AFRAID OF las own GUNS.
Why the sultan of Turkey Does Not Wan

Why the Sultan of Turkey Does Not Want
Navy.
The incident which led to the order
for the extinction of the Turkish navy
was as follows, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. A transport was bringing a
number of time-expired men home,
when they respectfully mutinied, and
begged their officers to go below, as
they wished to do something which
might not be approved of. Some non
commissioned officers then took COM
mand, and anchored off the palace, and,
after firing a salute, began shouting:
Long live the sultan!"
This demonstration caused immedi-
ate confusion at the palace, and various
high officers were dispatched to parley
with the mutineers, but they insisted
on seeing the minister, and when he at
last appeared they said they knew the
sultan had given the money to pay
them, but they had not received it, and
they would not bulge until they did.
No arguments were of any avail, and
the money had to be sent for and dis
tributed, after which the men weighed
anchor with cheer, and gave up the
ship again. The sultan, however, re-
fected that what a transport had done
peaceably a heavily-armed man-of-waz
might do with evil intent, and, calling
Hassan Pasha to him, he declared that
he wanted no more navy.
