Turkey PROTESTS.

But Greece Will Send Armed Fleet to
Crete Notwithstanding.
Athens, February II. --Assim Bey, the
Turkish minister, today visited the for
eign office snd made protest against
the dispatch Of the Greek torpedo feet to
Crete. Assim Bey was treated with the
utmost courtesy and informed, as far MS
diplomacy allowed, of the attitude of
Grece on the Cretan question.
His protest was, as far as known, pro-
ductive of no result. The creek govern
ment will not recall the fotil1a and fur
thermore, second hotilla will shortly
start fol- Crete. The troubles in the
island have caused many residents to fee
to Greece for safety. Since the outbreak x
began, fully 5000 Cretans have arrived ut
Piraeus. Many of the refugees are unable
to care for themselves and the govern
ment will be compelled to aid them.

IN THE SENATE.

In the Senate the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill was taken up.
INQUIRY was made by Mr.. Morgan 90 to
the item of $40. 600 for envoy extraordi-
nary and minister plsnipotenitary to
Nicaragua, Cosea Rica and Salvador. He
referred, to the change in diplomatic ar
ranQements in Central America, throu ugh
the formation of the diet by Honduras.
Salvador and Nicaragua, SO the sending
of minister to the three states mem
toned in the item would be insppropri-
ate.
He understood the foreign offices OF
Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador had
been closed and an American minister
there could have no official oommunica-
tion with those governments. That
brought about a very awkward compil-
cation. He would like to know what
the committee on appropriations Thought
about it. 1t all arose. from the fact that
the President of the United States had
not thought 1t worth while to inform
the Senate of the diplomatic chan ges
that had taken place in Central Ameri-
Ca, but chosen to keep the matters In his
own hands.
The Senate would either ignore the
operations of the President on the sub
Ject and pass them "as idle wind" OF
else proceed in conformity with some
suggestion of the President il the Prss1-
dent would condescend to make sug
gestion. >,
Mr.. Hale, in charge Of the bill, saic
