LONDON, Oct 1.-The hopes enter
tn aiped last night of Q peaceiul settle
ment of the Roumelian question have
been shattered this morning by the re-
ceipt Of . despatch from Constan tinople
stating that the Conference has formally
declared TO the Porte Its disavowsl Of
the Bulgarian Roumelia n union.
The Porte Is awaiting the Anal reply
of tho powers before taking decisive
action. A portion Of the Cabinet re-
commends the recognition of the Bul.
sarian union. Other MON mbers are Of
the opinion that Greece and Servia
will remain tranquil II the union
should not be recognised. The military
party, viewing the silence Of the powers
as sign that they are not agreed - to
what course to pursue, urge that Bul.
garia be invaded that the great Bal
kans be occupied that the Bulgarian
town OF Widdin be given to King Milan
in order to weaken Bulsaria and CON.
cillate Servia and that the districts Of
Hermanli, Hnskeni and Pomak be
seized as war indemnity.
The Sultan hesitates between these
divergent counsels, leaning rather to
policy of conciliation. Meanwhile the
military preparations are unabated
Krupp has deem urged to hasten the
delivery of guns, payment for which
has been guaranteed Troops, horses
and field guns are being despatched to
the front night and day. The Moslems
are enthusiastic and volunteering in
large numbers and everything indicates
an early invasion of Bulgaria. In
leading Turkish circles the opinion is
express ed that the majority of the
powers are inclined to refuse to reoog-
nize the Bulgarian union, as they con-
| slider that that course would be the least
dangerous to European peace.
The Standard this morning says !:
"The Eastern problem could be dealt
with effectually If the triple alliance
were united, as it pretends to be. The
question now for Bismarck is how to
settle the pending difficulties 30 as to
prevent Russia and Austria from fight
ing. If the latter agree to insist upon
the status quo, or to force Servia to 1t,
Greece will be satisfied and Bismarck
will concur, but there appears to be
little chance that they will agree. It is
not for England to act as principal in
the miserable dispute, which Is only OF
secondary interest, though she might
cordially assist IL Germany and Austria
make the request"
Advices to the Novoe Vremya Of st.
Petersburg from Constantinople, sup.
lplied from the Russian Embassy there,
say that the Sultan has ordered Ex
Sdltan Mourad into exile in Arabia.
Mourad, who has been restored to
sanity, Joined in a plot to regain the
throne. TIE doctor attending him in
formed the Government, after warning
the leaders In the plot to desist from the
scheme.
