Enver Bey's demand.
There was nothing else for
Kiamil to do, but give in. He
wrote out his resignation and
handed tito Enyer Bey.
Enver Bey went out, and, wav-
ing the resignation above his
head, shouted:
Il have here the resignation of
every member of the cabinet" "
The street resounded with the
wild cheers Of the people, and
the cheering spread to all quart
ers of the city.
Enver Bey jumped into car
riage and was driven at top speed
to the Sultan's palace.
There he told rwhat he had
done, and ordered the Sultan to
proclaim Mahmoud Shevket
Pasha grand vizier. The Sultan
did so, and EnVer Bey made him
practically a prisoner in his pal
ace.
Enver Bey then drove back to
the grand vizierate. Nazim
Pasha appeared at a window.
Enver Bey was denied admit
tance. He threatened to call on
the people to storm the house,
Some one standing behind
Maxim Pasha fired a shot into
the crowd: The next moment

floor. And it is said that it was

the Young Turks.
Preparations for going on with
the war were made Immediately.
Talaat Bey's first proclamation
as minister of the interior was as
follows;
"We shall save the national
honor of the Turkish empire or
die in the attempt. The govern
ment that countenanced such a
surrender as that of Adianople
and the Aegean islands has been
overthrown. The change in the
cabinet means that we do not ac-
.cept all the terms offered by the
allies. We do not desire a contin-
uation of the war, but we shall
hold Adrianople at any cost"
London, Jan. 24.-The London
ambassadors of the powers were
summoned to the foreign office
by Sir Edward Grey, secretary of
state for foreign affairs. He told
them immediate action by the
powers was imperative to pre-
vent a renewal of the Balkan war,
which would almost certainly
cause a general European war.
The ambassadors have been
given discretionary powers by
their governments, and on their
action within the next twenty
four hours depends the peace of
Europe.
Rechid Pasha and his Ottoman
colleagues refuse to be interview
ed as to their Instructions.
