File No. 10044/169.
Ambassador Leishman to the Secretary of State.
Pera, April 29, 1909.
Mr. Leishman says now that good order has been restored in capital, troops are being hurried to disturbed provinces, and that the thorough manner in which the reestablished constitutional Government is taking hold of things encourages the belief that the trouble in the Adana and Alexandretta districts will soon disappear. He says martial law will probably be continued for another week or two as a necessary measure, and that trials of offenders are rapidly proceeding and ordinary business is being resumed everywhere. Mr. Leishman adds that the Sultan has been taken to Salonica.
