BERLIN CONFERENCE.

BERLIN, June 26.—The line of frontier adopted by the Supplementary Conference is as follows: On the east it follows the northern valley crest of the Salambria at a considerable distance from the river up to the northward around Metzovo, slices away a little more than one-third of the Greek speaking province of Zazoro, then strikes across the country to and includes Janina and joins Calamas considerably above the middle point of its course, and following the bed of this stream falls into the strait of Corfu with the northern arm of the river.

CONSTANTINOPLE, June 26.—The Porte has addressed a note to the foreign Ambassadors, stating it is informed the Conference at Berlin has adopted a frontier line, giving Janina to Greece. The note reminds the Powers that, in accordance with the Treaty of Berlin, they have only the right of mediation, not of final decision of this matter. The Porte also announces its intention of occupying the districts ceded to Montenegro, when the agitation amongst the Albanians has subsided, and of compensating Montenegro for the expenses she has incurred in connection with this matter. Prevesa has been declared in a state of siege.
