The Turkish delegates announced
- that fresh instructions had been

Ill Saturday was taken, by which time
the Instructions should reach London.
News comes from the Ottoman capital
that the gov erumcnt is empowering the
delegates TO proceed with the negotiations
with the Greeks as well as the Balkan
plenipotentiaries This decision tends
towards peace, as there has been sus-
picion that the Turks were maneuTcring
for time so that they might strengthen
their army. The conference is nom eX-
actly In the same position as the Ports

Besides. Turkey would consider it less
launlliating to cede territory on pressure
from, the powers than at tho comma nd
OF the Balkan states, which were de-
pictcd TO the Mussulman world as ncgll-

The Balkan delegates, especially the
Serviaus and MonteneGrlns, express dis
satisfaction with the statement Wedncs-
