THE SULTAN TO QUEEN VICTORIA.
He Denies Reports of Ma~sacres- The
American Dispatch Boat.

Constantinople. Feb. THE sultan has
replied to the autograph letter from Queen
Victoria. which il has been understood
was personal appeal TO the better nature
OF the sultan against the condition Of Asia
Minor, sympathizing with her in the hu-
name sentiments expressed, and declaring
the reports OF the maEsacres were spread
by eyiily-disposed persons. The sultan
adds that. contrary 10 allegations. the
Turks were first attacked while praying
IN mosque. The sultan assures the queen
that the measures taken have succeeded in
restoring order, that except at Zeitoun
quiet prevails everywhere. and that the
negotiations going on with the insurgents
a Zeitoun viii undoubtedly lead the in
habftants TO quiet.
Regarding the request of Minister Ter
rell that the United States legation be al
lowed an additional dispatch boat FOR it's
service, the Turkish cabinet contends that
as the passage of the straits Of Dardan-
Giles was regulated by an agreement be-
tween the six powers. the United States
must apply TO them for the necessary per-
mission, as she is not party TO the treaty
of Berlin. on behalf of the United States
Il il understood. the contention is made
that the regulations do not apply to the
United States. and she considers the
straits OF Dardanelles to be open waters
IL is stated in well-informed circles that
the reason for the porte's hesitation to
grant the request Is the opposition of
Russia.
