Telegrams from Constantinople state that the relations of Germany and Turkey have been severed, owing to the German demand that Turkey should hand over to Germany lier navy. Excitement against Germany is growing, owing to last week's events. The Germans demanded that the cruiser Hamidje should be handed over as compensation for the Breslau, which was destroyed at the Dardanelles.
The Hamidje, under the German flag, had gone to Sebastopol, despite Turkish protests, whilst the Goeben had also left Turkey.—Press Association.
In 1914 the Turkish navy consisted of 4 battleships, 4 protected cruisers, 2 torpedo vessels, 15 gunboats, 8 torpedo boat destroyers, 10 torpedo boats. There have, however, been several losses.
