Constantinople, via Sophia, Bulga-
ria, Sept. 15.-Copyrighted by Associa-
ted Press. administrators Of the powers
held a meeting today in order to lay
out a plan for measures for protection
Of the different ambassadors and for
eign population generally, in the event
of a renewal of the disturbances here.
The plan it is understood is to in
clude the united action of the warships
of all powers, each ship being assigned
a certain position, and the men to be
landed at a given signal, to protect
threatened points. Defenses of the
embassies will also, it is rumored, be
considerably strengthened, by an in
crease in the number of men now
guarding them, and by other precau-
tions which will tend to make them ca
pable of resisting an attack for a con-
siderable length of time. 1t is also re-
ported that in possible contingencies
a number of additional warships of the
powers will reinforce the guardships
now doing duty in these waters.
