London special says: From the diplomatic
failure yesterday in Constantinople, it APP
pears that the sincere desire of the Great
Powers to hasten the solution of the Rou-
melian problem is to great extent ham
pered by the claims, threats and actions Of
minor States. From Athens, Belgrade,
Bucharest and Montenegro the unpleasant
intelligence is transmitted to the Cabinets
of the Great Powers that if Eastern ROu-
melia is to be finally annexed to Bulgaria,
then Greece, Servia, Roumelia and Monte
negro must have adequate territorial COM
pensation. The position of Great Britain,
France. Germany and Italy in this question
is Enthusiastically different from that of
| Russia or Austria-Hungary. The former
/ Cabinets are equally animated by desire to
hasten as much as possible the solution of
! question which threatens to compromise the
peace Of Europe, and arc anxious that the
informal Conference now sitting at Con-
stantinople should solve the question in
some manner compatible with the dignity
| of the Powers which signed the Berlin
treaty. But it is undeniable that the true
nature of the Roumelian revolu ton lies in
the fact that besides raising the whole East
! ern question anew, it has again brought to
/ the front the question of Austrian or Rus
| sian preponderance in the Balkan peninsula.
