AMNESTY TO THE zE1ToUNL1s.
Announcement of the Porte to the
European Powers.

Announcement of the Porte to the
European Powers.
The porte has informed the powers
that it agrees to grant amnesty to
the Armenians who have been for a long
time past besieged by Turkish troops in the
town of Zeitoun, after revolving against
Turkish rule and capturing about 400 Turk
ish troops, with their arms and ammuni-
ton. But the porte demands the expulsion
from Zeitoun of the revolutionary Hyntcha-
kists, who are now living with the insur-
gents. The latter will be allowed to retain
the old weapons with which they were arm
ed previous to the outbreak; but they will
he compelled to surrender the modern rifles,
said to be mostly of Russian manufacture
which have in some manner been smuggled
into Zeitoun since the insurrection occurred.
The porte also demands that the refugees
at Zeitoun, estimated to number about 60O0
persons. return to their villages. Protection
is promised them and every effort possible
will be made to assist them during the re-
mainder of the winter and in the spring,
should that be necessary.
Regarding the proposal for revision Of
the system Of taxation, the porte insists
upon it's right to treat directly with the
Zeitounlis and 1t Is considered probable that
the government will be allowed to do so
under proper supervision.
IneSe cOn0lt1OnS nave been forwarded to
the foreign consuls at Zeitoun with instruc-
lions to submit them to the insurgents of
that place.
1t is also stated that the consent of TIE
porte to grant amnesty to the Zeitounlis
may have been considerably Influenced by
the fact that half of the men belonging to
the eighteen battalions of Turkish troops
besieging Zeitoun are on the sick list, suffer-
Ing from exposure, want of proper food, and
lack of sanitary arrangements.
In fact. If reports which have been current
among friends of the insurgents are to be
believed. in addition to the great sickness
reported among the Turkish troops about
Zeitoun, there has been considerable loss of
life among them as well.
1t Is believed that nearly 1900 Turkish
troops occupy the various positions about
Zeitoun: Unable to take the place by as
sault, they settled down to an attempt to
starve the garrison into submission. But.
the insurgents claim, 1t Is the Turks who are
starving, and not the Zeitounls.
