SITUATION STRAINED,
Sultan Delaying the Negotiations
for Peace.
Powers Still Remain Firm In the Po-
sition They Have Taken.

Constantinopls. July &-The delay in
the peace negotiations between Greece
and Turkey is creating apprehensions
and a strained situation is the result.
Everything tends TO show that the sultan
is desrous OF gaining time, either In the
bopo of a Disagreement of tho powers or
in order to allow the excitement among
Mohammodans To calm down before
yielding. The powers, however, remain
united and are apparently determined not
10 yield anything but strategic rectifl
cation OF frontier. The question most
discussed in political circles is whether.
in the event of contumacy OF Turkey the
Powers will proceed 60 cOerce her aud IL
is not believed they could be brought to
net i'm unison on this point. The rreva-
lent opinion. however, is that the sultan
will finally yield.

anco for IL could not be honestly claimed
that the insurance money was any part OF
