Full Text
The territory of Turkey is divided into the immediate and mediate possessions of the Sultan, the former being under pashas or governors appointed directly by the Turkish government, and the latter acknowledging his paramount authority and paying tribute, but governed by their own officers, whose selection, however, to be valid must be approved by the Sultan.
Herzegovina is an almost independent province of the Turkish empire, nominally forming a part of the pashalic of Bosnia, which comprises, besides Bosnia proper and Herzegovina, Turkish Croatia. The tribes who inhabit the regions of the revolt are fierce and warlike, and the revolt seems to be so general that it may be doubted whether it can be suppressed by any ordinary army.
Turkey has a bankrupt treasury and an imperfectly organized military department. She is likely to stand alone in this contest, as Russia has an interest in it, and would not take kindly any foreign intervention in behalf of Turkey.

Event Details
It appears from late cable dispatches that affairs in the Christian provinces of Turkey have become more serious. The revolution that began in Herzegovina has spread into Croatia and Bosnia. The territory of Turkey is divided into the immediate and mediate possessions of the Sultan, the former being under pashas or governors appointed directly by the Turkish government, and the latter acknowledging his paramount authority and paying tribute, but governed by their own officers, whose selection, however, to be valid must be approved by the Sultan. Herzegovina is an almost independent province of the Turkish empire, nominally forming a part of the pashalic of Bosnia, which comprises, besides Bosnia proper and Herzegovina, Turkish Croatia. The tribes who inhabit the regions of the revolt are fierce and warlike, and the revolt seems to be so general.
