THE TURKS AND THE RED
CROSS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II, 1s96.-The
action OF the TlrlSish Government in
shutting out the Red Cross Society from
that country and preventing assistance
from reaching the Armenans. has caused
much rnfavorabie comment at the Capt.
tol. Members of the Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate are not inclined
to publicly discuss the matter, but pri-
vately express their surprise and indig-
nation at the conduct Of q government
that thus shuts the door in the face of
an organization recognized by the whole
wcrld as one intended to relieve the mis-
cries of mankind and aid the afflicted.
Mr.. Cuilom, chairman OF the sub-com-
mittee having. the Armenian cues ton in
hand, said this morning that he did not
see what this Government could. do in
the premises, much as ne deplored it.. II
the Turkish Government took this step,
he was not aware of any way through
which this Government could, effectually
protest. The action SO far taken appears
as that Of the accredited Minister to the
United States, and the Committee is not
inclined to accept it as final until SUCH
instructions come from Constantinople
