| LONDON, Nov 2S.-The correspond
ent of the United Press in nCOnstantinople
/ itelegraphs under date of November 9th
/ that a second terrible massacre has oc-
Cured at Marash, and that the houses
| there have been pilIdged without regard
as to who their occupants might be
1t is reported that thousands were
killed and many hundreds wounded
The American Theological Seminary
was plundered and burned and two OF
the students at that institution Were
shot, one being fatally wounded Ho-
tells and boarding houses also were
! plundered. The Christians at Marash
and in that vicinity, thousands Of whom
are destitute, have appealed for aid.
| a dispatch received in COnStantinOple
! from Aleppo under Mondays date says
an outbreak is apprehended at Van, and
! reliable kilograms from other sources
say that outbreaks continue with the
purpose of Wiping out the Armenians.
| 1t is impossible to rely for aid from
SassoUn, these adVices state, the relief
work there having ceased. The Kurds
are again attacking the people under
the belief that they are acting under or
derS from the Government.
N. Nelidoff, the Russian EmbassadOr
| to Turkey has had an audience with
the Sultan, during which he warned him
| that if serious disturbances should Oc-
tcur at ConstantinOple the foreign fleets
would penetrate the DardanelleS. The
Sultan admitted to NJ Nelidoff that the
| Powers had a right to the admission of
q second guardship to the Bosphorus,
but renewed his request that they
should not insist upon that right. Re
urged that the promised reforms were
! progressing, and that the approach of
an era of reform was shown by the ap-
! pcintment of six inspecting judges, of
whom three were Christians.
Despite the assurances of the Sultan
! to the contrary, the arrests of Arme-
mans in Constantinople have been re-
newed, though there is no sign of any
uprising or resistance to the laws on the
! part OF the Armenians in COnstanti-
nople. Thousands of them, however,
are reported TO have been frightened
into conversion to Moslemism.
| The United Press representative in
| ConstantinOple telegraphs under yes
terday's date that news has been re-
ceived from Zeitoun that on Novem-
Der 18th d force OF $1,000 Armenians,
under a RussO-Armenian leader, cap
tured the fort occupied by Turkish
troops. In the attack upon the fort dyna-
mite was used by the Armenians with
great effect.
Rumors are in circulation in Constan-
tinOple that a dreaded massacre
occurred at Aintab on Novem-
Der 18th. The Government has pro-
hibited all telegraphic communication
with that place, and it is impossible
to get any information in regard to
the reported massacre.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 2S-De-
spite the assurance given to Sir Philip
Currie, the British ambassador, by
Tewfk Pasha, the Turkish Minister of
Foreign Affairs. that each Power will
be permitted to send an additional
guard ship TO the BosphOrus, the Sui
tan has not yet granted the requisite
permits for their entrance through the
Dardanelles. The hesitancy of the
Sultan in the matter, it is understood,
is due to his fear that the movement of
the Powers to increase the number of
their guardships in the BOsphorus is
merely designed to mask an ulteTiOr
demonstration of the naval force. 1t is
| thought, however, that the Sultan will
! yield to the demands of the Powers.
! in view of the unanimous pressure they
are bringing upon him; otherwise it is
! probable that the Powers will send
/ gunboats into the BOSphOrus without
waiting any longer for the Sultan TO
issue orders permitting them to enter.
