NO FAITH IN PROMISES OF PROTECTION

Armenian Prisoners Who Have Been Rec
leased Report Horrible State OF Affairs
in the Zaptieh Prison-A Belief That No
Decided Change is Likely to Occur Until
the Powers sterniy Take the Porte in
Hand.

Gonstantinople, Oct. s. via Sofia,
Bulgaria, Oct. 8. The blockade of the
Armenian churches continues. All
efforts of the authorities and the Ar.
menian patriarchs have failed to per-
suade the Armeniaps who have sought
refuge within their walls to return to
the houses, as they put no faith in the
assurances of protection given them.
The Turks, however, will only allow
Armenian ecclesiastics to enter the
churches, and when they leave the
buildings they are carefully searched
In accordance with the demands Of
the representatives of the Powers, the
police authorities have commenced re-
leasing the Armenians who were i'm
prisoned as result of the recent riot
ing Two of these unfortunates who
were allowed TO leave the Zaptieh
prison were found to be in pitiable
condition, both suffering from seven or
eight terrible wounds.
They have made statement, which
has been communicated to the repre-
sentatives of the Powers, that the
prisoners had not received food or
medical treatment for the three days
previous to their release. They also
claim that the prison is horribly over
crowded and in shocking state of
filthiness.
The streets of Constantinople and its
suburbs are still patrolled by the police
and troops, and it is understood that
the torpedoes sent to the Dardanelles
have been, or are being, placed in po-
sition in the straits. Ammunition has
also been sent to the forts, and from
| the other movements which are going
on, it Would seem that the Turks are
preparing to defend the passage of the
Dardanelles should Great Britain at
tempt naval demonstration in these
| waters.
There does not seem to be any ma
terial change in the diplomatic stu
alton. The Turkish Ministers have
held another conference, and additional
communications have been exchanged
with the representatives OF the Powers
but these formalities no longer attract
much attention, and few people believe
that any decided change in the condi-
ton Of the Armenians is likely to occur
unless the Porte is forcibly compelled
to enter upon the work of bringing
about reforms in Armenia.
There no longer seems to be any
doubt that the Armenians anticipated
a serious disturbance when the attempt
was made. Monday week ago, to pre-
sent petition to the Sultan through
the Grand Vizier, and they claim thai
those of their race who fell in the
streets of Constantinople upon tina
occasion were martyrs, who gave theil
lives for Armenia in the hope of forcing
the Powers to put extra pressure upor
the Porte in the efforts being made Il
bring about reform in the administra
ton of Armenia.
MANY ARMENIANs KILLED.
Trebizond, Armenia, Oct. 8. --Seriou
conflicts between Turks and Armenian

Consul Bates Believes It May BE Raised
Easily and with Profit in This Country.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
7 Washington, Oct. 9.-E. Spencer
Bates, United States consul at Siuga-
pore, is making an effort to introduce
the cultivation of Sumatra tobacco into
the United States, in view of the high
price it commands and its superiority
for wrappers.
In report to the State Department
he says that this tobacco is suitable
for growing in Lower California and
on the Southern coast of the United
States. Consequently he has addressed
himself to the task of procuring seed
and finding it impossible to obtain this
through official channels, owing to the
reluctance of the Dutch planters, he
has procured supply from private
sources and will forward it to the Agri-
cultural Department. His report gives
complete description of the method
of culture.
