CoNsTANTINoPLE Sept. flowing TO
ehe Turkish governments communion
ton to the embassies of the powers in re-
gard to rumors Of another Armenian out
break here tho embassies yesterday de-
puted the foreign consuls to authorize the
police to enter foreign houses when neces-
sary and arrest Armenians throwing
bombs or shooting therefrom.
The offer of the Turkish government to
furnish the embassies with guards has
been declined, the forei gn officials prefer
ring to rely upon the guards of bluejack-
cts from the warships of the powers. Since
the issuing Of the Hynchakist circular
5000 Armenians have been arrested, and
the exodus Of Armenians continues.
A serious panic occurred in the Galata
quarter in consequence of the arrest of an
Armenian In whose possession were a
number Of discriminating letters and a re-
volveF. Everybody rushed into their
houses and the doors of the shops and
dwellings were hastily barred, the people
fearing a repetition of the looting and
massacring The panic spread to Pera,
and similar scenes were enacted there. 1t
was not until some hours after the arrest
was made that the fears of the people were
allayed and the shops reopened.
LONDON, Sept 1.-THE ST. James Ga
zette, in an article commenting upon the
Indifference of the European powers in re-
gard to the Turkish massacres, PROPOSES
the formation of an alliance between the
United States and Great Britain in which
Italy might possibly join. "Alone among
the nations of the earth" The Gazette
says, "the Americans can understand the
impulse driving free people into war in
order to rescue the oppressed. If the three
powers mentioned should present q joint
demand to the government at CONSTANT
nople it is improbable that any serious en-
ployment of force would be necessary"
The Chronicle and Daily News yester-
day published many columns of dis
patches claiming that the European ma
tiOns are rousing themselves against the
sultan, though the semi-ofIicial journals
are callous to the sufferings of the Chris
tians in the Turkish dominions.
A dispatch from Constantinople says
that the young Turkey party is COW
ering the city with placards melting the
people to dethrone the sultan Serious
trouble, it is added, is certain TO occur
within a week.
The British residents, at the instance of
the British embassy, have telegraphed to
Lord Salisbury stating that their lives sand
property are in danger. The French resi-
dents have taken similar action. British
and French fleets are now near the mouth
of the Dardanelles.
The Berlin newspapers have Constants
nople dispatches which record the dismis-
sal of the servants of the palace and the
foreign officials Of the arsenal, showing
the nervous tension and the intrigues.
Redran Pasha, governor of Constantine
pie, has been dismissed and the sultan
brothers have been arrested.
Although the sultan still refuses the
permission in response to the demand OF
the powers, that six ironclads should have
free passage up the Dardanelles, procla.
nation has been read in the mosques
which is evidently calculated to prepare
the population for this event
