 The authorities are awaiting the ar- rival of fresh Antolian troops. although 1t ie feared that the commencement of operations will be the signal for a general revolt in the army, as many officers with the new battaiions from Antoiian, sympathize with the movs- ment.

They adhere to the Young TuFkish ideas and favor the re- establishment of the Constitution of 1876 Shuhri Pasha, who was sent to Uslsub. to tranquilize the army. has failed fin his effort and is returning to Constantinople.
