MADERO challenged his supremacy by up- holding a constitution which, however promising it looked on paper, had little real value as an instrument of government, and Diaz having fed from the vengeance of his many enemies, the new PRESIDENT tried to put his principles-pedantic in the circumstances into practice.

LONDON, May 21st,

The situation in Albanin is clearing

somewhat.

The Prince, suspecting that Essad Fasha, who has been largely increasing his personal bodyguard and his following generally, was playing a double game, sent gendamas under Dutch offers with quick-firers to arrest him. Essad Pasha was eventually handed over to the Austrian and Italian naval commanders, who, meanwhile, at the instance of the Prince, landed a considerable force, which is now guarding the palace.
