LONDON, Dec. 6.-The Daily News
has dispatch from Constantinople to
the effect that the embassies have un-
officially informed the Sultan that if
the frmans for the extra guardships
are refused, the Dardane1Ies will be
forced by the powers Then the same
correspondent says:
''The venal press here congratulates
the Sultan upon the success of his re-
forms and of his repressive measures,
but if the massacres diminish it is
merely because victims are lack
ing. To-day's news is that 200
Armenians were killed IN Kaisarych
(Caesara). a massacre has occurred
at Kahiel, in the valley of Erzeroum,
about twenty miles east of the city of
Erzeroum, where the Armenian mon
astery was sacked and burned and the
bishop, the vicar and other inmates
were killed A feeling of alarm still
prevails
The Daily Telegraph has dispatch
from Vienna which says sixty-three
Armenians were butchered at Zileh
and fifty-seven at Hassan Kaleh with
every accompaniment of ingenious
cruelty. This correspondent affirms
that even in Constantinople the aspect
