Associated Press. "A feeling Of great
eat anxiety prevails in all circles here.
There IL no doubt the crisis Of extreme
gravity has been reached and that the
powers are discussing the deposition OF
the sultan, that being apparently, the
only means Of restoring quiet aud con-
fidence within tho Turkish empire
A British feet Of about Is warhips
are off Island Of Thomas and within
easy striking distance should an emer-
gency arise, and It is believed Great
Britain will not hesitate TO act alone In
the matter Of putting an end to the
present disgraceful state OF affairs II

As almost generally expected. the ex-
traordinary tribunal which has been

discomfort prevailing, not only In tn
army and navy. but in Turkish ofiicia
