Abandons Hope Of Intervention.
London, Nov. Ellis throne totter-
ing, the sultan tonight abandoned all
hope of intervention by the powers to
save Turkey from the Balkan allies
wrath and appealed directly to the al
lies themselves for terms Of peace.
Turkeys admission of defeat was re-
garded here as only rendering more I'm
minent the danger of a general Euro
pean war which, if it were to come,
might alter practically every map
throughout the entire world.
The sultan's surrender, it was point
ed out, promises scramble for his
European territories, which threatens a
nations on earth.
News that the Ottoman ruler had
sued for peace came from several in
dependent sources, all reliable, and was
accepted unquestionably here as abso-
lutely authentic. A desperate battle
had been in progress for many hours
along the last line of Constantinople's
defenses. It was persistently rumored
that the Bulgarian attacking force was
capturing fort after fort and these ru-
mors seemed fully borne out by final
announcement that the sultan had
begged for terms.
Defiant dispatches came out of Con-
stantinople earlier in the day. Nazim
Pasha, the Turkish minister Of war,
and field commander, had announced
that he would fight until the last Turk
was dead before he would surrender,
| it was said. Kiamil Pasha, the aged
grand vizier. was quoted as declaring
that the sultan would await death In
his palace, and he. Kiamil, in his office,
if necessary but that Constantinople
they would never abandon nor would
they ever admit defeat.
| A fresh army was being concentrated
between the Tchatalja forts and Con-
stantinople, It was asserted. An official
bulletin was posted claiming an over
whelming Turkish defeat Of the Bull
garians at Marash. near Adrianople.
Then came the news that the Otto
man monarch has sued for peace.
Reports Of Massacre.
Reports were in circulation all day
that massacre was in progress In
Constantinople. mob Of Mohamme-
dan soldiers, driven back by the Bull
Rarians from the Tchatalja line 1t
was declared, was footing and muir
dering all Christians in the Galata
quarter of the city. Pera, the foreign
residence section, was said to be
threatened. 1t was rumored that the
sultan had been warned he would be
slain il he surrendered, or attempted
flight to Asia, as 1t was understood
he planned.
| Whether the Ottoman ruler was
} frightened by the many dangers which
surrounded him into an attempt to
!: ESCAPE them by throwing himself In
the Balkan allies hands was not
known. The Bulgarians' reply to the
} Turkish overtures was waited with the
tensest anxiety
Meanwhile diplomats were working
desperately tonight to avert a general
clash, but 1t was admitted that there
has not been so threatening situa-
: ton in Europe in the present genera
ltion as the one which the chancellories
confront at the present moment.
