I. TERRELL PRAISED Our Minister to Turkey Saved Many Lives. Tlio Situation In Anatolia Still Grave —Sultan Refuges To Permit Additions to tho Foreign Fleet in tho Bosphorus—American Mis sionaries at Aintab Safe. Washington, Nov. 26. —Dispatches re ceived hero from Constantinople say that, although the situation in Ana tolia is much more tranquil than for some time, all danger is not passed by any means and that an outbreak may yet occur among the inhabitants, whose passions are only slumbering, not ex tinguished. The governor of liadjin, who threatened to burn the convent there and set fire to the barley fields in that vicinity, owing to the strong representations made to the porte by Mr. Terrell, has been recalled, and his conduct will be looked into. The mem bers of the American colony there and the other foreign residents join in praising the energetic and effective action of Mr. Terrell under very try ing circumstances, lie has undoubt edly been the means of saving Ameri- j can lives and property. The main question now under discussion between the porte and the representatives of , the powers is that of adding four extra guardships to the little foreign fleet in the Bosphorus. Turkish Government's View. Although these just demands were made more than a week ago. on the ground that the foreign population of Constantinople needed this additional protection, and although on Saturday a report was circulated that the firman had been issued, the sultan still holds out iu his refusal to grant the required permission. From high authority the view taken by the Turkish government can be given as follows: While admit ting that the powers possess the treaty right to have two guardships each in the Bosphorus. the porte considers that the proposed increase in the number of foreign war vessels there, under the present condition of things there and elsewhere in the 'Turkish empire, might excite the Mussulmans and pro duce an effect far from the one desired by the powers. The reply points out also that, In view of the measures taken to preserve order there, any increase in the number of guardships attached to the embassies is not required. This is the substance of a note which the port has sent to the representatives of the powers. A Blow lo the Sultan's Dignity. A conference of the ambassadors will be called to consider the note, and a joint reply may be sent to the porte. The substance of the note will also be telegraphed to the different Ottoman embassies and ministries abroad, with instructions to inform the governments they are accredited to of the stand as sumed bv the sultan in this matter. The Turkish representatives at Lon don, St. Petersburg, Koine and Vienna will also bo instructed earnestly to re quest the four powers not to insist upon their demands. While the above is a summary of the reply, the repugnance of the porte to granting the firman applied for is attributed, in political circles, to the belief existing among the Turkish ministers and the sultan's palaco officials that to do so would be a blow to the sultan's dignity and di rect proof of lack of confidence upon the part of the powers in his ability to govern and maintain order. Another Outbreak Feared. Behind this, it is said, lurks tho sul tan's fear that the demand is really only a cloak for tho intention of the powers to make a naval demonstration in Turkish waters in case of renewed disturbances in Asiatic Turkey. No foreigner in Constantinople doubts that an increase in the number of guard ships is necessary for tho better protection of the foreign population. An apparently well founded report is in circulation that the Armenians of the capital, undismayed by the recent bloodshed there, have projected fresh demonstrations at the instigation of the central revolutionary committee, and are in hopes of being joined by the Young Turks party. The Austrian am bassador, Baron von Culise, has made a direct appeal to the Armenian patri arch to do his utmost to prevent another outbreak, warning him that such an occurrence would do the greatest harm to the Armenian cause and would tend to defeat the object the Armenians and their friends had in view. Exiled Armenians. The patriarch assured Baron von Calise that tho Armenians had not planned another demonstration, "al though," ho said, "despair reigns among them, owing to the incessant arrests and exiling of Armenians.'' lie insisted that 400 Armenians of that vicinity have recently been exiled to Anatolia. The absence of new , from Zeitoun, which the Armenians an >till said to he holding in strong force, and the failure of the government to fur nish any information regarding the concentration of Turkish troops at Marasli, are causing some uneasiness. No news is obtainable, either, concern ing the rising of the Druses against Turkish rule, one of the most serious features of the whole situation. The Turks are looking forward to the coin ing of winter with hope that it will aid them in putting down disorders, while the thousands of homeless Armenians seem doomed to endure terrible suffer lug's. Safely of Missionaries Assured. United S' '.s Minister Terrell has received a • spatch from Aintab announcing safety of the American missionari -*e belonging to the cen tral Turkey mission. The missionaries say that protection was afforded them | by the Turkish authorities. Mr. Terrell j says he is satisfied that the 172 mis- J sionaric in Anatolia are safe. Definite information has been received here that the missionaries attached to the station at Khurput have left that place, under 1 escort, for the Black sea coast. The situation there is still grave and very complicated. SDNS A TION A Li STATEMENT. Rev. I)r. Johnson Says U. S. Minister Terrell Is a Mohammedan. Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 20.—Rev. J. T.

New York, Nov. 26.—A Cuban mes senger, who arrived at the Cuban junta late yesterday afternoon direct from the seat of the revolution, reported that on Nov. 19 one of the lurgest battles that has been fought since the begin ning of the present trouble with Spain took place.

The battle occurred at Taguasco, a town in the in terior of the island. The Spanish forces consisted of about 10,900 men, while the Cubans had but about 4.000. The Spaniards were led by Generals Valdes, Luquo and Aldave, and Gen. Maximo Gomez was at the head of the Cubans. Fouglit Thirty-six Hours. The Cubans had a most favorable position at the bottom of a hill. For thirty-six hours the opposing forces fought, but the Spaniards were unable to drive the Cubans back.

With the aid of this reinforcement tho Spaniards were quickly routed. The Cubans advanced then toward Trinidad and Cie. Killed and Wounded, 000. Gen. Ahlavo is reported to have been killed in tlio battle and the total num ber of killed and wounded is placed at 600. Gen. Gomez secured 700 rifles and a large amount of ammunition.

Will Go to Newport To Roeeivo Her Torpedo Outfit. Washington, Nov. 26.—1t is said at the navy department that the battle ship Maine will not receive a thorough overhauling at tho Newport torpedo station, as reported, but will merely go there to have her torpedo outfit placed on board.
