NEW YORK, February 4. A London special
says it is rumored that all Englands Efforts will be
directed to preventing the Turkish fleet falling
into the hands of Russia. That the Turkish fleet
has been ordered to Greece and that as soon as

diately seized by British ironclads and conveyed
to Malta.
In brief the high-handed proceeding at Copen-
hagen in 1901 will find parallel in 1873. Hobart
Pasha will have special instructions from the Porte
as to his conduct, when the British fleet makes its
appearance, without violating the neutra lily of
the straits.
England's naval supremacy would then remain
unquesioned.
