A foreign office official, m communi
cating tho foregoing to the correspond

“Tne Gpauron sailed wirn sealed or

tions as to carrying out ids sealed or-

what the sealed orders are. bur
the seizure of tne customs at Smyr
na wouia probably be a verv ef-
iectiv- way of convincing the sultan
that France’s patience is exhausted, and
that we may nave decided to enforce an

“Our squadron will not reach the

acted very considerately toward Tur

she would carry out her engagement
and it is only now, when we find that
there is no serum.-- indication ox her do- j
ing so. that we have reluctantly con- |
ciuded to place strong pressure on her in j

“It is now two mouths since the

May Bombard Port.
“The Vernal situation in the Turk
ish eir deterred us for some time
from taking drastic measures to enforce
our demands. But the dignity of France
could nor permit the present state of
affairs to be prolonged indefinitely. We
sincerely hope the sultan will fully ap
preciate the fact that we cannot any
longer be trifled with and relieve us of
taking lurcher steps to safeguard our
interests. ”
The official was asked what would
happen in the event of the French
squadron being ordered to seize the cus
toms and if the Turkish authorities re
sisted, and he replied:
“That is a very unlikely contingency,
bur if it occurs I suppose we shall have
to bombard tue port. We do not want
bloodshed, and I do not believe there
will be any occasion for it.”
