The following description of life in Constantinople was supplied to The Times by a correspondent who succeeded recently in entering the Turkish capital and in oscaping again to Europe after a stay of some weeks, The weiter, who is well acquainted with Constantinople, is an observer of tomidorable experience, whose accuracy of judgment has been repeatedly proved in other theatres of war.

All regular means of communication with the outside world have been suspended CHINA COAST METEOROLOGICAL The postal, telephone, and telegraph sorrices have been monopolized by the Government. This means that they aro paralysed. We have to be satisfied with our lives in an ignorance which, to judge by outward appearances, the great majori. ty of Constantinopolitans consider bliss ful

The newspapers boast of the splendid political and military position of Turkey "Our diplomacy has again made us one of the Great Powers of Europe," says the Tanin; "our army will restore to the Ottoman Empire the prestige of the most glorious period of its glorious past.

The ruling clique and the Germans fear that the population will hold them responsible for the final ruin of Turkey. Nothing is said, but every day a few families of Turks belonging to the party in power leave Constantinople for Asia. Every day a few German families depart by the only train for Adrianople; and no new families come to replace them.
