Yildiz palace. At sign of the
least disturbance, shop doors and
windows are shut and barred, and
residences are barricaded as though
for protection from the attack of an in
vading army. A serious panic occurred
yesterday caused by an apparently
trivial circumstance, which shows
clearly in what terror the inhabi-
tants exist. An Armenian living in
the Galata quarter was arrested, in
whose possession were a number of in
eliminating letters and a revolver.
Every body rushed into their houses
and the doors of shops and dwellings
were hastily barred, the people fear
ing a repetition of the looting and mas
sacreing. The panic spread to Pera
and similar scenes were enacted there.
1t was not until some hours after the
arrest was made that the fears of the

LAURADA AND THREE FRIENDS
The Former To BE Released---Orders To
Detain the Latter.


Washington, Sept. 16.-Acting Secre.
tary Hamlin has wired the collector OF
customs at Wilmington, Del, to re.
lease the detained steamer Laurada, il
in his Judgment the vessel is not en-.
gagged to violate the law. The
Lauradas master is under arrest,
charged with having recently been en-
gagged in filibustering expedition to
Cuba. The collector is, therefore,
further instructed to hold as witnesses
such of the Laurada's crew as may be
necessary to appear at the trial of the
Lauradas master, which is set for
next Saturday. The streamer Three
Friends, which was arrived at Fer
nandina, Fla, has been ordered de-
tanned until an investigation is made
as to whether she has not recently
been on a filibustering expedition.
Several weeks ago this vessel left Key
West, Fla, without having taken out
proper papers, it is alleged, and her
whereabouts since has been purely a
matter of conjecture. The treasury
officials will endeavor to have her mas
ter give an account of the ships move
ments since she left port and will exact
an agreement from her owners that she
will not hereafter engage in filibuster-
ing expeditions, as she is alleged to
have done on several occasions. There
is some doubt expressed as to the
power of the treasury department to
exact these conditions, and the whole
matter has been left to the collector at
Fernandina, Fla, who is acting under
the legal advice of United States Dis
trict Attorney Clark for the southern
district of Florida

Ambassadors at COnstantinOp1e Take
Measures To Protect Foreigners.
Constantinople, Sept. 16.-The am
bassadors of the powers at meeting
here yesterday afternoon mapped out
plan for measures to be taken for the
protection of the different embassies
and the foreign population generally
in the event of renewal of the dis
turbances here. The exact steps de-
termined upon were not divulged, but
they are understood to include the
united action of the guardships of
all the powers, each ship being as
signed to certain position and a GER
tain number of men to be landed at
given signal to protect certain points.
The defenSeS of the embassies will
also, it is rumored, be considerably
strengthened by an increase in the
number of men now guarding them
and by other precautions which will
tend to make them capable of resisting
attack for a considerable time. 1t is
also reported that, under certain Cir
cumstances, number of additional
warships will reinforce the guard3hips
now doing duty in these waters.

INDUSTRIAL REVIVAL

WORK FOR THOUSANDS OF MEN
Improvement Not Confined to Any One
Locality OF Even State---Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Illinois and New
Hampshire Represented.

Pittsburg, Sept. 16.-There appears
to be an industrial revival in progress,
If the number of iron mills, car shops
and wooden and cotton mills resumi1Ig
operations can be taken as an indica
ton. The resumption of work is not
confined to any one locality, but e&-
tends to various parts of the country,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois and
New Hampshire being among those
states from which comes the good
news. Thousands of men have
either been put to work within
the last day or SO or they will have en-
ployment within a very short time.
The w. De Wees Wood iron mills at
McKeesport, Pa, have resumed opera
tions after a six weeks shutdown,
giving employment to 1900 men.
Other mills in that district have re-
sumed, including the National Tube
works. The Wilxesbarre 4 Eastern
Railroad company's car shops are now
working on full time. The Arlington
cotton mills at Wilmington, Del, have
resumed after a suspension of two
months. At Johnstown, Pa, the Cam.
bria Iron works have resumed opera
tions, giving employment to 5000 men
The rolling mills of the Hollidaysburg
Iron and Nail company at Holidays
burg, this state, which have been shut
down since June 1, have also resumed

Fall River Mass. Sept 16.-Only
twelve mills are now closed here.
These are included under eleven corpo-

running, the largest number since the
first part of July. Within the past few
days the feeling has become very strong
here that no mills will remain closed
much longer. This much has been
settled beyond dispute-there will
be no further united curtailment
this year by New England mills.
Advices received here are to the effect
that the mills of Rhode Island, New
Hampshire, Maine and Connecticut are
starting up again. 1t is reasonably
certain that some of them will not be
closed until after the holidays 1t is
reported in mill circles this morning
that all the Knights mills in Rhode
Island will continue running full time
until the holidays at least. Similar
reports about the northeastern Con-
necticut mills are heard.
