London, March 7.
The Porte objects to demands of Montenegro for cession of territory and seaport. Russia, still expectant pending answer to circular, has issued a ukase ordering the organisation of nine army corps. The Porte maintains the same confident attitude it assumed wheu the Conference was sitting, and is prepared to accept war in preference to prolonged suspense. On the other hand Russia rejects the suggestion of a year’s grace. Russia withdraws from the treaty of 1856 unless the other Powers co-operate to obtain the acceptance by the Porte of the original programme of the Conference.
In the Turkish budget the estimate of expenditure for the present year on the army is set down at fourteen and a half millions ; for the navy, ten and three quarter millions. Hayes has nominated W. Maxwell Evarts Secretary of State, and Sherman Secretary of the Treasury. Sydney, Saturday.
