EXCITEMENT IN ALEPPo, SMYRNA AND CoNsrANTG-
NoPLE-FEARs OF AN OUTBREAK AT THE CAPITOL.
Correspondence Of the London Times
CoNsTANTINoPLE, July 25.- By
the last accounts from Aeppo it appears that great
excitement prevailed Murders in the street were
OF frequent occurrence, and there reason to ap-
prehend an outbreak at any moment.
In Smyrna, too, mems minds have been moved
by the occurrences at Damascus, and each of the
Consuls has written to his own Government re-
questng that vessel of war may be placed on the
station The Mussuman population of Smyrna
amounts to about Al, 900 souls. The Christians are
some lOO,OOO in number. Of the latter nearly
three-ourths are Greeks, and these seem to be the
only source of anxiety. They have been buying
arms and ammunition, and although this was, in
its origin, merely defensive measure, it is
thought possible that it may assume another char
acter, as the possession of weapons of offence shall
increase the consciousness of their own power in
the minds of the Greeks. The massacre of Chios
has not vet been forgotten.
Even here, in Constantinople, the probability of
rising of the Mussulman people has formed the
staple of conversation during the last few days
There are doubtless reasons why every precaution
should be taken, and Ministers appear fully awake
to the fact In the Fanar and at Ayoub strong pa
trolls of troops have been going their rounds during
the last two nights. The same course has been
adopted at Kadikeui, and believe at Scutari also
do not believe that any alarm should really exist,
but every street row is exaggerated into a collision
between the Turkish police troops and the Chris
tians. Throughout yesterday it was said that arms
and powder were being eagerly bought up, and that
there was none of the latter article to be had for
love or money. To test the accuracy of this,
walked into shop in the High street of Pera this
morning, and asked for some. Several different
qualities were at once produced, and | possessed
myself of pound case of Curtis and Harvey at the
usual price.
The Constantnople correspondent of the New
York World writes on the oath ult.
On Saturday last, the American residents here
received further notice from their Minister that the
greatest caution was necessary to be observed as
affairs here were in very troubled state, and an
outbreak might occur at any time.
On Sunday, under the pressure of outside influ
ences, the Armenia Patriarch went to Hasskey to
quiet the outbreak there. He preached to the peo-
pie in the Armenian church of the quarter and ex
horted them to be quiet and to go about their bust
ness. But the mob outside so violent that he
did not dare to leave the church without police
force to protect him. The mob cried out "YOu
stirred us up, you urged on, and now you say be
quiet and go home. We won't be quiet or go home
unless you pay us for all the time we have LOST
Since Sunday have heard of no serious outbreaB
anywhere in the city; but it cannot be denied that
all classes in most excited state. You need
be surprised to hear of still serious trou
bles.
