A NEW SITUATION.

LONDON. Nov. A.--While the Balkan
allies ana the Turks are still striving
to arrange satisfactory terms for am
armistice and Turkey is requesting
the Powers to use their influence with
bulgaria to induce her to modify her
terms. the diplomats of Europe are fac
ing Il mitch more serious and vital
nfollem the problem Of averting u
general war.
From the different capitals comes
the word that the prospects of Il peace
ful settlement OF the controversy be-
tween Austria Hungary and Servia
seem excellent, but at the same time
Russia is rushing the mobilization
Of more than million soldiers, Ger
many has called in the reserves Of five
army corps. Austria has strictly for
hidden ,he publishing of any news con-
cerniGg her preparations for war or
movements of troops and has sent
word to Italy that she expects her to
live up to her treaty This means that
Italy will he compelled to back the de-
manus o. Austria. however much her
sympathies may be with the Balkan
allies.
In the meantime fighting around the
ish and Balkan plenipotentiaries are on
their way TO Hademkeui in the hopes
of arranging an armistice.
The Balkan allies are understood to
have waived their demand for the evac-
uation by the Turks of the lines of
Tchatalja and are willing that the gar
rison at Adrianople should march out
with the honors of war, according to the
Pail Mall Gazette. They insist. howev-
er. on the stfrrender of the fortress of
Agrianople itself.
The Porte on the other hand demands
that Adraneple remain invested pending
the armistic as the French fortress of
Belfort did during the Franeo-German
armistiee in 1871.
The Ottoman government. points out
that it still has half a million soldiers
to draw from while the Bulgarians have
none. The allied Balkan nations retort
that they are now in position TO march
10000 troops, who have heretofore been
engaged elsewhere. 10 swell the besieg
ing force in front of the Turkish lines

should the war continue it is assum-
ed in military circles that an attack
will soon be opened on the forts along

QUESTION OF RELATIONSHIP.
Turkey Asks Italy to Use influence
With Montenegro and Servia for
Cancellation.


Rome, Nov. 24.-The Sultan Of Tur-
key has made an appeal for the good
Offices Of the King OF Italy to bring
about a more conciliatory attitude on
the part of the King of Montenegro
and the King of Servia SimuItane-
onsly, the King of Servla, taking ad-
vantage of Queen Helenas relation
ship to his family, urges her TO do all
in her power to disarm Austrian hos
tilities, SO he may secure the outlet
to the Adriatie, which he SO much
desires.
In his communication to King Victor
Emmanuel, the Sultan recalls the
peace recently concluded between Tur-
key and Italy and the desire of both
countries to live an amity and i'm
prove their reciprocal relations, and
earnestly requests the King to use his
influence with his father-in-law, King
Nicholas OF Montenegro. and also with
the King of Servia, with the object
of inducing them to offer a more con-
ciiatorY attitude toward Turkey.
With respect to Avalona, Italy would
never consent that that important port
should he possessed directly or indi-
reetly by a great Power, much less
that this commanding position should
be made a military base. In the hands
OF any other country than Italy, ii
would so diminish the naval efficiency
of laramie.
