THE BALKANS.

AMBASSADORS' CONFERENCE

Sir Cable—peess association—copyright. LONDON, Aug. 1. The Ambassadors' Conference has re-e-ommended the Powers to grant Montemegro a loan of £1,200,000 to assist her .'irrigation from the lakes of Scutari, in • consideration of Montenegrin troops -evacuating Albania. BUCHAREST, Aug. 1. Informal discussions by the delegates preceded the meeting in conference. The •chief obstacle to an early settlement is the Greek determination to secure Kawala. Bulgaria contends that Kavala is the natural port of Thrace. The Greek reply is that Dedeadgatch is Thrace's . port. The Bulgarians announce that they propose to construct a railway connect--ing Drama with Kavala, hoping thus to gain Roumania's support. Austria, Russia, and Italy support -Bulgaria's claim.
