It 1s stated | that a special understanding will be entered | into on this subject. The question as to the fortifications on the land side will not be dis. cussed, so that in that respect Russia will be unrestricted. It is declared in high Russian circles that. this settlement of the Batoumn question was arranged at a private interview between Lord Beaconsfield aud Prince Gortschakoff yesterday morning. The settle- ment leaves the Lazi territory under Turkish control. Itis also declared that at the same interview Lord Beaconsfield fully and frankly defended the Anglo-Turkish’ convention. Prince Gortschakolt replied that Russia saw nothing objectionable in the convention, as she entértained no project for aggrandizement | on tife coast of Asiatic Turkey. He perceived | no difference between England’s occupation | of Cyprus and her occupation of Malta. H+ would always be pleased with everything | tending to strengthen England's road to India, | because calculated to promote the prosperity | of the whole world.
