danger of further outbreaks In Anatolia

~ pointing out to the Turkish press and
provincial officials that the blockade Of the
Island of Crete by the fleets of the pow
ere and the support given 10 the Turkish
forces by the foreign fleets was n triumph
for the policy of the sultan. have had their
effect in showing that the Christians In
Armenia are in danger Of determination.
Consequently it Is scmi.otiiciully stated
that the British admiral In Crctan waters
mas been notified not TO send any warships
OF Great Britain to take part In the pro-
posed blockade Of the ports of Greece. At
the same time. however. In order. appor-
emily, to avoid an open rupture with the
powers. Great Britain will acquiesce In
the blockade of the Greek ports. Accord
ing to reports In Constantinople diplomatic
circles the powers have already been mott.
fed to this cffccs. and the withdrawal Of
Great Britain from the blockade Is the one
subject discussed In court snd other cir.
cles. The sultan's advisors ore making

fact that Great Britain does not consti-
tute the whole of Europe. and that 50

that Great Britain has intimatcd TO the
