THE EASTERN WAR CLOUD.

1t turns out to have been a mistake
on the part Of a European news agency
which resulted in the report that Ad-
miral Caillard's division of the French
Mediterranean fleet had returned to
Toulon on Thursday night. Advices
from Paris Thursday are to the effect
that 1t is steaming toward the Levant.
and that 1t may be expected to sight
Smyrna by sunday, What will then
happen will be seen in good time.
A dispatch from Paris says: "The
Sultan has ordered the completion with
all speed of the defenses at Salonika,
Smyrna, and the entrance to the OAR
dsnelles," says the Constantinople cor.
respondent OF the Echo de Psris. Sub.
marine mines will be placed and troops
modified at points where disembarka.
tons are likely.
"a violent anti-French feeling pre-
walls, and fears are felt for the safety OF
French residents 10 Turkish cities, Con-
stantinople excepted"
The dispatch from Toulon announc.
ing the return Of Admiral Csillsrd's
division OF the French Mediterranean
squadron to that port proves to be 10.
correct. The officials OF the foreign
office yesterday informed the Associa-
ted Press that the admiral has not re.
turned, and that facts set forth In the
dispatches yesterday are incorrect. The
admiral Ia now on his way to Turkish
waters.
The incorrect announcement from
Toulon of the return of Admiral Call
lard's division, which created q great
sensation, emsnsted from the CORES
pondent of a well.known agency. The
explanation Is that Admiral MaiRret,
commander OF the Mediterranean feet,
returned to Toulon at o'clock yester-
day evening with all bis vessels. except
those belonging TO Admiral Csillard's
division. The correspondent OF the
news agency referred TO miscounted the
vessels, owing to the darkness.
A corrected list oil Admiral Csillard's
ships is now published. The list cabed
yesterday was that of his ordinary light
division, but 1t appears that q special
squadron was formed, composed of the
Dsttleships Gsulois and Charlemsgne,
the cruisers Admiral Pothuau, Clancy,
and Gslilee, and two torpedo-boat de.
stroyers OF the Hsllabarde type.
