Rebels Subside.
Constantinople, May 3.-The marines

ated behind the American embassy,
mutinied Sunday night. They refused
to embark for distribution to the vari-
GUS ports.
The marines belong to the old dis
affected garrison and although they
had nominally surrendered were in an
ugly mood. They were easily per-
suaded by agitators to make an armed
protest against exile from the capital.
General Schefket, commanding, lost
no time in bringing the mutineers to
terms. After they had surrendered he
said: ''It was the last flicker of resist
ance. After we had disposed several
battalions of troops and some batteries
within easy range of the barracks we
inquired which it was to be, obedience
to orders or the fate of their mutinous
comrades. The white flag was then
hoisted on the barracks.
81 do not blame the men for the
mutiny," added General Schefket. alt
