[Reuteb's Telegrams per Press Agency.] St. Petersburg, March 23. At St. Petersburg it is semi-officially stated that owing to England persisting in her demands in regard to the peace conditions the chances of a meeting of an European Congress have decreased. London, March 24. England proposes that a diplomatic communication be treated as equivalent to a presentation, bnt Russia refuses to believe that this communication will be fulfilled in view of the inadmissible pretensions of England. Relations between England and Russia are in a critical condition. It is reported tbat Russia demands that the British ironclad squadron should leave the Sea of Marmora and the Dardanelles. The Russian press is greatly irritated at Great Britain arming. England continues arming. Russia insists upon the exclusion from the Congress of the questions of Bessarabia and the cession of Armenia as essential modifications in the treaty conditions demanded by England and Austria.
