THE HAGUE. June 23-Gen. Abdullah Pasha
the Turkish delegate to the Peace Conference
who took upon his own shoulders the quarrel
which Turkhan Pasha. the head ofthe Turkish
delegation. had yesterday with Ahmed Ria
Bey, the leader OF the Young Turks. sent a
challenge to-day to Ahmed couched in the
most insolent terms. In reply Ahmed said that
he was prepared to fight a gentleman. but not
a footman OF the Sultan. Ahmed will leave
The Hague tomorrow.
Amneg hian. the Armenian who is working
here to advance the interests Of the Young
Turk party. announces that he has accepted
the challenge to fight a duel with Turkhan
Pasha
The Turkish troubles here are causing di-
body except the principals. Baron de Staa.
President OF the conference. and DR.. de Beau
fort Vice President. have visited Turkhan
Pasha and 1t Ia probable that they politely adj
vised him not to make an exhibition OF him
self.
1t Is stated that Turkhan is greatly ex-
cited against Ahmed Ria Bey. He has de-
clared that all the perfumes of Arabia could
not hide the latter's moral stencil Turkhan
doubtless feels that it is necessary for him to
make n good impression on the Sultan. who
once exiled him from Constantinople.
As a result Of yesterdays sparring match be-
tween Turkhan Pasha and Nourri Bey tho
Secretary of the Turkish delegation. the latter
has left the Embassy in high dudReon and

Although the friends OF Rlcnard Croker in

natural that he should be anxious to see some

That Mr. Cookers return to this country
would be hastensd by politlal affairs was
warmly denied. Tammany leaders say that
there Is no more discomfort within the or

say that out OF all district fights there are only
three that amount to anything. These. they
say are in the Ninth district. where Council

that the present force in the quarantine camp
would be useless in case OF trouble. Many
Cubans are anxious to enlist. Some American
officers think that Cubans properly Differed by
Americans would make a good fighting force.
The Spaniards and other foreigners and tho
wealthy Cubans place little reliance on Cuban
