New York, December IA dispatch
to the Herald from Vienna says:
The crisis is again getting serious.
The old Turkey party threaten to
bring about a revolution if the Sultan
gives way.
Russian and anti-English influences
at the Yildiz Kiosk are increasing.
The Sultan has given the title of
Pasha to Hassan Usnir. a well-known
Anglophobe writer, and has also ac-
corded decorations to a number OF
Russian nOtabilities.
The antagOnism between the Grand
Vizier and Sir Philip Currie is increas-
ing, while Germany is prohting by her
good relations with the powers to play
the part of the honest broker"
AWAITING DEVELOPMENTS.
Copyright, 1895, by Associated Press)
Constantinople. via Sofia, Bulgaria,
November 30.-It has not yet been
conclusiyely developed here what Is TO
be the effect on the disordered state
of the empire of the REIMBURSEMENT,
temporarily, at least, of the purpose OF
the powers to introduce additional
guardshiDs into the Dardanelles for
the protection of foreigners in the do
mains of the Sultan. The ordering back
to Salonica Bay of the British gun
boat Dryad, which had been ordered up
to the Dardanelles at the request OF
the British ambassador, Sir Philip
Currie. in anticipation Of the promised
granting of the frmans by the Sultan
for warships to pass through, is offl-
cially explained on the ground that the
proposed action would
DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD
by inAaming the fanaticism of the
Turks against foreigners on account OF
the supposed affront to the Sultan OF
what would, in effect, have amounted
to naval demonstration against Con-
stantinople. The effect of the abandon
ment of its purpose by Great Britain on
the situation in Turkey is awaited with
anxiety and great interest. The queS-
tion of guard ships seems at a stand
still for the present, though the threat
of Sir Philip Currie to renew his pur-
pose unless foreigners should be exempt
from outrage, is still open.
Undoubtedly one effect Of the order
ing back OF the Dryad to Salonica is
Tat the belief of the often-alleged
CONCERT OF THE POWERS
in their attitude towards Turkey is
waning. The Sultan is known to have
been skeptical as to this concert for
some time past, and it is said has based
his long continued opposition to Great
Britains demand upon belief that no
such concert existed, or that it could
not endure for any length of time. This
belief cannot but have been in part
confirmed by Great Britain's withdraw
al of her demand after it had been so
very strenuously pressed to the very
verge of a crisis. Whether Great Brit
ain is influenced by the alleged danger
to foreigners from fanatic Turks which
would ensue upon the proposed demon
stratiOn, or whether it has learned to
doubt the approval of her action which
might be accorded by the other powers,
is therefore a question which is dis
cussed on both Sides
AMERICANS SAFE.
United States Minister A. w. Terrell
has received from Aintab, on the south
ern slopes of Mount Taurus, a dispatch
which states that the American mis-
sionaries there are safe and were un-
harmed in the recent massacre, and
have not required the services OF spec
ial guards.
Reports of a fanatical outbreak in
Casarea have created anxiety as to the
safety of the American mission there,
and Minister Terrell has wired an in
quiry, to which an answer is still
awaited The nOn-arrival of private
letters from Kharput and Si7as also
has a dsQuieting effect.
Official dispatches describe a small
conflict in Zilics, in the vilayet of
Sivas. in -hich four Mussulmans and
five Armenians We're killed, and another
at Enderhin, where
ARMENIAN REBELS
attacked the town, burned the govern
ment buildings and pillaged the Mus
sulmans villages in the vicinity Of
Pias. Troops have been sent to re-
press the outbreak.
1t is stated that the American ad-
miral at Smyrna recently asked per-
mission to bring an ironclad here to
visit the Sultan, but permission was
refused.
