LONDON, Monday, Feb. 17.— A dispatch to The Dally Mail from Constantinople says:
"The Grand Vizier, Mahmoud Shevket Pashak has been converted by a clearer knowledge of his office to the belief of Kiamil Pasha's Cabinet, which he overthrew, that the greatest need of Turkey is to bring the war to an end. He is paying frequent visits to the foreign embassies. At one of them, I am told, he mooted the possibility of surrendering Adrianople and the Black Sea frontier past Media, but I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the statement."
A Daily Mail dispatch from Sofia says:
"The Turkish battleship Assaritewfik, which went ashore on the Black Sea coast, has been blown up by Bulgarian engineers.
"Another sortie of the Turks from Adrianople has been repulsed by the Bulgarians."
