ALLIES DECLARE NEGOTIATIONS OFF, LEAVING ONLY FOUR
 DELEGATES IN LONDON.
FIGHTING MAY BE RESUMED
Europe Still Hopes That New Note May Find tlement-Turkey Accuses Powers of Aiding the
 Balkan States.

London, Jan. 29.-The peace nego- | tiations which reached deadlock over the cession of Adrianople on January G. were finally broken today | by note which the plenipotentiaries of the Balkan allies presented to Rechad Pasha, head of the Turkish delegation.
 Notwithstanding this rupture. there still are optmstics in the diplomat ic world who hope a resumption of the war may yet be averted, either through fresh proposals that Turkey is reported to be including in the note she will deliver to the powers tomor- row or through the fall of Adrianople before activities can be begun again at the Tchatalja lines
 A majority of the Balkan delegates refuse to admit the liklihood of either contingency believing that the life of the young Turk government de- bends upon the resumption of war, even though the allies W~C willing to postpone the conflict. They are of the opinion that the present fail ure of diplomacy is at the worst, only an interlude, however, lor they will leave four representatives in London to undertake the settlement anew
 Rechad Pasha, after receiving the note, said:
 The consequences may be of the gravest nature. The responsibility lies not alone with the allies but with 1 the powers, who encouraged the BaN- kan states and have shown no fair ness toward Turkey. although, before the war they had solemnly proclaim ed the principle of the unchange- ability of the status quo"
 The plan of the allied governments so far as the plenipotentiaries are | concerned is to concentrate their for ces on Adrianople immediately after the expiration of the prescribed four days, if the surrender of that fortress does not occur in the meantime. They believe that a few days bombartment by the big siege batteries which now surround Adrianople, will bring about it's equalization.
 The Balkan representatives declare that all reports that Roumania would aid Bulgaria against Turkey are un-
  mania should take advantage of the opportunity ,ao gain her territorial claims by force, while the Bulgarian army is engaged with Turkey, Bull garia would let her occupy the ter ritory she demands But, as soon as the Bulgarian army disposed of the Turks, the Bulgarnns would turn their attention to the Roumanians and attempt to make them pay dear ly for this racial disloyalty, which the Bulgarians consider would be treason.
 The allies expect that a preliminary treaty of peace will be signed in Adrianople by the victorious Bulgar ian and Servian generals, and this will be embodied in the treaty which will be concluded in Londan, for which each delegation is leaving one representative in London to await the reopei ling of tine conference. They will be. for Bulgaria: Michael Mad joroff, minister at Londan for Greece: Stephanos SKoloukis; for Montenegro: NJ. Popovitch, formerly minister at Constantinople, and for Servia: Dr. M. R. Vesnitch, minister to France.
 Most of the other delegates will leave here before Monday The Greek premier, Eleutherios Venizelos will visit Vienna, Belgrade, Sofia and Salniki oh ks' homeward jour ney, and this is considered tangible proof that the allies are preserving that unity that astonished Europe at the beginning of the war.
 The Balkan delegates Teiterate that the allies are agreed on all ques- tlons. being fully cognizant of the fact that their power lies in main taining and strengthening their com pact Thus it has been arranged in general terms that Salonih shall De under the co-dominion of Bulgaria, Servia and Greece, and that if diff ferences arise between members of the alliance which cannot be arrang- cd amicably, the contending parties must defer to arbitration.
 Dr Daneff head of the Bulgarian delegation and M. Mishu, the Rouman- ian minister to Great Britain, signed protocol today embodying the views of both nations on the Rou- manian claims for territory which would give her silistria. The pro tocol will furnish the basis for the negotiations.
 Roumania bases her demands on the argument that the war has oc- casioned such changes in the poll tical equilibrium that guarantees Tor

 BuIgarians declare that Roumania has increased her demands since re
