'The petition which have brought

AUSTRIA AND TURKEY.

LONDON, Nov. 17.-It now appears
that the statement made yesterday in
special dispatch from Vienna that the
Turkish government IN reply TO the de-
mands OF Baron de Calice, the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador to the Porte, had
agreed to salute the Austrian flag after
dIsmisslng the vail OF Adana, and the
mutossarlf of Merslna for lndlgnitles
offered to the Austrian, BrazZafolli, was
premature. The Porte has not yet
yielded to the Austrian demands
Dispatches from Vienna announce
that up to midnight Tuesday no lntl-
nation had been received OF the inten-
tlon OF the Turkish government to dis
miss the offending officials. or 20 salute
the flag. II, however. the Austrian
demands are not complied with by
noon tomorrow (Thursday) Baron de
Calice will leave Constantinople and
the Austrian warships will depart for
Messlna.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Times says: at is now expected that
the sultan will hold out until the last
moment and then yield, which may ap-
pear to him clever stroke OF diplo-
macy, and something for the Turkish
official press to boast Of, a semi-victory
OF the padlshah over the Christian
powers Eventually, however, It ls as
likely as not to prove an unmltlgated
blunder, the consequences OF which will
become manifest In the course OF time"
