ABDUL TO HOLD HIS THRONE
Report Agreement Is Concluded with
Rebels-Panic in Constantinople
and Thousands Flea.

A special dispatch received i'll Lon
don from Athens says hat kilograms
that have come in there from Mersina
set forth that fully 10000 persons were
killed in the anti-ChriStian riOtlng or
the last few days in the Adana and
Tarsus districts, and other thousands
fed for safety. Entire villages were
RACED, and the country is Il smoking
wilderness. A special dispatch from
Constantinople says that u definite
agreement between the Government and
the committee Of union and progress
has been concluded. Abdul Hamid is
to remain as Sultan Of Turkey, but the
present cabinet will resign.
Religious and anti-European out
breaks from end to end of the en-
pire overshadowed the fight for consti-
tutional freedom with the Byzantine
capital as its vortex. Mussulman plety
in all it's fanaticism has been let loose
and cries of Death to the FrankS'
have drowned the speeches Of the con.
stitutionat leaders of the army sur
rounding Co~nStantinOple who are seek
ing to Insure the peaceful! abdication
of Sultan Abdul IIamid and the estab-
lishment of parliamentary rule.
From Beilan pass, A~leXandretta.
Hadjin, Marash, Aintab, Mersina,
Adana and Tarsus come shocking re-
ports Of fresh outrages in which Chris
tians and Armenians have paid the toll
by thousands of lives. In MOnastir
1900 Albanians revolted, terrorizing
the district and killing their colonel
and a large number Of Young Turk Of.
fcerS, as well as the mayor. Advices
from Uskup, 100 miles from Salonica,
say that the rising has spread through
out the whole of Northern Macedonia.
Eight thousand armed Albanians have
overawed the small bodies Of troops re-
naming in he country, and Christian
families are fleeing. Crowds are TAX
ing refuge in the Greek INC Servian
consulates.
The adjustment Of the Sultan's status
with the Constituencies is now a
matter Of secondary Importance. Work
ing in scores. fanatics of n new party,
the party of religious z~ealots, have cir
culated among the troops and the sail
ors Of the fleet and poisoned their
minds both against their leaders and
the Sultan.
