| London, Nov. "a constantinople
! dispatch to the Times says that the
1 diplomats there appear less confident of
carrying their point as TO the admission
of a second guardship of each of the
| powers into the Dardanelles.
The sultan seems 10 consider, the
| correspondent continues. that the fact
| that such a small concession is demand
ed proves that the powers are not In
agreement on the subject and that he
| is, therefore, safe in refusing the fir
mans. Should the sultan,s opposition
prevail, Christians and foreigners Will
be placed in a position OF great danger.
said Pasha again visited all the am

| the sultan to dissuade them from insist
| ing upon the admission of the second
guardship.
Sir Philip Currie, the British en-
bassador, had a private audience with
the sultan today, lasting two hours.

FLOCKING TO VAN.
The Times also publishes a dispatch
dated Julia, Persia, which says:
Many Armenian villages between
the Persian borders and the city Of Van
have been destroyed by the Hamiedieh
cavalry. They probably number forty
six, although the refugees give the
names of many more. 1t is impossible
to obtain any reasonable estimate OF
those, but all reports say that ii is very
large. The refugees are mostly going
to the city of Van, where il is feared a
masacree viii soon take place. Cannon
have been trained on the Armenian
houses and the trees in the streets have
been cut down so as TO give the cannon
free range All reports agree that the
HaIniedieh cavalry are raiding the en-
tire province of Van with horrible
atrocities. Many women have been car
ried off TO the mountains. The city Of
Van is the only place left untouched by
the Kurds, who are carrying off guam
titles of sheep and cattle from the de-
stroyed villages. The entire population
OF the Village of Jurtalon, numbering
200, have been killed. The Hamiedieh
cavalry also attacked the Persian vii
lage of KotOmr, but were repulsed by
the garrison of the fort. The Turkish
regulars waited outside ready to join
in the plunder. The cavalry then de-
stroyed another small Persian village.
Armed bands of Armenian patriots are

Van. a band of these from Salmar
fought the Hamiedieh cavalry for two
days near Serai. Many persons We're
killed on both sides. when the cavalry
withdrew and plundered and destroyed
Serai. Many HISTORIANS in the Bash
kolla district are reported killed"
IT MEANS DIFFERENTIATION.
The Vienna correspondent OF the
Standard says the sultan's refusal OF
the firmans for the passage of the
guardships through the Dardanelles is
due to his knowledge of temporary
disuniOn amongst the powers which, IL
is added. has now been removed.
This correspondent also quotes the
Constantinople dispatch TO the Poliu-
sche, which accuses Lord Salisbury of
breach Of courtesy in reading the sui
tan's letter To him in public.
The Daily News correspondent says:
''AH the powers remain united and re-
fused the porte's request for a with
drawal of the demands for the passage
Of the additional guardships.
