More Arrests In Turkey.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 16, 1913:
Army Remains Quiet — Warships Reassure Foreigners at Constantinople.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    CONSTANTINOPLE, June 15.— The Government is making wholesale arrests, in order to stamp out the revolutionary plot believed to be associated with the murder of Chefket Pasha. The chief leader of the plot is said to have escaped by an Italian steamer.
    At present there is no indication of the intentions of that part of the Tchatalja army hostile to the Government, but it is hoped that it will refrain from taking any extreme measures, out of fear of bringing about an international occupation of Constantinople.
    The presence of foreign warships has had a reassuring effect upon the foreign population.

    CONSTANTINOPLE, June 15.— A son of Kiamil Pasha, ex-Grand Vizier, was arrested to-day, charsed with being implicated in the assassination of Mahmoud Chefket Pasha.
