OBJECT OF THE CONFERENCE.

[press association.] (Received Oct. 19, 9.33 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 19

While Constantinople telegrams declare that the reported mobilisation is unfounded, probably arising out of the exchange of troops between Constantinople and Adrianople, the' Turkish Ambassador in Paris states that mobilisation was done up to Saturday morning, but it was abandoned on Saturday night, after Bulgaria had given assurances producing a marked amelioration in the situation in the interests of peace. Reuters Constantinople correspondent reports that" Tewfik Pasha; informed the editor of the newspaper* Tanin that Turkey desired a conference to consider the independence of Bulgaria, the Austrian annexation ©f Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Ottoman' Sublic debt and the integrity of the ittoman Empire. Turkey excluded' the question of Crete. Tewfik Pashai added that the retrocession of Novibazar was conditional on neither Servia nor Montenegro's obtaining territorial compensation there, and Aus* tria's guaranteeing Turkey's possession of Novibazar.
