LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE foreign office
has given out the following semi official
note:
"The outburst of the continental press
against Great Britain, which is accused
of selfish designs in the east, has aston
ished official circles. Nothing that is
being done or contemplated by the gov
ernment could give the slightest color
to such assertions.
"The government cannot hold itself
responsible for the natural horror in
evitably inspired in the minds of the
public by the authorities at Constanti-
nople. The policy of Great Britain, has,
however, undergone no change what
ever and the government is acting in
complete accord with the other powers
as it has hitherto done.
"Nevertheless, it is becoming obvious
that the public feeling in Great Britain
has been so outraged by the shocking
events in Constantinople that the gov
ernment would never be supported in
again siding with the porte.
"If the powers cannot see their way to
adopt means to cooperate to end the
carnage, the only course open to Great
Britain is to stand aside and hope for a
more satisfactory state of affairs

LONDON, Sept 1.-THE st. James
Gazette this afternoon returns to the
discussion of it's proposition of new
dreibund to be formed by Great Britain,
the United States and Italy for the set
tlement of the Armenian question, and
says: If Great Britain, the United
States and Italy presented the sultan
with joint demand that certain condi-
tions must be complied with in three
days time, it is highly probable that his
Russian advisers would intimate to Alb
dull Hamid that he would have to yield
and it is not impossible that the demand
of the three powers would presently
becomethat of United Europe. If Abdul
Hamd was advised against his own in
terests SO strongly that he refused to
yield to them, an Anglo-Italian fleet
with such American vessels as could ar
rive on time could force the Dardanelles
and dictate to him in the Bosphorus The
mere existence of such an alliance would
probably be sufficient to conquer not
merely the sultan but persons and pow.
ers Of greater weight that the atrocities
must end.
The article in the st. James Gazette
concludes with the following statements:
'In the event Of graver complications
ensuing the new dreibund would enable
us to face them with thel material sup
port Of a fine navy whose addition to
ours would make us equal to any pos
sible combination and would give us the
moral support of three civilized nations
which no other state would care to have
among it's opponents"
A GREAT FIND.
