369. From Constantinople:1
List of Americans who have left Constantinople since May 4.
[Here follows the list.]
Except a few naturalized citizens all Americans residents of Constantinople desiring to leave have already left for Switzerland. Not counting officers and crew of Scorpion with their families, numbering in all 85, there are about 70 other Americans residents of this city still here, none of whom now desire to leave. There are now in Constantinople 8 Americans from Brusa and Smyrna whose departure could not be arranged in time. All Americans have left Brusa and no more will leave Smyrna, but many others wish to leave rest of Asia Minor and Syria. These can come here only gradually to leave with Ambassador or after new arrangement with Vienna. Consular personnel from Jerusalem and Beirut are on their way here. Jackson will presumably soon leave Aleppo. No word yet received concerning departure of Davis from Harput and Nathan from Mersina.
