PROGRAMME DISLIKED.
Objections from Austria and Serbia
-GermanU Silent.

Paris, Oct. 16.-Offcial circles here consider
the publication of the proposed programme of
the powers in advance of its communication to
Turkey and its acceptance by that country and
the other signatories to the Berlin Treaty par
ticularly unfortunate, and likely to emharrass
subsequent negotiations. No matter in what
way the programme is modified, the changes are
to be hailed a victory by one side or the
other. The Greek Minister here has expressed
his satisfaction with the document but the Ser
Wan diplomatic representative does not conceal
his discomfort. The Austro- Hungarian Ar1bas-
sador has announced that Article is unaccept-
able to his government, while the German Am
bassador who has returned to Paris after an
interview with Emperor William, shows the
greatest reticence. The Italian representative
says nothing.
NJ. Iswolsky arrived here this evening from
London. He will continue negotiations on the
conference programme with the French officials
before going to Berlin
Naoum Pacha, Turkish Ambassador to France
said to-day that the programme of the interna
tional conference made public yesterday was not
acceptable to Turkey basis of negotiations.
He added:
We asked the signatores of the Berlin treaty
to take concerted action for the breaches in the
treaty in the matter of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Now. with many professions of friendship and
sympathy, Great Britain, France and Russia re-
ply with a programme recognizing the indie
pendence Of Bulgaria and the annexation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina as accomplished facts,
and dealing otherwise with matters in which
Turkey is not concerned Sympathy is well
enough: Austria Hungary. Bulgaria, Germany
and Italy undoubtedly are sympathetic also, but
what want is redress.
The leaders Of the Young Turkey party in
Paris express in even stronger terms their opin-
ion that Turkey cannot accept this programme.
They speak violently of what they term the
"perfidy of the powers and say that Turkeys
reply will be worthy Of the new government.
NJ Stanciof the diplomatic agent in Paris Of
Bulgaria said to-day that the programme would
satisfy Bulgaria.

statement that there would be no mobilization
of the troops for the present at least, Bull
garia was in a position to know that the Turk

purely of local character. He said also that
the refusal of his government TO pay an indem-

indemnity for independence would be the most
supreme qualification of the country.
