cording 10 a report which is credited IN onlclal

self 10 bully the Sultan with threat that the
Of he Powers would
passage through the Dardanelles if the de-
mands of the Powers for permits admitting
additional dispatch boats were not granted.
This threat caused TcWiik Pacha, the Turkish
Minister Of Foreign Affairs. to assent to the
presence of British gunboat at Constant-
nople. upon the strength OF which Sir Philp
Currie requested Admiral Seymour. command
ing the British Mediterranean Squadron, to
send a gunboat TO the Ddrdanees forthwith,
which request was acknowledged by the i'm
mediate disratch Of the gunboat Dryad to
Turkish waters. Meanwhile, however. the Sui

Despite the obvious differences among the
Powers TO plan Of acton in Turkey. the
German official press has been instructed to
keep up the fiction that the concert Of the Pow
ers is unimpaired. The North German Gazette"
on Friday made an attack upon the policy of
England impernE the territorial strength of
the Turkish Empire. yet it still procaims that
the concord Of opinion among the Powers
well as the common aim of the European Gov
ernmeEts is being maintained.
The Cologne Gazette" strongly objects to the
attempts to discriminate between the action of
Germany and any other Power. but declares that
the idea favored by England of the disruption of
the Turkish Empire was never entertained by
the German Government. the sole aim of whose
diplomacy is to exert ITS good relations with the
Sultan for the benefit OF the general interests of
Europe.
The wild schemes for the partition of Turkey
which have been widely and persistently dis
cussed in the English press have made most
unfavorabe impression here. The North Ger
man Gazette" calls them fantastic, and regrets
the fact that they are not confined to the news
papers alone. but that their propagation pre-
walls In higher quarters in Great Britain.
The "Gazette' says:
Public opinion is taking direction entirely dif-
ferent from that taken by Continental opinion. No
German. Austrian Italian statesman has
talked about the "unspeakable Turk or discussed
the policy Of breaking up the Turkish Empire.
Die National Zeitung' says:
Nothing better could be devised 10 lead to a
European than these plans Of Turkish dis
ruption the chief object Of which is TO agsrandlzo
the Empire of Great Britain.
