OUT OF THE LIONS MOUTH
How the Obliging Owner of the Yacht Gu
more Saved Armenians' Neclks

Constantinople, Aug. 2S.-Mr. Vincent
went to Yildiz Kiosk yesterday evening
TO see the sultan, and while he was
there a message was received from the
revolutimiSts saying that they were
willing to surrender on condition that
they were allowed to leave the country.
Mr. Vincent accordingly returned to the
bank and parleyed with the leaders of
the Armemians through the windows.
The Armenians had revolvers in their
hands and told him they held two of the
directors and a number of employees of
the bank asnoStages an dthat they had
seized the bank in order to demonstrate
not against the Turks nor the banks
but against the powers, who had
abandoned the Armenians. They add
ed that they had selected the Ottoman
bank because il was the most suitable
place. and expressed their willingness
90 surrender, provided they were al
lowed TO retain their revolvers. while
yielding up the bombs in their possess
sion and receiving safe conduct out of
the country. These terms were agreed
upon and the Arnlenians surrendered
last night and were conveyed on board
Mr.. Vincent's yacht Gulnare.

the public TO take the bonds was for polit-
