Little News from Scene of Fighting Greeks Occupy SaIoniki and May Soon Join BuIgarians on Their
 Onward March.

Constantinople, Nov. 8.-The Sheik- Ul-lslam, shead of the hierachy in Turkey, issued an appeal for a holy war in manifesto addressed to the Ulemas and Hodkas The manifesto says:
 With view to exciting and en- couraglng the soldiers of the enemies who surround us, the priests with cross in their hands are working in accord with the army It is not fit ting that ou Ulemas should neglect the accomplishment of a similar duty.
 In order that the victory and glory promised by the Almighty may be granted without delay to the Ottoman army It is necessary that the vener- able Ulemas organize a jihad. Such a holy war has moreover become an obligation if the position of the Otto man soldiers, wlo all are heroes, is to be strengthened.
 "Ulemas who felt that they possess the aptitude and strength to partici- pate in this important task are invited to present themselves immediately at the Sheik-Ul-lslam at which he will send those selected to the army"
 Inere have been rumors for a day or two that the ministry was unstable, owing to it's request for mediation by the European powers, but the newspa- )ers say this situation has given way before the demand of the army and of the people. The common danger seems to have united all parties. Tais is shown by the fervid outburst of the newspapers of all political shades urg. ing a fight to the finish.
 The explanation of this new born unanimity may be found in the sug- gestion of one of the higa government officials that even if it is found i'm. possible to hold the lines at Tchatalja. other defenses are possible before the enemy can reach this city.
 Every male who has reached the age of 19 years will be expected to be ready to perform his share in the duty of protecting the capital.
