! a development IN the dlpIOmauC sltua-
for European conference, but nothing
has been decided on as TO when the
conference will meet or what its pro-
gramme will be.
The fact that Italy Is now free 10 en-
ter the conference will greatly
strengthen the European concert and Is
! calculated TO make the Balkan States
more amrnable to European pressure.
The future status Of Crete under the
new conditions, which 1t is reported
will be virtual annexation by Greece
is now engaging the attention OF the
powers.
The rumor that Bulgaria has actual
" declared war mas not been confirmed.
The Mon,enegrins. after hard hghtns'
have captured Berana, but 1t Is report
cd that there will be pause IN the
onarstions around Tushi. Undoubtedly
this IL due TO the Montenegrins reaHz-
ing that they have paid too dearly LOT
their successes in heavy losses OF He
Urges Restraint on Soldiers
King Nicholas accordingly has Issued
O nrocIamation urging his soldiers 10
restrain their impetuosity and adapt
| themselves 10 modern conditions OF
warfare. which demand artillery prep

storm fortified positions. The Monte

sonally leading their forces. Prince

Describing the terrible condition u
the hospital at Tushi, Podgoritza cor
respondent says that hundred wound
cd Turks are lying about half naKeo
owaiting treatment The floors are lit
tered with putrid medical dressings
Tho Turkish doctors are apathetic, 90
ing nothing.
It 10 thought probable that the hght-
| ing will cease for few days, the
| southern army having suffered heaV'!y'
! A constant stream Of wounded, adds
| the correspondent, has passed In the
last three days, which proves the
struggle to have been desperate ana
costly. The official figures OF one
thousand killed and wounded probably
IS an underestimate.
The Sofa correspondent OF Inc
Times" says: 80 far from Montenegro
having begun the war as part OF the
allies plan, both the Bulgarian ana
Greek governments addressed remon-
strances 10 King Nicholas against pre-
Icjpitate action. The Montenegrin King
however, was resolved not to let pass
the unique opportunity to begin war
which had been foreseen for many
wears and the conduct Of which he was
reluctant to leave TO posterity.'
The conclusion Of peace between Italy
and Turkey has greatly relieved the
shipping trade owing to the heavy In
surance premiums imposed during the
| activity Of the Italian fleet In Turkish
waters. Lord Rothschild has appealed
| through the press for funds for the
| british Red Cross, which Is preparing
IN send expeditions to the Balkans.

.roons either surrendered or took to
fight.
Nh. Turkish Charge d'Affaires at
Sofia to-day notified the Bulgarian gov

and asked for his passports.
Otherwise Turkey is treating the hote
sent To II by the Balkan nations WIN
contempt although 1t Is reported she
will demand through the powers an
ono,ogv from the allies for the way
they addressed her.
Greece. II is said in some quarters "
beginning TO regard the future "l"l
feeling OF skepticisnl, realizing that 81"
has started a formidable undertaking
without any assurance that she wiz
reap any advantage from It, Her navy
which should be the chief source OF her
strength, is still inferior to the lurh-
Ish feet, which has been released by
