the Sultan's thanks for the energetic
measures taken by the imperial authorities
in view OF the disturbances and revolts
which have broken out in certain provinces
of Asia Minor, which were due to the sedi-
tious intrigues Of Armenian agitators, and
which have been everywhere suppressed"

stored in all the districts which were re-
Gently the scenes OF riots and conflicts, and

The Times this morning publishes a letter
from Constantinople explaining the situa-
tion throughout the Turkish empire. The
writer says that owing TO the rigid censor
ship exercised by Turkish officials the lower
classes among the Turks quite ig-
norant. They believe that the Sultan inau-
gurated the policy OF oppression, but to
some extent. ii Is stated, the Armen.ans
believe the contrary. The Turks think the
ArmeAians will be treated as they were
twenty years ago, and besides this they en-
tertain the idea that the Armenians are un-
grateful. Thus a feeling OF hatred toward
the Armenians prevails and the ignorant
Turks really appear to fear being mas
sacred by the Armenians. The government
officials, according TO this letter, are direct
that II is the duty of the people TO Kill and
plunder the Armenians. There Is no reason
able hope that any Improvement will take
place through change OF public opinion.
Turks and Christians alike seem doomed
TO endure such scenes of unspeakable suf-
fering as marked the Roman empire.
The Paris Figaro this morning announces
that three French war ships have left
Cannes for Turkish waters, prepared to
cope with any emergency.
