Sir W. White to the Marquis of Salisbury.— (Received May 15.)
My Lord, Constantinople, May 5, 1891.
AAMTH reference to my despatch of the 13th March, I have the honoui to
transmit herewith to your Lordship a copy of a despatch which I have received Irom
Her Majesty’s Acting Consul at Erzeroum, informing me of further accusations
that have been brought to his knowledge against Ahmed Bey, ex-Kaimakam o
Alashgird. „
By my instructions, Sir A. Sandison at once brought the matter to the notice o
the Grand \ r izier.
His Highness, in reply, stated that he thought Halim Bey, Ahmed's successor,
was likely to proceed at once to bis post at Alashgird, and that he would not delay his
arrival till the Yali returned, as represented by Mr. Hampson.
I have, &c.
(Signed) W. A WHITE.
