THE SITUATION IS DANGEROUS

Constautinople, February 14.--One Of Turkeys
most eminent statesmen who received the CORE
spondent in special audience this morning, said that
the Macedonian agitation is entirely artificial and
that the Ottoman empire is prepared to crush any at
tack its sovereignty, whether proceeding from in
side the empire or from any exterior source.
This crisis" said the minister lis the handwork
chiefly of the Bulgarian press and the whole stua-
ton is being grossly misrepresented with the object
OF provoking European intervention and Ultimately ac-
comphshing the inclusion Of Macedonia in Bulgaria,
Notwithstanding the desperate efforts of reyolu-
uoaary leaders and political sympathizers IN high
places the reforms already introduced by the Otto
man government in Macedonia are allaying popular
discomfort and paving the way for the complete
restoration of tranquility II the agators find some
means Of defeating Turkeys effort maintain peace,
no course viii be left this empire except to defend its
territory.
His imperial majesty. the sultan, permits me to
say that he Is convinced of the good faith Of the great
powers, who have expressed their desire to confne
their Alternative program to the improvement Of the
social condition of their corelgionists in Macedonia
undsturbed."
notwithstanding the official disclaimers of Turkey
even the most optimistic foreign diplomats aware
that the Balkan States are daily perfectng their
preparations for war
They can not, therefore conceal from themselves
the fact that the outcome of the present crisis is
grayaly doubtful and that the situation could not be
more dangerous At the same time they not but
believe that the honest endeavors of the powerful in
fuences concerned will avert war.

BRITISH SHIPS TO TRY OIL.
Important Tests Are to Be Made During the Spring
Cruise by the Navy.
Especial Correspondence to The PostJ

Cruise by the Navy.
(Special Correspondence to The Post)
London. February when the channel squad
ron assemblies for its spring cruise which will take
place about the time that this appears in print,
LIQUID fuel will undergo series Of important tests
These will settle the position Of oil as one Of the
fuels Of the greatest navy in the world. The Post
correspondent has just CLEANED the facts. For
various reasons but chiefly because liquid fuel will
be used in some OF the battleshps this spring cruis
will have an interest beyond the ordinary.
In regard to adapting warshps furnaces to the
consumption of this fuel the British admiralty is
still cropping its way towards goal which the Rus
slams reached long ago. The decision to try oil as
well as coal in bateships of the fleet does not indi-
cate that the difficulties which beset the use Of
liquid fuel have been absolutely overcome but rather
that the admiralty have made up their minds to en-
bark on a bold experiment and to see the thing
through The naval engineers are said to have i'm
proved the system of feeding the oil into the furnace
The two batteships selected for the trials at sea
are the Hannibal and Mars-both of the Majestic
class In their double bottoms have been placed stor
age tanks for the ola thick petroleum residual
from Borneo where the Shell Transport and Trad
ing company have important oil fields. The
sarboard boilers will burn coal only OF the boilers
the port SIDE the foremost have been altered to
consume oil alone, and the after ones to consume
coal and oil The oil is to be pumped from the
whence it will descend by gravity into the furnaces.
Special evaporators have been placed in the ships
Tor the purpose of working the sprays which to
distribute the liquid fuel in the furnaces Where no
coal is used the oil will be sprayed upon beds Of
asbestos, and in the other upon beds of live
Welsh coal In fitting up the Hannibal and Mars,
use has been made Of the knowledge acquired by
the trials in the warship Bonavenure. The oil fuel
fittings in the battleships fixed that they can
be removed in six hours if found necessary and coal
burned in the furnaces
Liquid fuel has many things to recommend it. and
sooner later it must come into general use in the
navy in combination with coal 1t is not likely to
GUST the latter altogether-at least, not for many
years to come. Doubt as to what the future may
hold rather spices the interest in the coming ex-
periments with oil against coal and the battle of the
fuels is made all the more interesting by the fact
that coal mining is of the greatest industries in
! Great Britain.
