OUR WARSHIPS ARE A REO FUG TO TURKS And Their Government Hopes They Will Depart. MAY FORCE THE SULTAN The Sentiments of His Moslem Subj c's for War With Bulgaria—Later Re-ports Say the Brawl at Beirut Was Precipitated by Moslems. (By the Asosciated Press.) London, Sept. 9.—The official and press reports from here today emphasize the seriousness of the situation and confirm the belief of the authorities that owing to the general irrigation throughout Euro pean and Asiatic Turkey' toward the Christians, as a result of the Macedonian revolt, the Sultan may be swept by the uncontrollable sentiments of his Ottoman subjects into a war with Bulgaria, de spite the unwillingness of the Porte to precipitate such a conflict. The Turkish officials express gratification at the Rus sian-Austraian proposal for coercive dip lomatic action on the part of the powers at Sofia. They are confident it will be acceded to by France, but whether it is auopted or not the Sultan's hand has al ready been greatly strengthened, as he is in a better position to act than hith erto. There is no question in official circles here that the Porte will take energetic measures to suppress any trouble at Bei rut. The announcement is made of the arrival at Beirut of Nazim Pasha, the Yali of Syria is expected by the Turkish; officials promptly to restore order. That the task is difficult is shown by the fact that there havejjpen further riot at Bei rut. France may order warships to that point to protect her interests but Ger many has asserted that she will not do so Great 'Britain, whose missionary interests in Syria are practically nil. has not as yet sent any vessels to Beirut, relying upon the American warships to protect their consulates. The Turkish embassy issued another statement today, declaring that the re ports of the massacre emanate from the Bulgarian side and are purposely exagger ated in the hope of securing European in tervention. It reiterates disbelief in the seriousness of the Beirut situation and adds: “The Turkish government, therefore, hopes the American warships will depart as speedily as possible, as their presence only tends to incite the people. From Constantinople the embassy' is informed that there is no reason for the assembling of the American ships at Beirut.” Consular Reports of the Biot at Beirut (By the Asosciated Press.) Constantinople. Sept. 9. —oCnsular ac counts received here from Beirut totally differ from the Turkish government’s ver sion of the recent outbreak there. hTe Vali of Beirut was not on board the Unit ed States flagship Brooklyn when the first brawl occurred, but was in the country. Contrary to the official version the con sular dispatches say the Mussulmans first attacked the Christians and the troops which intervened sided with the Mussul mans. One of the pillaged houses belong ed to a French citizen. Though there has been no further disturbance at Beirut since Sunday, great uneasiness, amounting almost to a panic prevails among the Christians, many of whom have left Beirut and sought refuge in Lebanon. The foreign consuls at Beirut met on Bonday and decided to make serious rep resentations to the local authorities looking to the preservation of order. They also decided to telegraph to their respective ambassadors or ministers at oCnstanti nople. demanding the recall of the incom petent Vali of Beirut and requesting that warships be sent for the protection of the Europeans. Nazim Pasha, Vali of Syria, was order ed from Damascus to Beirut, where he j arrived yesterday. The Porte announes that Nazim Pasha was sent to Beirut with two battalions of troops to take temporary charge of af fairs there. The Vali of Beirut, it is also announced, has not been deprived of his authority, but he will “probably remain inactive at his post’’ during the stay of Nazim Pasha at Beirut. While the rioting was in progress, the Beirut advices further state, an appeal was made to Rear Admiral Cotton to land ma rine, but he replied that he could not in tervene in a quarrel among Ottoman jeets. Several of the diplomats here drew the serious attention of the Porte on Monday to the situation at Beirut, demanding that measures he taken to prevent a fur ther outbreak and insisting on the recall of the Vali, who was in office when the outbreak occurred. The Porte intends to concentrate 50,000 to 70,000 troops at Adrianople. It is said that two thousand insurgents have been surrounded at Kirk-Kilisreh, thirty-two miles from Adriabople, and official circles here momentarily expect news of their surrender or annihilation. Notwithstanding the large number of troops concentrated at Adrianople. the regiment of Hamidieh Cavalry, to which the Sultan presenter colors September 4, will leave here this evening for Adrian ople. It is alleged that the dispatch of these troops can only have one meaning, namely, massacres in which the Kurds are destined to play the same part as the Circassians did before the Rusos-Turkish war. Sixty battalions of Redifs on a war foot ing are awaiting .at the different moboli zation centers in Anatolia, ready to start at a moment’s notice. CSiZED BY WHISKEY.
