But the news from Turkey kept grow

IF danger to the lives and property OF
Americans residing ut Adana, Mersina.
Tarsus and other places in Asia Minor
determined the authorities at Wash

In case of further outbreaks. Captain
Marshall is in command of the squad

The uncertainty regarding Abdul Ha-

much discussion of his successor and
the Turkish manner of providing for q
vacancy in the rulership. According
to Ottoman laws, the sultan's heir Is
not his eldest son, but his eldest broth

very anxious for the honor, and he
was evidently much In doubt about his
ability to bold the helm of state, for
he kept rendering his resignation to
the sultan every few minutes while
the constitutional army was assem-

Ak Pasha has had several experiences
as grand vizier and was an old stand

dating considerably the rise Of the
Young Turk movement Among other
qualifications of statesman, Tewfik
Pasha has that of being a good buffer,
as was shown when he issued this
proclamation regarding the sultan and
the army of constitutional soldiers sur
rounding the capital: His sublime
majesty is awaiting benevolently the
arrival of the constitutional army. His
sublimity is in favor of the consti-

Much interest has been aroused In
the fate Of the American missionary,
Rev. Daniel Minor Rogers of New

heir apparent to the throne under the
Ottoman laws of succession lived for
long time in such degree OF re-

spies surrounding him always. His
supposed sympathy with the Young
Turk party caused him to be regarded
with suspicion by Sultan Abdul Ha-

years ago he was arrested and impris-

charge of conspiring against the reign
ing monarch, but recently Abdul Ha-
mid received him at the Yildiz kiosk
and treated him in somewhat more
brotherly fashion. AS a rule, among
oriental potentates and their aspiring
relations family ties are not very
