banIH, minus a part ccdcd to Monte negro, and also the provinces, arc placed under the suzerainty of inc BsiksBs. The Anal condition Is the admission of Turkey 10 the Balkan league.
 London, December 1.-The signature of the protocol of the armistice be- tween the Balkan allies and Turkey which was expected today, has been postponed until Tuesday. as the Greek delegate has not yet received the nec- essary authority from his government. It is rumored that in addition to the Bulgarian troops just landed at Dedea- ghatch, another large force of Greek troops from Saloniki is at sea and it is Suggested that Greece may delay sing ing the armistice in order enable these troops to arrive at their destina- tion, which is supposed to be the gulf of saros in Gallipoli.
 1t is understood that the armistfce will extend fortnight if necessary and cover the whole field of operations. The difficulty with respect to the be- leagnered garisons of Adrlanople and Scutari is being surmounted by permit ting them to receive ratons during the armistice.
 The plcnipotentiaries appear to haze aimed so far solely in arranging the armistice, but a peace conference is expected to commence immediately, probably at Sofia and as Bulgaria has already shown greater forbearance than had been loked for in making her demand for the esurrender of Adriano- pIe. while Turkey cannot hope to ob- tain better conditions by continuing the struggle, a strong feeling is enter tained that the last shot in the war will have been fired when the armistice is signed.
 the peace negotiations will be diff cult and protracted. The question of holding European ambassadorial con- ference is still undecided, but the inter national situation is much more peace ful. The Servian government denies the reported preparations for conflict with Austria. while tho Austrian press - is much less belicose.

A Bulgarian train soon appeared, however, and 1d sat down to lunch. General Savoff, the Bulgarian chief and Maxim Pasha talked Turkish. while the others employed the French lan- gGage. It seemed to be d cordial gath ering.
