At POWERS SUGGESTION.
International Interference Is to He
Avoided IL Possible.

London, Aug 27-In taking more
energetic measures for the suppression
of the revolution, Turkey is acting in
accordance with the advice of the pow
ers. The forthcoming conference of
King Edward with Emperor Francis
Joseph and King George of Greece, at
Vienna, and the visits of the car and
Emperor William to Vienna will ena-
BILE the monarchs to discuss Balkan
affairs thoroughly, and before the con-
clusion of the conferences Turkey pro-
poses, so far as possible, to restore or
der, SO that international action will
be unnecessary.
An official of the Turkish embassy
here said TO a press representative.
The calling out of additional troops
by Turkey is due solely to the decision
to suppress the instruction at once. 1t
is not in anticipation of war with Bull
garia.
