FIGHTING CEASED
BulGarians and Turks Met Yes
terday Is Arrange an
Armistice

Constantinople. Nov. 2o.-Nazim Pasha,
Izzet Pasha, chief of general staff Of the
war. and late commander-in chief in Ye-
men. and Chandan Bey. councillor of state
have been appointed Ottoman plenipot-
entiaries for the negotiations for an armis.
tice with the. Bulgarians representatives.
The questioned peace looms large in the
foreground. The fact that the official
communications with regard to the Bul-
garian reply issued at Constantinople and
Sofia make no mention of preliminary con-
ditions. has given rise to comment, as it
generally was expected that Bulgaria would
insist upon fixing basis before consenting
to begin negotiations.
Indeed. the belief was general that Bull
garia would demand the capitulation Of
Adrianople and other fortified places. and
the foreign minister recently told the am
bassadors that Turkey would refuse to en-
tertain such stipulations.
Apparently Bulgaria has found good rea-
sons for refraining from such An attitude
especially as the entering upon pour parlers
will not compel the suspension of hostili-
ties until the armistice actually has been
signed.
As has been pointed out, the question of
cholera complicates the issue at rchatalja
and today it is rumored the Bnlgarians are
retiring to more sanitary positions back of
Tchatalja.
A violent cannonading. audible this af-
ternoon in the direction OF Derkos. would
indicate that some engagement IS in pro-
gress in that. quarter.
All was quite today in the neighborhood
of Bijuk. Chekmedye and Tchatalja. but
fresh troops are arriving daily by steamer
and train from Asia Minor.
The porte has applied to the embassies
and legations for the withdrawal OF the
naval contingents landed Monday. on the
ground that their presence is not neces-
sary. Ii is added that. should danger
arise. there will be time enough to take
measure Of precauuon.
The ambassator and ministers today
discussed the request Ii is said they de
cIded to leave the matter in abeyance for
the present.
