POWERS CONVERSE.
European Countries Keeping In Close
Touch With Each Other.

London, Dec. 1.-THE ambassadors
of the great European Powers. this
afternoon, began their CONSIDERATIONS
with the object of keeping the nations
in close touch with each other in re-
gard to questions arising out of the
war in the Balkans. The diplomats
met in the cabinet room of the Brit
ish foreign office.
The discussions, it is understood are
to be purely informal and non-com-
INITIAL but they will serve to eIuci-
date the position of the Powers and
as result it will be possible to as
certain to what extent they are in
agreement son such questions as the
autonomy of Albania, the claims of
Servia, the position of Saluniki and
the Dardanelles and the re-ehartine
of the map of the Near East.
The conversations" it is expected,
will clear the ground for a possible
formal conference of the Powers.

AMERICA AS MEDIATOR.
Has No Desire to Evade Obligations
Feels That Third Party Not Needed.

Washington, Dec. 17-Without any
disposition to eVade the obligations
imposed by treaty and by the dictates
OF humanity to do everything possible.
to prevent a renewal of the bloody
war in the Balkans officials of the
state department are reported to be
of one mind in holding, that the COM
pick and difficult issues between the
contending states should be adjusted
entirely by the good Offices of the
neutral European states, which are
thoroughly acquainted with the vari-
Gus phases of the problem.
So far there has been no intimation
from any official source that America
will be called on to play the part of
mediator and it is pointed out that
the necessity for such mediation prac-
tcally has disappeared. the present
gathering of plenipotentiaries, all
charged with instructions to bring
about peace, itself being a mediating
body
| 1t is felt here that at this stage
between progress toward a solution of
| the problem of the restoration of
peace can be made by direct dealing
between the principals, free from the
| interference of third parties, no mat
ter how benevolently inclined. In the
event that the plenipotentiaries in
London should reach a deadlock and
a return to hostilities be seriously
threatened, of course it would be n
matter of duty for the signatories 10
| The Hague Convention to consider
Immediately what steps properly
could be taken to prevent a resump-
ton of the war. But that the inter-
Vention of America in this manner
Will not be required is believed to be
assured by the gathering in London
simultaneously with the meeting of
the peace negotiators. of the ambas-
sadors of the great European Powers.

Wife of American Ambassador to

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE piteous

around wells endeavoring to obtain
water is described by Mrs Rockhill,
wife of the American ambassador to
Constantinople, in letter to Miss

Red Cross. Mrs. Rockbil writes that
in and about one building in San
Stephano were lying 500 men in com

Balkan war. She says it is impossible
to estimate the number Of the sick or
dead, but that many corpses lie
around unburied. She reports that
American efforts in San Stephano have
resulted in care being taken of the
dying. Through the cooperation of
several members of the British Red
Cross hospital unit, the American COM

In an instant all order was at an end

still unchecked
While the tumult was at its height
the Colorado delegation produced a
high white banner inscribed; "No

Prominent in the cheering was the
California delegation while Governor
johnson, on the platform, led vigor-

roar. Meantime Colonel Roosevelt,
the famous grin in evidence, stood
looking quietly on now and then chat
ting with Senator Beverldge and such
others of the new party leaders as
were near.
