Tewfik Pacha, the Turkish foreign
minister, yesterday visited the Rus
sian ambassador and notified him that
the Turkish government accepted all
the Russian demands and begged that

from Turkish waters.
Constantinople, Aug. 19.-The news
of the impending arrival of the Rus
sian squadron is spreading, notwith-
standing the continued suppression of
all kilograms and annoucemets on the
subject.
The general opinion of the Europeans
here is that the time has arrived for
a vigorous Intervention and the aban-
Comment of all semi-measures, which
are regarded as the cause of the pres
ent rising.
According to the Turkish official re-
ports the strongest positions of the
insurgents are at Krushevo, Merihoro
and Florina. Contrary to previous
reports, it is now stated officially that
Kushevo is still occupied by the in
surgents. The headquarters Of the
revolutionists is in the Peristeri noun
tains, in the vicinity of Monastir.
Women and children are not mo-
Tested by the insurgents who have de-
stroyed only fortified dwellings occu-
pied by rich Turks. 1t is not denied
Greeks found acting as Turkish spies
but the strictest orders have been is
sued not to interfere with women or
children.

sea, occupying the Dardanelles and the
Bosphorus; Austria will act on land
and Italy will exercise surveillance

store to Turkey her full sovereignty.
Report Is Confirmed.
London, Aug. 20.-The Associated
Press learns that important negotia-
tons are in progress between the Pow
ers, which promise to result in the
early adoption of a new plan for the
settlement of the Macedonian trouble.
Foreign Office official said this aft
ernoon: ut is somewhat premature to
say that a definite agreement on the
subject has already been reached, as
stated by the independence Beige of
Brussels, but notes are being exchanged
in this direction"
In other quarters it was intimated
that the scheme was partially on the
lines referred to by the Belgian news
