London. May 2S. 8 a. m.-The Daily
Nails correspondent says: 1.-THE porte has
repIied to the Tote of the powers and con-
sents to negotiate for peace provided the
Greek commanders first sign an armistice.
AS soon as this is done, the government
will negotiate as to the peace conditions
with the ambassadors, and the treaty will
he signed by the Turkish and Hellenic
Observation-Disclosures in Thessaly."
The correspondent of the Standard at
Constantinople says: 1.-The immediate en-
tourage of the sultan favors restoring
,rbossalv to Greece The Turkish foreign
minister has spoken ON the subject in a
conciliatory tone to the Baron di Calico,
the Austro-Hungarian ambassador, asking
only A little delay to let the public ex-
element subside.
oy,n the other hand. the whole official
and religious world, including the Shiek
II Islam. denounces the idea of restora-
tion. while every military measure points
IN retention. Even those who had sup
4 nosed that the sultan was manufacturing
4 the excitement in order to exact better
terms of the powers think he has gone
ZOO far and lost control of the public.
Italy does not conceal her extreme irri-
q tation at Germany's policy, which is so
& openly and persistently directed against

of deliberately plotting to produce rup-
Il ture between the two countries"
n 4 dispatch to the Post from CONSTANT

n has given orders for the forwarding of
a thirty battalions from Syria for service
s on the Servian and Bulgarian frontier,

The correspondent of the Times at Ath-
4 ems says: THE dispatches which the
government has received from Greeks
. abroad indicate that the peace negotia-
tons have taken a turn more favorable
to Greece. Turkeys proposal to occupy
Thessaly no longer receives any consid-
Grafton owing to Englands attitude, while
the proposal to abolish the capitulations
in the case of Greek subjects in Turkey
is rejected, and the suggested extradition
treaty is apparently set aside.
The powers have fixed 100000 as the
highest limit of indemnity, and will al
low only such strategic alteration of the
frontier as will not involve the subsection
of any inhabited district to Turkish rule.
Germany's demand for an international
control of Greek finances has not been
favorably received, as the government
hopes to raise a loan abroad, on the grant
of England, Russia and France, at low
interest, to pay the indemnity, conceding
certain revenues. but not accepting the
a principle of foreign control"

lonca telegraphing Wednesday, says: II
