LONDON, May 12.-The correspondent
Of the Times telegraphs from COnstsnti-
| n0pie that panic prevails there. The
lower classes Of Mohammedans are puc-
chasing daggers and revolveIs with
money supplied by persons who are
plotting the overthrow of the Sultan aud
the government and the mass lcre and
pluu iering Of christians. The mob in
suit and threaten the Greeks and At
menians, bidding them to prepare for
death. Travellers are lesving en- nl0sse;
their families. The presence Of Euro
pean squsdrons and the organization of
the volunteer European militia can
alone alIay the alarm. The Bulgarian
insurrection is extending, disorders are
apprehended at Rustchak.
LONDON, May IA special dispatch
from Athens to the Times says that o
vessel arrived from Salonica bringing
the news that the American consul was
not at SaloDica at the time of the muir
d9rs. The christians took his carriage,
which chanced to te at the railway sUa-
ton, put the girl in it, aud drove her to
the consulate. The provincial consul
and the mob met in the mosque. The
governor was present when the consuls
were murdered, hut he merely protested
and treated the matter lightly. The
Turks Gefiled past the corpses and spat
on them. The bOdy f the French con-
sui had thirty-four wounds.
LONDON, Efsy 12.-The IfnaeS's Wen
ma dispatch says Russia has proposed
that the powers send delegates to Tur-
key to superintend the execution Of re-
forms, and in order to show due respect
70 the Ottoman sovereignty, that the
sultan be allowed to appoint the dele
gates from list Of persons proposed by
the powers. 1t is said Count Andrassy
is not averse to mixed Turkish and |
European commission. The IGn1eS'S
Berlin special says sdvices from st. Pc
tersburg represent that Prussia con-
templates by means Of the |
above commission to carry cut |
something like the einsuTgent propositions |
of reform with the assistance Of |
Austrian or italian troops, or q COM |
bined force CT Austrians and Italians. |
Germany is pretty sure to consent to |
any arrangement that may be agreed |
upon by Russia and Austria. Andrassy !
will probably not leave Berlin without |
{ effectiug compromise with GOrtschs- |
koff. The appointment Of new minister |
of war at ConstantinOpls will, it is ex-
pected, convince him OF the expediency |
Of an agreement.
