FOR CONTROL.
Bone of Contention in Arme-
nian Reform Scheme.


CoNsTANTrNoPLE, June 5.-Ths porte
yesterday handed tho reply of the Turkish
government to the joint proposals in re-
gard to Armenia made by France, Eng.
land and Russia to the representatives OF
those governments in Constantinople.
The contents of the document arc kept
secret, but IL has transpired that the reply
Is unsatisfactory to the protesting govern
ments, Turkey objecting TO their proposed
control Of Armenia.
Despite the statement of the porte that
the presence Of the IL British warships at
Beyrout has no significance, ii is yet quite
possible that England anticipated the re-
lection of the Armenian proposals and in
tended the squadron as threat TO the sui
tan. According to the above dispatch he

Regulations For Tax Collecting.
The boundaries of subordinate districts
arc SO 10 be adjusted as to group together
people OF the same faith as far as possible.
The taxes are not TO be collected by sol
diers or treasury agents, but are TO be col.
lected by municipal agents in accordance
with general rate determined by the pro-
vincial council
Each communal treasury shall retain
what Is needed for local expenses and send
the remainder to the district treasury; 10
shall In like manner send its surplus to
tho department treasury; IL in turn to the
provincial treasury; and 10, finally, TO
Constantinople. In every particular this
tax system will be the exact reverse Of
that now In force In judicial matters re-
forms are equally sweeping.
The whole court system Is to be reor-
ganised. Arrests are TO be made only on
due warrant, and prompt trial must
follow, with immediate release in case of
acquittal Judges arc to be Mohammedan
and Christian In proportion to the popula.
ton, and so are the police to be. The
Kurds are no longer to bear arms, except
In tame OF drill and review and In actual

Finally, to see that these reforms are ex.

The Punishment Melted Out For the Shoot.
ing Of General DO Rivera.
MADRID, June 5.-Prtma dc Rivera
captain general of Madrid, who was shot
by Captain Clavijo, is better.
The trial of Clavijo by court-martial oc.
Cured yesterday In his defense Clavijo
stated that he was driven to commit the
deed by persecution to which he had been
subjected by De Rivera. He declared that
the general acted under the influence Of q
demimonde who had a grudge against
him, and the general, he further asserted,
had caused his pay to be withheld, with
the result that he became distressed fnan-
cially.
Upon the conclusion Of Clavijo's state.
ment, the judge advocate demanded that
the sentence OF death be imposed upon the
captain.
Clavijo's counsel, on the ground that tho
captain was not on military duty when he
attacked the captain general, and also that
ne had been twice submitted to medical
supervision ON the suspicion that his mind
was deranged, eloquently appealed for
mercy for the prisoner. He reminded the
court Of his brilliant military career.
notwithstanding the appeal of counsel
the court pronounced the prisoner guilty
and sentenced him to death. He was shot
at o'clock this morning.
