lnious that the sultan's deposition is
absolutely necessary.
The Sheik TT i-isIam has prepared
Il religious decree approving OF the
deposition OF the sultan. which will

deposition the appearance OF regular
ity and cannot influence the result.
Richard Effendl. the sultan's
brother, may be declared the ruler.

troll OF the city, there Is grave danger
OF the STEAMBOAT mob attempting TO

Turks have established eourt-martisl
here at which will be tried all OF the
participants in the revolt against the
Constitutionalists Train loads Of
prisoners are expected TO arrive here
soon from the capital.
IL In the general impression that
the common soldiers who participated
In the revolt will be simply dismissed
from the army. but that their officers
1will be shot.
One report IL that between twenty
and thirty OF the leaders III the revolt
were summarily executed in Constan.
tinople yesterday This report is not
yet confirmed, but II is generally be.
lieyed. inasmuch as the leaders Of
the Young Turks had promised death
10 certain OF, the army officers who
had proved traitors To- their cause.
There was a report here today that
sthe Young Turk leaders plan repub-
lie, bu; this is considered unlikely.
