Mr. Terrell to Mr. Gresham.

[Telegram.]

Consul Gibson reports that Americans at Marash, Hadjin, Aintab, Orfa apprehend being massacred. A hostile feeling toward missionaries exists at Erzeroum, Van, Bitlis. Have demanded telegraphic orders to all civil and military functionaries to enforce respect for Americans, which I am informed at the Sublime Porte have been sent.

Terrell.
