Conflicting and Vague Reports

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 1.-THE
committee of union and progress has
given convincing proof of its power and
influence over the third army corps
Two military trains, each containing
500 infantry, arrived this morning from
Tochatalhe, about seventY-ivo miles
from the capital, and four other trains
are expected TO reach that point within
the next tweuty-four hours. Prepara-
tions also are being made at Salonlkl
for the dispatch of Il number of addl-
tlonal trains for Constautiuople.
After remaining short time at
Tochatalhe, the two trains continued on

of fortiiicalions AT Hademkoi, forty
miles from the capital which was aban-
dopcd during the niGht by artillery of
the garrison, The Sal. niki troops evi"
IDENTIFY are collecting at Spartakuleh.
where they should number not less
than 1000 by tomorrow. with reinforce
ments that are coming from Adriano-
pie.
Nearly Ready to Strike.
Within day or two the committee
will have between $1,000 and 10000
men within striking distance of Con-
stantiuople, where the mutinous garri-
son. having practically discarded its Of
ficcrs and all discipline, certainly will
not be able to offer resistance.
1t is believed that the Saloniki bat
tal;ous OF their arrival here will de-
mand the fufllmcnt of several copdl
tions. which the sultan and the new
government will find it impossible to re-
lect. The advance Of the soldiers has
greatly impressed the public and it is
expected tDaL some quick changes viii
be made among the government Off
cials
A sDecial commission composed of
two pashas. three ulemas and three dep
utics has been sent to Tochatalhe TO per
suade the troops that the constitution
is being maintained ana to explain also
the real mcoGing of the rising last Tues
day.
Young Turks Stubborn.
1t is rumUred that The commission
has not beer successful in impressing
the leaders II the young Turks. who
also rclccred the expiration OF fight
rs @ccountiDp for tha absence from the
dcputation Of he deputies from Salon-
ki and Monastir. Another deputation,
composed of twenty-four members, is
leaving tonight TO convey, to the troops
the assurance of the chamber that there
tuition.
The situation undoubtedly is grave,
On account OF the tenslty of the public
mind, the slightest incident may pro-
woke conflagration, while the news
from the provinces possibly may arouse
race preiudices in this city that up to
the present bave been dormant.
The artillery at Hademkoi mutinied
during the night Selling some of their

the uniforms of privates. they entrained
for Constantinople to the number of
1900 in order TO assure themselves that
the constitution was being maintained
and that the sultan was alive.
They marched to the war Office. where
they were entertained at tea and re-
freshments, afterwards proceeding TO
parliament Here they listened to re-
assuring speeches by the acting presi-
dent of the chamber and several promi-
nent deputies.
Cheers for Sultan.
In the square facing The house OF
parliament prayers were offered and
the sultan was cheered The whole
scene. which was most dramatic. passed
off with perfect order. The men subsc-
duently returned 20 IIadcmkoI with the
parliamentary depataiIon.
The council of ministers consulted
with the British ambassador concerning
the advisabtlliv of authorizing G. II
Fi,Zmaurice, FIRST draoauan of the en-
bassv, TO accept The parliamentary dep.
utation and explain to the Saloniki
troops that the powers were satisfied
with the assurance of the maintenance
of the constitution, but it was decided
to abandon the idea and leave the dcpu-
ties TO arrange the matter themselves.
The difficulty at Salonki and otber
centers i'm Macedonia is that the vari.
Gus populations have been unable to
learn the Significance of Tuesday s rev
nlutiou at Constantlnoplc owing to the
censorship of all dispatches by tho or.
gans representing the committee of
union and progress.
Much Misrepresentation.

resented that tho troops and public
were reassurcG, whereas the contrary
was the case. Tho latest information
is to the effect that the northern Al
banians are wavcrng, while the south
ern Albaniaus. who first decided to
send continccnts 70 CouStantnoplc,
have now abandoned that plan.
