Commences Releasing Armenlans Rc-
comfy Arrestcd.
4 CoNsTANTINoPLE, October lO.---In
accordance with the demands Of the
powers, the police have commenced
releasing Armenians imprisoned as a
result of the recent riots. Two OF
these men when released were found
to be in a pitiable condition, suffering
from many deep wounds. They made
statement to the powers that they
had not received food or medical treat
ment for three days. The streets are
still patrolled by the troops. 1t is
understood that the torpedoes sent to
the Dardanclles are being placed in
position and ammunition is being for
warded to the forts. From these and
other military movements it is sur
missed that the Turks are preparing to
defend the Dardanelles should Great
Britain attempt naval valdemonstration.
There is no material change in the
diplomatic situation.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, October 1.-THE
representatives of the six powers are
still waiting for a definite reply to the
identical communication recently
handed to the Turkish government in
behalf of their respective governments
and in which they specify the reforms
Tor Armenia, which, in their opinion,
should be accepted by the government
Of Turkey, and promulgated iii an
imperial decree. Suggestions, semi
official notes and visits of government
officials to the envoys of the powers
followed the receipt Of this Identical
but the distinct,
categorical reply of the Turkish
seems to be delayed first
by one reply and then another, until
the pa tience of the European govern
ments is becoming exhausted and
definite action upon their part may
shortly be expected. In view of the
increasing gravity of the situation, the
British Mediterranean squadron re-
mains at Lemnos, (Stalimni) ewithin
short steaming distance ofthe entrance
of the Dardanelles. The obstlnacy of
.he porte under the circumstances is
1ot generally understood. No reply
las been made to the request Of Sir
Phillip Currie, the British am bassador,
made shortly after the massacre, that
lie be allowed to visit the prisons in
which the Armenians charged with
ioting are confined. to take their
lepositions for transmission to the
'arious European governments in
crested.
