    SOFIA, Nov. 19.— Last night the replies of Greece and Servia to the Bulgarian communication regarding the Turkish proposals for an armistice were received here, and this morning a Cabinet council was held at which the Demands of Bulgaria were added to those of her allies and joint reply was drafted.
    This was immediately telegraphed to the Governments of the other States, and, their approval having been signified, the conditions which the allies are prepared to accept for an armistice were communicated this evening to the Porte.
    The tenor of the joint reply cannot, of course, be disclosed until it has been ascertained that it has reached Constantinople. The conditions undoubtedly are severe, but this was only to be expected in the circumstances.
    As already indicated in The Times, the surrender of Adrianople and Scutari and of the troops engaged in withstanding the sieges of those towns is held to be indispensable, and the delivery of Yanina to the Greeks is also insisted on.
    I have further reason to believe that the Porte has been given to understand that Constantinople, the shore of the Sea of Marmora, and the Dardanelles, with a small adjacent territory, may remain under Turkish sovereignty. Even should the terms be accepted, the Bulgarian Government will have no little difficulty in arresting the advance of its troops, who, as well as their commanding officers, are burning to enter Constantinople and dictate terms of peace at the capital of their hereditary foe.
