The Turkish Ambassador here has not
conferred with Baron Sonnino. the For

communicating with the Porte exclusively
through the italian Ambassador at Con-
stantinople.
Despite the rigid censorship, II is now
known that the Italian Government prac-
ticaly has presented an ultimatum to
Turkey not, as stated through the Turk
ish Ambassador In Rome, but through
Marchese Gsrroni, Italian Ambassador in
ConstantlnopIe.
The Turkish proposal that all Italians
IN Asia Minor be concentrated at Smyrna
and embark from that port, Is declared
completely acceptable. II Is pointed out
that under such circumstances repatria-
tion would take several weeks. II is
strongly suspected that Turkey desires to
concentrate the Italians at Smyrna In
order 10 hold them hostages.
Natsy Bey, who would be given his
passport, stated that he had already rent

eventuality.
