LONDON, 28th August. The Standard states that Russia has advanced new
pretensions, claiming that the Bosphorus is free up to the mouth of the Sea of Marmora. A movement of sympathy, especially in France, is beginning to be aroused on behalf of the Macedonians.
Germany's advice to Turkey to promptly repress the insurrection is interpreted in Paris to mean that Germany would prefer repression to intervention on the part of Austria and Russia.
It is believed that combined measures on a limited scale would be the most humane method of checking further bloodshed.
Opinion in Paris favours an Austro Russian armed demonstration, without the employment of force, as a means of restoring peace.
The corespondent of The Times at Constantinople states that the opinion is gaining ground that international control similar to that regarding Lebanon is I necessary in connection with Macedonia.
