The Turkish Crisis.
SENSATIONAL ESCAPE OF SAID PASHA AND HIS SON. (Per Press Association) Constantinople. Dec. 7. The Snltan is much irritated at Said Pasha refusing the Viziership unless Izyet Bey, one of the most favored advisers of the Snltan, is dismissed. He accuses Said Pasha of aiding Moslem reformers. Said Pasha and his eldest son, evadding spies made their escape," and reached the British Embassy, where they pleaded for help, as their liberty and life were in peril. The Sultan sent several Ministers to the Embassy to negotiate for the surrender of Said Pasha, but Sir P. Currie declined the request, and declared that the refugees would remain his guests as long as they choose. This action has caused a tremendous sensation. Spies surround the Embassy and British blue-jackets are within. Said Pasha, hitherto, was anti-British and very popular with the Moslems. | Russia is arranging for the transfer of forty of her torpodo boats to the Black Sea. December 8. The Turks charge the Armenians with outrages at Anatobia ; also with poisoning wells. Turkish troops surrounded the British gunboat fearing that Said Pasha would escape aboard her. Sir P. Currie, however protested, and they were withdrawn. __________________________
