YOUNG TURKS TO fight
After Much Disorder and Excitement
in Constantinople Their Party
Captured the Government After
Killing Nazim Pasha, Former Com
mander Of the Turkish Army.
Fighting occurred at several places |!
in Constantinople on Saturday morn |
ing. A dozen or more persons have
been wounded and many arrests have
been made. Great public excitement
has followed the killing Of Nazin
Pasha, the ner war minister and
commander OF the Turkish army, who
was shot during public demonstra-
tions in Constantinople Friday nlgh:.
Talaatt Bey, the new minister OF
the interior, informed the European
embassies that all measures neces-
sary to insure the security OF the
city had been taken. He also ad-
dressed circulars to the provincial
governors, explaining the reasons for
the change in the government, and
calling upon people to lend their NOR
al and material aid to the govern
ment. I'VE are determined" he
said, "to defend the interests Of the
country, now face to face with the
prospect Of resumption Of hostili-
ties.'
Enver Bey, who has taken such a
prominent part in the overthrow OF
Kiamil Pasha's cabinet, Is the pop
ular hero Of the day.
Nazim Pasha's death by a shot
from the revolver of Envey Bey or
Talaatt Bey is believed to have been
accidental. The two officers, in Or
der to protect themselves from the
fire of Nazim's aide de camp, who had
shot at them from a window, drew
their revolvers and emptied them at
him. A bullet struck and killed Ma
zim Pasha who was seated inside the
room.
The scene outside the offices Of the
Grand Vizier when the leaders OF the
Young Turk party arrived there N
the afternoon was <ery dramatic.
There was considerable crowd pres
ent and great enthusiasm was mani
tested when some one unfurled flag
| and waved it.
The excitement became tense when
Enver, mounted on white charger,
came in view, accompanied by several
Turkish staff officers. AS he dis
| mounted before the door and made
his request for an audience with the
Grand Vizier, the gates closed as
| though automatically. The camman-
dant of Constantinople himself stood
on guard and refused to allow any
one to enter except Enver Bey and
Talaatt Bey.
Accompanied by the co1amancan:,
they walked straight to the council
chamber, where most Of the ministers
were gathered and without prelirn-
| aries called upon the cabinet to rC-
sign from Office. The demand SEEM
ed to be more or less expected, for
Kiamil Pasha Immediately sat down
and wrote out his resignation. En-
yer Bey took it and proceeded to the
Sultan's palace amid the cheers OF
the crowd.
The Sultan at first was disinclined
to accept the resignation as genuine,
but after sending a messenger to the
Grand Vizierate and obtaining con-
flrmation, he called for Mahmoue
Shefket Pasha and promptly appoint
ed him Grand Vizier.
Nazim Pasha's Death.
Nazim Pasha, the commander OF
the Turkish army, received his death
wound while expostulating with
crowd Of demonstrators for having
become embroiled in conflict at the
Grand Vizierate. The official YER
sion of the afray, which IS termed a
"regrettable incident" was issued
Friday night.
When the demonstrators, it says,
headed by Enver Bey, one OF the
leaders of the Young Turks party,
penetrated the Grand Vizierate in an
attempt to enter the Council cham
Der they were stopped by Fafz Bey,
aide-de-camp to the Grand Vizier,
who, drawing his revolver, fired a
shot at them. The aide-decamp OF
Nazim Pasha also fired at the crowd,
his bullet striking Mehmed Nednf,
one of the demonstrators. The de-
monstrators thereupon replied and
Nazim's adie-de-camp was instantly
killed.
Nazim Pasha, who. was in the
Council chamber, heard the shots
and rushed outside. Facing the de-
monstrators he upbraided them, call
ing them ill-mannered ours. While
he was speaking bullet cut short
his remarks and he fell dead.
A secret police agent and an at
tendant Of the Sheik-Ul-1slam head
of the Mohammedan clergy also were
killed. The leading Unionlsts OF
Constantinople declare the shooting
of Nazim was unprecedented, and
much rekretted, but under the cir
cumstancss, unavoidable. They say
the Unionists bore nc ill-will toward
