the Cabinet. They are preparing Discus
sions on which the plenarY council op.n-

Mr.. Gosohen's hurried arrival rom
Switzerland yesterday. ana his long sub
sequo nj say at the Admiralty. created the
impression that dangerous developments
are impending. involving action on inc
part Of the British Mediterranean squad

Reliable Foreign Office opinion. how
ever. is that It is not the Turkish Gov
eminent. but tlat of China. which Is ur-
gently engaging the attention Of TIE MIN

The position recalls q speech That was
made by Lord Salisbury a. far back as

deter the Chinese from committing sucn

inspired by the sane opinion now. ana
that he means 10 take decisive action.

THE SACKVILLE PAMPHLET.
The pamphlet yio.enuy attackins OK
Ambassador Bayard and other Americans
issued by Lord Sackvllle, WHO, as Sir
Lionel Sackvi!Ie-Nost was some time
Minister 70 the United States, has not cA-
cited the smallest interest here. \ long

provincial paper. on which the Telegraph
commented, but did not quote the PAM

rnrch esteemed. depr.Ves the pamphlet OF
all its inheritance, except as dOuotiui
historic document. the validity OF "hIC"

lishcd Official record
Lord Sackyi!le personally has not me
remotest political influence. Since ms
withdrawal from the diplomatic service
he has sunk out of sight as completely as
an unknown country squire.
There is a vague rumor current IN 'il'
clubs that Mr.. Baydrd has brought Inc
parphlets to Lord Salisbury's ner>e, bd'
n is hardly credible. Lord Salisbury has
no official right To interfere in the mat
Ter. as Lord Sackvlle is now OUTSIDE OF
the government service.
