Ike Turk ' ish delegates to-day fared the real ut 1 tai k of Um sllles at the fifth moot mi; of th<- peace conference. whi< h lia? as an object the settling of the war r . tw.c n Balkan al ies arc! Tur? key. The victorious allies laid their most i important cards on the table. These I Were in the form of territorial con jditlons. which they had agreed to im? pose on the ottoman Umpire. The de? mands as set forth were: First. The cession by Turkey of all the t- rritory Brest of a line starting from a point cast of Rodest?, on the Sea of Marmora, to a point la the Bay of Mulatra. on the Mack Sea, und excluding the peninsula of tjallipuli. I Albania's status to be deci led by the powers. Second. The cession' of the Aegean I-lands occupied by llie Greek forces in the present war, and by th.; Italians ill the recent WS r. Third. The cession to Greece of all i Turkish lights in the island ot Crete. Proposals \ot Repealed. The allies old not reveal to-day the financial proposals which they will m:ike to Turkey, reserving tSesS for a future meeting. Before the allies presented their SBs< IS> sllnns to-day the Turks an? nounced that their government was prepared to proceed with t'ie negotia? tions, leaving the question of revn-tua. j ing Adrlanople for discussion between i Turkey and Bulgaria. They abandoned i their previous request to provision Scutari and Janina. : The formal conference lasted only I a quarter of an hour. The Turks i listened to the proclamation of the fate of their European empire without formal comment and aske>d tor an ad? journment until Saturday to consider the allies' demands. In the informal conversation with the delegates, whien j consumed an hour, the Turks asserted I It would be Impossible for them to j accept such terms, but that statement j is inevitable in meetings of this char? acter and was expected to-day. The. territorial profits of the wer. which the allies will divide arc the same as those published In these dis I patches Deoeasaer it. w'th the excep tion of the ai'iu'igeastat of the pawers made for Albania The allies will recor-nite autor.omj of Albania under th. suzerainty or the Porte, fcdjl not its sovereignty. Albania will become what Ciete was. and vhat Egypt Is In Its rc'at'on to Turkey. The Sultan will be the nomin.tl ruler, but without poli.ical. administrative or military power. He will have the right to raise his flag in Albariii and appoint a resi-lerit governor, but only j for the purpose of ratifying the de? cisions of the inejij government. All tiie, delegations attended to-day's BeSBBBSV. Every one appreciated the fact that the meeting was to mark the passage of the deliberations from the preliminary stage to that of real nego? tiations, and that it was destined to revise the map of Eastern Europe. Feeling I? I ? tense. The atmosphere of the stately council dbSSBBSr was charged with inten.-e feeling through the proceedings. M Novakovtteh. head of the Servian ; .'elegatlon. took the c hair. On his right whs M. Xikolteh. Speaker of the Ser? vian Parliament, and on rhe left M Vosnlfeh. the Servian minister to France. The president of the confer ence asked Rechad Pasl.a. head of the Turkish delegation, to notify the con? ference as to the instructions he had raesteed from Constantinople. Reehad replied that the imperial Ottoman gov? ernment had tn?trticted htm to treat with all the allies. Oreec? included without any conditions.
