JEOTED
(Received Last Night, 9.90 o'clock.)
LONDON, January 7.
Reshed Pasha handed the Allies a declaration to the effect that tlie cession of Adrianople was impossible from the standpoint of tho security of the Dardanelles and Constantinople. Turkey, he said, consented to abandon Crete on the express condition tiv-'t no other island was claimed.
The conference then adjourned for twem.y minutes.
Tho Allies replied that the declaration did uot meet with their demands. Tlu new proposal, they said, was not of a nature to lead to an agreement, aj.d they therefore were obliged to siiispend the conference.
