DANIA SI'AP OF PAPER. B11ILT. ISI.STND Fklm. Constantinople, Nov. 'i.-The Nation aMist .gov'ernmient' is in control of Con stantinopile. -taefel Pasha is the new governor( andilamiid Hey, the represen tative of the Angora government, has ordered I lie allied troops out In a note, to the 1Fntente lie demlianids evac Iation of the allied forces. Tie Turks have torn up tihe MudanIia al-Ilistice convention and are advanc Ing into the Chanak area, occupied by the lBrit(ish, and other neutral zones. An allied extraordinary council de c(ided tonight to reftise categorically the national demand for the allied mil itary evacuation of Constantinople. The landing of allied or American sailors from the warships will not be permitted unless by se)cial .permission of the Angora government. This pro nounceiment is made In one of two addi tional notes which Illaiid Hey handed to the.allied commissioners'tonight. The first note deals with tie visit to Kemalist ports of eight allied and American warships and declares the port authorities have been instructed not to permit a landing. In accordance with maritime laws the Turks request that these vessels salute the Turkish flag. The other note sets IIp a claim for the immediate handing over to the An gora government of the Turkish rail ways in Turope and Asia which are un der temporary allied control. Since noon Saturday the nationalist administration is declared to have been established and in celebration of this ra'ses of excited Tiriks have been engaged in disorders. Students march ed .against the palace and riotous mohs engaged in such manifestations that it became necessary for the allied 'pollce to fkie on theit, several of the Turks being .killed or wounded; 'The Christians in thv Stamboul quar ter throughout S-iturday niAht were seeking sholter and protection from what they plainly feared--a Turkish massacre. Today, however, the government au thorities issued orders that all dis turiances should be rigorously put down. The allied high commissioners aedcep)ted the new regine and there was nothing loft for the Sultan's min 16ters but resignation from office. Towfilk, the grano visier, realizing his poW had disappearedi, dispatched messaes to the representatives of the - u-blime Porte In the various capitals to transfer their archives to the rep resentatives of the Angora govern Ment. -Thei seemed danger for a time that the radical forces would gain the u-pper lhand. The Sultan was denounced, to gether with monarchy, and Mustapha K~emaj Pasha was acclaimed as "our * Iieident," it Abecame necessary to throw guards of troops around the SulI tan's pialace, within- which Mohammed *I, nlow Calph only, is spending fear *Jtil .hours.
