RETICENCE OF CABINET MINISTERS The members of the Cabinet feel disin: clined to communicate to the press how the Cabinet revards the situation.

It can be stated, howev defiltely, that at no time since the troub! as the P: ident entertained a convening Congress in special session. as has been alleged in some of the public priuts.

It is known that Col.

The article concludes as follows. he way to Constantinople ts from being open, and might even josed with a wrench.
