The Troubles Ia Turkey.

Philippopolis, Bulgaria, April 49,
The Young Turks aud Macedonian
troops are expected to enter CODstantt-
nople tonight, when they will immedi-
a,ely demand the sultsn's abdication.
1t is believed here that the Turkish
ministry will promptly resign.
Oonstantinople, April l9.-The Young
Turks have sent an ultimatum to the
sultan aud the new ministry, embodying
the following demands: The peaceinl
surrender Of the city; the rs-establish-
ment of Hilmi Pashs's cabinet; the
restoration of their parliamentary seats
to the Young Turks who were expelled
as traitors by an edict of the new minis
try; the surrender of the leaders OF the
revolt, including Editor Ali Renal OF
the Ikdam Said Pashs, son OF the
former Grand Vizier; Kiamil Psshs,
and Ismail Kemalbri. These three men
are declared to be chiefly responsible
along with the sultan, and their execu-
ton has been decreed BY the Young
Turks. The certain knowledge that
their execution will follow the success
Of the Young Turks has caused the
leaders to take extreme measures to
keep the sultan's troops in line.
Sofia, April 19.-It Is rumored here
that the sultan has offered to sbdIcste
on condition that the committee Of the
Young Turks agree to safeguard him and
bis property. The rumor states that the
offer has been ignored by the Young
Turks. 1t Is further believed here that
the Young Turks have already proclaim
ed Mahommed Rechad IS sultan. He
Ia the brother of the sultan.
Foreign Intervention Is almost certain
to result in q wholesale massacre OF
Christians throughout Turkey, and no
one is more aware of this fact than thu
partisans who are laboring TO depose the
sultan and The present Turkish regime.
There is 8 strong possibility that a
naval battle may yet take place. The
warships that are now stationed about
the capital are manned and differed BY
reactionarles who are true to the sultan.
The balance of the Turkish navy is re-
ported to be under way toward Oonstan-
tinople. Young Turks are In command,
and an attempt will be made to capture
or destroy the vessels that still continue
faithful to the sultan.

The Halns Trial.

Flushing, L. l., April 19.-When the
trial of Captain Peter O. Hams for the
murder OF William E. Annis at the Way
side Yacht Club last August was called
before Justice Glrretson today 1t was
anticipated that 1t would be long drawn
out, owing to the statement by Justice
Garretson that he will lock the jury up.
This fact is expected to kept many who
might be willing to serve of the jury.
There is a distinct probability today,
however, that the case will never reach
the jury. Attorney John F. Mcintyre
believes that not only Was Captain Hams
insane when he killed Annis, bat that
he is still insane, aud 1t Is reported that
when the case Of the prosecution Is COM
ple!ed he may ask the appointment OF q
commission to pass on the captain. The
captains family also think he Is insane,
bat they want him tried and acquitted,
If possible, 70 that they can have him
committed to a government institution
for treatment. ~
