The Situation In the Orient, While Very
Discouraging, Is a Trifle ~Less
Gloomy—Probably Unfounded
Rumor of Assassination.
Consranrinornn. Nov. 19, Via Sofia,
Bulgaria, Nov. 20.—-—In response to the
telegrams sent to Kharput by the United
States minister, Mr. Alexander W. Ter-
rell, inquiring into the burning and pillag-
ing of the American missions there, the
ports has furnished some information to
Mr. Terrell, and additional facts have
been obtained from other sources by the
United States embassy. As Mr. Terrell
will communicate direct with the state
department at Washington on the subject,
the facts in his possession cannot be pre-
maturely given out here. But enough is
known of the disturbances at Kharput to
enable the press to give the following gen-
eral outline of the occurrences:
The trouble between the Kurds and
Mussulmans at Kharput had been brew-
ing for some time past. .On one hand it
was claimed that the.Armenians, excited
by the agents of their revolutionarycom-
"mittee, had been arming themselves, hold-
ing secret meetings and preparing for re-
volt against the Turkish authorities. The
crisis was to be precipitated by an attack
upon the Mussulman quarter.
A second version of the affair is that
the urks, acting under instructions from
the ildiz Kiosk officials, if not from the
sultan himself, deliberately planned to
massacre the Armenians of Kharput. The
Kurds, who were not armed with rifles.
were provided with Weapons similar t
thosa used by the Turkish soldiery an
ammunition was plentifully distributed
among them. At a signal agreed upon a
quarrel was picked with some Armenians,
and the attack upon their quarter was
commenced.
Armenians Were Prepared.
The Armenians, however, had been an-
ticipating an outbreak for some time past,
had armed themselves as well as possible,
and had placed their dwellings in a state
calculated to enable them to hold out as
long as possible. Doors and windows
were quickly barricaded at the first alarm,
and the Armenians, men, women and
children, made so determined a resistance
that the first attack of the Kurds was re
pulsed.
As announced at the time, when it first
became apparent that a disturbance was
imminent, the American missionaries at
Kharput applied for protection to Mr.
Terrell. The latter called personally at
the ports and sent several notes on the
subject to the minister for foreign affairs,
insisting that the Turkish officials should
protect the American missionaries and
olding the sultan and his ministers re-
sponsible for their safety. In view of the
strong representations on this subject
made by the United States minister, the
Turkish officials promised to protect the
lives of the missionaries and detailed
gendarmes to guard their property, with
the result that when the Armenians re-
pulsed the first attack of the Kurds the
latter were so infuriated at the check they
had received that they proceeded to the
quarter of Kharput where the American
mission is located and, quickly overcom-
ing any opposition of the gendarmes, if
there were any present (a point which has
not been definitely ascertained), they ran-
sacked the houses, including eight oi the
American mission buildings, and exploded
a shell in the house of one of the mission-
aries. The American missionaries, how-
ever, escaped uninjured and placed them-
selves under the immediate protection of -
the Turkish governor, who still has them
safe under his care.
Kurds Supported by Troops.
During the pillaging, it has been ascer-
tained beyond doubt the'Kurds were sup-
ported by the Turkish troops in a number
of instances and in other cases the soldiers
remained passive spectators of the rioting.
‘Later, a second and, for the Turks,
more successful attack, was made by the
Kurds upon the Armenian quarter and a
terrible massacre followed. The number
of, victims has not yet been ascertained,
but it is declared to be “enormous. ” Con-
servative estimates say that from 800 to
1,000 persons were killed during the riot-
ing. '
The American missionaries have for-
mally protested againstthe destruction of
their property to the Turkish authorities
and to Mr. Terrell, who, when all the facts
in the case are thoroughly established, will
most likely demand that the Americans
be compensated for their losses.
In fact. it is understood. Mr. Terrell.
has already been assured that the Turkish
government is prepared to do what is right
in the case when all sides have been heard
and the blame is placed where it belongs.
A fresh fanatical outbreak has occurred
at Mush, but it was suppressed by the
Turkish authorities after 40 Armenians
had been killed.
There is evidence from many directions
that the ports has been frightened—by the
gathering of the foreign floats in Salonica
bay and by the advice, accompanied by a
clear statement of the real situation, re-
ceived from' Germany and Austria, who
seem to be acting in accord—into adopting
really energetic repressive measures. This
state of affairs is commended on all sides.
Playing Into Turkey’s .Hand.
The situation in southwest Anatolia;
where the Christians are revolting in large
numbers. is inspiring the most grave anx-
iety, not so much at the Yildiz Kiosk as
among the representatives of the powers
’ here, as this outbreak complicates matters
in a manner well calculated to create
alarm, for it is difficult to see how the
Turk can be prevented from restoring or-
der there by force, which would mean
more bloodshed. . ~
A British warship has been ordered to
Alexandretta, northern Syria, and the
United States cruiser San Francisco, flag-
. .ship of the European squadron, is expect-
ed there daily. In addition, a French war-
ship. has been. dispatchedto B_eir_u_b. finis-

of the greatest alarm, which is telling ter-'
ribly upon his already much weakened
nerves. Rumors of the discovery of plots
against Abdul Hamid’s life are now so
frequent that they no longer attract much
attention, and some of his ministers, it is
known, have to be kept constantly guard-
ed by soldiers in order to give them cour-
age enough to transact the business of
their respective ofiices. -
Throughout the night of Saturday last;
Nov. 16, which was a most critical day
for the Turkish empire, the sultan was
engaged, sitting close to the telegraph in-
strument in the Yildiz Kiosk, personally
dictating instructions to the different pro-
vincial cwvernors to do their utmost to re-
store or or in their districts. This indi-
cates that the sultan has at last had his
eyes opened to the character of his advis-
ers, and that he has finally determined to
take the reins of government in his own
hands. ' - '
Serious Lack of Funds.
The lack of sufficient funds to equip the
reserves called out and the scarcity of reg-
ular troops in the disturbed provinces is a
matter of great concern to the sultan,
who is said to be rapidly getting an idea
of the extent to which misgovernment
has spread, although this has not gone on
without his knowledge. But he appar-
ently deluded himself with the belief that
there would be no ending to the corrup‘
tion prevailing and that there could be no
worse results from it than had been threat-
ened, and only threatened, for so many
years past.
There is one gleam of hope, however,
for the unhappy sultan. Winter, with its
deadly cold and deep snows to interrupt
communication in the disturbed districts,
is approaching, and news from places now
readily accessible will be cut off for long
periods. This, it is expected, will put a
stop to the Kurdish outbreaks more effec-
tively than the Turkish troops. It will
also prevent much news from reaching
Constantinople.
85,000,000 \Vithin Hailing Distance.
The negotiations which the Turkish
government entered into some time ago,
to borrow $5, 000,000 on the tobacco mo-
nopoly of the empire, continue, but with
no definite result, although the prospects
of raising the much needed funds are
brighter now than they were before the
sultan really took measures looking to
putting an end to the disturbances and
'bloodshed in Asia Minor, and if the ener-
getic fit continues the $5,000, 000 may be
forthcoming. '
It was stated at the British embassy to-
day that the return of Sir Philip Currie,
the British embassador to Constantinople,
from London, will now be delayed for
several days longer, as Sir Philip will
make a stop in Paris, possibly at Berlin
and in Vienna, previous to resuming his
duties here. This alteration in his plans,
it is understood, is accounted for by the
change in the attitude of the sultan or by
the fact that the naval demonstration off
Salonica is having the effect hoped for.
_In order to be safe against an outbreak
here, it is reported, the powers have deter-
mined to have two guardboats instead of
one for each country in the Bosporus.
The consent of the ports, it is believed,
can be obtained for this arrangement.
Has the Sultan Been Poisoned? . '
BERLIN, Nov. 20.—-A dispatch received
here from Sofia, Bulgaria, says that the
sultan of Turkey, Abdul Hamid, has been
poisoned. No details are given, and the
story is thought to be a canard. Threats
against his life héd been made for some
time past, letters from the revolutionists
finding their'way into his private apart-
ments. The lives of the ministers, it is
claimed, have also been repeatedly threat~
encd.
Praise For the Indiana.
WASHIEGTON, Nov. fad—Commander
Miyaoka, naval attache of the Japanese
legation here, has made a report to the
naval department of Japan on the merits
of the United States battleship Indiana.
Commander Miyaoka spent a week on the
Indiana and examined her throughout.
He sums up his conclusions in the state-
ment that she is a magnificent ship, equal
to, if not superior to, any battleship of her
,class afloat.
Gold For Export.
‘NEw YORK, Nov. 20.——Lazard Freres
will export $1,250,000 gold tomorrow and
W. H. Crossman 85 Bro. will probably
ship $1,000,000 tomorrow against cables
sold; Exchange was very strong today,
and the demand for cables, it was said,
clearly indicated further considerable
shipments of gold, because there is nothing
else to send to cover them.
The Boston In Commission.
VALLEJO, Cal., Nov. 20.——The United
States steamer Boston was put into com-
mission today. The Boston will gc to the
China station to relieve the Concord, but
the exact date of sailing has not yet been.
