LONDON, March 4.-British off,
GERS Of the allied fleet bombarding the
Dardanelles are quoted in an Athens
dispatch as saying that only two forts
in the Turkish defenses now remain in
tact. The bombardment Of the inner
forts was resumed this morning, when
ten large warships re-entered the
straits. Constantinople denies reports
Of heavy damage.
The French warships are lombard
ing the Turkish position at Bulair,
while the British warships are bat
tering the forts in the narrows of the
Dardanelles. The allies ships now
show the colors of the triple entente
by the addition of the Russian cruiser
SKIOLD and undoubtedly have turned the
straits of the Dardanelles into an in

which it is said make the fleet number

Canopus, last heard of as anchored of
the Falkland islands after she was
compelled to withdraw from an action
by the German squadron.
German military authorities admit
the capture Of Przasnysz. in northern

Attaches Of the Turkish embassy here
profess to be unconcerned regarding
the bombardment Of the Dardanelles
forts by the great allied fleet. They
declare the Notifications are impreg-
nable and that the landing of troops at
the entrance to the straits is impos-
sible. They also say that any attempt
to land force at some point along
the shore of the Gulf of Saros would
require more men than the allies are
able to concentrate, leaving out of
consideration the strong Turkish
forces stationed at all the threatened
points. The Constantinople CORES
pondent Of the Frankforter Beitung
sends his paper an interview with
Enver Pasha in which the chief. of the
Turkish general staff is said to have
declared that the damage to the outer
forts was less than had been report
ed, but that these forts were the DID,
est of the entire line and their early
reduction had always been expected if
a serious attack was made upon the
Dardanelles.
