LONDON, March 23-Noon.-A special TO the
Times from ST. Petersburg says that rumors are
in circulation that Russia has demanded that
the British fleet quit the Sea of Marmora imme-
diately. The correspondent believes that the
report, although exaggerated is not.entrcly un-
founded. Minister LayarPs opposition to the
embarkation of Russian troops 1t Bujukderc
caused great irritation. An inspired article in
the Journal de ST. Petersburg attracts much at
tcntion 1t points to the continuance OF the
fleet in the Sea of Marmora in defiance of in
ternational law, and asks if it is not time to ash
England what she really wants Europe should
call England before her judgment seat, and sam
mon her TO re-enter the sphere of international
law by quitting the Straits and formally engGg-
ing net TO return. Semi )tficial hints are given
that if England does not wish to attend the Con-
gress it will meet without her.
In connection with the foregoing intelligence
it should be stated that runOrS were circulating
in the lobbies of Par!iIncnt last night that the
tone in English official circles is decidedly war
like.
a Berlin dispatch says that the North German
Gazette says that it is evident that Russia re-
CARDS war with England MS inevitable, and knows
that she was never better able to wage it than
now.
The Paris corrcspQpdspt.,Sf the Daily Tele-
acquicscc in secret agreement according to
which Russia would assist Turkey against
Greek English combination, and against the en-
try of he British feet into the Bosphorus or BAR
duncllcs, largely diminish the indemnity and
guarantee the integrity of the remaining Turk
ish territory, receiving in return a directing
power over the revenues of the Porte.
The Times says ;hat orders for new torpedo
vessels for the navy have been distributed among
various ship builders, PRINCIPALLY on the Thames.
Two firms have undertaken to contract for eight
thousand torpedo sinkers, their average weight
to be eleven hundred pounds. They arc being
slowed away in various parts Of the Royal ar
senal at MOo.wch convenient for shipment to
stations at home and abroad.
The Russians arc having one hundred tor
pcdo boats built on the model of one purchased
in EnG!and, but no part Of tho order has come
TO this country, as international complications
might hinder its fplilment.
