Defendants Prepared to Rest.
Failure on the part of two of the
defendants, Messrs. Sheridan and
Broxon, to secure the 30-day continu-
ance requested by them of the court

presented to the court. nor did he feel
that during that time he could do just
ice to his clients or himself, and there

Americans In Danger.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Possibility of
danger to American life and property
in Turkey was forecasted in an official
dispatch received here yesterday stat
ing that foreign subjects in Smyrna,
Asia Minor, feared an outbreak In that
city II the Turkish soldiers returned
after disastrous peace.
Grave fears, apparently. exist in the
minds Of foreigners in Asia Minor that
the vanquished Turkish soldiers upon
their return may seek revenge for their
defeat by falling upon the strangers in
their midst, whose sympathies, based
on religious differences. have been with
allies.
Officials at the state and navy de-
partments were interested in reports
from Constantinople that negotiations
between Selih Bey. Turkish minister of
marine, and the Argentine government
for the purchase OF a powerful warship
had reached an advanced stage.
It was pointed out that the delivery
OF a battleship to Turkey by Argentine
curing the present hostilities would be
clearly in violation Of international law,
On the other hand, the United States
might be brought into the international
tangle since the only formidable war
ships which Argentine could put on
the market are two dreadnoughts. now
under construction in American ship
Yards These are the Moreno and the
Rivadavia.
Although the prospective sale could
be, consummated, the warships could
not be delivered to Turkey until peace
has been made between that govern
ment and the Balkan allies. 1t is
thought here that II the Turkish gov
eminent is negotiating with Argenine
for warship. the latter must have ir
mind the sale Of one of the vessels

in the main of two old coast defense

Greece to Participate.

London. Dec. 6.--Greece last night
announced that she would participate
in the peace negotiations.
1t is explained both from Sonia and
Athens that Greece held off from the
srmistice, In agreement with the allies
in order to prevent Turkey profiting
from the armistice to improve her
military positions.

says the Greeks are continuing their
operations against Janina, but orders
have been received to cease hostilities.

rangements had been made for revic-
tualing the besieged garrison appear
to have been Inaccurate. Provisioning

dicating that the difficult problems
would be solved at the London con-
ference, and expressed the hope that

over by the Balkan states, and added
that France probably would arrange
special conventions with the allies for
the protection of French interests in
