THE EASTERN QUESTION.
IMPENDING EVENTS IN TURKEY. REPORT ON THE ARMENIAN ATROCITIES. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. London, January 28. The correspondents of the Daily News at Vienna and Paris both state that remarkable stories are afloat about impending events in Turkey. The Russian volunteer fleet is shipping armaments at Sebasfcopol and military movements are going forward in the Caucasus. January 29. Mr Gladstone, in another letter on the Armenian atrocities, laments the murderous wickedness of the Sultan which, he says, cannot be equalled, and which is a disgrace to the Powers. The report of the Commission appointed by the Powers to enquire into the Armenian atrocities states that the accounts of the massacres have been enormously exaggerated in most cases, but that 900 were slaughtered at Sassoun, while many of the survivore were outraged and hunted like wild beasts.
