LONDON, Nov 6.-(Copyrighted, 1895,
by the Associated Press - The news
from the east and far east durne the
week has not been of q nature calculated
to dissipate the clouds which haze oeen
hanging heavily over the political horl-
con for a long time past.
From Asia Minor came authenticated
reports OF further massacres Of Armenians
during which the Turks seem to have an
Piled the torch to soaked vid-
tins and to nave skinned others alive, In
addition to outraging woven and cbli'
dren and plundering property on all
sides.
From the far east yesterday came re-
port that it is positively stated at ShanR-
hal that China has agreed that Germany
shall occupy one Of the islands near
Annoy for the purpose of converting 1t
into o naval depot. Fears are expressed
shat il this rumor turns out to he correct
international complications OF serious
nature will follow, as Russia and France,
not to mention Great Britain, are certain
to demand a similar concession.
Regarding Turkey. the powers are NOV
ing slowly, but surely. The various Eu-
ropean fleets are closing up toward the
Dardanelles, although the powers are evi-
IDENTIFY disposed to give the sultan every
possible chance to restore order in bis
dominions. But it appears as though
matters had drifted too far and that the
sultan is unable to suppress the disorder
in the Turkish empire.
The Official versions OF the di stur bances
in Asia Minor, which sre recruited by
the Turkish EN- bassy in the various ca ni-
tails in whi,h the Mussulmans figure as
lambs being devoured BY Armenian
wolves. are received with derison. A
description of the British EN- bassy at
Theropia, village about seventy miles
from Constantinople. shows it to be we'll
and safely situated in event of fanatical
attack. There are high thick walls with
a couple of guns defending the entrance.
while the road leading to the EN- bassy is
commanded by. the guns OF British
gunboat which is lying opposite the EN-
bassy in the Bosphorus, from which the
embassy building is only separated by
q narrow road. The servants and per.
6ftv men all told, land they are well armed
and have plenty of am munition. The fact
that these details are published here
shows in some quarters the belief prevails
that the British EN- bassy is not entielv
free from the possibility of attack.
The common council. for the first time
on recori, at stormy meeting on Thurs
day refused by large majority to pass
the customary vote of thanks to the Ietir-
ing lord ma or, Sir Joseph Renals. ! his
was mainly on account of dinner which
Sir Joseph gave to Barney Barnaio, on
himself to be the savior Of London by
bolstering up his own Katir securities.
In short, the whole Renals Barnato
affair is causing great stir IN the city.

most sought after man in London. being

Many Americans and others who in.
tended to winter in Egypt have decided
to change their plans. owing to the re-
port of the prevalence OF cholera in GER

peaIed in serious torn elsewhere in
