COnstantinople. Oct. 11.-Minister
Terrell denies that he has made any
request of the Porte in behalf Of his
Government for the admittance of the
United States gunbOat Bancroft
through the Dardanelles, but he eX-
presses hopes that arrangements We're
made for her admittance before the
Bancroft started from America for
Turkish waters.
Mr.. Terrell is the only diplomatist
who has left the protection of Thera-
pia. He is living in Pera, and the
American Legation is the only one that
is not guarded. Mr.. Terrell has pointed
out the houses of Americans which re-
quire special guards, but has declared
to the Turkish police that it Is their
duty to guard the legation without a re-
quest.
The jails are so crowded with Armen-
ian prisoners that il seems impossible
for them to hold any more. The special
tribunal organized for the purpose of
trying the ArmenanS is wholly made
qUate to dispose of the cases. and a
second court will be organized to ex-
pidite matters

then come home, unless some emergen-
cy requires her continuance in Turkish
waters Naval officers continue conf
dent that an arrangement will be
reached enabling the Bancroft to 70 to
