MOSUL DISPUTE.

DEMANDS BY TURKS. PROMISES "ONLY UtONY. Received December, 29, 9 a.m. LONDON, Dec. 28. Tho Times’s Constantinople correspondent says that the League’s Mosul decision continues to preoccupy the Turkish press, which was deceived by Mr Baldwin’s profession of friendly feelings. Tho papers demand acts not promises, and declare that until Turkey’s right to Mosul is satisfied all promises ami consolations will bo regarded as simply irony. It is still believed that a large minority, if not tho actual majority of the British people disapprove of the Government's policy, but the Turks are wisely not putting too much faith in the fall of the Baldwin Cabinet and therefore aro daily congratulating themselves on the Russian Treaty, which is described as the first step to Turkey’s preparations and a guarantee of her security.—Times. PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT WANTED. ANGORA GOVERNMENT’S VOTE. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 27. The Angora Government voted by an overwhelming majority in favour of a peaceful settlement of the Mosul dispute.—Sydney Sun cable.
