And Demand That Turkey Take Some
Decisive Steps
To Bring About a Discontinuance
Of the State Of Anarchy Which
Exists in Some Parts Of the En-
pire-Independent Reports Show
That the Armenians Were Not to
B anne for the Recent Uprising.

the different disturbances which have
taken place there. At Erzeroum alone
the bodies Of 800 Armenians have been
found and only the corpses of six Turks
were among them.
Fresh disturbances are reported to
have broken out at Adana, capital Of
Vilayet of that name.
According to the most recent reports
circulated, Kiamil Pasha will be re-
placed as Grand Vizier by Said Pasha,
formerly Grand Vizier and now Minis
ter OF Foreign Affairs, and the latter
viii be succeeded by Tewfik Pasha, the
Turkish Ambassador to Germany, who
has left Berlin for this city.
Constantinople, November 5, via So
fla, Bulgaria, November 6.-The report
that the Ambassadors Of the powers,
owing to the recurring disturbances in
various parts of the Turkish empire,
went to the Porte and urged that imme-
diate and adequate measures for the
restoration Of order be taken, is con-
tirmed in officials circles. The repre-
sentatiVes of the powers declared that
otherwise the powers, acting in con-
cert, would take their own steps in the
matter and the Turkish Minister of
Foreign affairs, Said Pasha, was re-
Quested to state what steps the Porte
intends to take in order to terminate
the present state Of anarchy. 1t is add
ed that the Ambassadors called the
most serious attention of the Porte TO
the condition of affairs in AnatOlOa,
which they view with anxiety, and re-
minded the Turkish government Of the
Intervention of the powers in Syria at
the time of the massacres Of 1860, and
asked what measures The Turkish Uu
thOrities proposed to take to re-estab-
lish order. No definite reply on this
subject has been received, although the
Ambassadors were assured that every
thing possible would he done to restore
order. But assurances Of this nature
have been so repeatedly given that
very little faith is placed in them and
it will require definite statements and
proofs Of the willingness of ths Turkis1
government to maintain order to salts
fy the Ambassadors.
It IS evident, in view of the repeated
outbreaks of wholesale killing Of Ar
menians and insults to foreign Consuls
and representatives, ETC., that the pow
ers, however much they may desire
from political motives not to interfere
actively in the administration of Ar
menia. will sooner or later be compelled
to restore order by a display OF force,
as the Turkish government seems
either utterly unable or unwilling to
put an end to the state of anarchy eX-
listing in Armenia which threatens to
bring about a more grave state of af-
fairs.
London, November IA Vienna dis
patch to the Standard says:
THE Porte has replied to the ideni-
cal representations Of the powers that
the reserves are being summoned to
stop the outrages upon Armenians.
The powers, however, consider that
these measures are inadequate"
The ConstantinOple correspondent Of
the Standard says:
1T is rumOred that decisive European
action is imminent.
"A great Moslem demonstration was
announced for last Friday, but the Sui
tan. fearing the consequences, notified
the Turkish newspapers of his inten-
ton to proclaim a constitution, where
upon the demonstration was counter
manded.
THE Sultan then ordered the papers
not to publish the announcement and
arrests began to be made. Last even
ing the police raided the Turkish quar-
ter Of Sedik Pacha. A fight ensued and
cov-n~o1 rprSOpS were killed
"A fresh crop of revolutionary pla-
cards were scattered broadcast to-day
Even at the Porte a letter was found on
the Sultans table giving him the alter
native of abdicatiOn or assassination.
Reports are reaching the embassies
from all directions of wholesale massa-
cres. and the victims now include
Greeks and MarOnites.
"The report is gaining ground, even
in diplomatic circles, that the Sultan
has ordered the determination of the
Armenian race. The excitement is
spreading to Syria, Bagdad and Mosul. -
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Constantinople, fully confirms the fore
going and adds that the the British Con-
sui. HampsOn. telegraphs from Sassoun

there and that the missionaries have
been obliged to leave.
"The embassies do not make any Sc
cret Of the fact" the correspondent
adds. that throughout Armenia fan
a.ical disorder is rampant and that the
lives Of Christians are in danger
1T is asserted that everal military
students at the Pancaldi academy have
been arrested as revOlutionists.
The Chronicles ConsJant.nople dis
patch contains serious similar state
lments and says:
"One of the English residents who
has business agents throughout the en-
pire. informs me that the situation is
worse than anything he has known for
the past forty years.
The numbers of the killed must not
be reckoned by hundreds or by thou
sands. but by tens of thousands, and re-
ports from Syria declare that the Ar
menians have been massacred under di-
rect orders from the government"
