LONDON. May 12-In manner char
acteristic Of Turkish diplomacy the Porte
has made an eleventh-hour surrender TO
the British demand concerning the Tabah
boundary. 1t had been believed In many
quarters that the sultan would not yield
until actual force was displayed, but his
decision probably hastened by the
knowledge that none of the powers sup
ported his attitude and the combined fact
that British naval preparations had kept
pact with its diplomatic demands Sir
Nicholas r. O'Connor the British ambas
sador at Constantinople in his earlier dis
patches, had prepared the British govern
ment for Turkeys compliance with its de-
mand and little attention need be paid to
the reports of conditional surrender, that
phrase being probably intended to satisfy
the Turkish people.
No Conditional Surrender.
At the foreign Office tonight the Asso-
ciated Press learned that It was quite un-
likely that Great Britain would accept any
thing in the nature of mixed or interna-
tional commission to examine into the
frontier question, and the foreign ONCE de-
clined to believe that Ambassador O'Con-
nor had accepted any conditional sur
rander."
1t Is understood the British feet will be
kept at Phalerum bay. pending a final
settlement OF the question and the delim-
tation of the frontier. Vice Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford, commanding the fleet,
with his officers, was able tonight to at
tend a banquet at the British legation in
! Athens, at which King George and the
ropal family, the Greek premier and the
American and French ministers were
1 guests.
