American Missionaries Are Asked to
Leave S2SSun.
a Turkish Plan to Avoid Another
Massacre Which Leaves the Ar
menians at the Mercy Of the
BlOOdthirsty Kurds.

Constantinople, October 31.-A SEN
sation has been caused here by the re-
port that three Armenian notabilihes Of
Trebizond, including prominent eccle-
siast, are to be executed on the ground
that they are responsible Tor the recent
rioting there.
According TO statements made in Ar
menian circles, about 500 Armenians
were killed during the fighting ut Bitlis
with the Turks. The loss Of the latter
is said to be trifling.
Adyices from MOosh say that the
leading Armeuians of that locality have
been, conferriug with the representa-
tive Turks Of that city and neighhOr>
hood as to the means 10 be adopted in
order TO prevent the outbreak there OF
disorders similar 10 those which have
occurred recently in different parts Of
Armenia, and which have resulted in
so much bloOdshed. The Turks stipu-
lated that the American missionaries
who are distributing relief 20 the sui
fering people OF Sassun withdraw from
there in three days; otherwise, the
Turkish nOtabiliies claim, they fear
just occurred at Bitls.
In view of this critical situation,
United States Ambassador Terrell has
advised the American missionaries TO
withdraw temporarily from Sassun.
At the same time Mr.. Terrell has noti-
fed the Turkish government that tho
United States will hold it responsible
for the lives Of the American missions
aries. The United States Ambassador
has taken a firm stand in the matter,
and nothing will be left undOne which
will in any way insure the safety Of the
missionaries. The British charge DAT
fairs, the Hon NJ. Herbert, has made
representations to the porte OF nature
identical with those of Mr.. Terrell.
The result is that the government has
decided to send troops TO protect the
missionaries.
But here another complication arises.
The Kurds Of SassUn are only held in
check by the presence there Of the mis-
sionaries. Therefore, in any case,
fresh troubles are feared unless the au-
thorities take special measures for the
protection Of the Armenians. The mere
presence there Of Turkish troops IS far
from being a sufficient guarantee
against a repetition at Sassun Of the
blodshed which has occurred in other
parts Of Armenia, and nothing but the
most energetic action, it is asserted,
can avert a serious disturbance.
in view Of these facts, the Armenian
patriarch has appealed to the different
embassies here to intervene in tine to
prevent another massacre. The Turkish
officials in reply again assert that all
the recent outbreaks here and in Ar
menia are nothing more than the work
Of the Hintchek, or the Armenian Sc
cret society, which has provoked all the
riots.
