On the visit of the car the Berliner
Tageblatt writes: THE interview at Con-

Konopischt The interview at Constantine
signifies. according to some. the end OF
Roumania's relations with the triple al
lance On the Russian side they would
end these relations and make Roumania

The Tageblatt does not think that the
marriage Of Prince Charles with the
daughter Of the car is Of great political
importance, but 1t believes that a change
has taken place in the relations Of Rou-
mania with the triple alliance. The re-
suits Of the political faults committed by
Austria last year were now apparent.

The Greek legation at Constantinople
communicated the following memoran-
dunn to the press:
"Talaat Bey. minister of the interior of
Turkey. declared in a recent interview
that the annexation of Macedonia to
Greece had provoked the emigration to
Turkey of 100000 Mussulmans. david
Bey in turn declared that the number
would reach 100000. Now after official
statistics Of the government OF Macedonia
the total of Mussulmans who had quilted
Macedonia by way Of Salonikf was up to
today 10000 OF these Mussulmans 1900
only came from territories attributed to
Greece: the other 81 600 came from terri
tories annexed to Bulgaria 22.0Oo) and to
Servia as, 000)."
The number Of 10000 represents not
only the general emigration, but also
all Mussulmans departing from Saloniki.
