(.Mali correspondence of Tho Associated Press.) Though the British asked for tho nine-hour ar mistice, which took placo on 3Iay 24, In tho Arl Uurnu theater of war, they were afterwards Inclined to drive a hard bargain for It, accord ing to Major Kemnl, ndjudtaut to General Essad Pacini, commander of tho Third Ottoman Army. Major Konml was entrusted with tho nego tiations preceding the armistice, and was given carto blaneho by his su porlorn, after they bad decided what tho conditions of tho arrangement wore to bo. "Tho Hrltlsh Bent a parliamentary Into our lines on 3Iny Hind," said .Major Kcmal to Tho Associated I'rcnu correspondent. "The officer came with a whlto flag and 1 was detailed to ascertain htj viMios.

When I, on the following day, caino to tho placo which had been selected for our meeting, I was fired upon by tlio Uritish artillery with shrapnel.

Hut the rifles found on botli sides of tho boundary had also to bo disposed of. In discussing this point I found that tho Hrltlsh wero Inclined to drive a hard bar- this condition was complied with. To gain time they suggested that I bring Sir Inn's reply to tlio attention of my superiors. Tills, 1 told them, was not necessary, becauso my in structions on tho subject wero final. After that tho Hrltlsh officers de manded that all Turkish shipping on tho Dardanelles bo also suspend ed. They wero not inclined to ac cept my explanation that this was an unfair condition, becauso sus pension of tho Turkish shipping on the Dardanelles would affect tho tho Ottoman troops at Sid-ol-Uahr, who would not bo concerned In the armistice. I had put no condition regarding Hrltlsh vessels at Sid-ol-Hahr, and, consequently, no con dition concerning Turkish shipping supplying tho Turkish troops at Sid-el-llalir ought to bo exacted. About Hospital Ships ".My conditions rolatlvo to tlio Hrltlsh vessels off Kaba Tpo and Arl Hournu wero that nouo but hospital ships wero to weigh anchor during tho period of truco, or woro to steam in or out of tlio territor ial waters ofTurkey. Sir Ian was acquainted with my decision not to yield that point. Ills reply was that ho would not affix his siguuturo to so preposterous a demnnd. My ans wer was that thoro would bo no armistice except tho condition was accoptcd. "Tlio arguments of humanity work both wnys, so I finally asked per mission of my superiors to waivo Sir Ian's signature to that condition, accepted Instead tho promiso that the condition would bo observed without forming part ot tho protocol, reserving for tho Turks tho right to opon hostilities without notice In case a slnglo Hrltlsh vessel, other than a hospital ship, undertook to change its location during the ar mistice Ilury tlio Dead "The rest of the story is slmplo enough," concluded 3InJor Konml. "Next day tho lino of sentries was established and the dead woro bur led. For nine hours wo bad pcaco at Arl llournou.
