Against Armenians and De-

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. T.
new Turkish ministry has been
formed, as follows: Hall Rifat Pasha,
grand vizier; Said Pasha, president
of the council of state; Tewfik Pasiaa,
minister of foreign affairs; Hassan
Pasha, minister of marine; Ria
Pasha, minister of war; Memduh
Pasha, minister of interior; Abdur
Bahman Pasha, minister of justice;
Sabri Pasha, minister of finance;
Arifi Pasha, minister without port
folio. Ria PaSha was minister Of
war in the last cabinet. Hassan
Pasfa was minister of marine in
the last ministry. Hall Rifat Pasha
is the eX-miniSter of the interior, and
Tewfik Paslla has just come here
from Berlin, where he was Turkish
ambassador to Germany. Said Pasha
was minister of foreign affairs in
the late cabinets ,and previously grand
viZier.
AS each day passes the situation
be comes more and more alarming,
and adds to the difficulty of the task
before the porte, and possibly be-
fore the European powers. From
Syria especially the most disquiet-
ing rumorS are coming, and that
they are based ON facts is shown by
the mobilizat ton of twenty ba,ttalions
of Redifs, out of the sixty availa-
BILE, and the steps being taken to dis
patch them as promptly as possible
to that portion of Asiatic Turkey.
This lends color to the report that the
Armenians are receiving support
from unexpected sources, and that
the Turkish government may soon
be face to face with an open and
widespread revolt against the rule
of the sultan. Arrests of Armenian
and Turkish suspects are constantly
being made here and elsewhere, but,
owing to the press censorship, few
facts in this connection are. obtain
able. Possibly the gravest turn in
recent events lies in the fact, estab-
lished beyond any doubt, that the
dissatisfaction against the rule of
the sultan has extended to the Turk
ish army and navy. The palace Off
Gals are we'll aware of this fact, and
are in a state of the greatest alarm.
Nobody here would be astonished to
hear at any moment of an outbreak
in the palace itself; in fact, people
who are we'll versed in Turkish af-
fairs assert that this is among the
Immediate probabilities, and that
only a prompt show Of force on the
part of the European fleets can avert
it. Trustworthy reports from Err
zeroun state that it has been estab-
hshed beyond dispute that the Turk
ish troops took part in the recent
massacres and pillage of Armenians
there and clear evidence of this will
of the powers.
TOLD BY THE SUBLIME.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Turk :
ish legation announces the following
telegram from the sublime porte un-
der yesterdays date:
'All news concerning plots, threa t.
ening letters and supposed dissatis-
navy is Intentionally propagated by
Well-known newspaper correspondents
affiliated with the Armenian commit
tee, to alarm public opinion. AS for
the often repeated assertion of the in
tended determination of the Armeni-
ans, 1t is too absurd to be contradicted.
The efforts of the imperial government
tend, ON the contrary, to quell the re-
volt OF the Armenians and to resist
their criminal ami Lloody agitation.
The Armenian agitation at Diarbekir
was on the point of subsiding when
the ArmenianS began again their at
tacks on the Mussulmans by throwing
bombs at them, and by firing at the
Muezzins at the very time when the
latter were callina the faithful 10
prayers. During the ARRAY fifty Mus
sulmans and ninety Armenians were
killed and wounded
Armenian rioters attacked the pa
trolls at Sivrik, killing a few Mussul-
mans and setting fire to the bazaar
Two hundred Armenian revolutionists
having at their head Keyrok, chief Of
the parish of Fergus CMarash). at
tackled the village of Tchoukour Hissari
and killed twelve Mussulmans. Some
of the agitators were arrested, includ-
Ing part of the Armenian brieantis
who captured Hadji Hassan Ogio,i
Husni. II
"All news published as to the CO.
currence of trouble at Adana, Tarsus
and Mersine Is absolutely without
foundation
FEARS ONLY FOR HIMSELF. II
LONDON, Nov. THE Berlin cor
respondent of the Times says of TeI-
fix Pasha, the new Turkish minister
of foreign affairs: while here TewfilS
displayed no qualities fitting him to
be a good foreign minister. He has
won the sultan's confidence by the
timely detection of palace plots and
he Is likely to be a dociIe palace in
strument. 1t looks, therefore, as if
the sultan were thinking more of his
own safety than of the gravity CT the
political situation"
AMERICANS PROTEST.
PARIS, Nov. 7.-At a meeting here
today Of delegates representing Amerl-
can colonies in various parts of Ea-
rope, 1t was resolved to address a su-
preme appear to the six powers which
signed the Berlin treaty, urging ins-
mediate Intervention to stop "the
methodical determination of the Ar
men.ans which is being carried out by
the Ottoman government ~
AFRAID OF THE POWERS.
LONDON. Nov. s.-The Constaft;-
nople correspondent of the Standard
sends an interview with Said PasiIa,
in which he says he could notsclain
that the Turkish administrator was
snow-white, but it was certainlyshot
as black as it was painted. The min
listers, he said. were working hard to
