THE FATALISTIc TURK
How He Braves Death at the Holy City
Of His Faith.

How He Braves Death at the Holy City
of His Faith.
The accounts given by the pilgrims
of the way in which cholera attacked
them are terrible in their grim fatal
ism, says the London Spectator. June
"a, two days before the Courban
Bairam, upward of one hundred thou
sand Mussulmans, Arabs, Turks and
Indians had gathered on the sacred
mount to hear the solemn address
which is delivered to those who wish
to become hadji. Many of these peo-
pie were in the most wretched con-
dition, and some had not even a loaf of
bread
1t was here that the disease appears
to have struck them, like the blast OF
a poisoned wind. When next day the
onward movement to the holy city be-
gan it was found that the ground was
strewn like battlefield with the dead
and dying, and SO terribly virulent was
the type of infection thus engendered
that it was, says the account, impos-
sible for any living creature to APP
proach the place.
The authorities seem, however, to
have realized that something must he
done, and that the bodies could not be
left to rot. Accordingly, Turkish
regiment was sent to perform the work
of burial and to remove any of the pill
grims who still lived. Never did troops
in the heat of battle receive a COM
mand more fraught with peril. The
risk. as it proved, was literally greater
than that of facing machine guns, and
the moral effect was far more terrible.
There are ten men who will face
death to one who will face death
by cholera. Yet these Turkish sol
diers, with the fatalistic courage of
their race, obeyed as they obeyed at
Plevna.
The battalion, when it reached the
mount, was seven hundred strong.
After the work had been done two
hundred men only remained to go back
to the coast. Five hundred of the sol
diers had died of cholera. That is,
nearly three-quarters of the regiment
persisted in the work of burial. No
doubt English troops would have been
upheld by many considerations-by re-
ligious feeling and by the instinct of
mercy, and they would. moreover,
have been well fed.
The Turkish troops probably felt the
sense of pity very little. and their Off
GERS We're almost certainly men with
anything but high sense of conduct.
They acted merely from the most
naked sense of the duty of not finch
ing at a command. 1t was an order
given from affair and from above. and
that and faith are to them all one.

president of that republic in 1890, had
dispute with the congress concerning
the sending Of delegates to San, Jose,
and he proclaimed himself dictator last
year. He is also accused of longing
to make himself head Of the new state.
At the time DR.. Roberto Sacaza I'M
dertook to govern Nicaragua few
years ago he was known to be very
favorable to the scheme of a consolida-
ton of Central American states. When
his authority was practically taken
away, several weeks since, the dele
gates from that little republic to the
convention at San Jose were not
chosen. Now, however, comes word
that the new congress of Nicaragua is
pledged to ratify the constitution un-
der the provisions Of which these re-.
publics will amalgamate. This fact
will have decided influence upon the
fortunes of Gen. Carlos Ezeta, San Sal
vador's president. He had never come
out in favor of the federative measure,
but his partisans say that should it be
passed he must be made ruler of the
Central American countries. Thus
there are already candidates for the
still uncreated presidency and their
clnshing arms are alleged to be the
only distractions in the way Of the
new constitution.
The latter is about what might be
expected from Central American
statesmen 1t provides for the newt

1t was partly on this account that
Gen. j. M. Reyna Barrios, president Of
Guatemala. not long ago proclaimed
himself dictator of his native land, dis!
missed the congress then in session and
ordered a new election immediately.
His ambition is declared to be the
chief magistracy of the new nation, an
ambition which DR.. Bonilla, elected
provisional president of Honduras last,
year, has done his best to thwart and
to which the new Honduran leader,
Gen. Vasquez. has never been friendly.

president of Honduras, with the Same
