STOESSEL SENTENCED TO DEATH ing Ordered to the Frontier. Tiflis—Reports have been received here from Armenia that all the Redias, or Turkish army reserve forces in Van, Mush and other villayets of Asia Minor have been called to the colors and are departing rapidly for the frontier, At the same time a league of the Turkish revolutionary party is increasing the revolutionary agitation, Appeals and proclamations are being issued exhorting the population to protest In every Way possible against the warlike plans of the sultan. The league holds that war would be espe elally disastrous at this time, as there is a famine in Asia Minor At Tifli’ the apprehension of hostilities has not abated. The Russian military authorities have ordered that all horses in the Caucasus available for military purposes be registered, The doctors of Tifils held a meeting recently and volunteered their services in case of war. The concentration of Turkish γοserves on the Persian and Russian frontiers in Asia Minor, if in progress, is an outcome of the border difficulty with Persia, Recently Turkish troops crossed the Persian frontier to the vicinity of Urumiah and committed depredations. To this Russia, under her treaty obligations to Persia, objected and began the concentration of a strong force on the frontier of the Caucasus, This show of military ac. tivity was though to have been sufficient to put a stop to the Turkish aggression, and the Russian movement was sald to have been discontinued, If the reports from Armenia are true, the difficulty in Asia Minor, which is closely connected with the railroad aspirations of the powers in the Balkans, may assume serious import.
