 All news about plots against His Im- perial Majesty the Sultan are absolute ly and entirely false.
 I transmit you the text of three tele- grams that have been sent to the valis and military commanders of those prov inces which are troubled, and I beg of you to give them the widest publica- tion.
 First-Telegram addressed to the gov- ernors general of the vilayets of Trebi- zonde, Erzeroum, Bitlis, Van, Diarbe- kir, Manonetoulzize. Sivas, Adana and Alop, dated November 15:
 "The commanders of brigades in de- taching flying columns for the suppress sion of disorder will send out a procla- nation advising those who are in arms against the legal authorities to get up their seditious plans and to abstain from all acts directed against the wish es of His Imperial Majesty the Sultan. The commanders will have to deal by force of arms with all persons who dis obey this injunction. They will also try to prevent all movements on the part of the rioters attacking boroughs and villagers. If murders or insurrection- ary acts take place suddenly within the sphere of evolution of a flying column, said commanders will have to pursue without preliminary warning the au- thors of those crimes. Our august sov- ereigns determination is that order shall be restored in all disturbed parts; that the life, the honor and property of every one shall be safeguarded and that all acts contrary to justice and equity shall be prevented. You will watch day and night to secure the real ization of said imperial determination by putting, immediately, a stop to dis orders"
