Albanians to live under stable govern

There really seems to be but little
Improvement in the situation here. The
troubles along the border have not been
adjusted and the rebellion of the Epi-

Corfu has come to an understanding
by which the rebels are to have almost
everything that they demanded except
autonomy of government. Much had
been hoped from the journey OF Turk
han Pasha, the Prime Minister, to the
capitals of Europe; but it is believed
now that his purpose was mercy TO
counteract the effect Of Essad's revolt,

heavy iron barred door.
The approach to Essad's Office is

each side of the entrance is a room for

rifles and men carrying three and four
belts Of cartridges. on the landing of
the second floor Essad has his recep-
ton room. his desk is against the wall
and on each side is a window from
which he can see the Princes palace,
the Austrian and Italian gunboats and
every person in the street below.
Essads house was thus truly his
castle. And the body of gendarmes
and their Dutch commanders had a
piece Of work cut out for them when
they were told to take II. That It proved
easier than they thought was due to
the fact that they had cannon and
Essads forces had none. One Of the big
guns was placed on height where it
overlooked Essad's roofs, the other from
it's position on the old wall could pour
snOt INTO the upper story ol tne House'
The men who attempted to reach the
house through its narrow streets were
met by a heavy fire from the Albanian
marksmen within. They were forced
TO retire, leaving one Of their number
dead and carrying away, every one OF
the others, a bullet mark as reminder
Of the engagement. The cannons in the
meantime were brought into action;
one Of the balls crushed through the
windows into Essad's office, another
dropped on the roof Of the harem, and
others tore through the guard room.
There was nothing left but to sur
| render, and Essad accepted the terms
imposed upon him.
He was taken down to the palace,
where he had often gone as guest and
as the chief adviser to the Prince. He
had to walk, for the streets OF DuraZzo
are too narrow even for the small AL
bantam carriages. The way was cleared
before him and soldiers watched the

TO raise a large body Of men and put
them under his own command to sup
press the uprising in the south. This
was looked upon as a too evident at
tempt to gain control Of the army.
Since then IL is claimed that he has
used underhand methods to raise "a
force of his own, and the present de-
velopment would seem to substantiate
this claim.
Essad has always insisted that what
he has done is for the good of his coun-
try. and that he has always been
prompted by the most fervent patriot
ism. He has used he claimed, his in
1uence with the Moslem population

spondent he recently expressed great
loyalty to the Prince, and as n proof
Of the good understanding between them
brought up the fact that the Prince and
Princess had just made him and his
wife visit at their palace at Tirana.
There is a cleverness IL not a beauty in
the subtlety of Oriental reasoning. and
Essad's view of the fatalism that
brought him to his present position
might have been interesting.
