Preliminary reports to the British

The local official inquiry at Hamil-

State Department has not received its
report from the American consul at
Hamilton. which was ordered by mail.
The British reports contend that the
action of the sentry was justifiable.
Montgomery had in the boat with him
a pilot or guide, and it Is said that the
fault lay entirely with the latter. The

Special Cable TO The Washington Herald
Paris. March 9.-Far more interesting
than the present trench fighting and
equally potent in dramatic surprises are
the negotiations now going on behind
the closed doors of the chancellories of
the great powers. The vast machinery
OF diplomacy has been in full motion
throughout the war. but since the de-
cision to force the Dardanelles the initia-
tive OF which WAS taken by Great Bri-
tain. il has been working at top pres
sure to prepare for a settlement of the
vastly complicated questions which the
future of Constantinople and Asia Minor
open up.
Green table conferences on these oues-
tons are going on almost daily in Eng
land. France. Russia. Italy, Roumana
Greece. and Bulgaria. but no inkIing Of
the decisions arrived at il allowed to
penetrate TO the public At moment
when diplomacy is confronted with prob
lens unequaled since the days OF Ma
polcon and Metternich. secrecy is so
rigid that only a handful of the leading
diplomats are acquainted with the pro-
posals made in the chancellories.
New Plan Evolved.
I have been able to gather. however.
from an Inmpeachable source that the
principal decision upon which the entente
allies have reached an agreement that
is practically final il the granting Of
tonStantinoplc to Eelgium as Curnpensa-
ton for the Wholesale ruin of her coun-
try.
RuSsia's claims to Constantinople did
as much as the winter weather to delay
action by England and France against
the Dardanelles. When the first shots
were fired at Kun kateh speculation was
rife as to whether England had thrown
over her old doctrine for keeping the
Russian Black Sea fleet from the Mcdi-
terrenean.
Early in the year Sir Edward Grey
made slip in fnreshadowing in a public
statement Russian possession of Constau-
ttnople. This lapSus was seized upon by
NJ Sazonoff. the Russian foreign minis
ter. who pointedly referred to the salts
faction OF Russian aspirations in his re-
cent statement in the Duma The upshot
was a question in the House of Commons
which enabled Sir Edward Grey to reply
in effect that il must not necessarily he
concluded that the Gar would add the
Turkish capital to his empire.
Russian Difficulty Increased.
The Russian difficulty was rendered all
the greater by the uncompromising atti-
