Colonel Benson was wounded, but not severely. A relieving column will reach him this morning."

NO NEWS FROM FRENCH ADMIRAL Absence of News Is Not Surprising, As He Avoided Ports to Prevent His Movements Being Signaled. Powers Sending Vessels to Scene. Paris. Nov. I.—The officials of the French foreign office confirm the re port that a division ot the French Mediterranean fleet, composed of three battleships and two cruisers, under the command of Admiral Caillard. has proceeded from Toulon to the Levant, to make a naval demonstiation against Turkey. A foreign office official, in communi cating the foregoing to the corres pondents here, said: "The squadron sailed with scale ! orders, and proceeds first to a Greek port, the Island of Syra. 1 think, where the admiral will receive definite in structions as to carrying out his sealed orders. [ am not at liberty to say what the sealed orders are; but the seizure of the customs at Smyrna would probably be a very effective way of convincing the Saltan teat France's patience is exhausted, aril that we have decided to enforce an im mediate execution of the Turkish gov ernment's engagements. We, how ever, are very hopeful that the Sul lan will not compel us togo to that extreme." The official was asked what would happen if the French squadron was ordered to seize the customs and the Turkish authorities resisted, and he replied: "That is a very unlikely contingen cy, hut if it occurred I £ii;>po3d we should have to bombard the port. But we do not want bloodshed, and I do not believe there will be any occasion for It to occur." A despatch received from Constan tinople on Saturday said the Sultan had decided to pay the claims in -iis pute. and also to observe the various treaties between France and Turkey. On Sunday M. Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs, telegraphed M. Rapst, of the French embassy in Constan tinople. directing him to present to Tewfik Pasha, Ottoman minister of ioreign affairs, a note asking how the Turkish government proposes to pay the Lorando claim and demanding the execution of the Sultan's irade deal ing with that matter. The note will also require satisiac tion regarding the rights of France which are defined in the various capit ulations and treaties, and which in Borriv cases have not been res;.ected and In others have been encroached upon by Turkey. Admiral Caillard reached his des tination Sunday. The foreign office has received no news from him since his division left the other divisions of the Mediterranean squadron en route for Turkish waters four days ago. It Is pointed out that the absence of news is not surprising, as the instruc tions to Admiral Caillard were to steer due south and to avoid passing in sight oi Bcniiacio, Corsica, or tra versing the Strait of Messina, in nrler to prevent his movements hi in;; sig naled. Dispatches from Home assert that the saeond division of (he Italian Mediterranean f-quadron, wlich, as an nonnced on Saturday, left tor Turkish waters with the sappr>s 1 object o;' counterbalani ing ihe French navr.! demonstration, will join the first divi sion. which has been cruising in th • Eastern Mediterranean for some time. It appears also that the Greek war ships Psara, Hydra Spetsai and i . :• rotas are now at Smyrnia. where is also the Russian Mediterranean sqe.ad ron. It is believed that the !hitls\ squadron, now at Piraeus, Greece, wl', be ordered to proceed to L! irju . Syria. Fire Destroys a Packing Plant.
