Miniater Terrell Frightens the Porte Into
Sending Troops.
A sensation has been caused at CONSTANT
nople by the report. generally believed to be
correct. that three Armenian noiabilities OF
Trebizond, including a prominen, eccI esiastic,
are to be executed on the ground that they
are responsible for the recent rioting there.
In view OF the critical situation OF affairs,
the United States ambassador, Mr.. Terrell,
has advised the American missionaries to
withdraw temporarily from Sassoun.
AT the same time, Mr.. Terrell has notified
the Turkish government that the United
States will hold 1t responsible for the lives OF
the American missionaries. The United
States ambassador has taken firm stand in
the matter, and nothing will be left undone
which will in any way insure the safety oi
the missionaries.
The British Charge d'Affairs, NJ Herbert.
has made representations to the Porte OF n
nature identical with those of Mr. Terrell.
The result Is that the government has decided
10 send troops 10 protect the missionaries.
According TO statements made in Atmenia an
circles. about 500 Armenians were killed dur.
ing the lighting at Pitlis with the Turks The
loss Of the latter Is said TO be triiling.

Prince Wong chi Chuan TO ST. Petersburg
about which so much has been said recently,
was solely undertaken with the object OF con.
graduating the ear upon his accession to the

ENGLISH SUBJECT KILLED.
Tie Opportunity Great Britain Has
Longed For.

The dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela has assumed a new phase In con.
sequence Of the killing Of Thomas Garcia. a
British sui ject, by Filberi, the commander of
"a Venezuelan coast guard ship. Garcia was
owner Il the schooner Myosotis, and was
making trip from Port OF Spain, Trinidad.
10 MargaTita. when the coast guard vessel
overhnuled her. Mr. Garcia displayed the
British colors, but Filbert fired into his
schooner and killed him. The Myosotis WAS
taken into Corupano and searched, but was
released when nothing contraband was found
on board. II Is expected that the shooting Of
Garcia will give England the coveted oppor-
tunity OF demanding repara,ion from Vene-
zuela without provoking any interference
from the Unired States on the ground OF the
Monroe doctrine.
