upon that basis only. After the completion:
of the preliminaries she intends to go to the

| WHY THE DELAY.
A correspondent says the delay in signing
the armistice was caused by the refusal O,
Servia and Hamyk Pasha to accept thu con
dition creating the principally of Bulgaria
which they declared would be destructive o:
the Turkish empire in Europe. The Crane
Duke Nicholas was not authorized to modif,
the terms, SO negotiations came to a stand
still. The plenipotentaries telegraphed te
the Porte for instructions, but up to the 28tl
of January had not received them, SO tht
Russians continued to advance On Constan
tinople.

several members of the plenipotentiaries de
clared in much stronger terms than those o
Server Pasha that Lord Beaconsfield ant
Layard were responsible for the Turkish per
; sistence, and that Layard informally de
clared that England would intercede.
