[By Telegraph.] (Per Tararua at Auckland.) [Herald’s Special.] SURRENDER OF DULCIGNO. THE GREEK QUESTION IN ABEYANCE. lEISH LAND REFORM. NOBLEMEN LANDLOEDS ON THE WING. ALAEMING EAILWAY ACCIDENT. ANOTHEE BURMESE WAE IMPENDING. London, Oct, 11. The French and German Ambassadors had an interview with the Sultan and explained to him the bad effect which his list note to the Powers had. An attempt on the part of the Sultan to make terms with Eussia has failed. Probably England, Eussia, and Italy will issue a joint mandatory note to the Sultan. The other Powers decline to assist the supplication for the physical coercion of Turkey. October 12. Dulcigno has at last surrendered, the Sultan having yielded to the friendly advice of Germany and Austria. Coercion by the Powers in favor of Greece is now regarded impossible, as France has declined to take the initiative in regard to the Greek difficulty. The fleet proceeds to Smyrna. Oct. 11. The land agitation and agrarian outrages in Ireland continue. The feeling of the Roman Catholics against the Land Reform League is spreading. The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin has issued a pastoral, and the Bishop of Cologne has made a speech both of a significant character. Lord Annersley, Lord Templore, and Chester (landlords) refuse to remain in Ireland during the winter. News has already been telegraphed that the special meeting of the Cabinet summoned to consider steps to be taken against Turkey has been postponed in

consequence of the receipt of intelligence from Constantinople that the Sultan has begun to show signs of yielding. This has been confirmed has sent intimation to the Ambassadors that the Sultan has resolved to surrender Dulcigno to the Montenegrins without imposing conditions. It is believed that in consequence of this offer, ulterior measures against Turkey will be further delayed.

Oct. 12. The news that the Porte has offered to comply with the demands of the Great Powers for an unconditional surrender of Dulcigno has created a favorable impression. The “Times” already publishes a leading article on the latest phase of the question, in which it expresses an opinion that a respite should be granted to Turkey to enable the Sultan to give effect to the engagements into which he has entered. It considers there are now hopes of a satisfactory settlement being brought about.

Constantinople, Oct. 11. Further confirmation has been received of the reports previously current that the Sultan has agreed to cede Dulcigno unconditionally to Montenegro, and hopes are entertained that hostilities will be averted. Another terrible railway accident is reported as having occurred to-day. An excursion train on the Pittsburgh railway containing a large number of passengers met with an accident which caused it to leave the rails. The train was destroyed and 20 persons killed and many others injured. Teheran, Oct. 10. Tribes of predatory Khurds who recently crossed the Persian frontier in large numbers from Turkish territory continue their depredations, pillaging villages and laying waste the country. Large numbers of inhabitants have been massacred in the province of Arabistan. Governor Heshmerkad Dowlali, one of the uncles of the Shah, is rapidly collecting a force to march against the enemy. Calcutta, Oct. 12. The latest statements received from Burmah tend to show that the relations with that country are still of an unsatisfactory character, and an early outbreak of hostilities is now feared. A force consisting of 10,000 Burmese it collected on the frontier and is actively preparing to attack the troops in British Burmah. The garrison under the command of Capt. Allendy has been increased and measures are being taken to resist any hostile movement.
