After multitudes of contradictory
reports it is perhaps safe to say that
a pact of peace has been agreed on be-
tween Turkey and the Balkan allies.
As it now appears, Albania will BE- a
republic with Kamal Bey as provision
al president. The acute differences
between Servia and Austria it is said
will be settled by making Durazza
free port on the Adriatic, which will
satisfy Servia, and will not be objec-;
tionable to Austria. The foreign Sec,
retary of Russia reiterates that the
Cars intentions are peaceful. The
affront to Consul Prochaska Of Austria
will be satisfied by apologies, King
Nicholas Of Montenegro will get lit
tie slice OF Turkey and BE- content, and
Roumelia, Bulgaria and Servia will be
independent of the Sultan's rule, and
Greece will get Crete back, and per-
haps few other islands, and the war
that lasted less than two months and
cost 100000 lives will be over except
in SO far as cholera and smallpox will
get in their work of death and de-
struction.
