CoNsTANTINoPLE, Oct. up to Sep
TENDER 20, 80 wealthy Armenians, in
GLIDING one Armenian notability, had
been arrested on suspicion of having
taken part IN the recent revolutionary
movements. The general opinion is
that these persons are wholly inno-

Cons iderable excitement was caused
in the Yeni Kapu quarter Wednesday
evening by the explosion of bomb.
The police say that the explosion,
which did no damage, was the result
of an effort on the part of an Armenian
woman to get rid of number of bombs
which she had in her possession. She
was in the act of throwing the bombs
into the sea when one of them ex-
ploded. The woman was arrested. A
Gordon of troops has been thrown
around the Turkish quarter of Peruz-
agh. This action is believed to be a
precautionary measure against trou-
