Associated lresSThe situation here on
tho question of the extra guardshiis of
tho lowers remains unchanged and con
tinues to offer a tribute to the powers of
delay and evasion of oriental diplomacy
as practiced by tho Tutklsh government
Statements are constantly reiterated of the
continued accord of the powers on the
subject and their unyielding determina
tion to insist upon a conipllancn with
their demands Less Is heard however
of the rumors which were of fiequent
occurrence In tho early period after the de-
mand hud been presented that the sultan
hud nt htfigth decided to grant the neces-
sary firmans to permit the paanie of the
Dardatif lies or even that he had actually
issued them Neither Is there such ex-
plicit announcement any moro ot the
pcilod which Is to elapse befor a move-
ment of tho worships of tho powern Is to
comincnco to enforce the demands mado
upon tho sultan Since the return of 11
M S Dryad to Salnnlea Hay no word has
been hoard of any actual order or move-
ment to advance Ukui tho Dardanelles
Opinion continues divided as to whether
tint delay In taking action to enforce the
demands Is duo to a fear of causlns a
fanatical outbreak ngtilnot the Christiana
by tho Mussulmans subjects of tho sul-
tan or to a dread of a clash ensuing be-
tween tho powers themselves
The riceptlon today by the sultan of M
NelldolT tho ItosMau ambassador In prl
vate audience awakens the iwual amount
of peculation as to Die true relation of
Russia to tho situation and the extent ot
her agreement with tho views of tho pow
i rs i
The night of Said Pasha and his refuge
In the llrltlsh ambnssy are tho subjects

duce him to return In the Vlldlz palace
Indicate his fenr either that ho has lost
the most powerful Intermediary that he
could hope for between himself and the

mands they make upon him or tho most
dangerous adversary ho could fear hav-
ing lu counsel with thejpowers

st nut apprehension of his life was In
dicated tiy his ilomeanor dining the course
of tho Solamlk on Friday which Involved
the departure of the sultan from the walls
of thn palace and his appearance in pub
lie for a sort of rovlew of the troops at-
tended by ninny high officials followed
by priyeiH at tho mosque
On Friday as the sultan was quitting

to the powers against the exrluslon of
his messengers but the oilier umbassu
dors support Sir Phillip Currle in his posi-
tion The report thai they advlso Said

Authentic details have now been rereivisl

tho slaughter began on November 12 and
continue I for a week following It Is
known that 12 > Armenians and ten Turks
were killed hefoie there waa a cissitlon

The manner of the outbreak Is described

Suddenly at noon an If by precemeerted

tacked und looted Cm Armenian shops
mid pursued with releitbss furv the oc-
cupants wlin seenioii helpless villi sur-
prise at the suddenness of the onslaught
Manv merchants and clerks were killed
and their bodies stripped As the import-
ing business was almost exclusively In
the hands of tho Armenians financial dis-
aster must overtake the Hlvns when the
fury of tho storm of blood and greed has
subsldtsl
The stricken Armenians slowlv gathered
the mangled remains of their kinsmen and
burled them In u great trench In the cem-
etery The Arrmninn villages In the vl
rlnltv weie also lootid and the people
left to lieg and die
A blab official In a position t know
declares that the massacres were th de-
liberate act of the pultuns vcneance for
having been compelled to grant the re-
forms In Armenia demanded by the pov
rrsA few of the Turkish shops vere At-
tacked to afTord it pretext on which to
arrest Armenians for having started the
disorder
The expulsion and removal of the Ar
