| London, oct 27-Information from
various sources regarding the negotia-
lions of Mr. Iswolsky the Russian min
lister of foreign affairs, with Chancellor
Won Billow. is vague in character but
uniformly peaceful in tone.
Austrias burst of anger over Great
Britain's reported interference in her
direct negotiations with Turkey sub
sided upon the receipt of Foreign Sec
rotary Greys emphatic denial. Eng
lands only insistenee is that the Eu-
ropean conference shall follow these
negotiations whatever their result.
The st. Petersburg version of the re-
suit of Mr. Iswolsky's mission is most
optimistic 1t is there asserted the
danger of a European war, which was
extremely grave during the last week
is practically over and that peace is
assured. The interference is that a
conference has been agreed upon
There is no official assurance to this
effect 1t would mean. if true. that
Austria has radically changed the at
titude which she has adopted from the
outset.
German Attitude Stated
The following official statement of
the situation was, issued at Berlin last
night: "The discussions which the i'm
perial chancellor and Foreign Secre-
l. NJ
lswblsky had reference to the con-
tingencv of an official proposal for
on the questions arising out
of the recent events in the Balkan pen
insula.
THE German government has no OBJ
lection to raise against such Il con-
ference. The German and Russian
governments are as one in recognizing
that the conference can. however, only
serve a useful purpose If full agree
ment as to the scope and contents OF
the program be submitted to the con-
ference as previously reached between
all the powers signatory of the Berlin
treaty.
THE German government holds to
the view that it cannot assent to any
to which Austria Hungary
raises objections. These points will

agreement was found to exist regard
ing the other points of the draft of the
scheme elaborated as the result of Nj.
TsWolskys previous negotiations. par I
ticularly insofar as the proposed ar
in the interest of Turkey
were concerned.
Both governments will persevere in
their endeavor to reach peaceful ana |
inst solution of the present difficult |
ties
Turkey Faces New Revolt.
The chief cause of anxiety at present |
is the internal condition of Turkey. The
great strain put upon the new regime
is testing the resources of the young
Turks to the utmost A. considerable |
portion of the great military prepara-
tons in ConStantinople is aimed at the |
protection of the government against
uprising on the part of a
portion of the army. especially the
troops stationed at Yildiz Kiosk.
An attempt is to be made this week
TO substitute more loyal soldiers, and
great apprehension is felt lest SAN
culinary encounter take place.
The foreign office has issued a
statement fatty contradicting the
statement which appeared in the Aus
.rian press to the effect that the inter-
'uption of direct negotiations between
Austria and Turkey was due to the
advice and influence of Great Britain.
The statement says, on the contrary.
he view of the British government has
been that a direct arrangement would
smooth the way to- a general settle
nent, but that it is for Turkey to de-
tide whether the proposals made We're
such as she could accept. as she is the
oest Judge of her own interests, and
With this view the Turkish government
vas made acquainted as soon as the
British government was informed of
he fact that Austria had declined to
accept a conference unless she first ar
lived at a direct understanding with
Turkey on the subject of Bosnia and
