constantinople. Nov. 1.-THE lawlessness Of
ne Kurds in the Eastern provinces has grown
measuraby since the demands for reforms were
made on the Sultan by Great Britain. France
and Russia. The Sutan's evident inclination to
refuse 10 grant the demands, or at least to defer
giving a definite to the representatives
OF the Powers. encouraged the Kurds to believe
that the Sultan tacitly supported them in their
attacks the Armenians Color has been lent
70 this belief by the action Of the Sultan in giving
COED service decorations 20 several officials who
VIGOROUSLY In favor Of eXterminating the
Armenians. and who gave their sanction to the
massacres which have led Turkey TO the verge
Of dsmemberment. The Kurds have assumed
such an attitude Of disregard to all authority
that II is believed here that the officials are now
powerless to stop them from continuing their
massacres and rCbberies.
News from the Eastern provinces shows that
the condition Of anarchy Is such that strong
force will have to be employed if any progress
IS TO be made. The Porte apparently under
10000 troops will be sent against the Kurds.
Should the latter offer resistance II is doubtful.
II even this force would be sufficiently strong
TO cope with the Kurds. whose intimate knowl-
edge Of the mountainous country would stand
them in good stead in opposing the Turkish
troops.
In spite of the bad financial condition Of the
Government. which is now in arrears in the pay
OF the reserves already called out. 1t has been
decided to summon more Of the reserves for
service 1t is doubtful If the Governments
scheme can be effected. owing to the scarcity Of
money, but the attemp; will be made. owing
to the continued demands of the Powers that
the Porte restore order forthwith.
WHOLE DISTRICTS DEVASTATED.
STOKES Of the ravages committed by the Kurds
continue to be received here 1t is said that in
Erzeroum and Sivas whole districts have been

fathers and brothers haarbeen killed and that
there were no men of their race who could save
them from either dishonor or death
The revolt OF the Druses in Hauran Is assuni-
ing a most serious aspect. The agitation
against the authorities is extending. and the
rebels are gaining maay accesslons
An oNfcial dispatch which has been made pub
lie says that thanks TO the energetic measureu
taken by the imperial officials, the disturbances
and revolts which occurred in certain provinces
or Asia minor. and which had their origin in the
seditious intrigues of Armenian agitators. have
been everywhere suppressed and order restored
in all the districts which were recently the scene
Of riots and conflicts Measures have been
ken m a q maintained.
NEW HoNORs FOR BAHRI PACHA.
II is said that Bahr Pacha will be appointed
10 the command of the troops in the Zeitoun dis
trict. Bahri Pacha was formerly Vail Of Van,
but dismissed from that office in conse-
Quence Of the representations made by Sir Philip
Currie. the British Amba ssador, that he was In
@ large degree responsible for the outrages COM
nitted on the Armenians in that district That
his removal made against the inclination
OF the Sultan is a matter Of common knowledge.
and the Sultan took the earliest opportunity to
show that he approved of his acts as Vail. A
day so ago Bahri was decorated by the Sui
tan for the good services he had rendered TO the
Government. and now comes the evidently we'll
founded report that an important command Of
troops nomnay employed to protect the Ar
menanS Will be given TO him.
