following:
'"rhe cablegram sent by Minister
Terrell yesterday afternoon to Secre-
tary Olney and which l trust was
made public, was the outcome of a
call in the morning upon the sublime
porte in the person of it's minister of
foreign affairs, which was in every
way agreeable, cordial and Satisfac-
tory as it could have been made in
any country. Not only was the fullest
permission given for our entrance into
Armenia, but an active and generous
effort was displayed toward making
our endeavors, our journeys, ETC., safe,
pleasant and as easy as possible, and
also as productive of beneficial re-
suits as could be wished for. Mr..
Terrell was very much gratified and
seems very happy over our success. to
which the state department and he
contributed SO largely AS soon as an
outfit can be made and passage Sc
cured, our men will start for the desc
lated regions. 1t will be cold and ter
ribly hard for them, but that is what
they came for. l have met several of
the leading missionaries and other
American gentlemen here. 1t is
hoped that the maSSacres are over,

general feeling is that Russia has said

through want and sickness are de-
scribed as being both enormous and
terrible. Our stops on the journey at
London, Paris, Geneva and Baden
Baden were short. but very pleasant,
