(Copyright, Canada, by the New York Herald Company.) Jan. 15. CONSTANTINOPLE, Events seem to have settled the ques- tins of an American mandate for Armenia in the near east. While proponents of the mandatory idea have been arguing, agitating and pleading, there have been developments in the near east which now preclude the of any mandate whatsoever in that part of the world for the United Bute. . concessions. l 1 Many Americans, especially those familier with Turkey, have advocated a mandate by the United States for all Turkish territory, in order to set up autonomous government by the various subject peoples. This is in response to a call from practically all of these nationalities Turks, Armenians, Hurds, Mesopotamians, Syrians and Arabs. The native demand for an American mandate has been well nigh unanimous. It has seemed the one way out of the dangerous near eastern muddle. Europe Grabs to Keep. In the present state of mind of America, suen a discussion could neces-- t sarily be only academic. The United Btates ia in no mood to take a mandate over any inch of the earths surface Meanwhile, even before most Ameri cans were aware that the mandate had seriously confronted them, the European nations had qnietly gone forward with their own plans. I Roughly summarized, the situation in what used to be the Ottoman empire is as follows: Constantinople remains Turkish, but in the control of the in-- I tersJliea commission, with the French kt the moment in highest favor with lha Turks. Western Anatolia, while BU kominally Turkish, is now held by the Greeks. Next to them the Italian forces are in oecupancy. Further east, in Oalieia, the French also hold Syria, down to Palestine, where the British rule. In Arabia, the e Hejas kingdom, a British puppet state, has been set up, but its claims' to lead all Arabia are repudiated by the other tribes. In Mesopotamia, the British . rule, without any semblance of native In the Turkish Cau I casus there is much claiming of terri tory, but no sovereignty except that of the Turks.

MADRID, Jan. 31. The delivery at the wrong address of a quantity of pastry provoked a disturbance in the village of Caceres, in which two persons were fatally injured. The village priest of Nuevo Caceres, on the twenty fifth anniversary of bis entry into office, ordered a supply of pastry and other refreshments from the nearest town for the entertainment of his parishoners. No refreshments however, arrived, and ultimately the company dispersed, amid much grumbling. A porter, meantime, who had. m error, been dispatched to the village of Caceres, six miles distant, instead of to Nuevo Caceres, delivered to the local parish pmkt, wbo had only recently taken up his duties there, the pastnes and wine intended for his colleague at Nuevo Caceres.

There was high politics in this , scheme, as well as the perfectly natural desire of the Armenians to secure this further assistance from the nation whieh had already helped them in their sufferings. The question has been threshed out before the senate committee on foreign relations, and it is now . an open secret that a mandate over Armenia by this country is one of the impossibilities.
