BRITISH WARSHIPS TO PASS THROUGH DARDANELLES AGAIN.—Battleships from the Mediterranean Fleet are to pay a visit to Constantinople at the invitation of the Turkish Government. The British sailors will stay nine days in the old Turkish capital. Ancient Byzantium occupied the site of what is now Stamboul, a portion of which is seen above, between the foreground and the centre. This is the most crowded part of Constantinople and very Turkish in appearance, whereas Pera and Galata, on the farther side, are the business quarters of the city. The Golden Horn makes a fine arterial harbour and is crossed by two bridges, of which the newer one, the Galata, is shown in the picture. Both banks are crowded with shipping, as is the bridge on the seaward side. To the right of its nearer end is the dome of Yeni Valideh.
