the Indian Onice instructed him 10 seize nil

Marshal for hat territory to be libelted as pro-

The War Scare in tho Egeau.

Although tho rumor that Cape Sigrl on
the Island OF Mitylene. or Lesbos, has been
occupied by tho British turns out to have
been unfounded. this is one OF those cases
where it may be said that coming events
cast their shadows before. anu that
this particular report. II not true, was clev-
erly invented. The strategic importance Of
Lesbos with reference to the Dardanelles
was thoroughly understood throughout the
struggle OF Greece against Persia and DUR
ing this IclopOnnesian war, and the Occupa-
ton either OF this island or OF Tenedos
would be a natural move for England to
make, If Russian attempt to seize Constan-
tnoplo were seriously apprehended.
1t is certain that the abrupt dismissal OF
| KIAMIL Pasha from tho Office OF Grand
Vlzer. and the substitution OF a Russophle
in the Turkish Foreign Office, coupled with
| the permitted passage through the 1Ielcs-
pont Of vessels practically, IL not Ostensi-
bly,, belonging to the Czar's navy, calls for
| some counterdrmonstration on the part OF
England, unless existing treaties arc to
DO abrogated without even the formality
of notification to the powers interested. Tho
right OF Turkey to close the Dar,ianelles to
the troop ships rs well as war ships OF all
foreign nations has been thrice solelnnly af-
hrmcd, namely, by the London convention
OF 1871. by the treaty Of Paris in 1885,
and by the London conference Of 1871.
Nor is it accurate TO speak OF this
agreement as saLc'ioning merely II
right which the Porte WAS ut liberty
| to disregard. II WAS muIc than Il right
which was laid down; II was duty in whose
