considers urgent.
Mr.. Graves. the British Consul at Erzeroum.
has forwarded to the Foreign Office through Sir
Philip Wodehouse Carrie. the British Ambas-
sador TO Turkey a statement In which he urges
the Government not to pu; off interfering in the
Armenian affair until the report OF the European
Commission appointed to inquire into the CrcIm-
stances of the outrages shall have been pre-
sented as that report will necessarily be delayed

tiOn is advisable. Lord Kimberley. upon receipt
Of Mr. Gravcs's COmmuni cation. at once COM
municated with the French Foreign Office. with
the result that IL has finally been agreed 10 IN
struct the French and Russian Consuls AZ Err
zeroum to Join Mr. Graves and start without de-
lay upon their mission of inquiry. Mr. Graves
calculates that II his colleagues IN the connis-
sion ready they can reach the scene of the
atrocities within ten days. there being only one
difficult pass for them to cross on the route by
way OF Melasgerd. which they will be obliged TO
make with pack mules
The Foreign Office denies that the appoint
ment on this special commission OF only the Brit
ish. French and Russian consuls implies that
special entente has been established between
the three Powers mentioned, and says they were
appointed because they were the only European
Consuls at Erzeroum.
The Speaker" In an article on the Armenian
situation. supports the proposal that immediate
action be taken by the Powers. and advises the
creation of a force OF gendarmes ofiicered by
Europeans. The paper declares that II the Sui
tan Of Turkey had given Milo A. Jewett the
United States consul at Sivas. Asiatc Turkey
the necessary facilities for making investiga-
tiOn into the outrages and presenting trust
well and speedily accomplished. as no man could
be found better qualified for the undertaking.
Athens Dec. l5.-A number Of refugees from
Armenia have arrived here. According TO their
statements the situation there IS even worse
than has been described. They report that many
outrages have been committed, involving hun
dreds Of peasants. Of which no account has hith-
erto reached the news centres of Europe. ON
November IA Bakr Pacha the Kurdish Governor
of Van devastated the district Il Erdjekl. which
contains sixteen villages. The villages OF Bohaz

many excesses were committed. one hundrei
and twenty-six Armenian peasants were taken
prisoners and tortured. and finally lodged in the
prison at Van on the ground that they were In
