1t is be lieved an important decision is pending

CoxsrASTINorLE, FEBRUARY ). The office of
Grand VIzler Is abolished new ministry is to
be formed as follows:
Ahmed Nefk Efendi, President and Minister
of Interior; Server Pssha, Foreign Affairs Raouf
Pasha, War; Sadyk Pasha, Marine; kirnau Pa
sha, Finance.
A PARIS CORE spondent says he received on high
authority confirmation Of the rumor that
Rus STA is negotiating for the surrender of the
whole Turkish fleet.
LONDON, February ). The Vienna correspond
ent Of the Times telegraphs that no attempt is
made in st. Petersburg TO remove the suspicion
that the Russian commanders in Roumania dehb
eratev procrastinated the negotiations in order to
take the gre aest possible advantage Of the mill
tary situatian according to hints from Berlin
where the intentions aud aims of Russia all along
were pretty accurately fol eshadowed, for greater
is laid in ST. Peter sburg on the military than
on the negotiations just considered.
The fact that considerable reinforcements of
Russian troops continue to stream through Blu
charest to Bulgaria, that besides the operating
forces in Bulgsrla aud Roumania the army OF
reserve in Roumdna IS being steadily increased
and that the creation of forty four fresh battalions
to be formed into four new divisions, have just
been ordered by the car, all show the importance
attached TO the military attitude to be assumed in
the conquered territory during the peace negota
tons.
The cars speech at the review of the troops at
St. Petersburg yesterday, seems to point in the
same direction.
According to Berlin telegram TO Pesther Lloyd
the passage of the Russian troops through Con-
stsntnople forms part of the stlpulations though
this would only be done after the conclusion Of
peace and for the purpose OF embarklng part of
The army there on theirway home.
The Times Athens despatch says the conclu-
sion of the armistice caused CONSERVATION though
the Russian minister here gave verbal promise
that Greece should be included in the armlstice.
The only rational thing for the Greeks to do is to
stop military operations Immediately and rely on
this promise and the good offices of Europe, but
no order has yet been sent the army and the gen.
elal feeling seems in favor of continuing the war
at any sacrifice.
