LONDON, March 26
Mr Martin Donohoe, the Daily Chronicle correspondent, writing from C'onstanza, says there is a bitter struggle m Constantinople between the war and peace parties. The latter demand ea.pitulation, and the feud may culminate m a revolution. The Military League, considered a.s sworn foes of the Committee of Union and Progress, has resuscitated its aims to destroy ihe GermanYoung Turk incubus. Already the army , is divided. Fear of a coup d'etat led the Government to contemplate a separate peace, and after a Stormy Cabinet meeting a majority .decided to negotiate with the Allied Commander-in-Chief, and asked the American Ambassador certain conditions for tho sun-render of the Dardanelles and Constantinople. At tho last moment General von Sanders,, thb German Commandant, broke into the Cabinet room and furiously expostulated, and threatened with instant .arrest Ihe peace majority, and vowed to shoot any member communicating -with the Allies. He bludgeoned the Government into submission.
