CONSTANTINoPLE, via SOFIA,
Bulgaria, Nov, SO.-It has not yet been
concluslveIy developed here what is to
be the effect on the dIsordered state OF
tho empire OF the REIMBURSEMENT tenn
pornrily, at least, OF the purposes OF the
powers to Introduce additional guard
ships into the DardRnelles for the pro-
lection OF foreigners In the domains OF
the sultan. The ordering back to snlo-
Mica bay OF the British gunboat Dryad
which had been ordered up to the Dar'
dnnelles at the request OF the British
ambassador Sir Philip Currie IN an
ticipRtion OF the promised granting OF
the 1rmans by the sultan for wnrshlpS
to pass through, Is officially explained
on the ground that the proposed action
would do more harm than good Dy in-
flaming the fGtnaticism Of the Turks
against foreigners on account OF the
supposed affront to the sultan VI what
would, in effect. have amounted TO
naval demonstration against Constan-
tnople
The effect OF the abandonment Of It's
purpose by Gr0nt Britain on the Bitun-
tlon In Turkey is awaited with anxiety
and great interest. The question OF
guard ships seem at stand still for the
present, though the threat OF Sir Philip
Currie to renew his purpose unless for
eigncrs should be exempt from outrage
Is stlll open.
Undoubtedly one effect OF the order
ing back OF the Drynd to snlonlca Is
that the belief In the often-nllegcd con-
cert OF the powers In their attitude to-
ward Turkey is waning, The sultan is
known TO have been skeptlcal as to this
oontert for some time past and II -
said has based his long continued Oppo-
sitlon TO Great Britain's demands upon
a belief that no such concert existed, or
TINT II would not endure for any length
OF time. This belief cannot but have
been In part confirmed by Great Brit
aims withdrawal OF her demands after
Il had been 80 strenuously prcssed To
the very verge OF q crisia. Whsther
Great Britain Is Influenced by the al
icged danger to foreigners from fanatic
Turks which would cnsue upon the pro-
posed demonstration, or whether she
has learned to doubt the approval OF
hcr action which might be accorded by
tho other powers, IL therefore question
which Is discussed on both slides,
United Stntes Minister A. W, Terrell
has received from Aintab, on the south
ern slopes OF Mount Tauras dispatch
which states that the American mis-
slonaries there arr safe md were, un-
harmed In the recent massacre, and
have not required the services Of spec
ial guards.
Reports Of fanaticnl outbreak in
Cnsarca have created anxiety ns to the
safety OF the American mission there
and Minister Terrell has wired an In
dulry, to which an answer lsstillawait-
Cd. The non.arTival OF private letters
from Rhhrpout md SIvnS also has n
llsqulctinG effect

conflict IN 2illos, In the vilayGt Of Slvas,
In which four Mussulnnng ard five
