REUTER’S SPECIAL TELEGRAMS FROM EUROPE.

(From the Otago Daily Times.) London, January 10. It is generally expected that the Conference of European representatives will end in failure. The Turkish delegates will yield nothing substantial. Abdul Amid, in replying to a petition from a number of subjects from Adrianople, who sought permission to take up arms against the common ■enemy, said that if war was necessary ho would at once place himself at the head of the Turkish army. The Russian Levant squadron has rendezvoused at Odessa. January 12. At Thursday's sitting of the Conference the Turkish delegates persisted in rejecting the proposals. The delegates from Germany expressed the opinion that further ■concession towards Turkey is impossible. Turkey has hot presented any new schemes, and it is probable that the Conference, on behalf of the European Powers, will make a final communication to the Porte on Monday. AUSTRALIAN CABLE NEWS.
