PARIS. August %. so p. m.-While
the officials OF the French foreign
Office decline to confirm or deny the
dispatch of the Associated Press from
Constantlnople. announcing that the
French ambassador has sent the Sultan
letter which Is In the nature OF an
ultimatum. they admit having received
a telegram from NJ Constans which has
been laid before the council now sit
ting at the Elysee palace. Only three
ministers were not present
The premier, NJ. Waldeck- Rosseau;
the minister of agriculture. NJ. Dupuy,
and the minister OF public works, M.
Baudln, are absent from Paris.
The correspondent learns that NJ.
Constans has been given free hand.
Any step he finds proper to take Will
be fully endorsed. The foreign minis
ter, NJ. Deloasse, II he deems it neees-
sary, will withdraw the French embassy
from Constantnople. and Muner Bey,

Switzerland. will be notified not to re-
turn to Paris, In which case Munler
Bey will probably withdraw the lega-
ton to Berne, as he is also accredited
as minister to Switzerland.
No naval demonstration is yet con-
templated. but the Sultan will probably
be seriously iuconvenieneed by the
closure of the turkish embassy here
which is the center OF the espionage
maintained to watch the numerous
Young Turks and other disaffected OF
toman subjects and voluntary exiles
who make their headquarters in Paris,
and who will have free hand II dip'o-
matte relations between France and
Turkey are completely broken off.
1t has been suggested that the French
government issue orders for the bourse
to cease dealing in Turkish securities,
but It Is not likely that this step will
be taken. as 1t would only injure the
French bond holders. The entire Turk
ish group fell on the bourse to-day In
some cases going down 10 to II francs.
According to a special dispatch he
ceived here from Berne, Munier Bey has
already leased villa there for the use
