TAKE CAPITAL W BlooDy BATTLE Tovctnnia Are Slain in Fight Between Young Turks . and Loyal Troops. ———_ SULTANS FORCES SURRENDER s Latest Estimates of Number Killed in| *5!¢eP- Massacres in Asiatic Turkey Exceed 25,000. Constantinople, April 27—Constan- tinople is now completely in the hands of the Young Turks. The constitu- tional forces attacked the city at dawn Saturday, and their advance was contested by the garrisons in the vicinity of the imperial palace. The fighting rageq fiercely for several hours and ended in victory for the Qonstitutionalists. The number of casualties probably will never be known, but it is estimated far into the thousands. Sultan’s Troops Surrender. The Yildiz garrison surrendered yesterday to the Constitutionalist forces. Commanders of these battal- ions began sending in their submis- sion to Mahmoud Schefket Pasha Sat- urday night, and the whole of the troops protecting the palace gave their formal and unconditional surren- der shortly after dawn. Niaci Bey, called the hero of the July revolution, is now in command of the garrison. Sultan Abdul Hamid has been per- mitted to remain within the walls of the Pildiz kiosk, where Saturday, in company with his ministers, he wait- ed for the outcome of the struggle be- tween his loyal troops and the army of investment, each hour bringing to him word of a fresh disaster. Losses Are Heavy. It has been Stated, since victory rested with the Constitutionalists, that the sultan himself gave orders to his men not to resist. Whether this is true, it can be safely said of the troops within the capitol that they put up a stubborn resistance at all points, and losses on both sides were exceed- " ingly heavy for the length of time the engagement was fn progress. A representative of the Soaniientiar in-chief of the Constitutionalist forces is authority for saying that the sultan will be dealth with by the parliament and that there will be an adequate in- quiry into the sovereign’s alleged complicity in the recent mutiny. Up to the present the ministry hag not been dissolved, but Constantinople and a number of other places have been declared In a State of Siege. Martial Jaw prevails, and while there is some uneasiness among the people, order has been maintained with a strict hand. Following Satur- #|day’s terrific fighting, the city took ‘ton an aspect of strange quiet toward jevening. There was some fear that ; |there would be further fighting in the |night, as the forces of Gen. Schefket , | were strongly posted close to the pal- ace. But beyond a few scattering shots there was nothing to disturb the peace of the city. The evacuation of the quarters around the Yildiz kiosk began early in the morning. Soldiers of the garrison were made prisoners, and their places were taken by Macedonian battalions. Over 25,000 Killed. Beirut, April 27, — The situation in Asiatic Turkey is one of extreme gravity. How many thousands have been massacred cannot even be esti- mated. because disturbances have been so widespread that it is impos- sible to obtain details of happenings in the last ten days. Latest estimates of the number killed in the villayet of Adana reaches approximately 25,000, and thousands have been slain in towns of other districts. The state of siege which several places are under- going has brought inhabitants to the verge of starvation. Each day brings tales of further atrocities and the depths of misery and despair to, which savagery of fanatics has brought the people. Frantic Appeals for Help. One of the missionaries at Alexan- dretta, Mr. Kennedy, with 450 Turk- ish troops, has gone to the relief of Deurthul, where 10,000 people within the walls are besieged by immense throngs of Kurds and Circassians. Confirmation has been received of the burning of the Armenian village of Kessab. All the men and many women and children have been slain. A British warship has been ordered from Alexandretta to Suediah, where conditions have become worse. All the property of the Christians at Dje- bal Bersket has been destroyed. Re- ports state that Hadjin, in the villayet of Adana, is on fire. There are five American women quartered here. Frantic appeals for food are coming in from all sections. Beirut is quiet.

New Orleans, April 27.—Hight peo- ple were lost and eight others on board had. a_ thrilling escape from death when the towboat Eagle of the Louisiana Petroleum company, went down early yesterday in the Missis- sippi river, forty miles south of New Orleans. The accident occurred at 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning and at the time all those who perished were Without seeming reason the boat began to dip and take water, and in an instant was going down, breaking in half as it sank. No Time for Warning. Without opportunity of giving warn ing to their deck were thrown into the swift current of the deep channel. They succeeded in catching hold of objects washed from the boat and managed to stay afloat until they attracted attention from shore, The sinking of the Eagle is a mys- tery. There was no explosion. At the time the Eagle was conveying an oil barge up the river, The barge broke away from the towboat when the lat- ter sank. The Eagle was a stern-wheel boat. At the point where it went down the river is about 100 feet deep. ROOSEVELT BAGS SOME GAME Breaks Camp and Starts for Pease Ranch on Athi River. Nairobi, East Africa, April 27. — After a brief huniing expedition Sat- urday evening at Kapiti Plains, Col. Roosevelt and his party broke camp and started for the ranch of Sir Al- fred Pease, on the Athi river, yester- day. An old settler, who seemed to take a liking to Kermit, offered to show him a likely place for good sport. They succeeded in bringing down one buck. Col. Roosevelt's first hunt, favored by fine weather, was enjoyed im- mensely. He bagged two wildebeests and a Thompson gazelle. The hunt lasted several hours and all were well tired out when they re- turned to camp. Smallpox is prevalent at Nairobi and two cases have developed among porters at Tahiti. These have been quarantined and the strictest precau- tions are being observed. The dan- ger is considered slight. The police still maintain their measures for the protection of the ‘Americans from annoyance. They will not permit any except those des- ignated by Col. Roosevelt to go with the expedition. MAY OUST CENSUS DIRECTORS Trouble Between Secretary Nagle and | Director North—Office Investigated. Washington, April 27. — S. N. D. North, director of the census, has been made the subject of an investi- gation by Secretary Nagel, which probably will result in a new director being appointed to take the next cen- sus. The matter has gone so far, it is said, that a new director has been agreed upon. nounced however, does not confirm this re- port. ~ The chief trouble, it was learned, is that there is a great friction between Director North and Secretary Nagel, which is said to amount practically to insubordination. As one of the offi- cials put it yesterday: “The simple question is, who is boss —Nagle or North.” President Taft last night summoned Secretary Nagle and Director North to the White House for an important conference, which lasted neatly three hours. No information was given out regarding the conference. ONE DROWNS; TWO JUST ESCAPE Columbia Student Loses Life When Canoe Upsets.
