Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. April 14.-Private kilograms
from Constantinople report that order has
been restored there.
Cheering soldiers, with bands playing,
accompanied Edham Pasha, the new min
lister of war. from the Yildiz Kiosk to
stamboul. The troops. however. are un-
willing to recognize Tewhk Pasha, the
newly appointed grand vizier.
A dispatch from Constantinople. via
Vienna, states that the sultan's principal
secretary read today to the chamber an
trade announcing that new ministry
was being formed and that measures had
been taken to preserve order and insure
security throughout the country. The
trade also announced that the troops who
took part in yesterdays demonstrations
had been pardoned.
Further, 1t is announced that the Sheri
law had been established. which consists
Of the ancient Mohammedan civil and re-
ligious laws. based upon the Koran and
tradition. The sultan accordingly exhorts
the troops to return to their barracks and
the people to return to their various oc-
cupations.
The chamber greeted the sultan's mes
sage with cheers for the sultan.
Today's dispatches make 1t clear that
the Turkish revolt Is in favor Of the lib
erals and not the reactionaries, and that
II was directed chiefly against the HE
rarchy established by the faction into
which the Young Turks committee Of
union and progress had developed.
Ismafl Kemalbey. leader Of the liberal
union party. will be president Of parlia-
rnent in accordance with the revolters'
demands. Zohrab. another liberal leader.
will be the vice president.
Order prevails for the moment but the
outcome of the complete political confu-
sion. which involves the entire country, is
still uncertain.
LONDON, April IA private telegram
from Constantinople received today says
that order was restored there this morn
Ing.
Quiet Now Restored.
CONSTANTINOPLE. April 14.-No def
inite announcement Of the formation of
the new cabinet yet has been made. AS a
result there is some recrudescence Of the
public anxiety.
The attitude of small detachments Of
Turkish marines, who are circulating
through the European quarter. is causing
growing apprehension. The men appear
to be in an ugly mood. They fire their
rifles every few yards. Several casualties
from stray shots already have been re-
corded.
Following the usual custom in Con-
stantinople when possible disturbances
are feared. the owners of shops began
closing their places at o'clock this after
noon. Business came to a standstill.
So far as Is known the only certainty
In the new cabinet is Edhem Pasha who
will be minister of war. Even the ap-
pointment OF Tewfik Pasha as grand viz
Ter. which was thought to be assured, Is
now reported as doubtful because OF the
supposed objection Of the mutineerA
Sultan Grants Demands.
Constantinople was queter this morn
ing, after the exciting occurrences of
yesterday, and business gradually was
resumed.
majority of the garrison, however,
stili occupy positions in front Of the
chamber of deputies and the war office.
There they await the formation Of a new
cabinet
The night. however. was one Of alarm.
The troops celebrated the overthrow of
the young Turks by firing continuous rife
volleys.
This alarmed the entire population of
the city. The people were ignorant of the
cause of the firing. and thought fight
was going on.
The sultan has granted practically all
the demands OF the riotous troops, name
ly:
The adoption OF the sheriff laws as the
basis for new laws.
The dismissal of the grand vizier the
ministers of war and marine, and Ahmed
Ria, president Of the chamber, the latter

Ioniki battalions Of chausseurs.
