BRITAIN AND TURKEY.
THE SULTAN'S OBJECT. Reoeived May 7, 9.17 a.m. LONDON, May 6. The Constantinople correspondent of the Daily Telegraph reports that the Sultan's object in oooupying Tabah is to seoure a direct route from Syria to Hedjaz and Yemen, thus enabling troops to move throughout the Empire without leaving their territory. ULTIMATUM HAS A SOBERING EFFECT. SERMONS PREACHED ARil LESS INFLAMMATORY^ Received May 7, 10.54 p.m. LONDON, May 7. Vice-Admiral Lord Hereford's fleet at Phalerum is proceeding to Piraeus. The ultimatum has had a sobering effect at Cairo. The sermons preached in the mosques are Jess inflammatory. The Constantinople correspondent of the Tjmes leports that the growing impression is that one result of the Porte's obstinacy will be to ,ohange Egypt's relations with Turkey. It is felt that the part played by Mukhtar , Pasha will justify Great Britain in refusing to allow any Turkish representative to remain in Egypt. The Commissioner's mission was apparently to encourage an anti-British agitation, which has subsidised, in Constantinople.
