Telegram from the Porte to the Powers
in Which the willy Turks Claim That the
Armenians Are Responsible for All Re-
cent Disorders.
CoNsTANTNoPLE, Nov. s--A new Turk.
ish ministry has been formed, as follows:
Hall Rifat Pasha, grand vizier; Said Pa
sha, president of the council of state; Tew-
fix Pasha, minister of foreign affairs; Has
san Pasha, minister of marine; Ria Pa
sha, minister of war; Memduh Pasha, min
lister of the interior; Abdur Raimar Pasha,
minister of justice; Sabri Pasha, minister
of France; Arif Pasha, minister without
portfolio
Kiamil Pasha, the retiring grand vizier,
has been appointed vail of Aleppo.
Ria Pasha was minister of war in the
last cabinet; Hassan Pasha was minister
OF marine in the late ministry; Hall Rifat
Pasha is the ex-minister of the interior,
and Tewfik Pasha has just come here from
Berlin, where he was Turkish ambassador
to Germany Finally, Said Pasha was
minister of foreign affairs in the late cabi-
net and previously grand vizier.
Hall Rifat Pasha, the new grand vizier
OF Turkey, has the reputation of being an
able administrator. He has held numer-
GUS high posts and is aman of broad views,
judged from a Turkish standpoint.
The new grand vizier is expected to have
moderating influence between the Mus
sulmans and the Christians, but it is not
thought that he will be able to do any
thing of a remarkable nature at the pres
ent serious junoture of affairs in the Turk
ish empire.
1t is believed that the changes in the
Turkish ministry are intended to appease
Mahomedan disaffection, and are not a
demonstration against England, although
Kiamil Pasha, the outgoing grand vizier,
was the most pro English Of the pashas.
In an interview Said Pasha said he
could not claim that the Turkish admin
istration was not snow white, but it was
certainly not as black as it was painted.
The ministers, he said, were working hard
to carry out the scheme of reforms, and
counted upon England's generosity not to
increase the difficulties by encouraging
the revolutionary Armenians, who, instead
of being grateful for the concessions that
had been made, were in open revolt through
out Asia.
The sublime porte has sent the follow
ing telegram to the powers:
"All news concerning plots, threatening
letters and supposed dissatisfaction in
the ranks of the army and navy is inten-
tionally propagated by well known news
paper correspondents, affiliated with the
Armenian committee, to alarm public
opinion. AS for the often repeated asser-
tion of the intended determination of the
Armenians, it is too absurd to be contra
dicted. The efforts of the imperial govern
ment, on the contrary, to quell the revolt
of the Armenians and to resist their Grim
inal and bloody agitation
'The Armenian agitation at Diarbekir
was on the point of subsiding when the
Armenians began again their attacks upon
the Mussulmans by throwing bombs at
them, and by firing at the muezzins when
the latter were calling the faithful to
prayers. During the affray fifty Mussul-
mans and ninety Armenians were killed
and wounded
armenian rioters attacked the patrols
at Sivrik, killing "A few Mussulmans and
setting fire to the bazaar. Two hundred
Armenian revolutionists having at their
head Kevrok, chief of the parish Of Ferus
(Marash), attacked the village of Tchou-
kour Hissar and killed twelve Mussul-
mans. Some of the agitators were ar
rested, including part of the Armenian
brigands who captured Hadji Hassan
Oglous Husni.
"All news published as to the occur
renee of trouble at Adana, Tarsus and
Mersine, is absolutely without foundq-
| ton"
