Cavalcade at the Ottoman Camp Near Persia Frontiers
In Constantinople dated July 31, the grand cavalcade celebrates led horses and harnesses as Sultan plans three to four weeks in camp before troops move toward the Persian frontiers to fight Prince Thomas. An ambassador from Schach Thomas of Persia claims the throne, and a treaty cedes Hamadan and nearby towns in exchange for Persian favor. Military updates report 70,000 Persian troops pre-Hamadan, with Ottoman forces ordered to Africa-bound departures and armament shipments.
