That is the Despairing Cipher
Message Sent by the
Commander.
BEGs FOR ARMISTECE
But Turkish Ministers Are
Divided on Steps to
Take.
(By AssocIated Press. J

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Mar. 12.-The
despairing cry Of Il can hold out only
a week longer" was sent in cipher by
wireless today from shurki Pasha, the
Turkish commander of Adrainople, to
his superior officers here.
shukri, who has held out for many
months against the hundreds of big
guns, of the Bulgarians and seryians,
is said to have informed the Porte
that Adrianople is practically at the
end of its supplies of food and am
munition and that there is much
sickness especially scurvy and intes-
final disorders.
The commander who has offered
such long and gallant defense urges
that the negotiations be FASTENED or
that an immediate attempt to relieve
the city be undertaken.
The Turkish ministry is divided in
opinion and will have difficulty in
reaching any solution of the problem
raised by the commander.
The ferment aroused by the murder
of Nazlm Pasha continues to threaten
internal troubles in Turkey. At a
service held here today in memory of
Nazim the officiating priest pro-
nounced a malediction on his assas-
sins and those who had deceived the
Sultan of Turkey.
