(By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright.) (Received February 18, 9.30 a.m.)
ISTANBUL, February 17.
Sir Reginald Hoare, British Ambassador at Bucharest, has arrived.
He said that there are 350,000 German troops .in Rumania, and that 1600 Jews were killed in the recent Iron Guard revolt.
"One of my last acts," he said, "was to hand to General Antonescu a British protest regarding the sending of 3000 Polish refugees from Rumania to Germany. The breaking off of relations between Britain and Rumania was inevitable when the Germans took over the country completely. Most Rumanians, like the British, regretted the break. "My last chat with General
Antonescu was a friendly one. He said it was most unkind of us to break off relations with Rumania and not with Hungary. The General seems to be trying to convince himself that Germany will win."
It is revealed that some Rumanian friends whispered to. Sir Reginald Hoare at the station: "Come soon and bomb us."
Mr. Kendall, British Consul at Constanza, who has also arrived, said that 45,000 German troops are concentrated at Constanza.
