Powers to Present Demands.
London.-Bulgaria and Servia are
expected to present ultimatums to
Turkey at once, according to advices
from Contantinople Despite the ru-
mors, they had not definitely broken
off diplomatic relations with the sui
tan, but it is expected momentarily
that they will do SO.
Servia's demand is regarded as i'm
possible Of acceptance by the Turks.
Not only does it insist on autonomy
for old Servia, but on a partial occu-
patton of the district by Servian
troops until autonomy has been es-
tablished. If Turkey refuses, it adds,
war will be declared Sunday.
The Greek note severing diplomatic
relations with Turkey has also been
drawn, but, so far as known, has not
yet been presented. Greece, alone
among the four Balkan allies, shows
much hesitancy about engaging in
hostilities.
Diplomatic representatives here of
the powers said they will not give up
hope until it's three allies join Monte
negro in declarations of war against
Turkey. They think it barely pos
sible that Montenegro was stirred up
to take the initiative to brighten the
powers into redoubling their pressure
upon the sultan to satisfy the alli-
ance's demands.
The sultan almost certainly will
precipitate a Turkish revolution if he
yields and Gar Ferdinand of Bulgaria
and King Peter of Servia, if not King
George of Greece, probably will lose
their thrones and perhaps their lives
unless they bring the Turks to their
knees.
100000 Raised by Turkey.
Constantinople. The sultan has
gone to Top Kapu palace to pray over
the relics of the prophet treasured
