IL IL needless TO say thai the pacha did not release
me prisoners, according 10 promise. Probably even
O'Relily did not expect that he would But the re-
mainder Of the story can be soon told, The whole
party, greatly to the recf OF ReSchid Pacha, were
ordered on to Stamb0ul for trial. At stalnbou,
nowever was soon founa that trial would involve
great scandal It was decided. therefore, to hush
the matter up. and the Levant Journals were an.
entire party were released on the simple condition
that they should leave the country ana vi them

Such Is the story OF this abort.ye Syrian revolt
the lessons 10 teaches are obvious. In what other
country, pretending to the rank OF great Power,
could nlibuster hope to force the government into
a dishonorable cession OF its rgntsS And in what

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES LATIN RACE.
The great question, however, suggested by this
hasco Is undoubtedly the completely OF the French
government in O'Rcillys plans. Most people In
Syria and STEAMBOAT alike speak OF this as fact
which, though not susceptible OF legal proof
admits OF no moral doubt. That the
Emperor has long entertained some special
project about Syria IL matter OF noOriey, though,
owing to accidental circums ances, this question has
never since the settlement Of the Syrian massacrGs
been brought conspcuously forward. In consula! ed
and gifts and brDes the French spend S50oo0O in
Syria annually; and having travelled through Asatc
Turkey, from Dagdad TO AeppO can speak conf
IDENTITY as TO the political operations OF French agents
among the Eastern Christians IN Mesopotamia. In
this case OF O'Reilly where could the money come
from, unless from France? The story about the
"Engllsh capitalists Is evidently fabrication; mere
capitalists OF any country too selfish TO risk their
money In wild scheme for the benefit of Mustapha
Fail Pacha. And again. what power except France
IS strong enough ut the Porte to have q matter like
this hushed upS The "certaln diplomats, COM
promised must have been apparent irienis OF Tur-
key; II they had been the agents OF q hotoriou sly
hostile Power, Russia for instance, IL Is clear the
Porte would have made the matter as public as
possible, as 1t would increase the sympathy OF its
friends. But what Is the ultimate ann OF France in
regard to Syria? Who can tell Perhaps the same
brain that conceived the PROJECT of great Latin
empire IN Mexico may dream also OF establishing o
great christian Power IN Syria and Mesopotauiia.
Ii would be hard to decide which project is the
Widest; 1t would be harder still TO decide which
nave sunk lowest-the Latins, az u race, IN Mexico,
or the Eastern Christians "a religious community,
in Palestine ana Mesop0taGia.
