be a violation of the agreement.

CANADIAN CRUISERS.
Three Planned to Further Enlist
ment of Naval Recruits.


Toronto, April6 Raymond Prefon-
tame, Canadian minister of marine.
has before him scheme which involves
the appearance of three third-class cruz
sers in Canadian waters, one on the
British Columbia coast, the second at
Toronto, for the inland lakes, and the
third on the Atlantic coast. The APP
pearance of war vessels on the upper
lakes would seemingly be open to OBJ
lection under treaty, but against a
mere training ship the United States
could make no complaint, as they
themselves introduced vessels of this
class.
1t is said correspondence has been
presented to the Dominion authorities
and the state department at Washing
ton, through the British ambassador,
on the, subject. If this scheme goes
through it is thought there would be no
lack of recruits.

ALBANIAN REVOLT
RISING HAS CAUSED PANIC AMONG
CHRISTIANS.
Uprising L. Against the Enforce.
ment of the Reforms Demands
by the Powers--Heavy Reinforce.
ments of Turkish Troops Hava
Been Ordered to Subdue Rioters

Constantlnople, April 3.-Details Of
the disturbances in North Albania show
that the revolt which has broken ont
there against the reform scheme of tho
powers is very serious one. Several
thousand armed Albanians surrounded
the town of Vucsteen March 20 and
demanded the surrender of eleven Ser.
Wan gendarmes who had been enlisted
in accordance with the reform plans
The governor surrendered the Servi.
ans, who were bound and taken to Pris
tina after having been maItreated. A
number of the Servian inhabitants and
bands of Albanians later surrounded
Mitrovitsa, and serious fighting ensued
with the Turkish garrison, consisting
of 1000 troops. The fighting continued
until March 80, when the Albanians
were finally repulsed with great loss
Heavy reinforcements have been or.
dered from the villayet of Aedin, Asia
Minor, and other places, to the scene
of the outbreak in order to suppress the
rebellion.
The Albanian rising has caused
panic among the Christians, who are
fleeing towards Servia.
A panic has occurred at Prilep in con-
sequence Of the growing fanaticism of
Albanians against the Christians. The
latter have closed their shops and
schools and are preparing to seek refuge
at Monastir. Numbers of Christians
have been murdered in the Prilep dis.
trict during the last few days.
Considerable apprehension is felt at
the Russian embassy for the safety of
the Russian consul at Mitrovitsa.
The outbreak has caused a great i'm.
preston at the palace. The sultan was
intensely exercised, and measures were
taken to watch two Albanian battalions
belonging to the imperial guard on du.
ty at the Yildiz Kiosk in order to pre-
vent disorder at the palace.
The rebellion in Macedonia is consid.
cred here to have begun already and
the situation is expected to become
worse. The Albanian movement is re.
garded as specially dangerous because
the sultan will hardly dare to suppress
it, he being surrounded by Albanian
guards. 1t is therefore thought that
the reform plan will remain dead let
ter in old Servia. The report is con.
firmed that M. st. Cherbina, the Rus
sian consul at Mitrovitsa, was shot in
the back by Albanian soldiers. 1t is
estimated that there were 10000 AL
banians under arms, and general ris-
ing would be extremely serious.
1t is stated that the king of Greece
has abandoned his intended visit to
the court at Copenhagen on account Of
the threatening situation in the Bal
kans.
The grand vizier has called on the
Russian ambassador to express regret
for attacks on M. st. Cherbina, the
Russian consul general at Mitrovitsa.
The palace and foreign officials also
conveyed their regrets to the ambassa-
dor. The sultan's Albanian body
guard is jubilant over the attack on
Mitrovitsa.
