LONDON, October 22.

The Turko-Greek Frontier.

The “ Times,” in a leading article today referring to the Turko-Greek frontier questions, says that England will not be prepared to assist Greece alone to obtain the required extension of territory, should tho other Powers decline to enforce Turkey to agree to the line of demarcation fixed by the Berlin Conference. CONSTANTINOPLE, October 21, The Cession of Dulcigno.

There are hopes that a satisfactory settlement may he arrived at by the delegates of tho Powers and Turkey, now deliberating at Cettinge, regarding tho cession of Dulcigno. The Porte’s delo-

gate has proposed that Dalcigno should be evacuated by the Turkish troops now in occupation three hours before the time fixed for the Montenegrins to enter the town. It has not transpired whether the delegates of the Powers have accepted this proposal. The Porte has, moreover, withdrawn its demand that the status quo should be maintained as regards territory to the east of Scutari, and the doubts which existed as to the sincerity of the Ottoman Government are thus removed.

CONSTANTINOPLE, October 22, Settling a Political Difficulty-

Information has been received that four chiefs of the Albanian League, who have taken a prominent part in the agitation against the cession of Dulcigno, have died at Scutari. It is believed that they have been poisoned. A Further ComplicationThe Montenegrin authorities have informed the delegates of the Powers at Cittinge that they cannot consent to the Porte’s proposal that the Montenegrin troops should enter Dulcigno three hours after it has been evacuated by the Turks, but that they must insist on the formal transfer of the town. The Porte has been informed of the Montenegrin demand, and is now further considering what steps to take in making the cession. MADRID, October 22. Earthquake-

A heavy shock of earthquake was experienced throughout Spain and Portugal to-day, but no damage to property was caused.

The Greek Question.

The Greek Parliament was opened today by the King in person. His Majesty, in his speech on the occasion, said that the execution of the decisions of the Great Powers for the rectification of the frontier imposed action on the part of Greece, and rendered it necessary that her armaments should be increased. With this object Parliament would be asked to sanction the necessary loans being raised. His Majesty added that the regiments forming the additions now being made to the army would not be disbanded until the object for which they were being mobilised had been attained.
