Moore and Harry G. Dwight, both corre- spondents, and Alexander A. Garguilo, the first dragoman of the American embassy. Moores wife, who is an English woman, is caring for him at the French hospital Rifaat Pasha, the minister of foreign af- fairs, inquired personally of Ambassador Leishman regarding Moore-s condition and expressed regret that an American should have been injured.
 An American Wounded.
 Moore at the time he was wounded, was watching the operations through field glass. By his side stood Greek taking photographs. The two men prob- ably attracted the attention of the Turk ish marksmen. The bullet that passed through Moore's neck killed a native be- hind him. Dwight, who is magazine writer, was under fire for some time. He was shot while endeavoring to reach Con- stantinople from village few miles out Finding the approaches to the city closed, he obtained rowboat and made his way down the Bosphorus, past the Yildlz Kiosk. The water round his boat was constantly splashed with spent bullets.
 Dragoman Garguilo's wound is not se- we're. He was wounded while sitting in the window of house in the Grande Rue de Pera. The bullet tore through his left arm and passed through the wall of the house. Garguilo entered the American legation in 1867. He was born in Italy, His sister, Mrs. Brigham, lives in New York. He is distinguished for his judg- ment in political affairs, his knowledge of languages and his courtesy He has been of uncommon use to long line of Amer ican ministers and to the embassy since 1t was created.
 A shell embedded itself in the wall of the residence of the Belgian minister. Count Errembault de Dudzeels, but in- jured no one. Edward H. Ozmun, the American consul general, and J. P. Carp, the Romanian charge d'affaires, were Vtanding in the window of MT. Ozmun's House within the fighting zone when Bullet struck Carp's sleeve. A score of bullets hit the dwelling.
 Residences Shot Up.
 Three shots passed through the win dows of the German embassy. while there were 50 bullet holes in the resi- dence of the German consul general, the bullets penetrating the iron shutters Of the windows as though the shutters were paper. An Italian seaman on the guard ship Calico was killed on the deck or the vessel
 fine view was had of the engage ment at the Tasoh Kischla barracks from the roof garden of the German embassy.
 Dr. Von Miguel, councillor of the em- bassy, and the military and naval at taches were among those who witnessed the whole fight.
 The Yildiz Kiosk was about 200 yards distant and the barracks not more than 800 yards. One side of the barracks was almost blown away. Not less than 50 of the garison finally retreated by the rear gates, dragging machine guns with them. They fought in the Turkish grave yard which fronts the embassy, until 50 of them were killed and more than 100 wounded. Then they hoisted the white fog and surrendered
 The troops, who were made prisoners, were taken under strong escort to the Stamboul war office. As they passed through the streets of Pera, which so lately echoed their gaieties, surrounded by dusty, un-browned Salonilxi fighting men, they looked sullen and dejected and seemed to resent deeply their defeat nt the hands of fellow Moslems. The peo- pie on the streets were impressed with the quick fate that had overtaken the mutineers. This conflict between Mos lem and Moslem has had profound effect upon the Turkish people and it is , feared that it may become the seed of further trouble.
 Questioned as to why they fired upon the Saloniki soldiers one of the prs- oners replied that they had arms and would be towards to surrender without A shot. Had not their officers hidden the keys to the storerooms where the guns and ammunition were kept, they would have made the Macedonian troops dance to different tune. Apparently the off cers in general made no effort to help the soldiers in revenge for their recent persecution, when 1t is estimated more than 15O officers were murdered by the men.
