TREATED AS A GUEST.
GENERAL TOWNSHEXD. COURTESIES FROM TURKS. Router's Telegram. LONDON. July 13. The Daily Mail has published a letter from General Townshend, who was taken by the Turks at the fall of Kut-el-Amara, to a friend. The general says that he is living in a charming villa on a most beautiful island in the Sea of Marmora. He is free to use a yacht and to visit Pera, the Christian part of Constantinople, as often as he likes. He is treated as a guest, not as a prisoner. Enver Pasha has granted permission to General Townshend's wife and daughter to join him.
