break this morning, according to unof-
ficial dispatches received here. The
first engagement which was little more
than a skirmish, was commenced
shortly before six o'clock in the south
western part Of Pera near the Yildiz
Kiosk.
The Young Turks troops closed on
the city last night and there was a
feeling of alarm all through the night
that hostilities would commence at
any minute. The troops in the Con-
stantinople barracks, 5000 in number
and their officers, who had refused to
swear allegiance to the constitution
yesterday, kept on the alert, fearing
an attack.
Cause Of Attack.
The sudden declaration Of the loyal
ty OF these troops to the sultan came
as the final cause which impelled the
attack. It had been rumored through
dispatches sent out from Constantine
pie and other cities. that when the In
vesting army marched into the city,
that the royal troops would throw
down their arms and fraternize with
tAe ingaders The power Of the sui
tan over his army, however. proved
too strong to break.
Dawn found Constantinople in tu7-
moil While excitement had existed
through the previous days the situa-
tion today was panic. The corre-
spondents who attempted to inform
their newspapers of the fighting founi
themselves severely hampered and it
was with the utmost difficulty that the
mere mention of the assault was tele-
graphed from the city.
Rattle Of Musketry.
The rattle of musketry was the sig-
nal today for flight and through the
morning hours many made prepara-
ti0ns to flee. Stores were broken up
and rifled and the lawless, finding
their movements unhampered, added
to the general terror by the looting
and vandalism.
The sultan is in the Yildiz Kiosk,
and while no word comes from him. 1t
is evident that he fears falling into tho
hands Of the Young Turks, who have
sworn to decapitate him.
Newspaper Man Wounded.
Frederick Moore. a newspaper cor
respondent, representing the New
York Sun. was wounded by bullet
while taking photographs.
The dead are estimated at upwards
of 1000. and many thousands more
were wounded.
The barracks were demolished with
the cannon and many buildings in the
city fell beneath the terrific fire. The
foreign population is in imminent dan
ger, although two foreigners are re-
ported killed. The hotels and en-
bassies are protected by troops. Pre-

caution is being taken to preven
harm to the foreign colonies.
Fight Starts 5:45 A. N.


The fight broke out at 5:45 o'clock
a. m. today in Pera, just outside OF
Constantipople. The Young Turks
precipitated the battle by a sortie into
the barracks of the royalists. They
occupied the barracks and resisted all
efforts to force them out until they
were demolished with cannon.
The neighborhood surrounding the
Yildiz Kiosk is strewn with dead and
wounded. The wounded are being
cared for in the best manner possible
under the circumstances.
The Young Turks army is far too
small to combat the thousands of re-
ligious fanatics who may begin riot
ing at any moment Already there
has been looting in some quarters of
the city. There are nearly a million
fanatics in Constantinople and the im-
mediately adjacent country.

that more Europeans were not killed

There had been skirmishing all
through the night. but the real engage
ment did not start until dawn today.
1t was at the opening of the battle at
daybreak when the American newspa-
per correspondent was wounded. So.-

Mohammedan population may rise up.
There were evidences Of unrest among
the Mussninnans through the early
hours OF today. II was noticeable
shortly after the first gun was fired at
e o'clock last night.
Soldiers just Returned.
The soldiers OF the Daoud barracks
had just returned from attending the
sultan on his trip to the Selamnk cere-
mony In the mosque and found that
several batallions of Young Turks
troops, including company OF Salon.
lea chasseurs, had taken possession OF
the barracks in the meantime. Firing
began and two soldiers were killed.
The Daoud barracks are just outside
the stamboul walls. Which side the
first volley came from is not known,
although the Young Turks declare that
the loyalist troops opened fire first
The loyalist troops then drew off. The
muttering of musketry still kept up
and both sides prepared for the battle
which was to follow. The people o.
Constantinople were in state of great
terror. fearing a general engagement
over the city. which might level it to
the ground. Hundreds rushed to the
various embassies, pleading for protec.
ton.
Demands were made from the con
sulates for troops and these were hon
ored by several companies which were
distributed. some being sent to the
American, others to the English, 9th

CHRIS Sailor Jumper Suit.

The sailor jumper suit is one of the
latest and best liked developments OF
that favorite model, and here is one
made from white linen. with bands of
blue, which is smart and summer-like
in the extreme. The long, loose
blouse is drawn on over the head
without an opening, and the big sail
or collar makes it's pretty and Nappro-
pirate finish. In this case no shield
is worn, and for very warm days and
for tennis and other outdoor sports
that style is most desirable one, but
the shield can be used whenever
liked.
The suit consists of the jumper and
the skirt. The skirt is straight and
can be either pleated or gathered at
its upper edge, where it can be joined
to fitted body lining or to a belt
The blouse is made with front and
back portions. 1t Is faced at the
front and the collar is joined to the
neck edge. The sleeves are simple
plain ones, with cuffs finishing their
lower edges. The separate shield can
be used and adjusted under the
blouse or the body lining can be faced
to give the effect; or, again, the suit
can be worn without the shield, when
the skirt should be attached to belt
in place of the body lining.
