LONDON. Oct IA dispatch 70 the
Daily News from Constantinoplc says:
Reliable news has been received here
that fifty Armeninns were killed and
n number wounded at Akhissar, IN the
villayet OF Adm, on the Anatolian rail-
way. 5y Moslem mob
The slaughter occurred on October Q.
which was market day. when many
Armenians had gathered from adjacent
villages Early in the morning Turk
fish rough, finding that the Armenians
were not armed, picked quarrel npd
ahot one OF them. There WIS then
raised on all sidesthe cry: "Why hesi-
tate 20 massacre the infidels2'
A mob OF Turks, armed with revolt
vers and knives, looted the market and
massacrcd the helpless Armenians.
Their bodies were thrown into the
wells. IL Is stated that the mudir was
responsible for the attack. No women
or children were injured, probably on
account OK the arrival of Kaimailxan
from the village OF Gieve, miles dis
tant, who made valiant efforts at the
risk of his own life to save the Chris
tians
The panic Is reviving in Constanti-
nopIe on account Of the continued iso-
lated attacks, and the Armcnians are
again foclsing into the churches. The
police disregard the safe-conduct cards
given TO the Armenians by the foreign
embassies and they insult and mall
treat the holders of them.

crs for Armenian reforms If this is
not accepted an ultimatum will be pre-
scented.
No further notifications will be

teal with the proposals OF last May.
IL is believed, however. that Russia
hesitates TO force an acceptance be-
cause she fears ultimate Armenian
