COnstnntln0pIe Looks For the Col
lapse of the Negotiations.
London, June 3.LThe Turks have prom
ised to sign the extension of the armistice
at dawn to-day and it is expected that
peace negotiations will begin promptly at
Constantinople.
King George, 1t is understood, has yield
ed several points, with view of hasten
ing the negotiation and of bringing about
the Turkish evacuation of Thessaly. In
this matter. it is said the Russian gov
eminent has promised to support Greece.
The Turkish military commission contin-
ues to hold long sittings at the Yildiz
kiosk, and it is very evident that the
general impression in Constantinople is
that the peace negotiations will collapse
and that he war will be renewed.
The plan of sending Crown Prince Con-
stantine to London has been abandoned,
as the trip might be interpreted either
as desertion of his post in time of dan
ger or as a removal from the chief COM
mand and consequently a disgrace. The
likelihood is tnat Prince Nicholas will
go in his stead Both King George and
the crown prince have offered to foregO
a portion of the civil list, in view of the
Strengthened finances of the country.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Ber-
lin says that the Turkish government has
opened negotiations with an English firm
for overhauling the entire Turkish fleet.
All the ironclads will be reconstructed
and six new men-of-war built
