| Advices from Rio Janeiro, Brazil, say:
The Jacobin party is preparing to start
anew the anti-Italian agitation. 1t is
feared that the army will aid the turbu-
lent faction and that grave conflicts will
occur. 1t is rumored that revolution is
| being organized by the Jacobins and the
monarchist party and that the Italian
question will serve as base for an insur-

thorities are aware of the rumors, and are

the agitators from coming to head.

fishes dispatch from Constantinople say
ing that the Young Turk party is cover
ing the city with placards melting the
people to dethrone the Sultan. Serious
trouble, it is added, is certain to occur
within n week. Old Turkish troopships
are nightly deporting Armenians to the
Black Sea, where, it is believed, they are
drowned. The British residents, at the

telegraphed to Lord Salisbury stating that
their lives and property are in danger.
The French residents have taken similar
action. British and French fleets arc
now near the mouth of the Dardanelles.
Fuad Pasha, one of the Sultan's aides-de-
camp, was questioned as to how long the
forts along the Dardanelles could check
the passage of warships, and he replied
that they could stop them for almost half
an hour.

the same steamers and demands that the
United Kingdom shall be put on the sama
level as the United States.
