Turkey rejected the Balkan terms for an armistice apparently before the plenipotentiaries had time to come together at Hadenikeui. Kiamil Pasha, the Grand Vizier, declared that the allies' overtures were impossible. He ordered tho Commander-in-Chief to continue fighting. Decision of the Porto. A despatch from Constantinople ays : The official announcement of the Porte's decision with regard to the armistice is as follows : "The Bulgarian Premier hae ad- dressed to the Ottoman Government a document containing conditions for an armistice which were com- municated on Thursday to the Council of Ministers and were con- sidered to be unacceptable. "Consequently, and likewise in view of the fact that the Comman- der-in-Chief has been entrusted in principle with the task of negotiat- ing conditions with the plenipoten- tiaries of the belligerent States if these plenipotentiaries aro invested with the necessary powers and has also been directed to communicate Jhe result of such negotiations to us. the Commander-in-Chief has been instructed to continue military operations, with the help of the Al- mighty, until reasonable and mod- erate conditions are proposed to The continued successful defence of Tchatalja lines would undoubted- ly strengthen Turkey's diplomatic position, but defeat, after pro- longed fixhting of her own choosing, would inflame the Bulgarians' de- sire to make a triumphal progress into Constantinople.
