TURKEY KILLING TIME.
Threat of Armed Intervention Need

Threat of Armed Intervention Need
ed to Hurry Her.
London, July 6.-In the House of Lords
to-day the Marquis Of Salisbury replying
to Lord Connemara, said the delay in the
settlement of the peace terms between
Turkey and Greece was entirely the fault
of the former power. There was no delay
so far as the concerted powers were con-
cerned, but that Turkey had carried delib-
Grafton and circumspection to such an ex-
cess that the delay was not without dan
ger, though the danger was not imme-
diate. There were apparently at present
no nearer to a solution of the question
than at the beginning. Having alluded to
the situation in 1878, pointing out that then
a Russian army was at the gates of Con-
stantinople, the Marquis OF Salisbury re-
marked that as proportioned to the cir
cumstances the year 1897 became anala-
gous with the year 1878, so his hopes of
satisfactory result increased. The Marquis
of Salisbury further said: IF Prince Bis
marck were presiding at the conference as
he did in 1873, the result would be differ
ent. A powerful Russian army was then
within a stones throw of Constantinople.
and any suggestion from Prince Bismarck
that a failure OF the conference would re-
suit in the movement of that army un-
doubtedly produced that effect upon Turk
isk deliberations which is desired now"
Constantinople, July 5.-(Delayed In
misslon).-Contrary to expectations,
the decision of the council of ministers
yesterday was not favorable to the de-
mands of the ambassadors relative to the
Greco-Turkish frontier negotiations. The
situation therefore, is regarded as being
very strained, the Turkish reply virtually
implying a rupture of the negotiations, and
that the powers must make a concession
or adopt measures to enforce their decis-
has declared to the sultan that he will
never sign the agreement based on the
strategic lines proposed by the ambassa-
dors. At the same time, II is thought in
some quarters that the attitude of the
Turkish government is designed to allow
the sultan TO yield later by sacrificing
some of his ministers, and rumors of i'm
pending cabinet changes are already cur
rent.
London, July z, 5 a. m.-All the morning
papers comment editorially upon the new
danger in the Graeco-T Turkish situation.
The statement Of the Marquis Of Salisbury
in the House of Lords yesterday (Tuesday)
afternoon is regarded as extremely grave,
and as a clear intmation of the readiness
of Great Britain to join In active coercion
of the sultan.
