LONDON, August 15-The DaGy Telegraph
has the following dispatch from Constan-
tinople: "Several OF the stipulations pro-
posed in the military convention are con-
sidered unacceptable to Turkey. The
proclamation against ArabI Pasha wil1
not be issued until the convention is
signed. The session of the conference to-day
was exclusively occupied with the consid-
Grafton of the proposal Of Count Corti, the
Italian Ambassador, for collective police
supervision of the suez canal, which was
finally agreed to as a temporary measure,
with modification submitted by Lord Duff
ferin, the British Ambassador, permitting
the landing Of troops. The proposition was
then embodied in the protocol.
"The Turkish objection to the military
convention was not brought forward by
Said Pasha.
ga Jaa0Gi6 states that Arabi Pasha has
already been semi officially acquainted with
the terms Of the proclamation declaring
him rebel. He has been informed that the
Sultanwould grant him free pardon should he
make submission, but If he refuse strong
measures shall be taken to enforce his obe-
acts OF Arab Pasha as contrary to the inter-
ests of Islam"
