the European press on the subject OF
conditions of peace is remarkable. The
semi official press, the Times" the
"Novoe Vremya,' the Temps" the
North German Gazette and the
'Fremdenblatt' are as one in the Wig
orous terms in which they denounce
Turkeys pretensions. Now that the
last obstacle to a speedy armistice is
removed by Germany, which temper
arily blocked things, she having in
structed her ambassador at Constan-
tinople, Baron Won Saurm- Jeltsch, to
join the other ambassadors in pressing
upon the Porte the necessity of agreeing
upon an armistice, it can be taken for
granted that with the innumerable
forms of coercion ready to the hands
of the Powers, the Sultan will yield to
the inevitable within a day or two, es-
pecially as the capture of the Greek po-
sitions at Domokos will go far to sat
isfy the Turkish war party
An order telegraphed to Edhem
Pasha to cease hostilities probably in
dicates that the Turkish Government
is about to yield to the demands of the
Powers. 1t is further stated that the
Porte is now disposed to enter into ne
gotiations to bring about permanent
peace with Greece upon terms less
Onerous than those which have been
heretofore demanded
There is no confirmation here of the
report of disturbances at Athens,
though no doubt there are grounds to
fear popular manifestation.

The actual Greek losses so far have
been small. in consequence of the

Turks, who were much exposed. must
have lost heavily.
