.RECAPTURED BY TURKS.
Town on the Black Sea Taken from
Insurgents with Aid Of Cannon.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. I.-An on
cial dispatch received here announces that
the imperial troops recaptured Vasiliko.
on the Black sea. on Sunday last. after
the insurgent force occupying the place
had been attacked by 1000 Turkish troops
with two cannon.
The release of Abdul Kader, the natural
lied citizen of the United States. from inn
prisonment at Tripoli. Syria, and the dis
missal of Reshid Pasha, the vail of Beirut,
are taken to indicate that the granting OF
the other demands of Minister Leishman
will not be long delayed. The American
consul at Beirut reports that the situation
there is improving thanks 10 the conf
dence inspired by Maxim Pasha, who has
succeeded Reshid Pasha. Rumors of fresh
outrages continue to reach Constanttnople,
but these reports are deliberately spread
with the object of creating the impression
that the present situation at Beirut was
provoked by the arrival there of the United
States warships. AS matter of fact q
desperate state of affairs rs chronic at
Beirut Insecurity has prevailed there for
months, practically throughout Reshid
Pasha's tenure of office. The present grand
vizier six months ago asked the Sultan TO
remove Reshid Pasha, but the latter's sup
porters at the palace were too powerful.
Reshid Pasha is alleged to have n large
fortune by corrupt administration. He
owns extensive property in Cyprus.

CONFESSION OF A R0BBER.


PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. n.-Edward Or
pin has confessed to Chief of Police Hunt
that since last April he has committed high
way robbery seven times and has set fire to
at least as many buildings. His action in
setting fire to different buildings, he says.
has been prompted by no other motive than
desire TO see the buildings burn.
Dissatisfaction over the amount of booty
secured from +. C. Fletcher, one of his
victims, led to his arrest. He got only a
dime from Fletcher and several days later
was heard declaiming bitterly against men
who walk the streets with no larger sums
than 10 cents in their pockets. His talk
aroused the suspicion of one of his supposed
friends, who notified the police.
