RYTfertlA LICTATEirrEnMS TO THE POItTE. London, Oct. 21:—A Paris corres pondent intimates that probably Turkey is throwing overboard tho protection of the Powers, and nego tiating directly with Russia. The Turks Ithinlc they can save Bulgaria by granting tho liborty of the Bosphorus to Russia. It is true, Turkey is bound by tho treaty of 185(1; which the freedom of the Bos phorus is contrary to. But the pow lessness of Europe is driving Turkoy into negotiations with her bitterest enemy, and the Porte may break the treaty in despair. The nmn-of-war Shah, 26 guns, the swiftest vessel in 'the English navy, has been ordered to Obedaka. A dispatch to Reuter’s Telegraph Company, from Paris, says it is said England has replied to Russia that as she has already supported a six months’ armistice she Cannot now recommend one of six weeks, but she will not oppose It. No other power appearing willing to take the initia tive, tho question rest between Tur key and Russia. A solution can thus only be looked for. At Constantinople diplomatic cir cles have still hope of a pacific settle ment. Berlin, Oct. 21.— The National Zei tung states Germany has defined her position upon the armistice question as [follows: Hho is indifferent, Whether an armistice of -six weeks or six months is granted, * therefore her interposition with tho object of bringing about an understanding be tween tho Powers on this particular question can avail little; biit on the other hand, Germany never’ fails to recognize that object to be arrived at, is the restoration an understanding between the Powers with a view of procuring a durable a peace. London, oet. 21.—A Reuter dispatch from Ragussa says that Medun has capitulated to Montenegrins who hold the Turkish garrison of 400 men as prisoners of war. Montegrins have also taken guns .and ammuni tion of the Turks. A Reuter dispatch from Constanti nople uy - the Ambassadors of the Powers met yesterday at tho resi dence of General Ignatiefl’, Russian Ambassador. It is’ believed they agreed upon a common action for procuring art understanding witli the Porte-regardihg an armistioe and conditions for peace. A special bulletin to the Pall Mall G-asseMe says a report tis current here that the Powers have again collec tively urged the Porte’s unconditiotn al acceptance of the English pro posals. 10J ’i- . 1 MSI London, Oct. 21io-A dispatch to Reuter’s from Vienna says Russia has presented to the Porto an ultimatum embracing in substance the follow ing points: < .it 1 ’ ■ Fir4t-L-A six weeks armistice, com ditionally. vi Seoond—An administrative auton omy for Bulgaria,, Bosnia and Herze govina. nil ’ . ; I Third—The execution of reforms under the supervision of commission ers named by the Great Powers, and to be protected by an armed foreign force. <. ■ Later dispatches. i • j London, Oct. 21.—T0-day’s disateh es necessitate a serioiis modification of previous hews in' regard to the Eastern question, by confession of the Times’ Vienna correspondent, he was mistaken about the Powers which hail declared their acceptance of six months’ armistice. Neither Austria,France,nor Italy had notified tho Porte of their admission to that proposal, though none had objected to it. England alone, therefore, took formal action in its favor. The effect’ of this is that nil the Powors except England remain in a position to acoedo to Russia’s de mand. On tho other hand, it seems certain that Russia has not the sup port of either Germany or Austria in the contemplated movements against Bulgarin. An announcement that tho Czaro witcli will visit tho courts at Vienna, Berlin and India, seems to indicate that Russia is hesitating to act sepa rately. i. Anyhow tho mission of Delathoff, the Czar’s Adjutant, to Hie Emperor of Austria, fared no better than that of General Summarakoff, ttnd the weight of evidence seems to show that other powers have, like Eng land, taken up expectant attitude in tho face of Russia’s warlike prepa rations; for we havo also a contra diction of Russia’s Italian alliance from several quarters, including an inspired lieuter dispatch from Rome, which says, contrary to the rumor, that Italy, up to the present, main tains an attitude pf rpserve, Ihinco Bismarok is still at Varzio. The Emperor of Austria and Count Andrassy, are at Pesth, and the Rus sian Count at Livadra. At Belgrade it is declared that the Czar’s return to St. Petersburg wjll.be a signal for tho entry jof a Russian army into Bu’gVria. London, Oct. 2lY—The' Pall Mall Gazette, in a leading article, says: “Wo have no faith in the negotiations nor in the reported understandings botweon tho Powers, and do not ba liove any of |thom havp abatod sheir pretensions, laid asido their jealous ies or modlllod thoir policy.” The article caueliulos as follows: “The least sanguina view is. at presont the safest. Wo do wisoly in bo lieving thcro is not yet any such con cert or understanding between the Powers as may ensure Europe against tho worst consequences of a war bo twoen Turkoy and Russia.” NITTINU HUM,. r<inlitn: In mill Sulnir loi* l'niicv. • —■■‘T *T Washington, Oct. 21.—The follow ing telegram was received at the lu dian Bureau this morning: Fort Beck, Montana, Opt. 13, (via Bismarck, D.
