aid. The missionaries said full protection
was afforded them by the Turkish author
tiles when demanded from the porte by
Mr., Terrell. The latter is now satisfied
that the l72 missionaries in Anatolia are
safe.
Definite Information has been received
here that the missionaries attached 10 the
station at Kharput have left that point
under escort for Constantinople.
There is no doubt efforts are being made
TO maintain order in the districts where
disturbances are threatened, and to sup
press disorders where outbreaks have oc-
CURED. Al danger is not past, however.

conduct Will be inquired into.
The main question now being discussed
between the porte and the representatives
OF the powers is the demand Of Great Brit
ain. Italy, Russia and Austria for ilrmans
for the passage through the DardaneIles

ting that the powers possess the 1isht 10
have two guardships each in the BoSpor-
us. the porte considers that the proposed
Increase OF the number of foreign war yes
sells there might, under the present condi-
tions excite the Mussulmans and produce
an effect far from the one desired by the
mowers In addition, the porte points out
that in view of the measures taken 10

number OF guardshps attached 10 the en-
bassies Is not required. 1t can be said
ur.on good authority that this is the sub
