vantage.

IptO 9 O'Clock last night the Porte had no
advice OF the conclusion of an armiSlice.
though orders We're telegraphed to the Turk
iSh plenipotentiarieS on Friday to accept the
preliminarieS of peace. The delay causes ap-
prehenSiOn that the afmiStice may be accom-
panied by OnerOuS conditions. The Porte is
now in the peculiar position of having accept
ed terms of peace without knowing on
what conditions an armiStice will be granted.
An armiStice, if properly handled, must make
the Russians more than ever masters Of the
the line OF demarkatiOn. but the time during
which they may remain in possession of the
territory occupied This will leave their hands
free to settle details according 10 their own
views which in the peace preliminarieS have
given place to general principles. Thus. in
the latter with regard to Bulgaria, the future
limits of this province do not appear to have
been specified nor the degree 10 which au-
tOnOmy of Bulgaria or reforms in Bosnia and
Herzegovina are TO extend. The same seems
10 be the case with regard to an increase OF
territory for Montenegro. The ceSSiOn lef
R0umanian BeSSarabia is not mentioned, and
the question of the pardanelleS is reserved.
Nor is anything said about a march inio or
through ConStantinople. which seems rather
to he matter connected with the suspension
of arms. Meantime, the Russians, ServianS,
RoumanianS and MontenegrinS are pushing
military operations with great YigOr about
