HARINGTON’S THREAT. DISTRUST OF TURKS. LONDON, October 10. The crisis is marking time pending Angora’s reply. The British. Cabinet met this evening, but there was only a short sitting as no further despatch from General Harington was received. The ‘ ‘ Morning Post ’s ’ ’ Constantinople correspondent says that General Harington returned to Constantinop J pending the receipt of an answer from Angora. At the close of the conference with Ismet, General Harington said that the British have now on the spot a large number of ships and quite a considerable number of men and very large guns, adding: “The British are a bad nation, to quarrel with.” Those in closest touch with the conference are still doubtful how matters will go; also whether the Turks are negotiating in good faith.
