London, Nov. 9.-The change of opinion
IN official circles regarding the immediate
outbreak of revolution or war in Turkey
E. -raceable to the expectation that the
Sultan designs to soothe the internal agi-
tat.au by promulgaung a new constitu-
tion embodying the leading principles or
1ulhat Pasha's scheme. Ohicial COM
muulcations point to this, but at the same
+fr,e the sultan's intention viii do no more
than put off the evil day.
The Spectator, which at present speaks
with a voice of greater authority than
any other English paper. holds that the
sultan cannot be trusted to effectively
grant a constitution. 1t says that the
solution of the situation lies in either the
powers occupying certain Turkish prov
fnces, or the deposition Of the sultan and
his replacement by a successor, pledged
10 reign consututionally.
The Spectator, in advocating that the
best solution of the question is a mill
tary occupation, sketches a rather sensa-
tional plan of operations through Bos-
MIA, which country gives the readiest ac-
cess to the heart of Turkey. Austria, II
says, could without delay throw a hun
drad thousand men into Macedonia, who
could march on 10 Salonica by an unde-
Tended line.
Great Britain's share in the work would
be commanding Salonica by the sea, and
jointly with France, sending fleets
through the straits of the Dardaneles
10 Constantnople, while Russia VIII CO.
operate in Armenia.
Though the carrying out of this plan
would be tantamOunt to the dismember-
ment of the Turkish empire, the Specta-
tor proceeds TO say that EurOpe's gigantic
ornaments could not be better employed
thaE IN restoring the east to the domain
or civilization. The work, il says, could
he accomplished within year, and
100000 of men would De finally delivered
from the destructive horde, which, since
1T came out of Mongolia, has ever proved
the most brutal influence in the civilized
world. The article concludes with the
declaration that the achievement would
be well worth a certain war, for to do the
Ottomans justice, they are capable of
facing the whole world in arms before
submitting. But it is the only chance.
When the leading unionist organ writes
thus II is evident that the time OF the
Turks in Europe is obviously closing.
The correspondent of the Pail Mall Ca
zette, in Rome, says that a council of
ministers has been held, which discussed
the probabilities of Italy acting in con-
cert with England in the matter of in
terYention in Turkey. The decision of the
council IS not yet known, but the minister
