LONDON, ENG, Nov. 24-The repre-
sentative of The United Press in Constan-
tinople, telegraphing under date of yester-
day, says that advices from MOrsovan
bearing date of November p show that
the American college at that place is now
carefully protected by the authorities, q
condition of affairs that is no doubt due to
the energetic representations that have
been made to the Porte by the Hon. a. W.
Terrell, the American Minister, who has
been indefatigable in his attempts to Sc
cure the safety of American citizens and
their property wherever located in Turkish
dominion.
The representative of The United Press
adds that he has received adVices from
Erzeroum, dated November 16, which show
that the promise made 5v the authorities
to return to the Armenians as much as
possible Of the property they lost during
the troubles there is of no value whatever,
no attempts being made to keep it. The
Governor says that the supply of bread
that is daily given to the 5000 persons who
would otherwise starve must be stopped
before long. Should this supply be cut off
there would be many persons who would
die from actual starvation, as they have no
means of procuring food for themselves.
Sarkis, the naturalized American, who
was thrown into prison near Erzeroum
some time ago. is still deprived OF his lib
erty, but Simonjan has been released on
the demand of Minister Terrell.
a mum Der of outrages have been perpe
trated on the inhabitants OF Sehilkaui for
giving testimony against the Governor,
who has threatened to SOW the site of the
town with barley.

rell referred in his warning to the Porte
that Turkey would be held responsible
should a hair on the head of an American
be harmed, has been removed from Office.
