CONSTANTINOPLE, March 12.-—A
despairing cry of "i can hold out only
for another week,"_ is alleged to have
been uttered by Shukri Pasha. the
Turkish commander of the Fortress
of Adrianople, which has held out for
so many months against the terrible
bombardment 'by the Bulgarian and
.Servian troops surrounding the city.
Shukrl Pasha, it is asserted, in-
formed the Ports that Adrianople was
nearing the end of its supplies of food
and ammunition, and that; there is
much sickness, espeCtally scurvy and
diarrhoea, among the defenders.
The commander urges that either
the peace negotiations should the has-
tened in order to save the fortress
from the humiliation of capitulation
lleve the city should be undertaken
from the Tchatalja lines. The Turk-
ish Ministry is divided in opinion on
bite matter.
The torment aroused by the murder
oi! the late Nazim Pasha continues to
threaten internal trouble in Turkey.
At a servide held here in memory of
the former popular commander-in-
chlet of the Turkish Army, the oili-

as on those who had deceived the
