REFUGEES' STORIES. "TURKISH SOLDIERS’ TOMB.” United Press Association. (Reecived noon.) Rome, July 19.
The Giornale d‘ltalia states that th;> refugees bring alarming news of the Ottoman situation. The troops at Adrianople revolted, refusing to go to Constantinople, which they call “The Turkish Soldiers’ Tomb.” and Enver Pasha was summoned to restore order. A plot was discovered against Enver Pasha, as the result of which fifty officers and > soldiers were shot on Thursday without trial. Anarchy reigns in Constantinople. Private houses were requisitioned for the wounded, the price of bread was inflated, and coal was scarce, hindering navigation, while there was a shortage of doctors and medical requisites. The persecution of Armenians and foreigners continues. The Committee of Union and Progress, seeing the impending ruin, is sending emissaries to Egypt, Tunis and libya for the purpose of fomenting crime.
