IS BAD AS EVER.
Turkish Persecution Of Arme-
mans Continues as in =
Former Years.
NEWS OF FRESH ATROCITIES.
The Sultan Counting Revolu-
ton and Likely to Have
His Wish.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-The Daily News
has advices dated Armenia, July ~.
which say:
The condition Of the Armenians is
worse than ever. They regard Shakir
Pasha as their worst enemy and his ap-
pointment as contemptuous defiance
Of Europe's demand. Deliberate perse-
cution, slaughter and pillage OF the
Armenians are pursued today with the
ruthless vigor and fiendish inge-
nuity as in formor years. Arms
are distributed among the Moslems in
the frontier districts and every
day news arrives of fresh murders,
wholesale imprisonments and pillages.
The authorities in the great towns
from time to time march heavily
manacled gangs of limping and
wounded Armenian prisoners through
the streets. If the sultan is counting
revolution he will surely have his way,
Unless the persecution is stopped the
country will soon be in such blaze
that nothing short of Russian occupa-
ton will extinguish it.
