Serious Condition Prevails.

This was the first information received
here showing the really serious condition
prevailing a. Beirut. 1t caused much ap-
prehension in official quarters as being an
indication of the spread of the disorder in
the Turkish empire. The presence of the
United States cruisers Brooklyn and San
Francisco at Beirut is regarded as a for
tunate circumstance. 1t is expected that
a number of other foreign warships will
gather there.
The official reports further show that
Beirut Is one of three places which are
now centerS of great animation. Smyrna
which hitherto had been compare lively
quiet, Is on the of an outbreak Great
excitement prevails there. The authorities
are in constant fear of an outbreak but
fortunately they have been able thus far
to prevent an encounter between the Chris
fians and MuSsulmans

Disquieting Advices.

The Salonica advices are also again very
disQuieting. 1t is expected that a general
revolt throughout the province of Salonica
will occur next week. 1t Is the understand
ing among the foreign officials at Salonica
that general insurrection will shortly be
announced by the Macedonian committee.
in view of this expectation rigid police
measures have been taken by the vail. who
Is showing much energy. Reports from
Monastir say the insurrection in that dis
trict has been practically crushed by the
extreme measures taken by the Turkish
troops.

New Governor Of Panama.

The departure of Senator Obaldia, the
new governor. from Bogota to Panama
with Representative Farbrega gave rise. it
is supposed. to the report that banana
delegation had withdrawn fro. con-
gress. which was readily believed at the
time by the State Department.
The appointment of Governor Obaldia,
who is native of Panama. is regarded
here as showing the desire of the Bogota
government to conciliate public opinion on
the isthmus, and, If possible, bring the
state of Panama into closer relations with
the federal government.
