| London, November 5.-The Paris corre- spondent of the Daily Mall says he un- derstands that dispatches have been re- ceived at the French capital announcing 1 that Admiral Caillards division of the French Mediterranean squadron has ar rived at Smyrna and seized the customs.
 Paris, Novemb Der An the chambebr of deputies today M. Sembat (radical sooial- 1 isD interpellated the government on the Franco-Turkish dispute. criticizing the action taken as being for a material end and contending that France ought to have intervened at the time of the Armenian massacres.
 | The foreign minister, M. Deicasse, re- piled that Frances patience was ex- hausted by the porte's breaking it's promises. In the present difficulty France pursued no fresh advantage. but everybody would agree that this effort on the part of France ought to at least serve to put an end to the annoyances and unjust treatment under which France works in the Orient of which her scholastic and hospital establishments and commercial and industrial enterprises had been the object He added:
 Unless parliament arrests our action the government wishes to show that France after exemplary patience. has other things to oppose to the long and | persistent refusals to do justice than sim pie observations. The government inter vened in the ouays question in order to | +<. R,,ia the government had not done so there would have been an end of the numerous enterprises which France had created in Turkey. in the shape of railroads. light houses and banks.
 Porte Forgets It's Promises. "The porte has also persisted iE its re- fusal to reimburse Tubini and Lorando In spite of the decrees of the tribunals in l their favor The debt has been reduced | by a large percentage and the porte, in- August, agreed to give satisfaction. but l on the morrow these arrangements were | forgotten and others were proposed. Our minister then ceased official relations l with the porte. There was no ultimatum. but the cessation of relations indicated that the government took the porte's word seriously. and that it intended that the engagements entered into should be respected, but reserved to itself tho fixing of the moment for their execution"
 As to Armenia, M. Delcasse said that the appearance of French cruisers off the Turkish coast had several times proved that France had not forgotten the pro- tection she owed to Christians. and the latter understood this. It was true that | the reforms promised the Armenians had not been executed. that the Armenians had too often been the victims Of unpan- ished outrages, and that oppression also reigned in Macedonia and in old Servia- The French government had made every | effort to restore justice and tranquility, but France was not alone bound by tho | treaty of Berlin. The chamber could rest assured that the government would never forget its duties towards humanity. But it must, first of all, remember it's duties towards France.
 The foreign minister's statement was greeted with applause. E. Sembat was not satisfied with M. Delcasse's statement and moved that the chamber. convinced that France would fail in her duty if it did not protect the Armenians in an eff feotual manner. resolved that the gov ernment facilitate this protest by an I agreement between the powers.
 Sustains the Government.
 The Premier. M. Waldeck-Rousseau then rose and said that M. Delcasse's dee elarations showed that the govern mcnts ts six wss heavy and complex. As , the govei nment desired respect fer the interests of Its fellow citizens. so 1t in- tended to defend the patrinony of moral interests devolving upon France. It need ed the confidence of the chamber in or der to accomplish its task.
 M. Castenet then moved that the cham } Der, confident that the government would enforce respect for the interests and honor of France. passed to the order of the day.
 The cham Der then by so5 to 77 votes sus- tained the governments towards Turkey and expressed confidence in the govern ment.
 | Enaland's Concentration Camps.
 Prior to the debate on the Turkish in- cident M. Berry asked leave to inter- pellate the government regarding the measures 1t proposed to take in accof9 with other governments to call upon the British government to remove the women and children in the South African con centration camps to healthful districts.
 M. DesChanel. president of the cham Der, remarked that it would be difficult to interpellate the French government for the acts of the British government
 After brief discussion, during which M. Millevoye was called to order for speaking of Mir. Chamberlain. the British colonial secretary, as a coward and an assassin, the chamber decided to debate M. Berry's interpolation at later date.
 The porte has asked Great Britain, says the Constantinople correspondent Of the Echo de Paris. Ito fulfill the terms of the convention of 1878 whereby. in exchange for the island of Cyprus. Great Britain guarantees the integrity of the sultan's Asatlc possessions
