Another point at issue is the settlement of two French bankers’ claims for £BOO,OOO. The consensus of opinion in well-informed diplomatic circles is that the Sultan will yield at the last moment. The price stipulated for the quays was 41,000,000 francs. P-i.itlS, August 22. The cruiser Gassard has started for Constantinople, and a division is ready to follow.
