REPORTS ON REBELLION.
Ambassador Leishman Tells State
Department of New Turkey.


In a mall report sent 20 the State De-
partment, John G. A. Leishman the
American Ambassador at CorstantinopIe.
tells Of improved conditions in Turkey.
The old First Army Corps which was
stationed at Constantinople has been dis
banded, the leaders Of the opposition
movement were being tried, and the gov
ernment had shown an intention 20 effect
q thorough reorganization at the capital
Abdul Hamid. the deposed sultan, is at
Saloniki with a small retinue. under
guard Most OF his former followers
have been arrested. At the Yildiz Kiosk
about 100000 were found IN cash and
negotiable securities. The ambassador
mentions a report that 5ewelry worth
several millions Of dollars was discovered
there.
The new government intends. according
to the ambassador. to restore order thor
oughly in the Asiatic provinces. as well
as In ConstantinOple, and battalions have
been dispatched 10 the Adana and Cilician
districts. A cOurt-martial. under .he presi-
dency Of Kenan PaSha, has been sent 20
these districts with orders 70 try all
offenders and be unsparing with the
guilty, irrespective Of their positions.

energy displayed by the Macedonian Off

The remarkable outbursts OF the mem
bers Of the German Naval League, pro-
posing the Increase Of the German navy
to dominate not only home waters. but
10 cruise in American waters as We'll
was the subject Of much comment among
prominent officials in Washington yes
terday.
Such a plan, II adopted by Germany.
would have the effect OF disturbing seri-
ously the amicable relations now existing
between the two countries. and any move
OF Germany TO maintain war ships. either
In American waters or in the Orient
would probably be regarded as an act OF
distrust. II not Of direct hostility.
Would BE an AnrOnt.
It is in these two regions that the in
terests OF the United States and OF Ger
many come into contact. From an aca-
demic point OF view, there IS no reason
why Germany should send ships 10 Amer
ican waters, so long as peace IS main
tained and the interests OF its citizens
have proper protection. In any other
event such a method OF stimulating trade

Latin-American countries could only be
regarded as en- affront from a diplomatic
point OF view.
1t is assumed by officials in touch with
the situation that the German government
VIII be slow TO resort 10 this maneuver.
particularly as the friendship Of the
United States IS the important unde-
termined factor in the problem OF the
balance Of power between England and
Germany
The maintenance Of German war ships
In the Orient would also probably II
regarded by the United States. as well
as by the other powers having an in
terest in the administrative reforms OF
the empire, as an attempt 10 exert undue
influence. Such a course Of action would
almost inevitably influence the United
States 70 line up with Great Britain.
So far. therefore. as the Utterances OF
the members OF the Naval League are
concerned. ii is believed that the govern
ment VIII consider the grave consequences
very seriously before adopting the sug-
gestions- At the same time, the import Of
the speeches, so far as il indicates the
hostile sentiment existing between the
two powers. is regarded as very great

large increase in the price Of meats
The bureau IS splendidly equipped for
