An item dated Constantinople 16 October referred to a statement of Tasviri Efkear that the former British commander in chief of the Turkish navy admiral Arthur Henry Limpus B.C. now serving in the Russian Black Sea Fleet. This new appointment was not well accepted by Turkey and disturbed the relations with England.(1)
