THE SUBLIME PORTE ENTERS PROTEST
Has Appealed to Russia and France to Intervene to Prevent Com-
plete Absorption of Egypt
It Is Not Believed It Will Avail as Armed Intervention is the Only Thing to
Stop Great Britains Proposed Campaign in tho Soudan Con-
sidered a Reply to tho TurkoRussian Alliance
Ccnttanttncple March As a result of the extraordinary cabinet council which lasted throtighoue Saturday tho
TurklfhROvernment has I sued an appeal to Franco and Iltiastn aaklnK them to intervene with tho object of roKulattnK
th affair cf Kirypt Germany also Is requested by tho porto to cxcrclso her Kood offices In this sense Instructions
also wot dispatched to the Turkish ambassador at London to make representations to the Marquis of Salisbury but
their tenor Is not known
In well informed circles It Is declared the action ot tho porto Is duo to the councils of franco nnd Jtussla tho bov
eranveiu ot which countries It Is claimed have submitted that the present Is nn opportuno moment for Turkey to ralso
the question ot her suteralnty over Kirypt being practically usurped by Great llrllaln
Ths government syndicate It Is alte ed promised Turkey their support fn tho matter There Is no doubt that con-
siderable annoyance Is felt by the porte at the fact that Turkey was not consulted In regard to tho advisability ot
dtspatchlnc tho BrttlshKfrypUan expedition up the river Nile and tho fccllns of Irritation has been Increased by tho
khedive also IgnortriR the porto entirely Ilcprtwiches have In consequence been addressed to the Ottoman commis-
sioners ln Keypt for not taking steps to provent tho orsanlzatlon of tho expedition as It Is feared tho advance up tho
river will be felt elsewhere than on the frontiers of Kirypt and that the Arabs ot Vernon tho principal division ot
Arabia adjacent to the Strait of Habel Mandeb may be encouraged to fresh hostilities by the Turkish authorities
In diplomatic circles here It Is believed tho steps taken by tho porte to protest against thn epedltlon to Dongola
will not have more thajt moral effect and thovgh It Is admitted that Franco and Ilussla will refuse their consent to
the use of the Egyptian rrservo fund It Is generally understood that nothing short of tho armed lntcrfetcnco of theso
two nations will prevent Great Britain from pushing tho Soudan campaign
