The only bright prospect in the stu
alton is that the Balkan states seem in.
clined to give the great powers a linn
tied time in which to try to induce
Turkey to introduce the reforms de-
mandcd in Macedonia.
1t is reported today that they intend
to send collective note TO Turkey e1-
planning the reasons for their action in
mobilizing their armies, AS they nee
essarily must await a reply to this note
the ambassadors Of the great powers IN
Constantinople will be able further to
impress the porte with the advisability
of granting their demands.
Many Demands on Turkey.
The porte must in the meantime,
however, deal with two notes, both of
which are practically ultimatums- One
of these is from Servia and demands
the release of Servian ammunition
which has been detained in transit
through Turkey. while the other is
from Greece and protests against the
detention of Greek shipping which
Turkey has decided to hold up and
utilize for the transport of her troops.
The time for the reply to the Servian
note does not expire uHIll IOlllShC, S'
that even in this campaign the en-
bassadors of the great powers have a
full day before them in which to press
upon the porte the advice Of their re-
spective foreign offices.
For the present, however, .prepara-
tions are proceeding on all sides for
war. According TO private telegram
received in London this morning, the
mobilization of the Turkish army IN
Rumelia, which included all the troops
in Macedonia, besides those in Anatolio
OF Asia Minor, has already begun, 80
that the Balkan kingdoms have very
little start on her. Turkey is looking
also to Roumania to throw in her lot
with the Ottoman troops, in which
case Bulgaria would find herself sand
wiched between two formidable foes
and might he crushed
May Side With Turkey.
It is also conceivable that the AL
banians, forgetting their grievances
against the Ottoman empire, might as
sist the troops against which they
have been fighting.
The stock exchange here again
marked down all speculative stocks at
the opening today from fear of further
unfavorable news, but the absence of
an actual outbreak OF bostilitles soon
created a better feeling. Prices there
