definite appears to be known regarding
the course of action decided upon. but
1t is now believed that the sultan will
not be allowed to tr1fie with the am
bassadors for many days longer, and
news of an important nature is expect
ed at any moment. A prominent men,
Der OF the diplomatic corps was quoted
to-day as saying that the end of all
this business is fast approaching, and
this is the view taken of this situation
by Europeans generally. It is under
stood that the powers have at least de-
cided that further identical notes." or
such other communications, are useless
in the case of Abdul Hamid, and that
only prompt and efficient military ac-
ton is likely to have any influence up
on him.
The rumors so persistently circula ted
for many weeks past as to the proba-
bility that the sultan will be deposed
were repeated on all sides to-day, and
1t would seem that they may have been
revived by some definite statements on
the subject having been overheard at
one of the embassies.
No further details have been received
here OF the recent massacre at Diarsbe-
kir, but from all accounts the blood
shed must have been terrible in the ex-
treme. A large part of the town was
burned.
The government, II is announced, de-
cided yesterday to mobilize another 20
battalions of Redsfs, which will make
so battalions mobilized. And yet At was
only yesterday that the porte issued
an official note saying that "Order has
now been restored in all the districts
recently the scene of riots and con-
ficts," etc. 1t is understood that these
modified troops are intended TO occupy
certain strategic points in Asiatic Tur-
key, from each of which points flying
columns will be sent out into the sur
rounding country in order to attempt
the suppression of the constantly occur
ring riots and massacres.
There is no doubt that the Turkish
government is greatly alarmed at the
regularity and persistence of the out
breaks in Asia Minor, and the ministers
claim to believe that they are due to
the influence of foreigners. Naturally,
this does not tend to make the position
OF foreigners in Armenia or elsewhere
secure.
According to Turkish official advices
received by the government to-day, the
al VI ZcllOun nave, since cap
turing the battalion of Turkish troops
and practically obtaining possession OF
the city. attacked the village of Tchou-
kour Hissar, killed 35 Mussulmen, pill
laged a house at Dunghel and carried
off the arms and cattle of the inhabit-
ants of that neighborhood. The Arme-
mans are also said to have assassi-
mated the secretary of the collector of
customs of that part of the country.
The Vail Of Adama, town situated
some distance from Zeitoun and near
the coast, telegraph that 200 Armeni-
ans, disguised as Circassians, have at
tacked and plundered the Mussulmen

per cent. of the shops destroyed. as
