THE TURKISH TURMOIL
The Sultan Alarmed Over the
Critical State Of Affairs.
THE FATE OF KIAMIL PAsHA.

As He Was Not Permitted to Bid Farewell
to His Friends Before Leaving Constan-
tinople, 1t Is Not Unlikely That He Has
Been Assassinated.
LONDON Nov ia dispatch to The
Standard from Constantinople says that
the sultan is alarmed because Of the pres
ent critical state of affairs. From Arabia
the most vulnerable point of the Turkish
empire, news has arrived of conflict be
tween the Turkish troops and the Arabs
near Senha, in which thirty persons were
killed. Despite the reports of trouble in
the Arabian provinces the last detach-
ment of troops sent to Arabia was de-
tained five days at Port Said for lack of
money to pay canal dues.
dispatch to The Times from Constan-
tinople says that reports have been re-
ceived there of the new disturbances at
Mush. The British embassy at Constan-
tinople is in possession of these reports,
but SO far no details have been received.
dispatch to The Times from Constan-
tinople says that Kiamil Pasha, just APP
pointed to the post of vail of Aidin, after
having raised strenuous objections to the
representatives of foreign governments be-
cause of his appointment to the undesira
BILE position of vail of Aleppo, is still very
ill. He was suffering severely when he
embarked on the steamer ordered to take
him to Smyrna by the Turkish govern
ment but members of his family received
significant hints that it would be advisa-
BILE for him to depart at once. Not one of
his friends was allowed to approach the
house or the boat for the purpose of bid
ding him farewell.
The Times publishes a letter from Con-
stantinople explaining the situation
throughout the Turkish empire. The
writer says that owing to the rigid censor
ship exercised by Turkish officials the
lower class among the Turkish people are
quite ignorant They believe that the sui
tan inaugurated the policy of oppression,
but to some extent it is stated that the
Armenians believe the contrary. The
Turks think the Armenians will be treated
as they were twenty years ago, and besides
this they entertain the idea that the Ar
menians are ungrateful
Thus feeling of hatred towards the
Armenians prevails, and the ignorant
Turks really appear to fear being massa-
cred by the Armenians. The government
officials, according to this letter, are di-
rectly responsible for disseminating the
idea that it is the duty of the people to kill
and plunder the Armenians. There is no
reasonable hope that any improvement
will take place through a change of public
opinion. Turks and Christians alike seem
doomed to endure such scenes of unspeak-
able suffering as marked the Roman en-
pire.
An official note was issued by the porte
yesterday expressing the sultan's thanks
for the energetic measures taken by the
imperial authorities in view of the dis
turbances and revolts which have broken
out in certain provinces of Asia Minor
which were due to the seditious intrigues
of Armenian agitators, and which have
been everywhere suppressed"
The note adds; "Order has now been
restored in all the districts which were
recently the scene of riots and conflicts,
and precautions have been taken to insure
the maintenance of quiet"
