BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Constantinople, Sept. o.-Consular ac-
counts received here from Beirut differ
from the Turkish government versions OF
the recent outbreak there
The vail of Beirut was not on board the
United States flagship Brooklyn when the
first brawl occurred, but was in the
country.
Contrary to the official version, the dis
patches say the Mussulmans first attacked
the Christians and the troops which in
tervened sided with the Mussulmans. One
of the plaged houses belonged to
French citizen.
Though there has been no further dis
turbance at Beirut since Sunday, great un-
easiness, amounting almost to panic,
prevails among the Christians, many of
whom have left Beirut and sought refuge
in Lebanon.
To Make Representations.
The foreign consuls at Beirut met Mon
day and decided to make serious represen-
tations to the local authorities looking to
the preservation of order.
They also decided to telegraph to their
respective ambassadors or ministers at
Constantinople demanding the recall of the
incompetent vail Of Beirut, and requesting
that warships be sent for the protection
of the Europeans.
Nazim Pasha, vail Of Syria, was ordered
from Damascus to Beirut, where he ar
rived yesterday.
The porte announces that Nazm Pasha
was sent to Beirut with two battalons of
troops to take temporary charge of affairs
there.
The vail of Beirut it is also announced,
has not been deprived of his authority, but
he will probably remain inactive at his
post during the stay of Nazim Pasha at
Beirut"

Another Christian Is Killed in Beirut, and

Join Hands.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Paris, Sept. o.-The following telegram
has been received from Cairo, Egypt:
'Disquieting rumors are current in re-
gard to the situation in Smyrna. Bedouins
arriving here from the Arsh desert say
the Druzs are in arms and fears are ell
tertained of massacre in Lebanon"
Official reports from Beirut show the
growing gravity Of the situation there.
Another Christian Slain.
Another Christian was killed yesterday;
the Turkish soldiers are making common
cause with the Mussulmans during the at
tack on Christians number of houses
have been pilaged one French shop was
completely destroyed, and the French resi-
dents, becoming terrified at these depre
dations, have abandoned their homes and
sought refuge at the French college, where
between 400 and 500 refugees are now
gathered.
The American naval commander, it is
asserted in the dispatches received here,
proposed to land marines at Beirut, but
the foreign consuls believed the step in
advisable at this time, as it might lead to
an increase to the excitement prevailing
and cause a crisis.
Weak and incompetent.
The vail Of Beirut proved himself to be
weak and incompetent to deal with the sit
uation and therefore Nazim Pasha, the
vail Of Syria, was ordered to assume the
direction of affairs in Beirut.
Nazim Pasha, who has already arrived
at his new post, is displaying great energy.
The consuls express the hope that he will
be able to stem the disorder.
The nearest French warship to Beirut is
in the gulf OF Volo, Greece, but unless
Nazim Pasha speedily restores order and
completely safeguard French citizens
France will act decisively by dispatching
warships from Touon.
