The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1895-10-11

| CoNsTANTINOPLE, Oct. l0.-Lats to-
night it became known that the Turkish
| Government had finally presented the
ENJOYS of the six Powers reply to their
collective note on the subject OF the re-
cent disturbances here. The reply is not
satisfactory 10 the Embassadors
/ The Porte, III its answer, enumerated
/ the measures taken to preserve order.
and declared that the Mussulmans were
not the aggressors in the recent riotiug,
but on the contrary, the Armenians
killed inottensive Mussulmans.
The Turkish Government added that
as soon as the Armenian refugees leave
the churches in which thoy have sought
refuge the normal aspect OF the city will
be restored. 1t denies ordering that no
| food be supplied to the refugees in the
churces, and urges the ambassadors to
assist IN restoring order, claiming that
Armenian agitators are intriguing to
cause fresh disturbances.
Ihe note concludes with the assertion
that the Government is about TO open an
inquiry into the recent rioting, with
view OF discovering the guilty parties.
Six ambassadors met to-day to con-
slider what shall be done further 1t is
expected that the Dragomans OF the diff
terent embassies will assist the Turkish
officials IN clearing the vicinites OF the
Armenian churches of rioters infesting
them and installing the refugees in their
homes.
The Sultan continues greatly disturbed
by the presence Of the British feet oil the
Island OF Lemnos, and has sent again to
the Einbassador OF Great Britain to ask
for the withdrawal OF the British war
ships.
Thus far his appeal, like the first one
| mas been without avail. This leads to the
belief among the foreign residents that
Great britain intends to persist in her de-
mands, even though the other Powers
should declare Themselves as satisfied
WITH the concessions the Porte has an
nounced itself as being willing to make.
This evening the plan OF the Embassa-
dors TO have their dragOmans assist in
procuring the evacuation OF the churches
by the refugees was put into effect, and
the churches were vacated In their pres
ence, the Government having positively
undertaken that the refugees should NOS
be molested. Thus one Of the incte-
ments to further trouble has been re-
moved.
The Ottoman Liberal committee, whose
organ is published in London, recently
posted IN this city manifesto declaring
that the grievances OF the Armeulans are
genuine, and that they, like the Mussul-
mans, are being oppressed. The mani
testo placed the responsibility for recent
events on the Sultan's advisers. Izzet
Etlendi. noted lawyer and member of
the Constantinople bar, and several
others were arrested on suspicion of
being the authors of the manifesto. IZzet
Etfeudi is the President of the com
mittee. 1t Is stated that he admitted that
he was the author of the document. lie
is now closely confined in the Yildiz
prison.
Advices from TrebiZond, Armenia, con-
firm the reports of the massacre of Ar
menians. A general panic prevails in
that city. The number of killed is not
known.
NO RESISTANCE WILL BE OFFERED.
BERLIN. Oct. 10.-A Constantinople
dispatch to the I0ge6IdH says that the
Sultan has given orders that no resist
ance shall be- offered TO the British
squadrsn if it essays to pass the Darda-
neiles.

VIENNA, Oct. 10.-A Constautinople
