Britain and Turkey.
London, Mayn
Fifteen British warships are at Port Said in readiness to patrol the canal when the ultimatum expires. The Daily Telegraph’s Constantinople correspondent reports that it is not believed the British will force the Dardanelles, though it is expected they will seize Turkish territory. The Porte’s indifference is assumed in order to impress the public that the subject is of little importance if the concession is absolutely necessary. Sir N. O’Connor, the British Minister, sternly rejected the overtures of Tewfik Pasha, Minister for Foreign Affairs, insisting on absolute compliance with British demands.
