TAKEN FOR SMUGGLERS.
TURKISH OFFICIAL VERSION. EXPRESSION OF DEEPEST REGRET. (Received Tuesday, 8.5 p.m.) CONSTANTINOPLE; July 16. The Turkish official version of the shooting, received by wireless, is that a Customs officer saw three men, after bathing, return to a sailing boat. The officer signalled them to halt, but no notice was taken. Even when he fired a warning shot over the boat it continued. He therefore fired at the l occupants, thinking they were smugglers. The Government expresses the deepest regret.
