Reports received at the Ministry of the Interior indicated that quiet now prevailed everywhere. Asked particularly about Hadjin. Adi!

Timely Warning Sent by Tewfik Pacha to Young Turks' Commander. London. April "The Daily Telegraph's" Con stantinople correspondent says that the report that preparations had been made for a general massacre last Saturday is absolutely confirmed. It appears, pays the correspondent, that Tewfik Pacha fore warned the commander In chief of these prepara tion? on Friday. In consequence it was decided to issue a proclamation announcing the retention of the Sultan on the throne, and a forced march was ■safe for fourteen hours, enabling Constantinople to be occupied on Saturday instead of Sunday, as originally planned. AMERICANS NO LONGER IN DANGER. Leisliman Sends Reassuring Messages — Pleased with New Government's Methods. [From (be Tribune Bureau] Washington. April 29.— Reassuring dispatches from Ambassador FlsStlllMn at Constantinople have added to the confidence, felt at the State Depart ment that there is no lonser cause for apprehension as to the welfare of Americana in Turkey. Mr. Irishman l.a* informed the department that, fol lowing the restoration of good order in Constanti nople and the peaceful deposition of the former Sul tan, a large force of soldiers has been went to the provinces near Alexandretta and Adana for the purpose of quelling any outbreaks which may be attempted. There is no reason to fear that any porous disturbances will endanger the foreigners In those provinces, but the new Turkish government has Bedded that every emergency must be met firmly and quickly. Mr LetSbSBSSI is greatly pleased with the way In which the new constitutional government has taken hold of the situation, and lie predicts that there will "be no necessity for martial law after an other week or two. He says the merchants have l.'gun to do their usual business, and that in a Short tim» normal conditions will prevail. The trials of offenders are ing conducted with dis patch, and all the citizens seem bent on preserving ordT. RUSSIAN HINT OF INTERVENTION. Further Massacres in Asia Minor May Lead to International Action. gL Petersburg. April 29.— Neither the Foreign Of fice nor the Turkish Embassy here has received confirmation of he dispatches telling of a revival of the massacring at A-lana. but. if the reports are true, the Situation may lead to the landing of marines in Turkey by international agreement. The attitude of the troops in Asiatic Turkey Is the chW source of anxiety to the Foreign Office, •where some doubt Is expressed as to th" ability of tin- n«w Turkish government to cope with a situa tion so far from Constantinople, as. for Instance, at Krzeroum. The Governor of Ei'croum has ex ■.:'<>*■• 1 his loyalty to the new Sultan, but the soldiers are an uncertain factor. The Foreign Office has not yet taken any offlc'al ptep toward the recognition of Molitned V. and Emperor Nicholas has not sent him a telegram of congratulation,' but th« mem government will be moft welcome if it puts an < nd to the chronic un certainty of the situation in Macedonia.

April :'».— A telegram receive! ner< > to-day from Adana said that the fiE'ntin? which began there again last Sunday continued for twii days, that a t«=rrlb)<- fire wVis destroying the Christian quarter of the city, and that fur ther .fforts were being made to stamp out the Armenian population. This message was from Stephen R Trow - bridge, the missionary. It probably was dated April It was transmitted by the captain "i the British battleship SwHtsure thTOUffh the British Embassy to the Rev. W. W. Pe<=>t. the representative here of the American Board. The dispatch is as follows; The righting, which began again in Adana Sunday night, has continued for t\M> days A terrible fir^ i 6 destroying the Christian quarter of Adana. and nn effort is being made to stamp out the Armenians. The local officials refuse to furnish us with a sufficient guard. No at tempt has b»-en made to put out th<- fire. The Valt and the other Turkish officials are showing the most criminal indiffer^n.-. . Although mar tial law lias been proclaimed it has produced r.<> effect in restoring confidence.

TROWBRIP.JE Th» captain Of the Swiftsure adds that while this message was being transmitted another tel egram came to him direct from Adana. saying that the fire had been extinguished. SUFFERING IN ADANA. Three Hundred in Hospitals, 15,000 Homeless — r ali Blamed. Adana. Saturday. April -The emergency bos pitals established here contain three hundred patients suffering from wounds, many of whom are women. The average number of wounds to each patient Is four. There is great need of food and medical supplies. Practically the entire Ar menian population of Adana. fifteen thousand per sons, is homeless. The sufferers are without bed ding or clothing, and the food supplies in the shops are exhausted. Some of the wounded Armenian women have told Miss Wallace, an English nurse, that they were phot by the Moslems because they screamed when they saw their husbands killed before their eyes. Many Armenian girls were carried off by the Turks. A large number of mutilated bodies have been found in the houses of the city. During the first live days of the disorders, while fighting, killmg and plundering were going on on all sides, the Vail of Adana kept the Turkish troops in the Government House day and night under orders. On the sixth day he ordered them to put a stop to the fighting, which could have been done on the first day. Stephen Trowbrtdge, an American missionary, said to-day: "One man U responsible for the dis orders here. This is the Vali himself. He had it in his power to suppress lawlessness and massacre, but deliberately refrained from doing so. He said •simply: 'We are not responsible.' "The better class of Turks in Adana." Mr. Trow bridge continued, "the members of the Committee of Union and Progress, are deeply grieved and sad dened at these dreadflu events. Some of them are ready to Join us in relief work for the Armenian?. One bey already has opened his house to refugees." It Is probable that the best elements of Adana will demand the execution of the Vali. William Chambers, another American missionary. is caring for seven hundred refugees in his bouse and on his grounds. One of the most threatening features of the situa lion to-day Is the garbage and filth m the street*, which have not been cleaned for a week. There is not enough water for drinking purposes or to dress the wounds of the injured. The local authorities have rescued much plunder from the looters, but npne of it has been returned to the owners. There are great piles of loot in Gov ernment House. Scenes of great brutality occurred in the neighbor ing town? of Bagilche. Osmanleh and Hamfdieh. In addition to killing the men the Moslems carried off women and children for slaves. Conditions in the country are terrible. Dead bodies are lying out on the fields. Great numbers of Armenian farm houses have been burned. Conditions are most un sanitary, and dysentery Is beginning to appear. CASTRO CONTINUES HIS ANTICS. Visits Tomb of His "Prototype," Napoleon— 3£ay Try to Reach Colombia. Paris, April 29.— Cipriano Castro, of Venezuela, is rapidly recovering his health. He drives out in an automobile every day. He predicts a revolution in Venezuela within fix months, but says that he has no Intention of profiting thereby. He prohably will leave France for Spain In a fortnight, as soon as his wife arrives from the West Indies, and there Is reason to believe that he intends to make his way to Colombia. Castro visited the tomb of Napoleon and seemed greatly impressed. As he uncovered he said: "There lies the greatest man of modern times He knew 'how to govern his people and at the same time cover himself with glory." In the Napoleonic Museum Castro examined the battle trophies and contemplated for a long time the Emperor's famous hat As he left the building and whs about to step Into Ms automobile he stopped and kissed the hand of a baby in a peram bulator, Faying, as he turned to the astonished mother: "In years to come you can tell the child that a general, the president of a republic, kissed her hand." WOMEN SUFFRAGISTS DIVIDED. Delegates Leave Session After Dispute Over Constitutional Provision. London. April 29.— A serious split in the ranks of the woman suffragists occurred to-day at the morning session of the International Suffragists' Alliance, and as a result a body of delegates left the hall. The trouble developed in the course of the dis cussion of the constitution of the organization. Some Of the societies desired to enlarge the mem bership, but under the leadership of Dr. Anna Shaw, one of the American delegates, the confer ence voted to reserve membership in the alliance to societies having the enfranchisement of women as their sole object. Dr. Shaw made a vigorous speech opposing the inclusion of organizations hav ing ulterior objects, and said the fatal effects of this course had been seen in America. The decision of the conference brought out a storm of protest from the adult suffragist societies. whose delegates left the meeting in a body. The woman suffragists to-night were the guests of the English suffragettes at a grand rally held at Albert Hal!. The feature of this gathering was the presentation of special badges to each of the 150 women sitting on the platform who had suffered Imprisonment "for the cause." THE LAURENTIC ON MAIDEN VOYAGE.

OVER 200 EXECUTIONS SADIR PACHA HANGED. Young Turks Kill Conspirators in Capital— The Cabinet. i ..nstantinople, April 2P— The Constitutionalists have lost no time in bringing the conspirators In the rr. ent rising to trial. The military court, sitting in the War office, to-day condemned about 2SO prisoners to death, and they were executed. Nadir I'acha. the second eunuch of the palace, whose sen tence was pronounced yesterday, was hanged at dawn on the Gaiata Bridge, and his great body was viewed by thousands in the early morning hours. The National Assembly, which met to-day under t hn presidency of Said Pacha, decided that Sul tnn Mehmed V should take the oath to support the constitution within a week. The Assembly also ratified the deportation of Abdul Hamid to Salonica. It is not expected that the new Cabinet will be completed before Saturday. The difficulty at pres ent consists in finding suitable men for the minis tries of tinance and Interior. Tewfik Pacha, who will be the Grand Vizier, has sent a communication to several provincial officials on this subject. The government has decided to send a commission to Adana to try by court martial the instigators of the massacres, and the members are authorized to act with the utmost severity. It is alleged that the chief authors of the recent mutiny were Abdul Hamid's favorite son. Prince Mehmed Burhan F;ddlne; Rear Admiral Paid Pacha. son of Kl.imil Pacha, the. former Grand Vizier, and Nadir Pacha, who were engaged for a long time prior to the rising in corrupting the troops. The two former have fled Ami! Hey. Inspector general of the Salonica police, who was charged with the transport of the former Sultan to Saloniea, relates that when he arrived at the palace at 1 o'clock in the morning he found Abdul Hamid in a large hall, which was illumi nated as if for a gala occasion by every candle and torch that could be found In the building. This was because Abdul Hamid dreads darkness; he has always been in fear of an assassin. He sat alone, with the exception of two eunuchs. In a corner in the same negligent attire as on the previous day, when the deputation from the National Assembiy infomted him of his deposition. ABDUL HAMID PLEADS IN VAIN. On being informed that he must depart, he begged not to be taken to Salonlca. He wanted to go to the.Cheraghan Palace. Finding his suppli cations In vain he resigned himself to his fate. He entered the carriage In a dejected manner and spoke not another word. Arriving at the railway station, he appeared to be stunned by fear, and was obliged to steady himself by grasping the rail ing leading into the car. which by the Irony of fate was a carriage bearing bis own monogram, which he himself had ordered built, bu| had ridden in only once for a short trip, which bad left him with a hatred for railways. This therefore was his first long journey in the imperial car. The body of Nadir Pacha, who was hanged on the Ga'.at.i Bridge, which connects Stamboul with the quarters of Galata and Pera, was allowed to swing until 8 o'clock in the morning, and thou sands of the people stopped to look at the great Nubian, whose name was a terror under Abdul Hamld. He was fully six feet four inches tall. Nadir was executed after a trial by court martial on the charge that he instigated the mutiny of the troops on April IS. He was reputed to be intensely ambitious, subtle and Insensible to the sufferings of others. He was one of the trio who formed Abdul Hamid's' private cabinet under the old regime. The other members of this cabinet wore Izzet Pacha and Kehim Pacha. The former, the Sultan's secretary, is now in hiding In London, and the latter, who was head of the Sultan's spy sys tem, has been assassinated somewhere In Russia. Nadir Pacha came to the Imperial ralace as a slave, and grew up in that hothouse of Intrigue. After the departure of Izzet and Kehlm. Abdul Hamld relied entirely on Nadir, who was regarded as having been the chief conspirator in the recent re bellion. Motor omnibuses made their first appearance on the streets of Constantinople on the day when the cuiißtitutitinalißt troops entered the city. Th* vehi cles belonged originally to a London company. They have been well patronized, chiefly on the score of their novelty. They ate driven by London chauffeurs, but the men find the narrow streets of the city difficult to traverse. Their chief com plaint, however, is of the slowness of the people In getting on and off. The streets of the city are In no way suited to this form of transportation, and as a result the vehicles have had a number of accidents. Yesterday one exploded and was quickly burned up. There was no loss of life. CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW SULTAN Mehmed V. the new Sultan, already has received congratulations from practically all the countries of the world on his accession The telegrams from Kin* Edward and President Failleres were the first to arrive. Many telegrams welcoming the change have some from the provinces. Luftl Bey, Secretary General of the Foreign Min istry, has been appointed first Chamberlain to the new Sultan; Halidzia v KnVndi, a well known au thor, has been made First Secretary or the Imperial Chancellery. and Kemsi Bey, commander of the Salonlca chausseurs, lias the post of first aid to his majesty. Three monuments commemorating the events of last Saturday are to be erected in the capital by public subscription. Official notice was given to-day that the people of th<! city would be allowed to remain on th» streets until 10:30 o'clock at night. WHERE THE NICKELS GO. P. S. C.

April 29.— Additional testimony bearing on the mental condition of Chester S. Jor dan, both before and after the murder of his wife, and his own account of his actions during the fatal hours, as related to an alienist, were pre-? sented at the trial of the young man to-day. The defence won a point at the outset by obtaining permission to introduce the conversation with Dr. William McDonald, jr.. of Providence, when that alienist talked with Jordan in Jail a month after the murder. The District Attorney, In objecting to the testimony, asserted that Jordan was coached to assume insanity within a day or two after his arrest, and that Dr. McDonald's evidence had no bearing on the case. Dr. McDonald related how Jordan told him of hearing strange voices, that it was God's will, that he was not responsible for the murder and that his mind at the time was more or less of a blank. He did, according to the witness, recall striking his wife with a flatiron and of knocking her down stairs, but Dr. McDonald said he made no mention as to how he brought the body back into the kitchen and dismembered it. Dr. McDonald said that Jordon was suffering from a disease which was affecting his spinal col umn and brain, and it was his opinion that he should be confined for the rest of his life. In fact, the physician was of the opinion that this confine ment should have begun years ago. On cross-examination, he said that he thought that Jordan was not morally responsible for the murder. TO KEEP SHIPS ABROAD. Naval Officers Think European Squadron Will Be Re-established. [From The Tribune Bureau.! Washington. April -That there will he estab lished a permanent naval squadron in European waters is the expectation of naval officers. It has been nearly twenty years since there was a naval command known as the European station. The vessels in European waters were withdrawn owing to the fact that the detail to duty on the European station was one of the most unpopular to which naval officers could he assigned, largely because of the expense involved in serving on ships which visited the various continental ports The officers were compelled to accept and return entertainment at their own expense. Later it became the policy of the government to send naval vessels to Euro pean waters only upon occasions of special cere mony and as a courtesy to foreign governments. The naval force in Turkish waters will soon in-, elude, the North Carolina, the Montana and the New York, and naval officers express much interest In the prospect that some ofllcsi will be detailed to command this special squadron, for which duty Rear \dmlral Raymond P. Rodger* is being men tioned The largest three ships will assemble at Alex andria, and the duration of their stay in that neighborhood will depend entirely upon the advices which come from the American Ambassador at Constantinople. Th, situation may so develop that it will be necessary to re-establish a European squadron. in which case It Is likely that the com mand will be made UP Of four or five vessels of various types, it being deemed inadvisable to dis turb the homogeneity Of the Atlantic fleet.

A silver loving cup. a foot and a half high, was presented to the guest of the evening. As for Mr. Jerome, he bemoaned the fact that therp was no longer a future for young men in pub lic life because of demagogic criticisms. "We have come to a reign of and for th* news papers," he said, "and liberty will be imperilled un less their criticism be checked." The speaker said he wanted to wag» no war with tbe newspapers, and gave them credit for do ing much service in the interests or justice, but de clared they had to cater to the public clamor. He cited the Legislature as an example of unjust criti cism and said ther- were men who dared not offer honest criticisms against the Public Service bill for fear they would be classed with the "Black Horse Cavalry." He voiced his esteem for the Governor, but said he believed the direct nominations bill was a "gold brick." and that the members of the Assem bly and Senate were elected to have opinions of their own and not to follow the Governor slavishly. "It is this constant driving of public men." he said, "that sends them into the arms of the party boss, because they find they cannot stand alone in an honest conviction against the criticism of the demagogues." Ignorant criticism, he continued, was not con fined to the press. He cited the instance of a former Supreme Court justice, who at a meeting of the state Bar Association had inveighed against the wholesale granting of certificates of reasonable doubt. After saying that in the seven years of his tenure of office only nine such certificates had been granted out of sixty-nine applications, the District Attorney added: "If you are going to have such ignorant criticism of the law from Judges, what can you expect from newspapers? "I am impressed with the importance of bringing the right men into public office." he &aid. in con clusion. "We seem to think that If we can get a new law we have achieved a reform; but no«stat ute. no matter how good, can be enforced unless you have the right public officers." The District Attorney said that when he went Into office he believed the grand jury should be abolished, but had come to the conviction that it should be kept as a balance wheel and aroused to a sense of its great duty. He said that he would always be a reformer, but a wiser one than he had been at one time. He referred to the Metropolitan Street Railway and Insurance investigations by raying it had been a source of gratification to him. when the public was clamoring about certain things, to have a grand Jury to whom he could ex plain his attitude. "Did the grand juries inquire into these things?" asked one of the diners. Yes." replied Mr Jerome, "about one-third of the grand Jurymen Inquired about all these things street railways. Insurance; the Police Department and public departments of various kinds." Mr Sulzbergcr recounted a story of a conversation with Mr. Jerome, in which the Distncf Attorney had said he could sea no violation of the law in cer tain evidence he bad taken in the insurance eases, and remarked th.it he supposed he would have to "take the gaff" for his opinion, but that any right minded man with backbone had to be prepared to do that. The speaker compared the criticisms of Mr. Jerome with those levelled at Grover Cleveland and Governor Hughes. There. was just this sug gestion of a wish for future honors for the guest of the evening when Mr. Sulzberger said: "Mr Jerome, we believed in you when we elected you the first time: we believed in you when we re elected you. and we believe in you now to-day." "So say we all of us!" sang the diners in chorus. Mr. Nicoll said that if the modern Idea of a grand Jury— that it should find indictment on any evidence or no evidence— was carried to its logical conclusion the time would come when both the grand Jury and the District Attorney would be abolished.

One of the con ditions is that a ride by night be taken in a balloon. Mr Harmon took his fir^t mghi sail in a swaying basket yesterday at North Adams. Mass. begin ning at - .-' i- m. The balloon was the North Adams No. L and was piloted by A. Holland Forbes, vice-president of the Aero Club. After remaining aloft a trifle over five hours the aero nauts descended on Buck's Hill, near Waterhury. Conn. "I h;ive the fever-got it bad. " said Mr Harmon last nlsht. "Ballooning by moonlight: I saw it. I felt it; but how can a man describe it?" Not long after we cut loose we were seven thousand feet tn the air. We moved in a southeasterly direction— and in a dream. We heard now and then the faint bark of a dog. It was cold, still and beautiful. rear was the furthest removed from the minds of both of us The moon shone, while we trav elled at the rate Of fifteen or sixteen miles an hour, and saying little, permitted our systems to become saturated with the sensations that the tim? and the ptacc an.! the moon inspired." • Mr. Harmon gave his aerial itinerary for the next week. "On Saturday I mean to balloon from Philadelphia with Captain Atherton." he said. "On next Wednesday 1 am going to tak<; another moon light trip from North Adam.-. On n-.xt Friday I shall accompany Charles J CHMdsa in his balloon from Springfield, and on the day following I shall go aloft in the Ben Franklin at Philadelphia. Cap tain Samuel A. King at the lift- line." Mr Harmon will be aid to Mr. Forbes in the bal loon race for the Lahm cup from Indianapolis on June 5. He meant to (jualify on that trip for a pilot's license. Then, be says, he will buy a dirigi ble balloon. COMPETITIVE TELEPHONES PROMISED.

A considerable increase in naval expenditure was to be expected again next year, as in the present state of mind In Europe It would be stupendous folly to refuse adequately to provide for defence. It would not be liberalism, but lunacy. He proposed to provide the necessary additional revenue as follows: By reducing the amount placed in the sinking fund by £3.(W.00\ and by a revision of the lr.come tax and estate duties. The tax on unearned incomes will be Increased 2d_ to Is. id. in the pound, and the tax on earned In comes over £2.C*> will be raised to Is. - Persons earning under MM a year have a special new abate ment of £10 for every child under sixteen years of age. On incomes exceeding ts.<») a year there is to be. a supertax of U. in the pound. It is esti mated that the extra yield from the income tax will be HJM ■ while the supertax is expected to bring in in a full year i 2.3. 3" >< >.•"»■»'. The Income from this source '.5 estimated for the current year, how ever, at or. GOfcOOO. Regarding the death duties the minimum and * maximum rates remain unchanged, but there •will be an increase in the intervening scale estimated to yield an additional revenue of £2.ss>Vi"Jft. It 13 calculated that a^revision of the legacy and suc cession duties will produce an additional revenue of £1.3T0.000. Another proposal is an increase on a sliding scale of the stamp duties on share transac tions, calculated to yield an extra £1.400.f100. The : alterations in the stamp duties Include the increase from 10 shillings, the present rate, to » shillings per cent on the transfers and sales of property, including the methods of disposing of property usually adopted with the object of escaping the death duties. There is a similar Increase in the rate for the transfer of "bearer" securities, except colonial and government issues, while the stamp duties on transfers of other stocks and shares are raised to sums varying from sixpence to 2 shillings. Two shillings will be charged for a transfer the aggregate value of which is between £3>» and £1.000. while : shillings more are added for every addi tional ajxo. The litjuor Utensil are increased, and from this source it is estimated that the additional revenue will amount to C.600.000. Another proposal is to tax land values an.i mineral royalties. It is esti mated that these will yield this year. £m<™ and increase annually. Tea and sugar remain un changed. The increase in The duties on spirits, with a customs excise of 45 pence a gallon, is ex pected to produce additional revenues of £l.SO\uiO. It is proposed ■■'--•' to increase the duty on manu factured tobacco from 3 shillings to a shillings and. 8 pence a pound, and Is make «r> equivalent addi tion to the duties on cigars, cigarettes and manu factured tobacco. Together these sources are ex pected to yield a total revenue of £1.900.000 a year. LEADER OF MOB KILLED. Brickyard Strike Results in Death of Italian. FishkiH. N Y.
