Constantinople, May 19.-There was
sudden and unexpected change in the
political situation shortly before noon
tuesday. Russia quietly showed her
hand and thereby forced Germany and
Turkey out of the game to all intents
and purposes. The ministers received
Official advices from Sofia Tuesday an
nouncing that orders had been issued
for the partial mobilization Of the Bull
garian army, possibly at the instigation
OF Russia. There was hurried con-
sultation of the ministers. The war
party was for further defiance, But in
the end pacific counsels seemed to have
prevailed, for, at 1885 a. M, orders
were telegraphed to Edhem Pasha, the
Turkish commander in chief in Thes-
sally, to cease hostilities. ~ sae. A. s4l ~ j.,
1t transpires that the car made di-
rect appeal to the sultan to order his
troops to cease hostilities and arrange
an armistice, and this coupled with the
fact that most serious results would
have ensued if Turkey had persisted in
her defiant attitude brought about the
present state Of affairs. Tewfik Pasha.
the Turkish minister for foreign affairs,
called upon the doyen of the diplo-
matte corps, Baron Won Calico, to con-
vey to the foreign ministers the sultan's
decision to arrange an armistice.
