WHOLE LOT OF TALK.Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Interviewed.BLAMES THE ARMENIANS WITH IT ALLThey Were Incited By Revolutionary CommitteesTHE SULTAN COULD NOT QUELL THEMThe Powers Still Apprehensive Over the Situation and Hold Another Conference At the Home of the French Ambassador —The Fesu.t of the Session Not Known Will Demand More Warships ou the Black Sea, But the Action of the Sultan Is Doubtful.Constantinople, Via Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 23.—(Copyrighted by the Associated Press).—The Sultan has not yet author ized the passage of the Dardanelles by the extra guardships asked for by the representatives here of Great Braitain, Italy, Austria and Russia. This is causing more and more uneasiness here. Unless Abdul Hamid submits there is likely to be trouble as the powers insist that extra gunboats are absolutely necessary for the protection of the foreign population here Representatives of the Associated Press had an interview today on the political situation with Tewfik^Pasha, minister of foreign affairs. The 'Pasha assured the correspondent everything possible was being done for the protection of American and other missionaries in Asia Minor and those who are desirous of leaving the interior could do so under escoit. In view of the disturbed state of the country, the minister for foreign affairs suggested that perhaps this would bo the best course to adopt for the present and that the work of the missionaries may be re sumed later when matters were brighter. The minister, however, said the latest news from the provinces was much moie reassuring than it had been for some time past. Everywhere, he added, on the ar rival of troops order was being restored and the Armenians were not being severe ly treated.* Referring to the measures adopted by the governor with a view* to bringing about restoration of order in Asia Minor, the minister said he had no doubt the reforms would be strictly carried out and the government wculd shortly bo able to announce a complete restoration of order. He declares the commisson appointed to supervise the reforms is actively prosecut ing its labors and the commission had already selected the officials who were to be appointed to the various posts.As to the cause of the disturbances the Pasha expressed the opinion thore was no possibility of doubting they were caused by revolutionary committees of Armenians who for a long time past had been sending agents to Asia Minor, stirring up the inhabitants against the authorities of the Sultan and doing everything to bring about breaks against the local authorities which, when suppressed by the latter, were classed as massacres and exaggerated in the grossest manner possible.As to the prospect of European intervention Tewffk Pasha could only say he saw no probab lity of such a step belug necessary, as the powers were assured that^the Sultan was in earnest in doing everything possible to restore order.Another prolonged meeting of the representatives of tho powers was held at the official residence of the French ambassador and although it was not definitely known what transpired, it is stated upon good authority *hat the situation is still causing the most grave auxiety to the diplomats. The impression prevails at the ambassies, however, that the Porte will acquiesce to the demand of the powers for extra guardships. But the ambassadors fear the pacification of the disturbed provinces will be an extremely difficult task, owing to the probability that the measures that have been adopted or will be adopted will not be of an impartial nature and that Musselmans will be favored by the Turkish officials, and the Christians wUl bo oppressed.Owing to tho fact the police discovered a number of revolutionary placards posted in the Psamatia Quarter of Stamboul the Armenian shops thore have been closed and extra precautions taken to prevent trouble. The police are striving hard to discover where the Armenian revolutionary matter^originated but so far has not met with success.WILL APPEAR TOMORROW.andrhe Consolidated Chicago Journal Press with a Double Force.Chicago, Nov.
