Constantinople. April 11.-Although- the
Turkish government has of1cAlly an
nouneed that the missionaries in Asia Min
or viii not be expelled 20 long ~ they
comply with the laws" 1t becomes more
and more apparent, as facts leak out, that
Rev. Geo. Knapp, one Of the missionaries
at Bitls, has been expelled in spite Of
the understanding In his case arrived At
between United States Minister Ter
rell and the Turkish government. After
1t had been proposed to try Mr.. Knapp
on the charge Of melting Armenians to re-
volt against the government
Almost daily negotiations on the subject
take place between the United States
charge d'analres. Mr.. Riddle. and the
TurkIAh minister for foreign Affairs, but
the matter Is still misunderstood and
seems to be assuming graver aspect as
time passes. The Turkish government,
however, has not made any Official state
ment regarding the part taken In the at
fair by the local authorities at BItlis, al
though an official note has been Issued
denying that Mr.. Knapp Is Imprisoned at
Diarbeklr. and stating again that there y
no intention to expel the missionaries 80
long as they comply with the law.
Verbal explanations. however. have
been forthcoming from the porte, but the
friends Of the missionaries do not consider
these explanations to be in any way salts

The missionaries place little faith in the
assurance Of the porte that 1t Is not in
tended to expel them from Asia Minor.
Some pretext for their expulsion, they be-
lleve, will be found whenever the porte
deems It necessary. Such charge as con-
spIring against the government s easily
made, and can be established to the sat
!sfaction of a Turkish official looking for
an opportunity to condemn Christian.
The future OF the missionaries depends
upon Russia, and 1t is upon the Russian
government and not the Turkish govern
ment that influences had been brought
TO bear In order to protect the lives and
property of the missionaries. The sultan
Is little more than puppet in the hands
of the czar, and 1t Is to the latter that the
governments Of the missionaries must turn
in this emergency. But will the czar re-
nounce his intention to Russianlze Asia
Minor? This Is a question which the
missionaries are now asking themselves

London, April 11.-Advices received

umns will be requested to clear the
country. 1t is impossible to act except
ON the defensive with small patrols"

says:
An Indictment has been issued which
charges all the members of the National
Reform committee who have been made
prisoners, without distinction, of con.
spring with DR.. Jameson to invade the
Transvaal, and to cause an insurrection
at Johannesburg. 1t also charges them
