Novelty In the Way of q Driebund Pro
which Finds Many Reasons Why Such
Plan Ought to Work-The Situation
at Constantinople-The Bancroft Sails
The Dynamiters and the sullivan Story
Cuban and Other Foreign News.
London, Sept. 1.-THE ST. James Ga
zette publishes a leading editorial arti-
Gle headed "a New Triple Alliance" In
the course of its remarks on the sub
| ject the st. James Gazette points out
the menacing tone Of the semi-official
press on the subject of Turkey, and
says:
eve are openly threatened with joint,
hostile European action If We interfere
Gin Turkey against the will of the
powers. But there is one combination
which British craftsmanship might ef-
feet. Two states which have little to
gain from Russia could act with us and
end the tension. The United States
and Italy are both understood to be
friendly to Russia. Nevertheless, nei-
ther is yet too deeply involved TO be
able to assume an independent attitude
under British inspiration. Why should
not England, the United States and
Italy form new driebund?
alone of the nations of the earth, the
people of the United States can I'M
derstand the impulse which would drive
Englishmen to war in order to suppress
tyranny or rescue the oppressed. Plenty
Of men would regard with enthusiasm
the spectacle of the union Jack, and the
stars and stripes floating side by side
in the Bosphorus to back up their joint
demand
ITALY Is READY.
Continuing, the ST. James Gazette
points out that Italy is ready to join
England in this matter, if invited. The
article continues:
ut might be expected that the Rus
sian combination would go to pieces at
the mere aspect of this genuine league
OF peace, and a new driebund might
lead to fresh grouping of the powers
and the delivery of Europe both from
Turkish misrule and the dangerous
thraldom to Russia into which it is sink
ing"
A Constantinople dispatch to the
Times says that while the efforts Of
the powers to obtain a regulation to in
sure safety of the Armenians have thus
far proved failure, the arrests and de-
portattonS of those people is hurried ON
with redOubled fury. The apprehensive
state of the public mind in Constantine
pie, is shown by the frequent pa.nics, ac-
companied by the closing of shops, etc.
BLUE JACKETS PREFERRED.
Constantinople, Sept flowing to
the Turkish governments communica-
ton to the embassies of the powers III
regard to rumorS of an alarming out
break here, the embassies have deputed
the foreign conSuls to authorize the
police to enter houses when necessary
and arrest ArmenianS throwing bombs
or shooting t9lerefrom-
The offer of the Turkish government
to furnish the embassies with guards
has been declined, the foreign officials
preferring to rely upon the guards of
blue facets from the warships of the
powers.
Since the issuing OF the Hylchakist
circular 5000 Arenians have been ar
rested and the excuse of Armenians
continues. The Turkish officials declare
that they have discovered a quantity
of bombs and dynamite in the Halid-
JSgIiou quarter. It is feared in high
quarters that a Mussulman movement
is afoa't against the sultan and mill
tary measures on an extensive scale
have been adopted.
Berlin, Sept. ia dispatch to the
frankfort Zeitung from Constanti-
nople, published today, says that the
guard of the Turkish troop on duty at
the YildiZ palace, composed of four
II n 1floy 7f-oy 81 LII
disarmed last evening by large body
of troops and were replaced by five
Serasir battalions.
A further report, says the Frankfurt
er Zeftung's advices is that $500 persons
were killed during the disawning of the
Albanian guards of the Yildiz palace. |
Advices received direct from Constan-
tinOpie by the Associated Press up 10 |
last evening show that no disturbances
of any sort had occurred up TO that |
time.
BANCROFT SAILS.
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE Bancroft |

will touch at Fayal, Azoes, to take on |
a supply of coal AT the navy depart |
ment it is said her orders simply are |
to report TO Admiral Selfridge at Glib |
raltar. 1t is neither admitted nor de- |
MED that the Bancroft is going to Con- |
but it is not doubted that |
it is intended to take her there to serve |
simply as a refuge for American citi- |
zens in case Of an outbreak that might |
jeapordize their safety.
THE DYNAMITERS.
London, Sept. 16.-The greatest acti-
witty is still displayed at Scotland Yard |
