MARINES, IN MUTlNY
AT C0NSTANTINoPLE,
ARE QUICKLY SUBDUED

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 2.--The
marines in the Kassim barracks, which
are situated behind the American en-
bassy, mutinied last night. They re-
fused to embark for distribution to the
various forts.
The marines belong to the old dis
affected garrison, and although they
had nominally surrendered were in an
ugly mood. They were easily per-
suaded by agitators to make an armed
protest against exile from the CAPT
tai
When the American ambassador. Mr.
Leishman, looked out of his bedroom
window this morning he observed a
battery of mounted Howitzers occupy
ing position on a terrace near the en-
bassy. Farther up field pieces had
been stationed, while battalions of in
fantry were spread out through the
Turkish cemetery and on tbs slope
overlooking the Golden Horn.
Gen. Schefket, commanding, lost no
time in bringing the mutineers to
terms. After they had surrendered he
said:
1T was the last flicker of resistance.
After we had disposed several batta-
lions of troops and some batteries
within easy range of the barracks we
inquired which it was to be, obedience
to orders or the fate of their comrades
in the Taxirn arsenal. The white flag
was then hoisted on the barracks.
Il do not blame the men for the
mutiny," added Gen. Schefket. 1T was
the work of a few ringleaders We are
now sorting them out for courtmar-
tial"
The treasures of the palace of Yildez
are being inventoried by a parliament
tary commission. Abdul Hamid took
the open hilly pastures thirty years
ago and gradually transformed them
into gardens, among which he con-
structed pavilions for himself, his wives
his children and the palace favorites.
Art Treasures Many
He gathered there an immense
variety of objects of art and luxury
services of silver and gold, French and
oriental carpets, Greek sculptures
taken from the museums of Constan-
tinople. presents from most of the
sovereigns of Europe and gifts from
wealthy subjects. Within the walls of
the palace are artificial lakes, zoologi-
cal garden with an especially fine col
lection of goraffes various breeds of
camels and rare birds and an automo-
bile course.
The art objects taken from the mu-
seums will be returned; the furniture,
rugs, porcelains and jewels will be
distributed to the other palaces, the
new sultan, Mehemmed v, taking the
choice Of these for the Dolmabagtsche
palace. where he is at present.
Search is being made for the boards
of cash which Abdul Hamid is reported
TO always have had on hand He has
also great sums invested abroad. None,
however has been found as yet, all
though the former sultan must have
had at least a few hundred thousand
pounds in the domestic exchequer.
Sultan Mehemmed has kept himself
somewhat in retirement ever since he
replaced his brother on the throne. He
drove out to his country home today
and was warmly cheered.
Large crowds had gathered to watch
his return to the palace, and the sui
tan was given an ovation which seemed
to please him greatly.

A HUSBANDS CRUELTY.
Winifred Black Tells Pathetic Story of
a Young Wife

a young woman killed herself in Penn
sylvania the other day. She was a bride,
% years old, very pretty, unusually
bright and greatly admired in the little
village where she lived She had a nice
circle of friends, a pleasant little home
and good-l0Oking husband, who was al
most brand-new-but she killed herself
and died in awful agony, just as relent
lessly as if she had been poor and friend
less and fOrsaken.
She and her husband went to a party
one night and there was IA strange
young woman at the party, not so pretty
not so bright, no so attractive and not
SO happy as the bride, I'll warrant you
The strange young woman danced with
the young husband, and she said TO
him: Your wife doesn't know me- but
know her" And when the young hus-
band asked the strange woman what she
meant she laughed and said: "I've got
u package of letters at home that your
wife wrote to another man before She
married you"
And the next day the young husband
went and persuaded the strange woman
to give him the letters-and then. instead
Of destroying them without reading n
word as any human being with the
heart of man or the pity of hyena
would have done. he took them home
and read them aloud to his little. pretty,
helpless. frightened young wife-her fool
ish pitiful. little letters that she had
written to an old sweetheart. She ,ried
and begged him not to read the letters.
tut he read them over and over aud
made her listen to every word
The next day he went to work az usual
and that night he brought the letters
home with him again and read them
aloud again and sneered at them-and
his young little wife went out into the
kitchen and drank carbolic acid and fell
dead at the very feet of the man who
had promised to love. cherish and pro-
tect her as long as they both should live.

After summer spent in circling the

new; Sicily aud Ceylon have never been
touched upon by Mr.. Holmes, while
Egypt, Italy aud Norway, although hav-
ing been the subjects Of former ex-
ploitati0ns on the part Of Mr.. Holmes
a number OF years ago, are this year to
be taken up by him in novel manner
and SO refreshed and brought up-to-date
with new illustrations and incidents as
to make them equally new. The journey
from the Indian ocean to the Arctic will
TEEN with everything that is fascinating
and entertaining from a scenic point Of

contrast, and from the point o. human

tropical lOvlness as compared with the
awe inspiring ruggedness of Norway is
equaled in contrast by the difference in
