TURKISH SITUATION.

American Reply.

AN INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION.

(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Anstrnlian-N.Z. Cable Association;) Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock. NEW YORK, March 23.

The Now York Times' Washington correspondent states that it is understood that the United States reply to the Allies concerning the latter's tentative plan for the settlement of the Turkish situation will point out that the United States sees no good reason for the retention of the Sultan at Constantinople, and does not believe that the ejection of the Sultan will cause a Mohammedan uprising.

The reply further indicates that Armenia should receive all the territory she can safely defend, including an outlet to the sea. No Government should have a paramount interest in the development of the Turkish territory, and an internation commission, with Russian representation, should administer the straits:
