SITUATION uNo4ANoEp.

3:he 6ultan Delays and the llasaaereo Con~
tlnue-saId Pashs Returns.
Constantinopfe, Dec. 8, via 6oha, Bull
garia, Dec. 9.--The situation here on
the question Of the extra guardships Of
the powers remains unchanged and
continues to offer d tribute to the pow
ers Of delay and evasion Of oriental
diplomacy as practiced by the Turkish,
government. Statements are constant
" reiterated of the continued accord of
the powers on the subjecr and their un-
yielding determination to insist upon a
compliance with their demands. Less
ID heard. however, of the rumors WHICH
were of frequent occurrence in the eaFly
period after the demand had been pre-
sentcd, that the sultan had ut length
decided to grant the necrssnry tirman
to permit the passage Of the Darda-
nelJes. or even tha: he had actually is
sued them. r
Opinion continues divided as to
whether the delay in taking any action
to enforce the demands is due to fear
of causing u fanatieal eutbyeak against
the Christians by the Mussuln,an sub
iects Of the sultan or to . dread of
clash ensuing betwsen the powers hem
selves. -fsls 80 y. g. & ,,E, g.s:.f is
lAuthentic details have been received
of the Siyas massacres. They show
that the slaughte: began o., November
II and continued for q week following.
II is known that 200 ArInenians and
ten Turks were killed before there was
u cessation of the bloody work. 'fhe
stricken Armenians have gathered the
mangied remains of their kinsmen and
buried them in q great treEch in the
cemetery. The Armenian villages in
the vicinity were also looted and the
people left to beg and die. The winter
will bring terrible suffering to all the
living victims of the outrages. .-:..-'
At the village Of Pasuan, near Er.
zingjan, the Kurds and Turks attacked
! crowd Of Armenians who had taken
.eflige in the Armenian church and
killed 40 Of them. Altogether 400 were
killed and 500 were wounded in the
Erzingjan district. ,.lg@
Constantinople, Dec 10. - Notwith-
standing the general belief that the ex-
grand vizier, Said Pasha, would persist
in his reported determination to- leave
the country, an important change was
made in his plans Monday. 1t appears
that the sultan has at last persuaded
him to forego his intention of remain
ing under the protection of the British,
ambassador, for he left the embassy
and returned to his residence. 1t is be-
lieved here that the resolution adoptsd
at the meeting of the Representatives,
the powers on Thursday to the effect
that the powers would support h;n'
should he again accept the post OF
grand vizier was an important factorin
causing him to reconsider his determi:
nation to expatriate himself. AS yet
there is no indication of what his future
course will be.
