BERLIN. Feb. THE Deutsche 7dges.citung,

statement of officials OF the Agricultural Do

continues: "Thcse officials are apparently mag

chiefly noteworthy from the fact that it does
not contain the slightest ~aIluslon to tho position
in the far East, which obviously implics that q
settlement has not been reached. The speech
opens with the stercotyped declarations that
Great Britain's relations with the other powers
continue friendly. II continues:
The negotiations between the Sultan Of
Turkey and the King Of Greece heve been con-
cluded by the signature Of n treaty OF peace,
under which the terrible state OF war has boon
brought to an end, but in other respects the re-
lations OF the two powers are practically I'M
changed. The question OF an autonomous gov
eminent for tho island Of Crete has occupied
the attention Of the powers. The difficulty Of
arranging a unanimous agreement on soma
points has unduly protractcd tho deliberations,
but ] hope that these obstacles will before long
DO surmounted.
Intelligence, which is apparently trust
worthy. has been received OF the intention Of
tho khalifa to advance against the Egyptian
army in the Soudan. I, therefore, have givon
directions that n contingent OF British troops be
despatched to Berber to the assistance OF his
Highness, the Khcdiyc.
