cording to advices received here from
Constantinople there seems no doubt
that the report Of the discovery o. d
plot against the Porte. reported on
Monday evening, is correct. Three
Nussulrnans are said to have been ar
rested at Stambulof in connection with
it, and in addition several houses have
been searched and quantity OF arms
seized. Considerable alarm is said to
exist at Yudiz Kiosk in consequen':e
of the fact that the Albanian guards re-
fuse to do duty there any longer. 1t is
supposed the guards were suborned by
Mussulmans and there seems little
doubt that eight soldiers were executed
and twenty four others sent to different
prisons.

against the rule Of the Sultan is becorl-
ing so marked that important events
are expected TO take place shortly.
a fusion of the MUssulmans and Ar
menian committees is believed 10 be
imminent, and it is said upon Sood au-
thority that a joint revolutionary mani
festo is shortly to be issued. The
Turkish Government is aware of the
serious aspect of affairs, and it IS cyl
dent that desperate efforts are being
made at ConStantinople to raise money
to provide for calling out the army re-
