time will have to be afforded them g.,
MS to obtain complete European en-
dorsement In the Roumelian trouble,
aud advise the sultan TO continue his
peaceful policy. They do not, how
ever, dispute the porte's right to send
troops into Roumelia to assert his
rights in that province. II is gener-
ally believed the powers have advised
Bulgaria, Servia aud Greece more
strongly than heretofore to remain
quiet. The porte's note regarding
the ornaments of Greece and Servia
gave the powers ground TO protest
against their warlike attitude.
The report that Greece had offered
to form an alliance with Turkey ID
unfounded. The ambassadors have
adjourned their sittiugs, but will re-
assemble shortly, when 1t Is expected
they will have received further In
structioDs from their respective gov
ernments In relation TO fiual de-
cision.
The porte considers the note of the
ambassadors satisfactory, but has In
timatcd that he will not recognize
the Bulgarian union, no matter what
their decision may be.
