THE EASTERN SITUATION
European Governments Tire Of
Turkeys Dilatory Tactics.
PORTUGAIs NOTE TO THE PORTE

Unless Turkey Appoints n Day to Dis
cuss the Strategic Frontier the AM
bassadors WIN Request Their GOV
ernments to Adopt Energetic Meas
ures.
London, July 9.-Eastern affairs show
but little change during the last "a
hours. A sensational newspaper in
Paris published a rumor yesterday that
NJ Hanotaux, minister of foreign af-
fairs, had informed the cabinet that
matters In the east were very serious
and that Admiral Besnard the minister
Of marine, had instructed the admiral
in command of the Mediterranean
fleet to mobilize his forces with view
of making a naval demonstration in
the Bosphorus. but this Is regarded as
unnecessarily alarmlst.
More to the purpose Is the fact that
Austria Hungary has presented a note
to the porte declaring that unless the
Turl1ish government appoints a day
for the Turkish military commissioner
to discuss with the European attaches
the stragetic frontier proposed by Eu-
rope the ambassadors viii request their
respective governments to adopt ener-
getic measures.
According to the best information
obtainable this strategic frontier would
give Turkey about 200 square hlo-
meters of territory in the district of
Metsovo and some villages in the
Tyrnavos district. The indemnity
would be e4,5OO,OOO, Turkish, e1,5OOOO0
to be paid on the departure of the
Turks from Thessaly, and an equal
amount in the course of a year a
Franco English company raising the
money by farming the Greek customs.
These concessions are made with a
view of enabling the sultan to over
come the objections of the war party
1t is the general belief that the ne
.gotiations are likely until the end OF
the year. when winter will compel
Turkey to withdraw her troops from
Thessaly just now, while the weather
is good and food abundant, Is is COM
paratively easy to keep them there.
An imperial order has been issued to
the commandant of the Dardenelles to
prepare for the sailing of the Turkish
fleet under sealed orders.
