Hussein Hilmi Pasha, GovernorGeneral of Macedonian Palayets, assured a London Times interviewer that the Porte considered the Albanian question settled. Only a small and ignorant faction were concerned in the revolt. .Twenty thousand troops are now massed round Mitrovitza and are able to overawo malcontents. He hoped to show within three months that the proposed reforms were in progress. Foreign diplomats consider Hilmi too optimistic and hold the only solution of the trouble to be complete disarmament and the military occupation of Albania. London, April 15. Well authenticated reports state that murders, pillage, incendiarism, and atrocities of every description occur daily in the Balkans, committed alike by soldiers, Albanians, Turks, and Bulgarians.
