the Gathering of Foreign F1oess.
London, Nov. 19.-It was understood
i'm well-informed circles here Monday
that the assembling of the British and
foreign fleets in Salonica bay was hav-
ing good effect upon the Turkish gov
ernment, and that the sultan has finally
determined to make earnest efforts to
put n stop to the bloodshed in Asia
Minor.
The sultan is said to be alarmed to
the verge of insanity at the assembling
of the foreign fleets at Salonica bay,
and it is known that he has sent urgent
messages to the wallis of the disturbed
districts ordering them to suppress the
disorders. In addition a number of
special commissioners have been hur-
riedly dispatched from this city to var
ious parts of Asia Minor armed with
power to quell the revolutionary out
breaks.
1t is understood that the marquis of
Salisbury has received assurances that
the sultan has dispatched commission
ers to Asia Minor instructe; to put in
force as soon as practicable the reforms
insisted upon by the powers, and that
beyond the assembling of the foreign
fleets off Salonica the powers will take
no further steps at present, being de-
sirous of giving the Turkish govern
lncnt every opportunity possible for
restoring order in the disturbed dis
tricts without having recourse to meas
ures which might add to the state Of
anarchy now prevailing.
The following telegram from Con-
stantinople was received Monday morn
ing by the Anglo-Armenian associa-
ton:
THE Armenians are being massacred
| everywhere In Asia Minor. Over 10O,0 900 are
dying of starvation and exposure The Sas-
| SCUM work of relief is closed.
For Gods sake urge the government to
| stop the most awful events of modern
times. The porte is powerless, as all the
| tclegraphs are under the control of the
palace officials who have melted the massa-
ere throughout Anatolia."
A dispatch received here from Rome
Monday says that advices which have
reached there from Constantinople an
nounce that the agitation against the
Christians of northern Syria is extend
| ing and that massacres have occurred
near Aleppo.
Constantinople, Nov. 19.-No details
| have yet been received here of the mas
sacre of about 800 Armenians at Khar-
put, or of the sacking and burning of
eight out of 12 of the buildings belong
ing to the American missionaries there.
United States Ambassador Alexander
w. Terrell has telegraphed for partic-
uiars of the outbreak, asking espe-
cially whether the eight American mis-
sionary buildings were directly set on
fire by the rioters, or if they simply
caught fire and were destroyed as the
result of general confagration. The
American and other missionaries at
Bitlis have been compelled to return to
Van, under an escort of Turkish troops
which was accorded them upon the
strong representations of Mr.. Terrell to
the porte.
In anticipation of the recent massa-
cres, Mr.. Terrell had previously de-
manded and obtained from the Turkish
government categoric orders for The pro-
lection of the American missionaries,
and nothing which can provide for their
safety has been left undone by the
United States officials. Mr.. Terrell, al
though granted leave of absence, re-
fuses to leave his post, being determined
to remain here until all the Americans
are in safety and the authority of the
sultan is once more established through
out Asia Minor. AT the request of the
United States consulate the vail of
Aleppo has detailed certain Turkish Off
cials of high rank to protect the Ameri-
cans of that place, and he has held them
responsible for the lives of those placed
under their charge.
