Constantinople. May 5.-The situar

any time in its history. The eyes OF
all Europe are watching, as she
writhes in internal dissentions. Ev-

new patches Of death sentences by the
court martial. Only few executions
are in public. Important conferences
are being held by Young Turks as to
the punishment to meted out to the
ring leaders of the recent mutiny.
There Is great danger that wholesale
executions will inflame the Moham-

passion of these frenzied zealots may
break forth any minute.
There is also. a great variance Of
opinion as to the formation of a now

Burglars Reported Busy.

Lake Charles.-A remarkably dar
ing attempt at safe burglary took
place at West Lake, when a white
man fired off a charge of dynamite
and blew the door off the safe IL
the post Office. The bold burglar was
trying to batter the inner door open
with a crOsstie when the arrival OF q
number of citizens on the scene put
him to rout. The charge was put OF
about $50 in the morning and wa,
heard over the entire town. The
men who were attracted to the scene
were unable to capture the robber.
About 200 o'clock in the morning
the town Of Sulphur was aroused b!
similar explosion, but the cause
was not investigated until morning
when the front Of the safe in Buce
& Tabor's general store was found
to be a complete wreck from a dyna
mite charge. 1t is thought the same
man did both jobs. but he obtained
no money or valuables for his nights
