I attacn a statement of Information whlcn he said he got
from tne two deserters. He may have seen deserters,
out he can't tell me anything to help me trace them, and
I donH believe a single word of the latter part of the
statement. My latest information from a good man whom
I sent In connection with the arms' traffic is that there
are 65 men In the fort and 40 earning their living In the

strengthening the hands of the pro-Turks by attracting
to them others, who, though not pro-Turk in local politics,
sympathise with the Turk now that he Is holding throe
Christian powers off Constantinople.
I only make the aoove suggestions In case It has
been definitely decided to remove the garrison, but I do
hot think they are doing any harm as they are, and any
steps taken against tnem would prematurely raise the whole
