VIENNA, June 1.-THE answer of the porte
to the identical note is better than anticipated,
as it accepts the decision of the powers and
places itself upon the same basis with them.

should not interfere with the free decision of

porte would submit before knowing the de-
cisiou of the powers. The inference is that the
action of the powers has rot failed to produce
some impression upon the sultan as to the
seriousness of his position.
