Turkeys note In reply to the ultimatum of the powers contain a warning that the action of the powers In resorting to a naval demonstration may precipitate an international up rising of Mussulmans against the Christian population of Turkey. This Is considered to be a threat, as it le known that no demonstration of Mus sulmans against Christians can occur unless it has the silent acquiescence of the Turkish authorities. The answer of the porte as a whole Is entirely unsatisfactory, since It does not respond to the demand for the extension of the authorities of the financial agents of the powers for two years and Is evasive upon the question of the general control by the powers of the financial affairs of Macedonia. AH the ministers except the minister of war favored yielding to the ultimatum, but palace Influences led the sultan to overrule the favor able attitude of the porte. These Influences are regarded as the outgrowth of Germany abstaining from taking an active part In the naval demonstrations. The Turkish reply gives a serlout turn to the negotiations.
