\ Repetition of the Dutchery at Ba-
talk, Bulgaria.


London, Nov. IA dispatch to the
Standard from Werna, Bulgaria, says
that despite the Turkish governments
silence facts have come out which leave
no doubt that d massacre of Christians
has occurred on as important g, scale
as the hatchery at Batok, Bulgaria,
which sent a thrill of horror through
the civilized world The trouble began
pay tax on the plea, possibly well
founded, that the frequent Kurdish
raids have impoverished them.
In the meantime, the governor of
Bitlis reported to the porte that serious
revolts had broken out and obtained
permission to send all obtainable troops
to the scene.
Marshal Zeki Pasha, commander of
the Fourth army corps, stationed at
Erzinger, was ordered to proceed hither
and direct operations. Before this i'm
posing array of regulars the Armenians
tamely submitted.
Now comes the horrible part of the
story. The governor of Bitlis resolved
to make an example in order to- pre-
vent a repetition of the revolt He
ordered the troops TO fire on the de-
fenceless people. The order waS exc
cuted and the soldiers only rested from
their labors when twenty-five villages
were destroyed and thousands OF their
inhabitants killed
Mr.. Hallward, the British consul at
Varna, proceeded to the scene and then
reported to the British ambassador who
protested to the Porte. The sultan, ex-
pressed horror and ordered an i'm
mediate report from Marshal Zeki
which appears to have seriously in
VOWED the governor of Bitlis. The
latter in self-defence and as a. means
Of obtaining revenge, has formulated
the grave charges against Mr.. Haliward
of melting the Armenians to- revolt.
This is being investigated by British
officials.

FOUR WOMEN ASSAULTED.
Brutal Work by Negro at Atchi-
son. Kansas.

Atchisom Kan, Nov. 16.-Betwesn
$40 and $50 this morning an unknown
negro entered the house of four white
women living within four blocks Of
each other, and outraged them. The
fiend was evidently acquainted with the
habits of the male folks, VINO We're alb
sent at the time. The victims are Mrs.
Michael Cain, Miss Rosa Cain. Mrs.
Grossman and Mrs. Benjamin Poston.
Searching parties are looking for the
negro.
1t was finally learned that the fiend
was Tom Collins. a negro hoStler from
Fort Leavenworth, who had been in
Atchison the past three days on a spree.
He was traced to LeaVenWorth, arrest
ed and brought here this evening. He
was secretly taken to the county jail,
where, tonight, he is under heavy
guard.
1t is now thought that the law will
be allowed to take it's course.
Mrs. Cain is in precarinus condition
tonight and may succumb to her in
juries. Her daughter and the other
two women also suffered injury, but
will recover.
Mrs. Cain was asleep when the brute
entered her room. When She made an
throat, cutting a slight cash. Her
screams had awakened her daughter,
vino fed the house in her night clothes.
The villain, desisting in his attempt to
injure Mrs. Cain, made for the door at
the same time, and Miss Cain, believ-
ing he was pursuing Iher, jumped
through q window. Although the
neighborhood had been awakened by
this time, Collins made an attempt to
injure Miss Cain and in trying to choke
her into submission, caused the blood
Ito flow from her mouth. Some of the
Ineighbors came upon the scene and me
fled. Immediately the alarm was given
and a searching party organized. but
Collins was lucky enough to have a
start and escaped, as noted, to Leaven-
worth. His capture by the officials
later was all that saved his life.
