TURKEY IS EYASIYE.
Reply Sent to the Six Powers By the Porte.
IT IS NOT A SATISFACTORY ONE.
It Declares That Mussulmans Were Not the Aggressors, but That the Armenian)*
Killed Inoffensive Mussulmans—Six Am
bassador* Now in Conference on the Re-
I'l.v— lJritisli Fleet Is Lying Off Lemiios.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 11.—Lace yestorcl'.r it bocarue kuowa that tlie Turkish '.'.rwomeut had finally px-eseured to the envoys of the six powers a reply to their collective note on the subject of the recent disturbances here. This reply, however, is not satisfactory to the ambassadors.
Lt purte, in its answer, enumerated the measures taken to'preserve oider and declared that the Mussulmans were not the aggressors in the rioting, but i:. on the contrary, the Armenians killed inoffensive Mussulmans. The Turkish government added that so soon '1 Armenian refugees leave the churches iu which they have sought refuge, the normal aspect of the city will be restored. It denies ordering that no food be supplied to the refugees in the churches, and urges the ambassadors to assist in the work of restoring order, claiming that the Armenian agitators are intriguing to cause fresh disturbances.
The note concludes with the assertion that the government is about to open an inquiry into the recent rioting with the view of discovering the guilty parties.
In view of the unsatisfactory nature of the porte's reply, the six ambassadors have met to consider what shall be done further. It is expected that the dragomans of the different embassies will assist thfe Turkish officials iu clearing the vicinities of the Armenian churches of the rioters infesting them and in installing the refugees in their homes.
The sultan continues to be greatly disturbed by the presence of the British fleet off the island of Lemnos, and has sent again to the ambassador of Great Britain, Sir Philip Currie, to ask for the withdrawal of the British warships from the vicinity of the entrance to the Dardanelles. Sir Philip, it is understood, persists in vet using to recommend tiie withdrawal of the squadron.
Advices received here from Trebizond, Armenia, confirm the report that a massacre of Armenians has occurred there. It is added that a general panic prevails in that city. Tiie number of killed is not known.
Nothing definite has yet been heard from Sivas, Van or Bitlis, where disturbances between the Turks and Armenians are reported to have taken pi.ioo.
A consignment of 5,000 Mauser rifles, ordered by the Turkish government, arrived here several days ago, but they still remain on the lighters to which they wore transferred, as the bill of the manufacturers had not been paid and the iijreittd of the latter decline to give up io rides until the money is forthcoming.
Isczet Effendi, a celebrated Turkish lawyer, has been arrested on the charge of being the author of the placards which were posted in the public thorough fares of Stamboul, espousing the Armenian cause.

He would not trust to promises.
