TURKEY EXPECTS TROUBLE.
The sultan Said to BE Preparing for

War.
Moscow. May 2O-A constant stream
of Russian Mussulman pilgrims, return
ing from Constantinpole is passing thru
this city. These Moslems say that the
porte is gradually organizing large
and efficient army on war footing and
that troops are being dispatched daily
to the principal frontier districts. The
sultan, they assert. anticipates trouble
with some of the European powers.
Washington. May 20.-Wellman's
Washington special TO Herald: Trouble
between the powers and Turkey is ex-
pected by diplomats residing at this
capital. Our government. not being di-
rectly involved In the imbroglio over
the foreign postofiices in Constantinople,
has very little information as to the
present status of the dispute. But thi.
representatives here of European gov
ernments say they should not be sur
prised If in the end the powers were to
find 1t necessary TO make 4 show OF
force In order to bring the sultan to
terms.
Whether or not 1t will be necessary to
send fleets thru the Dardanelles, as is
intimated in the cable dispatches, must
for the present be regarded as matter
of speculation. II such demonstration
he made the consequences may be much
more serious than any one now dreams
OF. as the hot-headed Turks in the forti-
fications along the banks may fire upon
the international ships and precipitate
real war where only coup re force As
intended.
Diplomats recall that the independ-
ence of Greece had its orig in in similar
episode. The fleets of Great Britain

ing about the Grecian Islands to afford
the inhabitants protection. Finding it
necessary to put into the port OF Ma
yarfio. they We're Unexpectedly fired up
on by the Turkish ships. The Turkish
fleet was utterly annhiated, and the
powers, to punish the Turks. set Greece
up as an independent nation.
The trouble about the foreign post
offices in Corstantinople is more serious
than 1t appears upon the surface. For
number of years most of the import
ant foreign governments have found 1t
necessary to maintain their own post
offices at CoDstantinople for the use of
their official representatives and citi-
Zens. Such offices are needed because of
the woeful inefiiciency and general un-
trustworthiness of the Turkish postal
system.
The United States once had its tsxn
postoftice in Constantlnople. but discon-
unued 1t when the SULTAN made one OF
his periodical pledges of good behavior
