London, Aug 17.-There is reason to
believe that the powers, certainly Great
Britain, will raise no objection to the
demands of Russia upon Turkey, or to
the stay of her squadron In Turkish wa
tiers, until her demands shall have been
fully compiled with. Count Lansdorff's
representations to Bulgaria are due to
the wish Of the Russian government to
localize the trouble, as desired by Great
Britain and Austria.

at the admiralty Saturday that no In
structions had been sent to the Mediter-
ranean fleet to proceed to the eastern
Mediterranean. Two British guardships

encouragement to the revolutionary
elements in Macedonia, as Count Lams-
dorff's note, published Saturday, shows
that Russia is keeping the question OF
satisfaction for the murder Of the
consul at Monastir distinct from the
general Macedonian question.
Impression At Paris.
Paris. Aug. 1.-THE news that .
, Russian naval division has been or
dered to Turkish waters coming on the
Feast Of the Assumption, when the

fairs completely suspended. has not

ciated. Although Foreign Minister
