§ MR. RYLANDSasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, with reference to his statement that Shefket Pasha, if he had not been arrested, was certainly under the surveillance of the authorities of Constantinople, Whether the information given by the "Times" correspondent is correct that Shefket Pasha has left Constantinople to take the command of an Army Corps on the Danube?
§ MR. BOURKEIn reply to the Question of the hon. Member, I have to state that a telegram on this subject has reached the Foreign Office, and it ap- 831 pears from the telegram that there is no truth whatever in the report referred to. Shefket Pasha has received no military command.
