National Assembly has agreed to a state of siege being declared in Constantinople, with the object of facilitating arrests and enabling trials by court-martial. The idea of Moslems fighting Moslems is producing a deep impression, and is likely to lead to further troubie. 'The defenders of the Yildiz Kiosk state that the Sultan personally advised them not to resist the Salonikans, who are in possession of the Yildiz barracks. At midday on Sunday the mutineers guilty of abuse of the white flag were summarily shot. Their treachery resulted in the death of Mukhtau Bey and 15 Salonikans. Enver_ Pasha, who commanded in the Taxim district, admits that the attackers lost 7 officers and 200 men. The Taxim body of mutineers, avoiding the Salonikans' left flank, escaped north towards Tlierapia. The rest were disarmed and have been interned in the War Office at Stamboul.
