Advices from Aleppo are that all the
Americans at Aintab. Marash, Orfah and
Mardin are. safe. The missionaries at
Kharput are leaving and coming tempo
rarily to Constantinople.
The Armenian provincial refugees here
have petitioned the patriarch to avert a
famine in their country, and asked him to
appeal to Europe. 1t is stated that the
Ministers refuse to receive the patriarch
unless be publishes an encyclical calling
on all Armenians to maintain order, and
condemning their intrigues and demands
on the Turkish Government. The patri-
arch's position is becoming extremely diff
fcult. He has again applied to the en-
bassIes, informing them of various
massacres and begging their good offices to
put an end to the situation. The officials
insist that the Armenian journals here
shall publish articles approving the Gov
eminent policy and condemning the
Armenians.
Several Armenian prisoners, who have
been released for lack of evidence upon
which to convict them, declare that they
were beaten daily in prison to compel
them to reveal the plans Of the Armenian
committee. None yielded.
NJ. Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador
here, has replied to the recent appeal of
the Armenian Catholics at Tifiis. He re-
fers to the conflicts in the provinces which,
he SAYS, were unfortunately in most cases
caused by Armenians who had been insti-
gated by their revolutionary committees.
The result was a terrible revenge on the
part of the Turks in the form of horrible
massacre of the Christians.
The Sultan has sanctioned the scheme
of reforms prepared by the powers, and IS
proceeding to effect them. To this end 1t
is necessary for the leaders of the people
to persuade the latter to desist from revo-
lutionary attempts, abandon the idle hope
of foreign Intervention, stop all disturb
ances and cooperate in the restoration OF
peace.

The Minneapolis Dispatched to
Aid the United States
Vessels.
MISSIONARIES IN NO DANGER.
Renewed Assurances From the Sections
Where Trouble Was Most
Expected.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2o.-As a
result of the consideration of the Turkish
situation at yesterdays Cabinet meeting,
the cruiser Minneapolis was to-day given
orders to take on coal and other stores
withoutdeiay and to sail for the European
naval station. Her destination is Smyrna,
Asia Minor, and her duty will be to assist
the flagship San Francisco and the cruiser
Marblehead in protecting the interests of
American missionaries and other citizens
of the United States.
1t was stated authoritatively to-day that
there were no new developments in the
Armenian situation involving this Govern
ment, but from the general aspect of the
present state of affairs it was deemed best
to dispatch another United States warship.
1t is expected at the Navy Department
that the Minneapolis will be ready to sail
from Ham pton Roads for Gibraltar on
November 25. The distance is about 5000
knots, while from Gibraltar to Smyrna
100 more must be tragersed. AT the rate
of seventeen knots an hour, the Mime
apoiis cannot be expected to reach Smyrna
in less the sixteen days, allowing two days
for coaling at Gibraltar. 1t is more likely
long voyage will be nearer three weeks.
In addition to her officers the Minneap-
oils will carry 400 bluejackets and As ma
rines. 1t is understood that Smyrna was
selected as her destination, because it is
the best place for missionaries to gather in
the event of danger to their lives.
VIENNA, AUSTRIA Nov. 2O.-A dispatch
from Pola says that the Austrian war
vessels recently ordered to prepare for SER
vice in connection with the Turkish

pedo-eiectors. She is of 5000 indicated
horsepower and is rated at speed of 1875

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 20-The
Turkish legation this evening received
the following telegram from the Sublime
Forte under to-day's date:
"A band of agitators formed by the
Armenian parson of Touzhatch (this par
son had been condemned to hard labor for

AdJourpo. The same parson was the
cause of the disorders at Beiirlikdii and
other villages.
"The Armenian agitator, Hanna Zaspa,
wounded another Armenian called Ke-
work in the streets of Bitlis for the reason
that the latter tried to persuade his
brother-in-law not to attack the mosques
and not to commit other depredations.
THE rioters of Mumuchdjik having
murdered Arif Effendi, member of the
Council of Administration. and having
wounded one soldier, an affray occurred.
The authorities took the necessary
measures for the preservation of order.
"The authorities of Mardin seized a
letter written by Protestant professor in
the city named Kbocheabrohan. In that
letter the professor was trying to convince
both Kurds and Christians that the So
called Armenian principality was going to
be esta blished.
Notwithstanding the advice and assur-
ance of the local authorities given to the
Armenians and ecclesiastics of Marash the
rioters continued to keep closed their
shops. They also killed one Mussulman
and fired from their houses on the troops
and the gendarmes."

to have been very small.
The advices also state that yesterda y
General Maxine Gomez fought battle

What she read there seemed to be in
tenseIy satisfactory, for she sank back
with relieved air and hid her face behind
her improvised fan. A silence as of death
fell upon the spectators, broken at last by
the voice of Judge Johnson asking the
solem question::
Gentlemen, have you arrived at a
verdict?'
1--WE have" answered the foreman as he
passed the written slip to the Judge, and
then every one present leaned forward and
listened while the verdict was read: "We,
the jury, find the prisoner guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree"
Ivan Kovaev's fate was sealed. He was
condemned to die, and yet the announce
ment of the verdict failed to move him.
No gleam of intelligence came into his
meaningless face, and as the hand OF the
Sheriff fell upon his shoulder he slowly
arose. put on his hat and followed his Gus
todian back to his cherries cell to await
his day of sentence and his last earthly
Journey to Folsom and the gallows.
After the majority of the crowd had left
the room Mrs. Beasley, the daughter of the
murdered couple, left her chair and shook
hands with each member of the jury, cor
daily thanking them for the verdict rem
dered. District Attorney Ryan also fell in
for his share Of her thanks for having so
ably conducted the prosecution, nor was
Captain Lees forgotten.
The dav set when sentence will be pro-
nounced is November % at 10 o'clock.

Spain Prepared to Prevent the Landing
Of Expeditions IN Cuba.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 90 The
double Gordon of Spanish men-of-war
around Cuba, the special syste m planned
by Admiral Berenger, Minister of the
Navy, is reported as being in full working
order and very efficient. The testimony to
this effect comes from a wholly reliable
and independent source-the captain of a
British steamer which arrived here yester-
day from the Spanish main and the West
Indies.
On Thursday evening last, at 7 AS o'clock,
while en- route for this port and when
about thirty miles west of Cape Maysi,
Cuba. he noticed powerful searchlight
playing in-shore on the Cuban coast. Sud-
denly two lights appeared cleaning from
the topmast head of vessel in the offing,
evidently a signal to the ship in shore.
Soon afterward the search light from
the in-shore ship was turned seaward, but
for time failed to reach the British
steamer. However, it was repeatedly
flashed toward her, and at last streak OF
light fell upon the ship. After apparently
satisfying themselves, those in charge OF
the light turned it in-shore again and the
masthead lights in the offing disappeared.
Later, as the steamer was proceeding on
her course, she passed vessel displaying
two similar white lights from her topmast
head. She was then about three miles
north of Cape Hayti.
Some time ago Admiral Berenger said
that as soon as he had enough full
power men-of-war he would estapll q
double Gordon about Cuba, the ships to
steam in an inner and outer circle around
the Cuban littoral. Under this system the
British captain before mentioned believes
that filibusters will meet with warm re-
ception.

strands in the rope of evidence which must
choke off the Russian escapes worthless
existence.
1t was 3:35 o'clock when the jury, after
listening to the eloquent closing plea of
Major Anderson for his client, the logical
argument of District Attorney Ryan and
the solemn instruction of Judge Johnson,
filed slowly out of the courtroom to hold
its consultation, the result OF which meant
life or death to the exile. After its de-
parture buzz of conversation arose in the
crowded courtroom, and many were the
wild guesses made as to the length of time
that would be required for the jury to end
its deliberations. 1t was the general opin-
ion that the extreme penalty would be pro-
nounced.
Ivan Kovalev seemed the most uncon-

Canspos to Leave the City Without De-
fense against the I,,sur0ents.
BOSTON, MASS, Nov. 20.-A dispatch to
morning paper from Santiago de Cuba,
dated the 18th. states that during the last
few days secret preparations have been
going on in that city, and that before the
end of the month the city will probably
be vacated. This is in accordance with
General Campos' policy to force the war
eastward from Havana, his headquarters,
at all times assuring himself of safety in
the rear. General Campos has again an
nounced that he would push forward and
crowd the insurgents into surrender or into
the sea.
Another dispatch says that at the pres.
ent time there is some disaffection among
the Cuban leaders in the field as to the
way in which the large amount OF funds
which are being collected in the United
States are being disposed of. While nc
direct accusation of misappropriations has
been made, some of the patriots have ex-
pressed their views that the money was
not being placed to the best advantage
and that its disposal was too much vested
in the hands of the New York committee
of the Cuban revolutionary party. This
talk, however, is thought to be only the
grumblings of a few malcontents, as
neither General Maceo nor General MART
have made any complaint.
A dispatch from Havana states that each
day the regulars are pushing forward
without meeting any opposition, the in.
surgents doubtless having decided to keep
to the mountains until the Spanish have
made further advances General Campos
has given orders that all efforts should be
made to pacify the natives, and that every.
thing taken from them should be literally
paid for.

OMAHA, NEBR., Nov. 20.-George Hor-

who was hurried off to the State prison at
Lincoln to prevent lynching, was secretly
