tive in delaying her acceptance of

ence is now explained. Russia
makes a distinction between the
bases for preliminaries for peace
and the prelimaries themselves.

STA Is now intent upon concerning
the preliminaries which are to be
founded upon those bases. Only
after the completion of the prelim-
inaries does she intend to 60 to the
conference. For the completion
of the preliminaries Gen. Ignatief'
is going to Adrianople.
ADRIANoPLE, Feb. 6th.-The de-
lay in signing the armistice was
caused by the refusal OF Server and
Namyk Pashas to accept the con-
dition creating the principality of
Bulgaria, which they declared
would be the destruction of the
Turkish Empire in Europe. The
Grand Duke Nicholas was not au-
thorized to modify the terms,
so the negotiations came to
a stand still. The plenipotentia-
ries telegraphed to the Porte for
instructions, but, up to the 28th of
January, had not received them,
so the Russians continue to adj
vance on Constantinople.
LONDON, Feb. 7th.-The Daily
NeDs gives the statements of sew
eral members of the Plenipoten-
tiariss's suite declaring In much
stronger terms than those of Server
Pasha, that Lord Beaconsfield and
Layard were responsible for the
Turkish persistence and that Lay
ard uniformly declared that Eng
land would intervene.
