TO
TURKEY IS
final
BALKAN ALLIES TELL OTTOMAN JUST
WHAT He Can DO IF He DESIRES
PEACE AND They HAVE POWER
TO BEGIN HOSTILITIES.

London, Jan. 20,-Bulsara( Servia
and Montenegro today presented an
ultimatum to Turkey giving the Otto
man government fourteen days i'll
which to make a favorable reply to
their demands, according to dispatch
es from Constantinople.
Full power to declare the resump-
tion of hostilities against Turkey was
telegraphed today to DR.. S. Daneff,
leader of the Bulgarian delegation
and his colleagues by the Bulgarian
premier J. S. Guechoff who told them
to exercise it whenever in their opln-
ion further peace negotiations be-
came useless.
The representatives of the Balkan
allies will therefore directly notify
General Savoff, the Bulgarian COM
mander-in-chie that the armlstice
has ended as soon as it becomes ap-
parent that there is no hope of the
peace plenipotentiaries reaching
mutually satisfactory arrangement.
Hostilities will commence four days
afterward.
The Bulgarians have now discoy-
cred that they have been completely
misled in regard to the conditions
prevailing in the beleagured Turkish
fortress of Adrianope and have con-
seuuently decided that prompt
change in their policy is necessary.
Two weeks ago they were inform
ed that the fall of the fortress could
be expected hourly but recent coun-
Gil of war held under the presidency
of King Ferdinand came to the con-
clusion that Shukri Pasha, the Turk
ish commander in Adrianople, had
been able to eocnomiZe the supplies
in the fortress to such an extent that
the garrison would be able to resist
nerhaps for several months more.
Shukr Pasha, it appears, deluded
the Bulgarians by means of false re-
ports spread by supposed deserters
who reached the Bulgarian lines
drawn around the city.
| The commanders of the Bulgarian
+, forces now know the truth, and BH'-
garia has determined to force
speedy solution, SO as to put an emu
to the heavy expenditures and permit
the men under arms, who comprise
virtually the whole of the able bodied
male population of Bulgaria, to re-
turn to agricultural work. Otherwise
! it is thought the next harvest Will De
lost. The next meeting of the am
bassadors of the European powers at
the British foreign Office has been
postponed until Wednesday owing to
the absence from town Of two of the
ambassadors
The Seryians have decided to pre-
sent tomorrow to the powers, a mem
orandum which they have drafted, de-
failing their intention in regard To
territorial conquest arising out OF the
war. Servia will ask to be permitted
to occupy permanently the eastern
mart of the district of NovipaZar Dor
dering on the German frontier and
also the Gulllc ICSioh "NA ~ -
the river Drin Lake Ochrida as well
! as the fortress of Monastir which the
/ Servian troops captured from the
Turks after a severe fight.

TWO VESSELS SUNK.
Athens, Greece, Jan. 20.-A Greek
officer, who participated in the naval
battle between Greek and Turkish
fleets off the Dardanelles on Saturday

cidents of the fight, says that during
the pursuit of the Turkish war vessels
by the Greeks, the battleship kheyr

slackened speed and showed a list tt
starboard. He believes that both YES
sells were in sinking condition wher
they reached the straits.
