'' is wolsky and Sir Edward Orey. Great Britain Is still of the opinion that it would be better for Turkey If the matter were settled , without a meeting Of the powers, and she has hot yet agreed to a .conrerencs even In principle. The 'government' how ever,, is open to conviction but only on the ground that the discussion bo limited to what .the foreign office terms the "pr?sent breaches of tho Berlin treaty." . The Austro-Hungarlan suggestlorr, Vlth has been officially communi cated to Great Britain, that ths con ference should be confined to the Bulgarian - declaration of ' Independ ence Is held, by the foreign office to be - wholly untenable.-. The . . foreign, office contends that If the powers de cide in favor of a conference, they cannot ignore Austria-Hungary's breach of the treaty. Great Britain Is not one of the powers favored with the-- Austro-Hungarlan proposal that the Dew status of Bulgaria should be recognised with which Baron von Aehrenthal has declared he approach ed some of the. powers. , Should this be received the reply would.be the same as thst sent to Bulgaria. SCOPE SHOULD BE LIMITED. The foreign office has been Informed by Sir Francis Bertie, the British am bassador at Paris, as to -what It. is wolsky will suggest, : but this natur. ally hss not been disclosed.'. Sir. Ed ward's reply to any proposal that tho conference should deal with matters outside the actions of -Austrla-Hun-gary and Bulgaria will be that in tho Interests of Turkey the scope of the conference should be strictly limited. Up to the present time no official Intimation has been . received that Turkey Is coming sround to the Brlt- Lsh view that the question should be settled without a conference. . The general opinion in London . la that M. Iswolsky -will propose rais ing the question Of the Dardanelles ar the conference. . In this regard a diplomat cioseiy in touch -with the subject pointed out to-day that Great Britain could not desire to alter a settlement that had worked so well; i nm same ume sne was not 'likely to refuse to consider such a proposal If the change wers an eouitable one. and the Black sea. thrown open to all nanons. It is believed that the Dfesenee of a British fleet in the Aegean sea will strengthen the Turkish government nd influence the Turkish neonla sgainst agitating for offensive meas ures. v - ...
