Revolt Against Reform Scheme
of the Powers
Has Assumed a Serious Aspect
in Albania.
SULTAN IS WORRIED.
Russian Consul at MitrOyitza Is
in Danger.
Many Christians Murdered and
Panic Exists.
SULTAN is WORRIED

Constantinople, April "Details of the
disturbances in North Albania show
that the revolt which has broken out
there against the reform scheme of the
powers is a very serious one. Several
thousands armed Albanians surrounded
the town of Vucsteen, March %, and de-
manded the surrender of eleven Servian
gen d'armes who had been enlisted in
accordance with the reform plans. The
governor surrendered the Servians who
were bound and taken to Pristina after
having been maltreated. A number of
the Servian inha bitants and bands of
Albanians later surrounded Mitrovitza
and serious fighting ensued with the
Turkish garrison consisting of 5000
troops. The fighting continued until
March 30 when the Albanians finally
were repulsed with great loss. Heavy
achievements have been ordered from
the Nilayet of Alden, Asia Minor and
other places to the scene of the out
break in order TO suppress the rebellion.
The Albanian rising has caused a
panic among the Christians of Old Ser
via. who are fleeing toward Servia.
A panic has occurred at Prilep in con-
sequence of the growing fanaticism of
the Albanians against the Christians.
The latter have closed their shops and
schools and are preparing to seek
refuge at Nonastir. Numbers of Chris
tians have been murdered in the Prilep
district during the last few days.
Considerable apprehension is felt at
the Russian embassy for the safety OF
the Russian consul at AIitroVitza.
The outbreak has made great i'm
preston at the palace. The sultan was
intensely exercised and measures were
Immediately taken to watch the two
Albanian battalions belonging to the
Kiozk in order to prevent disorder at
the palace.

a promise made by the president to Wis

who seized the occasion of the doubt
which attends the fate of the Cuban
treaty, and FASTENED to the White
House to urge on the president the adj
visibility of his visiting Oxnard to in
spect the remarkable prosperity of the
new industry, the once almost ARID
lands converted into smiling farms by
irrigation and the cultivation of the
beet, and see for himself the benefits to
the farmers resulting from this branch
of agriculture.
It has long been the desire of Mr.. OK
nard to show this practical object les
son to the president, and he said to-
day: I am delighted to have the presi-
dent see what has been done in region
which five years ago was an absolute
waste"
Some time ago, when the Cuban re-
ciprocity bill was first proposed, Sec
rotary Wilson was most anxious to
have the president view the practical
workings of the sugar beet indus ~,
and he will share with Mr.. zCxnard the
qualification at having the president see
the prosperous condition and the bene-
fetal results of an industry of which he
has been called the father and has
bent the whole energy of his great sci
entific department to foster and assist.
