ROSEBERT ON THE VAR.
Blames Cabinet, and 1dUocates
Change IN Control of Army.

London Sept. u.-Lord Rosebery In answer
10 a correspondent, has written long letter on
the subject of the recent report of the COM
mission Of inquiry i2to the South African War.
He vigorously condemns the Cabinet respon-
sible for the disasters and the mismanag cement
of the war. and advocates a change in the mill
tary control Of Great Britain, requesting the
King TO ntrust the entire management of the
War Office to Lord Kitchener, with the fullest
authority to reorganize the present system.
The earl points out that outside her fleet Great
Britain does not possess the minimum of ma
uonal security. He continues:
With Lord Elgin's report in their hands. for
eign statesmen may commit the mistake OF
holding Great Britain cheap. This in itself is
a danger, for it means increased risk of war.
Lord Rosebery's severe indictment of the gov
eminent meets with a great deal Of sympathy
in the press. but his remedy. although he no
longer proposes that Lord Kitchener should be-
come Cabinet Minister IS on almost all sides
regarded as impossible. The editorials in the
newspapers emphasize the political difficulties
in the way Of carrying out Lord Rosebery's sug-
gestion. TO say nothing Of the question Of super
seding Lord Roberts.

BEIRUTvS NEW GOVERNOR.
appointment of Nazim Beg Pleases
the State Department.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Admiral Cotton has In
formed the Navy Department that the Governor
General Of Dana SOUS has been appointed acting
Governor Of Beirut. and has expressed desire
to settle the case OF the American vice-Consul
satisfactorily to the United States Government.
Beirut is quiet. business is improving and conf
Gence increasing.
The State Department has authentic advices
that Governor General Maxim. Of Damascus. who
has been appointed acting Governor OF Beirut. is
trustworthy and broad minded man. and Min
lister Leishman has been instructed TO advise the
Porte that the Washington Government is
greatly pleased at the immediate granting of its
request for the removal Of the Governor Of
Beirut and the appointment of a responsible per-
son and one favorable TO foreigners A long dis
patch. which has not been made public. reached
the State Department to-day from Minister
Leishman on the general Turkish situation. The
prestige Of Mr.. Leishman at ConstantinOple has
greatly increased since the arrival of the Euro
team squadron off Beirut and the scope Of his
representations TO the Porte has also increased
in the last few days II is understood that this
government will push all fits pending claims
against Turkey to an early conclusion.
Chekib Bey the Turkish Minister. was early
caller at the State Department to-day. He
brought the further reassuring advices that "a
condition Of absolute peace has been established
at Beirut
The minister received over night dispatch
from his Foreign Office confirming the news Of
disturbances at Beirut and stating that eight
were killed and about fifteen wounded OF the
killed four. il is said. we're Christians The
dispatch said that the disturbance had no other
bad results and that condition of perfect calm
has been established" IL also said that the
reports sent out by some Of the foreign consuls
az Beirut who got their information from ex-
cited persons had been greatly exaggerated II
also confirmed the news Of the appointment as
Acting Governor Of Beirut Of the Governor Gen
eral of Damascus.
II know the Governor General Of Damascus.
said Chekib Bey. "and I am sure he will prove
a power for good at Beirut. He is admirable
character. popular with foreigners. and will
handle the situation at Beirut with a firm hand
He is respected throughout Turkey"
The United States Government would welcome
the elevation Of the Turkish Minister to the rank
of ambassador This would enable Minister
Leishman to obtain audiences with the Sultan
direct. instead Of having TO deal with the Turk
ish Foreign Office. which has resulted in long
delays in consideration OF his representations.
This government some years ago took UP the
matter with the Porte. but the finances OF the
S,Iltan's government were not such TO permit
raising the legation at Washington to an en-
bassy.

CATALOGUE OF HORRORS GROWS.
Another Long List of Villages Burned and
Massacres Committed.

Sofia, Sept. 11.-Furtrer details of the villages
burned and massacres committed in the vilayet
OF Monastir have reached here from reliable
sources at Salonica. The names are given Of
thirty-four villages in the kaza OF Okrida which
have been burned by the Turks. At Velgoshti,
near Ortakol. twelve men and women persisted
in the flames. Sixty peasants were killed in this
neighborhood. most OF the bodies being left I'M
buried. Nine villages and a large forest area
have been burned in the kaza OF Resen. At
Podmochani and Pokovenik many women and
children were killed.
In the kaza Of Prespa the soldiers surrounded
a forest in which the women and children from
the villages of Louboino and Bratichino were
concealed. They violated the women and put
many Of them to death. The monastery Of St.
Colin in the kaza OF Wales has been plundered.
The town of Klissura is filed with refugees
from the burned villages in the district, includ-
ing many wounded women from the neighbor-
hood of Klissura and Neveska.
The large number OF bodies lying unburied
and decomposing has caused an epidemic anon &
the Turkish troops. from which many have died.
kilograms from Budapest announce that the
Austrian Government has stopped the transport
of 100000 Mannlicher cartridges which Bull
garia contracted for in Hungary. II appears
that the cartridge firm was unable to complete
the order in the specified time and borrowed
the cartridges from the government magazines.
The insurrection in Eastern Macedonia is pro-
crossing slowly. General Zontcheff has been
engaged in three skrmishes with the Turks in
the district OF Djoumaia. The insurgents fought
band of bashibazouks between Popadi and
Vartisch. in the district of Eeles. The bashi-
bazouks lost eighty killed. Next day the regu-
lar troops pursued the insurgents into forest,
but fell into ambuscade. in which many Of
them persisted.
The Turkish artillery has utterly destroyed the
village Of Dobrovani. Monastir 'Vilayet. Many
of the inha bitants were killed.

TURKEY COMING TO TERMS.
All Mr. Leichman's Demands Likely To Be

ConstantinOple. Sept 1.-THE release OF Alb
dull Kader. a natUralized citizen Of the United
States. from Imprisonment at TripOli. Syria. and
the dismissal of Reshid Pachs. 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 to the
confidence inspired by Nazim Pacha. the vail Of
Syria who has succeeded Reshid Pacha- Ru-
rnors Of fresh Outrages continue to reach Con-
stantinople. but these are deliberately spread

the present situation at Beirut was provoked by

SHIPS READY AT T0UL0N.
Il SQUADRON FOR LEVANT.
France Fears Massacre IN the
Sultan,s Capital.

Paris. Sept. 1.-THE commander OF the French
Mediterranean Squadron at Toulon has received
orders 70 hold in readiness to start for the
Levant a naval division consisting OF the battle
ship Brennus. the armored cruiser Latouche-
Treville, the second class cruiser Du Chayla.
and the third class cruiser Linois. under the
command of Admiral Jaurt guiberry.
Reports received by the Foreign Office here
from Constantinople say there is renewed agi-
tation among the Mussulmans within the city
and fears expressed of a possible SfussuIman
attack on the Christian population. This agita-
ticn followed the appearance IN the Turkish
papers of accounts of the Bulxarians blowing
up trains and the steamer VaskaTu. The gov
eminent considered that official sanction OF the
publication of the news was the best means
to avoid exaggerated stories Of the explosions.
AS the Porte had vigorously suppressed any men
ton Of explosions for the last twenty years. the
recent publications caused widespread agitation.
The official report says the Mussulmans are
eager TO avenge the outrages. and states that
the feeling is so intense that II he Bulgarians
commit any further destruction The Mussulrnans
are likely 10 take redress by attacking the Chris
tian population. Earnest representations OF the
subject have been made to the Porte which has
given assurances that all precautions WI, be
taken, and has reiterated is conf ience thot II
will be able to control the situation.
Orders to have a naval division ready to sail
for the Levant are the result of the recon-
mendatiOns of the French Ambassador at Con-
stantinople. These recommendations were made
during the excitement at ConstantinOple week
ago. but the authorities here did not wish to
take decisive steps. The Beirut incident led TO
the decision on September that French ships
should be sent to Beirut unless Nazim Pacha.
the acting Vail at Beirut succeeded in estab-
fishing security.
The Foreign Office is without further infor-
nation from Beirut. and concludes that the
crisis has passed The danger OF the Christian
population Of Constantinople FASTENED the issu-
ance Of the order 10 the warships- A number
OF the officers and men being leave OF alb
sence. the ships of the division preparing to sail
have secured full compliments by drafting from
other ships.
It is semi-of1cially stated that the French
naval division will also operate at Salonica and
other points. for the protection OF French resi-
dents in Macedonia.

Japan Not Pleased 1cith Russian
Conditions of Evacuation.

London. Sept. 1.-THE British Foreign Office
has received official confirmation of The Lon
don Times dispatch from Peking. published on
September 10. saying that the Russian Minister
at the Chinese capital had added two fresh con-
ditions Of the evacuation Of the ManChurian
provinces on October 8. This materially changes
the optimistic view of the Far Eastern situa-
ton, which the japanese based upon the first
reports Of the Russian note. II is learned that
Japan has advised all her representatives abroad
of the details of the Russian demands. which
she now evidently CONSTITUTES determination
on the part of Russia TO maintain her grasp on
Manchuria-
viscount Hayashi. the Japanese Minister here
has not been instructed as to the attitude which
the authorities at Toxic will adopt. but it is
said that Russia requires China to signify her
acceptance of all her demands a condition
TO the evacuation of Manchuria, and that she
has made no move to withdraw from Manchuria.
though she has pledged her word TO complete
the evacuation by October S.
1t is believed here that Japan relies on the
United States TO join her in making urgent rep
reservations TO induce the Russian withdrawal
without conditions which. 1t Is repeated, were
not suggested when the promise to retire was
made.
According TO the dispatches TO The London
Times from Picking September 9 and TO- the

Bank in Manchuria shall be guarded by Chinese

II the above conditions were agreed TO. New
Chwang and Moukden provinces were to be evacu-
ated on October S. and the remaining provinces in
due course OF time.
The additional conditions imposed by Russia, &C
