II NAV be inferred that they have littl'
confidence in the Sutan's intention to car
ry out the reforms promised, or his aDllltN
TO do so if he were sc inclined. Official ad
vices received here from COnStanttnoplt
state that the Sutton will make another de
mand for the departure Of the British
fleet from LemnoS as sequel to his lsSu
ance of an imperial decree ordering tn
reforms into effect, and also that Klami
Pasha the Grand Vizier, will urge Si
Phillip Currie the British ambassador
to acede to this demand upon the grOunC

ed further that Austria and Italy are act
lively moving in support OF the protesting
Powers insisting upon the immediate ap
plicatiOn of the reforms which haV'

Powers at this stage OF the situation is
movement preliminary to their taking
! sides with Great Britain in the event o
further developments in the Armenian

Senting the leading journals of Berlin

medium of a very defective continental
news agency, now feel the necessity of re
ceiVing reliable dispatches from trust
worthy correspondents during the perioC
OF revolution, which it is greatly feared
will break out in Turkey before the end o
