Defense of Constantinople---Con Conflicting
Reports but Majority Peaceful.
LONDON, Jan. 20.-A Vienna correspond
ent telegraphs the following: It is reported
from Constantinople that in consequence of
the decision taken at the government council
on the 18th, Jzyed Bey has been sent to Rus
sian headquarters with the first instructions
to Turkish plenipotentiaries giving them full
powers to sign, whereas they at first were in
structed to refer the conditions to the porte.
It is said this resolve was taken in conse-
quence of the pacific tone of England at the
opening of the British Parliament, and also
because Russia has given notice she will in
sist on immediate acceptance or rejection of
terms.
In consequence of new instructions to
Plenipotentiaries it is expected in CONSTANT
nople, the armistice will be signed immed-
ately, perhaps Monday. Preparations for
the Sultan's removal to Russia are conse-
quently suspended.
A Pera special also says Izzed Pasha con-
veys to the Plenipotentiaries full powers and
will inform them that England is not likely
to go to war.
Another correspondent at Pera says nego-
the Turkish representatives have been in
structed that they may offer to make Ba-
toum a free port. They may also propose
the following programme for discussion by
the European conference The Balkans to be
considered the southern limit of Bulgaria, Rou-
mania to be Independent, the Dardanelles to
be open to men of war of all nations, and the
settlement ofMontenegrin and Servian, ques-
ions to be temporarily deferred. Difficult
ties have already arisen. It is reported Rus
STA has demanded that Adrianople be inclu-
ded in Bulgaria. Also the cession of Ba-
toum and the opening of the Dardanelles be
tosRussian and Turkish men-of-war only.

Tense before Constantinople.
The exodus of refugees from Roumania is

No news of the Russian entry has, however,

DENIAL AND EXPLANATION.

agreed to in consequence of demands of
