PARIS, February 13.-A telegram from
Athens states that according to semi-ofti-
cial telegram received there from CONSTANT
nople, the Porte has intimated that it would
order the forts to fire on the British feet il it
attempted to enter the Dardanelles.
LONDON, February 13.-The Standard, in
its leader, says: :: We have reason to believe
the Porte will not much longer withhold
the firman admitting the British fleet, but its
concession wiiinot ameliorate the situation"
The London Leader, which is very war
like. concludes: "We have power to bring
cunning to Daught and reduce overbearing
force to prudence, and the Car may rest
assured that when other arguments are ex-

nouncements in Parliament have not apprc-
Gladly relieved the tension or disRelled the
excitement here.

pressed the expectation that the Govern
ment would seek permission to enter the
Dardanelles by means OF formal pledge
that it would have no other business before
Constantinople, except that declared in
Lord Derby's statement Of Friday. The
Gazette considered this "about as perilous
and humiIating position as was possible"

the Ministry to redeem the country from
this position at any cost, and demanded
such a reconstruction Of the Cabinet as
would leave no doubt that it, like the coun-
try, is OF one mind"

subject ''What was yesterday merely pro-
bable seems to-day pretty certain-namely,
that the entry of the British fleet in the
Dardaneles has become the subject OF re-
sotiations ostensibly between the British
Government and the Porte, but in reality
through the Porte between England and
Russia"
The Times leading editorial article says
"Howeyer desirable compromise may De
it can only be based upon the reestabllsh-
ment OF some degree Of mutual confidence,
and it is necessary to observe that 1t still
depends upon Russia to take the first steps
requisite for this purpose"
