A Journey into the Herzegovina: Fire at a Gunpowder Depot at Grahovo, 1876. ' It is reported from Constantinople that the new Government of Sultan Mourad V. will allow an armistice of six weeks. But, on the other hand, it has been noticed that the proclamation announcing the contemplated reforms of the new reign does not even mention the insurgents, and is absolutely silent about the special privileges offered them by Abdul Aziz. There can be no doubt that the new Turkish Government, though they intend introducing liberal reforms, have followed up their refusal to endorse the Berlin programme


A Journey into the Herzegovina: Fire at a Gunpowder Depot at Grahovo, 1876. ' It is reported from Constantinople that the new Government of Sultan Mourad V. will allow an armistice of six weeks. But, on the other hand, it has been noticed that the proclamation announcing the contemplated reforms of the new reign does not even mention the insurgents, and is absolutely silent about the special privileges offered them by Abdul Aziz. There can be no doubt that the new Turkish Government, though they intend introducing liberal reforms, have followed up their refusal to endorse the Berlin programme by denying guarantees and deprecating all foreign interference whatsoever. In the meantime the utmost exertions are being made to increase the Turkish troops and to crush the insurrection, as well as to chastise Servia and Montenegro'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
