CONSTANTINOPLE , Dec. 5. ( Via Sofia ,
Ilulgarla , Dec. C. ) The feature of the politi
cal situation here today Is the step taken by
Bald 1'aoha , president of the council of state ,
and formerly grand vlzlcr , In seeking refuge
today , accompanied by his son , n lad of about
12 years , In the British embassy ,
An Investigation of the affair shows that
the sultan yesterday sent n special messen
ger to Said Pasha Inviting him to occupy
the chatelet within the grounds of the
ylldlz park , which was formerly occupied by
Mldliat Pallia , at ono tlmo governor general
cf Syria , later governor of Smyrna , and who
was tried on suspicion of having been con
nected with the murder of the late Sultan
Abdul Alr. Fully aware of the significance
of this Invitation , Said Pasha declined. This
Is said to have made Abdul Harnld take steps
to arrest his former grand vlrler , who Is
fcuspectcd by. the palace people of Intriguing
far the deposition of the present sultan In
favor of ex-Sultan Murad , now a prisoner In
i lie ylldlz kiosk , and who was declared by
the council of ministers In 1STC to b9 sulfer-
Ing from Idiocy. Abdul Humid , It pecms , bo-
Ilavcn that Said Pasha was trying to- In
fluence the council ot stnto to declare him
( the Kiillnn ) suffering from weakness of
mind. This so enraged Abdul Harnld that he
determined to get Said Pusha out of the
way. It may not have been the plan to
nctually murder the latter , but nobody doubts
that If he hai' been enticed into the ylldlz
chatelet he would have at lea- remained
there a close prisoner for a long time to
come , nnd some morning the news ot his
"suicide" would possibly have been clrcu-
htcd.
SAID PASHA IN DISFAVOR.
In addition to suspecting Said Pasha , o
desiring hit * deposition the sultan has been
led to believe that the former grand vlzter
made no earnest efforts to Induce the powers
to withdraw their demands for the extra
guard ships. It was pointed out to the
sultan that If Said Pasha's Influence hai
been strong enough to bring about the rccal
of the British gunboat Dryad from the en
trance of the Dardanelles , It was sufficient , Ir
view of the peaceful condition of Constant !
nople and the efforts being made to restore
order In the provinces , to persuade the
powtis to waive their claims for mldltlotra
guard ships. It was In vain that Said Pasha
had protested that he had done everything
possible under the circumstances. The sultar
would not listen to hla explanations and
drove him from his presence. Tew Ok Pasha
the minister for foreign affairs , some days
ago , bitterly denounced him for his alleged
treachery. When Said Pasha had left the
palace the advisers of Abdul Harnld were no
Blow to Intimate that the president of the
council of state was a dangerous enemy who
hhould be promptly deprived of the power o
doing further harm. The sultan was Im
pressed with the Idea. But Said Pasha was
too Important n parsonage to bo
dragged from hH residence by th
police or soldiers. Somebody lilt upor
the Idea of tempting Said Pasha once more-
within the gates of the jlldlz kiosk by the
offer of the vlzlenUc , Rlfat Pasha , the pres
cut grand vlzlpr. being supposed to have-
fallen Into disrepute with his royal master.
TOO OLD A FOX ,
Said Pdsha. Irounvcr , l too well versed li
the traditions of the ylldlz kiosk to be
raught with such a bait. He sent n polltt
refusal when formally offered tha vl-slorate
and this Ird to the less subtle offer of ac
coimnodatlon In the famous Mldliat Pashi
chatclot of the jlldU park. The pasha re
fused this tempting offer unless ths "prcwrr
conditions of the government were changed. '
and when he hciird that the I'ullan. ' nerve *
to desperation by the Intimations of the
palace coin tiers , had determined upon his
arrest , ho lost no time In placing lilmsel
under the protection of Sir Philip Currie.
Then It bec.rme known that during the
progress of these negotiations. Said Pasha
upon ono occasion was detained at tlio palace
so long that his friends , who had been fearIng -
Ing his arrestor weeks past , went to the
ambassador's for advice.
Nobody hero doubts that Said Pasha had
Kflod reason to seek the protection of the
British ambjssador and the situation l rec-
ognUcd on all sides ns being extremely criti
cal.
cal.AVhen
AVhen the sultan was Informed of the
course taken by Said Pasha ho was greatly
' Incensed and nude several futile attempts
to Induce the fugitive to return to his house.
Ho sent Tew Ilk Pashn nnd other ministers to
the British embassy , where they had a long
Interview with Said Pasha , and held out all
kinds of promises to him on tlio sultan's be
half , but all their efforts to persuade the
pasha to leave the embassy came to nothing.
Said firmly refused to trust himself outside
of his asylum.
WILL STAY WIIBIID HE IS.
Later In the day Tewflk Pasha visited Sir
Philip Currlo and begged the ambassador to
do his utmost to Induce Said Pasha to re
turn to his humc- , making use of the argu
ment that the- ( light of the president of the
council of ktato was certain to have n very
bad effect upon the population of Constanti
nople and might rnusa trouble of a most
htrioiis nature. But all these arguments
wcro thrown away upon Sir Philip , who ,
after listening quietly to all his caller had
to say nn the subject , politely told him that
ho could not Interfere In the matter. He
added th.it Said Pasha had asked for an
asylum and that his request had been
granted. There the matter ended , so far as
the British ambatBador vat ) concerned.
The failure of To\\llk Pasha's errand In
creased tlm anger of Abdul Hamld , who sent
his secretary to Interview the fugitive presi
dent of tin- council of state. The secretary
spent two hours with Said Paeha at the cm-
tansy doing hs ! utmost to persuade him to
return to his residence. But no amount of
argument would change the mind of the
riaulm and tlio secretary went uwav as un-
as Tcwflk Pasha ,
the ambassadors then met at the residence
of the French ambassador to consider the
situation ,
t'SUAL ' RUMORS AFLOAT.
Tire usual rumors are afloat In regard to
the piobablllly of the concert of the powers
being broken and it Is Intimated that the
miltaii In llki > ly to come out ahead once more
In hli struggle with the powers on the
Kunrdshlp question , as there Is a possibility
of Russia and Prance withdrawing their de
mands. This rumor does not attract thd at
tention that It would have attracted had It
riot be for the fact that the tame report
has been started by the palace ofllclals a
number of times during the past two weeks.
fills c\onliiK the situation In the Interior
Is still dlsqulPtltiB In spite of the assurances
of the Turkish government.
United States Minister Terrell lias not re
ceived a telegram of reply from the Ameri
can mli'.loiurlee at Caerarea , to whom he
wired Immediately after hearing of the out
break of disorder there. Thi has served to
Increase the- anxiety at the American ministry.
Mr Terrell has addressed two notes to the
porie , one of them demanding the dltnnltsal ,
arrest and punishment of the officer corn-
niandlriR the Turkish troops at Marash for
falling to furnish a guard for the protection
cf ( he American mission building * there , and
also demanding the punishment of the ( sol
diers who joined the rlotera In pillaging the
American property at Miraih , The second
note declares ( hat the conduct of the calmu-
Ivana of AlnUb and Martovan , the mutestarlf
of Amaiela , anil the colonel In command of
the Turklnh Iroopa at Marioran are worthy
ot the highest praise , adding that they all
acted humanely and heroically during tha
riots.
AN ACT OP HEROISM.
I An net cf iKroltm on the part ot Miss
Mary Brewer , an American missionary at
Slvas , la reported. During the worst of the
tlmo of the massacre at Slvas , she , In spite
of the great peril to which she wan exposed ,
went to the- American consulate , accompanied
by a canvasu , traversing the scene of car
nage , In order to save an Armenian woman
who had been of service to the missionaries.
Miss Brewer conducted her In safety to the
consulate.
Advices received hero from Marash show
that the Armenians arc still holding Zeltoun
against the Turklsh troops , and It Is also
mid that lie ! o Insurgents are Russian
Armenians , and that there Is no doubt but
fierce lighting must take place before the
place Is captured.
A letter received here from Marsovan
dated November 19 , states that prsvlous to
the maisacre there a report was current that
the Turks were nutliorlrcd to kill the Chris-
Hans for four hour * . The Armenians , how
ever , wcro aspured they had nothing to fear
but rleverthclesu they were butchered the
next day by the Turks , who , while at prayer ,
were alarmed by a report that I ho Armeni
ans were attacking the mosque , and rushe < ]

and began murdering the Christians and lootIng -
Ing their residences The cntimikan patrolle' '
the town and did their best to stop the blood-
uhod. The exact number of persons klllei !
Is not known , but there Is no doubt thai
many people were massacred.
IIOMU , Dec. C. A dispatch from Con
stantinople reports that the British , Russian
French and Italian consuls at Krzeroum
have signed a memorandum declaring the
massacre there was not provokcxl by the Ar
menians. This hag been presented to the
porte. No news has been received from the
interior of Armenia since November 20 , owing
to the fall of snow and consequent Impas-
wblo condition of the country.

ROCHESTUR , N. Y. , Dec. G. In an Inter
view today Andrew D. White , ex-minister to
Russia , faald'When at > kcd his opinion on the
Turklfiti-Armrnlan question : "There is a
widespread demand In America , arising from
the reports of the * Armenian outrages , that
the sii I tun b ? summarily dealt with and de
poned by tlis powers. To do this without
taking preliminary precautions would be to
invite the moat terrible massacre of the
nineteenth century. Unlera prevented , the
sultan would certainly escape Into Asia Minor
ralre the standard of Mahomet , and call the
faithful to a war of extermination. The
massacres reported from Armenia are slight
compared with the butchery that would fol
low. Scarcely a Christian In the confines of
Mohammedanism could escape. The slaugh
ter would be well nigh universal. The Turak
had never a genius for civilization , but they
are , when Inspired by the fanaticism of re
ligion , among the bravest fighters In the
world.
"This Is my plan for the solution of th :
question : Let ! the powers depose the sultan
and place on the throne some able man con
nected with the royal family of Russia.
Then united Europe guarantee absolutsly the
Independence of such government from out
side Interference' . Fortunately there arc two
men In Huropa today who would suit the
emergency. Primarily , my choice would bo
the Grand Duke Alexander , who married the
sister of the present czar. Alexander visited
the World's fair nt Chicago and U' a man of
ability and liberal ldns. The other avail
able candldato for the Turkish throne Is
King Qeorgo of Greece , who Is an uncle of
the Russian czar.
"I believe , too , " continued Mr. White ,
"that the Kmopenti nations should be given
som ; sli.rre of the spoils of the east In order
to maintain the stability of a Turkish govern
ment surh as suggested , to protect the boun
daries of the new empire and to preserve
peace and order. Let Russia , for Instance ,
have full swing In Armsnla ; give Syria to
France ; let England's title to Egypt bo con
firmed. Austria should be allowed Salonlci
for a Mediterranean seaport and Italy might
In return be given Trieste , on the Adriatic ,

the fact that rome of thd missionaries have

force large enough to overrun the small gar

then burned sixteen houses , all belonging to
Cubans.
There was no military necessity for sucl
destruction. The owners ot the houses
mostly poor people , bsggKl the Insurgents to

Some Insurgents suddenly fired on the group
from a thicket. They were compelled to
rush to cover , seizing their clothes as tboj
ran. The Insurgents continued firing untl
driven off by the soldiers.
La Dlscuslon , a homo rule newspaper of
very liberal tendencies , says today of the re
cent statement made by the govenor gen
eral :
"General Campos , with his dignified words
has oxerclt'Jd much better Judgment towari
the United States than the conversatlvcs
hero have. In a statement to the New York
World a few days ago , he was just to the
American people and to their government
and when he spoke of why he thought the
Ir-surgcnts might bo recognized , he redueec
the question to Its real dimensions. To serve
.jSpaln It Is not ncccsEtary to take events In
too tragic a light. If the friendly relations
between Spain and the United States wore
broken , no one would celebrate more than
the Insurgents. "

Apaches Is of more Importance than was nt
first supposed. The bodies of four whit ? men
\\ero found yesterday In the lower Glla val

United States troop ! . This Is forty-five rnlle
from Ash Springs , where the Merrills were
killed , so that It must have been done by a
different party of Indians , nnd undoubttdlj
by a larger band. Settlers In that section are
under arms and the troops from Korts Bayard

The Ash Springs murderers have been trnllci

for the Apaches when they hav * been doing
mischief.

murder neat Ash Springs. The Indian camp
on the reservation east of Apicho were vis
Ited. No Indians were reported absvsnt. The
march from Apache was made In good time
The Indians who killed Merrill and his ( laughter
tor doubtless belong to the Kid's band , as no
Indian' are known to be absent from the
reservation e\cpt these renegades. Troops
are out from Fort Grant , and also from For
Bayard.
No news was received today from Sherlf

of the Indians Tuesday morning. At last ac
counts nineteen men were In pursuit and the
trail was plain. Old Indian trailers here
think the popje Is In close pursuit or thej
would have been heard from. The trail was
going toward Stein's pasa , but it Is believed
that It the posse had cros-ed the Southern
Pacific railroad It would have been hean
from , consequently It is believed that the
Indians have turned north. A company of
soldUrs arrived at San Simeon yesterday.

VICTIMI/.ii > CINCINNATI II V.MCS.

1'nrt of Ohio.
ST. LOUIS , Dec. 6. The story has become
public today that Z. T. Lewis of Urbana , who
victimised numbers of people by selling
forged municipal bonds , and who , after an at
tempt to support himself by denial or by
buying off his accusers , finally absconded , Is
now hotly pursued over the world by Ralph
Crawford , a Cincinnati detective. It Is a
story which offoids opportunity for enlarge-
incut , for the chief feature of It Is that
Crawford has unlimited means In cash and
letters of credit to enable him to travel
around the globe If necessary , nnd that his
money Is furnished by Cincinnati banks ,
which , until now. have been silent victims
of Lewis' forged bond business.
Itjs said that the Cincinnati bankets kept
perfectly quiet about a loss that Is given
everywhere from $150,000 to $260,000 through
Lewis' wiles , but that four weeks ago they
formed a pool and got permission of the
police commissioners to employ Detective
Ralph Crawford to search for the absconding
Lewis. The police , of course. , are bound to
secrecy regarding Crawford's movements ,
The banks naturally have no revelations to
inako concerning uuch heavy losses Inclined
through handling forged paper. The enl )
known fact Is that Detective Ci.iwford lus
! > een gone on a mysterious mission four
weeks. Ho has been credited with getting
on the trail of Lewis , but the unotliclal ac
counts , which arc the only ones available ,
differ widely as to the location , Ono places

agree that Detective Crawford Is equipped

WASHINGTON , Dee. C. While It Is ituc ,
us bcforo stated In the Awoclatcd prcsw dis
patches , that thci administration Is aware
that Lord Salisbury's reply to Secretary ,
Olncy's note of July last touching the Vene
zuelan boundiry dispute Is adverse to the
proposition to arbitrate the title to the land1 *
lying westward of the Srheinlurg line , the
fact that the report has not jet loicneil
Washington precludes the Idea of any speedy
action by our government In tills matter.
When the reply Is received by Sir Jullm
Pnunccfoto ho may occupy himself several
days at least In Its careful consideration In
order that ho may make sure that he IB transv
mltllng to Sccretnty Olney the views of hl
government , so far as It Is propr for them
to bo communicated to the United States
government without at the same time Im
porting any portion ot the note that may bo
framed for his private guidance. Then the.
absence of the president from Washington
would operate further ta dehy proceedings
at the State department , for Secretary Olney
would not feel Justified In inaMng a forward
movement nt this stage of the case , which Is
now commonly regarded a ? at least approachIng -
Ing a critical point , without advising fully
with the president A the latter has prom-
Ibcd congress to communicate In a hpe lal
message thfe nature of Lord Salisbury's reply ,
further delay may be caused by the" prepara
tion of tills message. On the whole. It K
probiblo that the next step cannot bo taken
before the latter part of the present month ,
If no early.
From what Is gathered as to the na'uro ' ot
Lord Salisbury's note It Is assumed hero that
It Is really calculated to make an Issue ,
which If allowed to fall Into the court ? ? of
treatment usual In diplomatic controversies ,
will drift along for an Indefinite period of
time , elnce while there Is no abatement or
the insertion of Great Britain's right to the
larger portion of the territory ( st of the
Schombsrg line , arguments for the first tlmo
are submitted to Justify this assertion. Here
tofore all of the facts prest'iited to our gov
ernment conc'rnlng the rightful ownership of
the disputed territory have come from Vene
zuelan sources. The British government , It
Is true , has been afforded frequent opportuni
ties In recent jears to present Its case , but
never heretofore has It goneto far as to
admit that there could be any doubt of lt
title and therefore has It gone on the theory
that there was nothing to argue. Diplomat
ically conslclcicd , therefore , this last move-
of Lord Salisbury's may ba rigurdel lib very
clever , for he can easily And precedents to.
Justify his request that the Ilrltlsh casebe
decided on Itb merits. This Is all new to our
government ; as compliance with the request
would Involve much patient rcarch and com
parison of authorities , maps and surveys.
This Is calculated to consume a great deal
of time , and carry the Ist-ue along to a period
when perhaps Great Britain , blng fred from
Its present embarrassing situation , growing
out of the Turkish complications , will bo able
to devote her entire energies to a settlement
of the Venezuelan question.
Lord Salisbury's reply to Secretary Olney's
letter requesting a final and definite answer
as to Great Britain's purposes concerning
Venezuela , Is In Washington , having been
delivered to Sir Julian PnuncofOtD , the Brit
ish ambassador , tonight. The answer was
biouxht to Washington by Donalson , the spe
cial messenger of the embassy , who makes
regular trips to New York for the purpose of
carrying the official mall to and from Wanli-
iUKn.ii. Donaltoir received the reply from the
stewards of the steamship Britannic , on
which It arrived at Now York at 9 o'clock
this morning. Donalson Immediately left
for Washington. The greatest Interest cen
ters here as to the nature of the- reply which
Lord Salisbury has made to the Amor lean
secictary of state. Ambassador Paunccfote *
said tonight that Lord Salisbury's letter
would bo presented to Secretary Olney tomor

WASHINGTON , Dee. C Thsro was a pre ty
general illpcuailcm of Venezuelan affairs
among members of the house today. The *
general opinion among those who will have
the conduct of foreign affairs In the house )
In that Lord Salisbury's reply will be a
diplomatic evasion of the main IESUO ; that
It will ba couched In the most friendly terms ,
and while expressing n willingness to arbi
trate as to n portion of the disputed territory ,
will deny the right of the United States to
abk Great Britain to arbitrate as to territory ;
the ownership of which Great Britain claims
an tier's beyond dispute. In other words , 16
Is believed that Great Britain will temporlzo
with the subject nnd simply open the way foa
further correspondence.
"As the cot respondent , " sttld a prominent
republican member today , "will show that
this bus been England's poslilnn and policy )
for fifty years , she will seem to yield home-
thing , but she will stake off a line beyond
which she will not go In the matter of arbl-\
tratlon. That was Lord Grcnvllle's policy. It
will lie Salisbury's , Though Snllfbury Is lin-
parlous by Inclination , ha will be exceedingly ,
cautlouH. The considerations Involved In an
open bicjcli with Hngland or anything approaching
preaching Hiich ire gigantic. Credits will bo
Immediately shaken. The question of tha
tariff I * of mere Importance to tiicut Britain
than the ounershp of a frw gold mines In
VcMf/ueli , Above all things , depend upon
It that Kngland will not by any act of lier'a
aggravate an anti-English fefling In this
country , or give cause , If the most delicate *
uitH of diplomacy can prevent It , for a wun
limitation here. England dreads unfavorable *
tariff legislation. She knows that the first )
retiilt of a bitter antl-Kugllsh fetllng would )
be retaliation upon her through a radical re
vision ot the tariff. A tariff Induced by hos
tility to England , growing out of Knghtnd'a
cncrojchiro-U In this hcmlufhe e , would ( tend
2,000,000 Kngllshmen tn bed without ( heir )
