PORTE WANTS NO WAR.
Sends Assurances to Russia Regarding
 Troops-Revolt Threatened.

St Petersburg, Feb. 2).-A repre- sentative of the foreign office said to. day that Russia had received very def mite asurances that the Turkish mili- tary preparations in northwestern Tur- key, in the vicinity of the Russian bor- der were not directed against Russia, but, on the contrary. were made nec- esasry by the threatening internal sit nation in this region, which includes Armenia and Kurdistan. The assur- ance has been conveyed also that the sultan has no wish to quarrel with Russia
 The foreign office looks with dlsfavor upon the warlllSe attitude assumed by part of the Russian press, as this tends 10 complcate an international situation already in a sufficient deli cate stage. Whether the Turks believe themselves to be confronted with a re- vlval of the Armenian revolutionary movement Is not stated, but tho recent discovery of q large quantity of arms in the province of aNn may be recalled in this connection.
 The above assurances have received due consideration here, and it was fur ther explained that the steps which the general staff Is taking in the Caucasus should in no sense be regarded as a menace 10 Turkey. but simply as pre- cautionary measures which the military authorities naturally must adopt in view of this considerable concentration of Turkish troops. regardless of the Pacific object of the movement. The hope Is entertained here that these as- surances will put an end to tho alarm. ing rumors regarding the situation on the Turko- Russian frontier that have been circulated abroad

 But the bon vivant only smiled, shook his head. and said:
