
twenty four hours.
