DJUIFA, Russia, May 30.-Copyright
ed, 1895, by the Associated Press.--The
special correspondent of the Associated
Press who is investigating the situation
in Armenia has furnished the following
correspondence:
The Turkish government is taking
prompt measures TO prevent the uprls-
ing OF the Armenian revolutionists next
month. All roads leading from Persia
to Van have been closed by order of the
Turkish government the intention be-
ing to shut off communication between
the revolutionary leaders in Persia and
Their agents i'll Armenia. The last cara
van that tried to get through to Van
was seized by Turkish officials.
The seizure of the caravan to Van
has caused no end of CONSERVATION to
the Armenian revolutionists in Persia
as this action seriously interferes with
some of their important arrangements.
However, they assure me that other
roads through the mountains will be
found and That the work will go steadi-
ly forward.
WITHIN the past week the Turkish
consul at Sautcn- Bulak, i'll Persia, Cr,e,.
to GROSS over INTO Turkey with an armed
escort OF ~ men, but he was turned
back by the kurds, who held possess OH
of all the roads. At the same time 1Ae
Turkish officials in the towns near the
border were chased out of the country
by the Kurds. They took refuge in
Ravenduz, where they are now The
Kurds have warned them not to return.
The Armenians hope that the Kurds
and Turks will get into hghC aud ux
terminate each other.
"a reasonable explanation for this
activity of the Kurds may be found in u
letter from Sheik ADdeI-Kad REGENCY
written to his brother In the mountains
of Kuristan. Abdel Kadr announces
that the sultan had appointed him to
command the Hamidieh regiment of n
regular Kurdish cavalry, together with
u Iorce of regular Turkish troops, and
that there was TO be Il great war, dur
ing which he and his troops We're to
capture the Russian city of kars.
MANY well informed persons in
western Persia believe that Asia Minor
is on the verge of great religious war
which the Sultan OF Turkey is fostering
i'll order 60 retain his prestige among the
Mohanmedans, many OF whom have
been for some time grumbling at him
for his lukewarmness in the cause OF
their religion and threatening to deprive
him OF his cahphate.

the Sassoun and MOosh maSsacres and
nothing has been done in consequence
by the Turkish government, tine mos
lens of Persia are beginning 60 believe
that nothing will be uOne and that Eu-
ropes protests count for nothing. AS
result the Persians are beginning to talk
OF having Il massacre OF Christians on
their account. | have been frankly tod
IN Persia that il nothing else Is done 10
punish the Turks for the Sassoun affair,
the Jealous moslems OF Persia will seek
10 win the favor of their god bv scourg-
ing and driving out the Christians.
Were IL not for the strong hand OF the
Persian government and the good VIII |
and protection of the shah, the CHRIS |
tian population would be murdered
within Week.

Bitis Is ON the brink of a massacre and |
that trouble may be- looked for at any |
moment. This news, from different |
source, is of che same character as the |
news which l received last week am
nouncing that the Christians at Van |
were within an inch OF . massacre.
The situation IN Armenia has grown
no better Tor the presence of the COM
mission OF inquiry; as a matter OF fact,
70 has grown worse, aud the Christian
population IA eastern Turkey is at the
present moment ia greater peril than 10
was the week before the S.lssOuu massa-
ire. Not only that, bat tho peril Co
