this evening
The armistice which has been in oper-
alton since December 3. was signed on
that day by Bulgaria. Servia and Monte
negro on the one side and Turkey on the
other. Greece was never a party 10 the
cessation of hostilities. She has contin-
ued lighting both on land and sea.
The Montenegrins also have come into
conflict with the garrison OF Scutari on
several occasions, Notwithstanding the
truce.
The Turkish government displays a
spirit of compromise in its reply to the
note handed to it by the representatives
Of the European powers January IL.
The response was presented today by
Mahmoud Shefket Pasha. the grand
vizier, to Margrave Johann Won Palla-
vicini. dean Of the diplomatic corps in the
Turkish capital.
The porte stipulates for the retention by
Turkey of those quarters Of the fortress
Of Adrianople in which the holy shrines
are situated. 1t proposes to leave in the
hands of the powers the disposal of the
land on the right bank of the Marta
river, which runs through Adrianople. At
the same time the Ottoman government
consents to the dismantling Of the forth
fications Of that city.
Would Still Retain Islands.
In reference to the Turkish islands in
the Aegean sea the document insi;ts on
the maintenance of Turkish sovereignty
islands to the Turkish mainland. but 1t
intimates the readiness OF the Ottoman
government to leave the settlement of the
insular regime to the powers.
The reply takes note of the promises
made by the European powers in their re-
cent joint communication respecting the
giving Of aid in the future development OF
the territory of the Turkish empire. The
religious and historical grounds which
compel the porte to stand out for the re-
tention at all events OF that portion of
Adrianople containing the sacred shrines
are recapitulated at the end of the reply.
which is a document of four pages. writ
ten in French.
Reply Not Acceptable.
LONDON. January 30.-"Emptatically
the Turkish reply to the note OF the
European powers Is not acceptable" was
the comment made by DR.. Daneff, leader
of the Bulgarian peace delegation. when
he was shown the terms OF the Ottoman
response. He continued
81 oil oil
state that the Turkish reply is not Of a
character to form the basis of fresh ne
gotiations. We have said that the fortress
Of Adrianople and the Turkish islands in
the Aegean sea must be coded and with
out this the negotiations will not be re-
sumed.
Moreover this cession must be made
before hostilities are resumed. as the
first shot will change our conditions"
May Be Fighting at Tchatalja.
A Constantinople dispatch by way of
Constanza to the Post says it is evident
that something is happening at Tchatalja,
as wounded men are constantly arriving
from there.
Unconfirmed reports say that 5000 Cir
cassian troops have mutinied. and riot
ing is also reported among the troops at
the Dardanelles.
A dispatch to the Chronicle from Con-
stantinople giving similar reports says
that the advance of the army is impos-
sible, as half of the 10000 transport ami
male are either dead or Ill from lack of
proper food. The roads are in depforable
condition because of the heavy rains.
May Again Attack Adrianople.
The plan of the allied governments so
far as the plenipotentiaries are informed
is to concentrate their forces on Adrian
ople Immediately after the expiration of
the prescribed four days. II the surrender
of that fortress does not occur in the
meantime They believe that a few days
bombardment by the big siege batteries
which now surround Adrianople will
bring about its capitulation.
The Balkan representatives declare that
all reports that Roumania would aid Bull
garia against Turkey are unfounded. and
they add that II Roumania should take
advantage of the opportunity to gain her
territorial claims by force, while tine Bull
garian army is engaged with Turkey,
bulgaria would let her occupy the terri
tory she demands. But as soon as the
army disposes of the Turks
the Bulgars would turn their attention
to the Roumanians and attempt to make
them pay dearly for this racial disloy-
atty, which the Bulgarians consider would
be treason
The allies expect that a preliminary
treaty of peace will be signed in Adrian
ople by the victorious Bulgarian and
Servian generals. and this will be en-
bodied in the treaty. which will be con-
,luded in London, for which each delega-
