LONDON. Aug. ls.-The deadlock that has pro-
vailed during the last few days In the pesco
negotiations at Constantinople Is owing to Great
Britain. alone OF all tho powers. opposing
the proposal that Turkey shall occupy the
towns Of Trikala. Larissa, and Volo. In Thossaly.
pending the payment of the indemnity to her by
Greece. This has produced a situation which,
according to the views held in certain quarters,
will involve the breakup OF the concert Of the
powers.
Lord Salisbury contends that Greece Is inca
pablo OF finding the money to pay tho indemni-
ty. consequently the Turkish occupation would
become permanent. This would DO a violation
OF the agreement OF 1881. as well as OF the prin-
ciplcs upon which the negotiations are proceed
ing.
Even Franco and Italy are opposed to tho
stand taken by Great Britain, they taking the
view that II would be reasonable to allow Tur-
key to evacuate Trikala, Larissa. and Volo one
by one as tho installments Of the indemnity were
paid.
1t would DO most difficult to forecast the out
come. The Rloomiest views are held In some
quarters. Great Britain's attitude has unques-
tionably intensified tho Ottoman hostility to
herself. and suggestions arc made that tho
Mohammedan troubles on the Indian frontier
are connected Herewith.

LONDON, Aug. ls.-Two courts martial will DO
held on board the battlcship Royal Sovereign at
Portsmouth tomorrow for tho purpose OF trying
a number OF sailors belonging to that vessel
upon tho charge OF assaulting officers. There
being insufficient room for the confinement Of
all of the prisoners on board the battleship.
some OF them have been sent ashore and put in
cells in Portsmouth.
The Captain OF tho Royal Sovereign declares
that tho story told this morning by the
Daily Mad regarding the trouble on that vessel
was exaggerated and untrue. Instead OF the
cells being filled with prisoners and q largo
number Of men In irons on deck. he says that
there arc only two men in irons on board tho
ship.
He admits that there have been several deser-
lions and that q number OF minor offences have
been committed by MEMBERS Of the crew. Those
offences, he adds. arose from tho fact that the
men received shore leave after tho manouvrea.
but the men who were guilty Of them arc con-
hrmed black shoep.
