this course, the Foreign Minister
telegraphed to the Turkish Ambas-

request Lord Derby to arrange
with Russia the conditions of an
armistice. Lord Derby replied
that Russia would not entertain
such proposal and counseied
direct negotiations between the
belligerents. 1t is stated that nego-
tiations continue between England
