EXECUTION OF A CHRISTIAN AT CoNsTANTrNopLE -
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. 23-A short distance from
where ! am now writing lies the headess trunk OF
man who has just been decapitated for other
crime than that OF protesting the faith OF nearly the
whole OF Europe. He was an Armenian by birth,
and after arriving at the age OF manhood, in
evil hour, under the influence OF too much strong
drink, II is said, he renounced his religion and
became Musselman.
He had no sooner recovered possession of his
mind than he saw the madness OF the step he had
taken, and embracing the first opportunity he fled
To Greece. How long he renamed there ! do not
know; but, assuming the European dress he return
ed 10 this city, where he recognized, and
thrown into prison. Every effort was made by
threats and promises 10 induce him to return TO the
faith of the false prophet, but in vain. He was on
several different occasions led out in chains to diff
terent parts OF the city, TOR execution, and with the
sword OF the execuhoner drawn over his head he
was required to renounce the Christian religion and
believe IN Mahommed but he resolutely persisted
IN declaring that he was ready TO die rather than
deny Christ.
On each occasion he was remanded TO prison,
and some say that torture there used to effect
what the threat OF instant death could not To-day
however the victim OF Mahommedan fanatcism re
celved the crown OF martyrdom, in the midst of
one oil the most trequented streets of the CITY And
with the express intention OF throwing all posi-
Die lpdignity on the name OF Christian, and on the
Christian governments OF the world, he was eXecu-
ted in his European dress, and after decapitation
the head, with Frank cap upon it, was placed be-
tween the legs.
Ii is public and most outrageous insult upon all
Christian nations Every European here feels the
lndlgnity, but yet no seems to know what is the
proper remedy 1t is currently reported that previ
Gus TO this lnhuman murder, both the Russian and
English ambassadors made strong circumstances to
the Government ag alnst the anticipated act of bar
barsm butwlthout the slightest effect. The onyrepy
was that this Is matter OF religion which 1t belongs
10 the Shekh Is am to manage, and that the Co
vernment could not interfere. / do not vouch for
the truth of this story, although everybody here be-
lleves IT.
The Monlteur publishes report, addressed by
Vice Admiral de Mackau TO the King, giving TO his
Majesty an account of the situation of the Depart

The Minister exposed that the budget of 1919 only
provided for l64 vesses-namely, lao armed % laid
up IN ordinary and IN commission, whilst the ef-
fecuve force still 207, 1872 of which are armed
instead OF l40. He then observes, that a mature
examination had demonstrated to him, that if any
reductions possible they should be very limited
"ln that respect, should not" he says, sin any
case propose to your Majesty TO reduce the number
OF armed vessels. ] consider their maintenance in
actlce service, and much as possible their forma-
uon into squadrons, as a condition necessary for
placing the country III possession OF a real naval
force. A long experience OF the past. and my own
personal observations during my recent residence at
TouloH, induce me to set very great importance
on preserving entire the armameRt collected In the
Mediterranean"
He then proceeds to state, that the construction
and armament OF the Is transatlantic seam-pack-
cts, which were 10 be completed in 1S43 would ex-
