Constanfinoplc, Nov. G.-The report that
the ambassadors Of the powers. owing 10
the recurring disturbances in various
parts OF the Turkish empire. went 10 the
porte and urged that adequate measures
for the restoration OF order be taken, Is
confirmed In official circles. The repre-
sentatives OF the powers declared that
otherwise the powers. acting in concert,
would take their own steps in the matter,
and the Turkish minister for foreign af-
fairs. Said Pasha. was requested To state
what steps the porte intended 10 take In
order 20 terminate the present state OF
anarchy. No definite reply was given on
this subject, although the ambassadors
were assured that everything possible
would be- done 10 restore order 1T is evil
dent in view Of the repeated outbreaks,
that the powers will sooner or later be
compelled TO restore order by a display of
force a. the Turkish government seems
either utterly unable or unwilling to put
al end 10 the state OF anarchy existing In
Armenia. which threatens to bring about
"A gIavcr state Of affairs.
Independent reports received here from
Armenia do not confirm the official state
meat that the Armen.ans provoked the
different disturbances which have taken
place there. At ErzerOum 800 bodies have
been found. and the corpses Of only six
Turks were among them.
Fresh disturbances are reported TO have
broken out at Adana, capital of the vii
layet OF that name.
According to the most recent reports cir
culated Klamil Pasha viii be replaced as
