May Withdraw warships.
Paris, Aug. 22-Advices say the Rus
sian squadron Indiana is likely to leave
Turkish waters within the next few

given adequate assurances that it will
meet all the Russian demands. The with
drawal of the warships will be due

Britain had taken no action Of this char
acter, and it appears as if Italy will also
refrain from carrying out her decision
to dispatch warships to Turkey, as the
Italian embassy says no report of their
departure has yet been received. This

Turkish acceptance of Russias de-
mands, which was confirmed at the
Turkish embassy.

dence Beige Thursday could not be ap-
proved by the powers, as it is evident
