LONDON, July 3.-Despite tho most sanguine
reports from Constantinoplo Of tho speedy scttlo-
nsnt OF peace negotiations, the situation is far
trop satisfactory. The retirement OF NJ. Neli-
sof. tho Russian Ambassador. is an event OF
much Importance, but its full significance has
not yet been made known. THE Sun corre-
rpondent telegraphs to-day that the change wns
made at NJ. Nelidoff's request.
The latest request OF Tewfk Pasha for tho
reinforcement of the peace negotiations exasper-
atss the Ambassadors and Is construed as
sratutous trihing. Some of them are convinced
that the Sultan will persist to tho end in his
determination to annex Thessaly north Of the
selanvria The Turkish officers refuse to dis
euss with tho military attaches the question Of
the frontier dcmarcation in the sense proposed
BY the Ambassadors. Tho lattenare waiting for
the Porto to give the necessary instructions to
its representatives on tho commission.
