SLAUGHTERED IN BATCHEs
ljnarmed Armenians ButChered
by Turks Every Night.
WORST ACCOUNTS CONFIRMED
Immense Trenches Were Dug and Into
These the Soldiers for a Whole Week
Bayoneted and sabred the Helpless In
habitants -One of the Butchers Tells How
He Himself Killed seven People.

London, March 21.-The correspondent
in Armenia, of the Daily News, sends to
that paper story told by Turkish sol
dier who took part in the sassoun outrages,
and who has since quilted the army and
fed across the Russian border His story
confirms the worst accounts of the out
RACES
he tells how the Turks sent the Kurds to
do the rough work of burning the Armenian
villages and numbering the inhabitants.
1t was Turks, he added, who cut off the
fugitives as they were trying to escape.
Describing the outrages In the village
OF Djellj GooZan, the scene of the pit
massacre" i" the Turk says that two Immense
trenches were dug and the soldiers were
told off into parties to butcher the in
habitants.
For over week one party or another was
marched at nightfall TO the trenches, where
the soldiers were ordered to bayonet and
butcher patches OF unarmed, helpless
Armenians
The Turk remorsefully admits that he
killed seven persons, but says he would have
been killed himself had he disobeyed the
order OF his superior officer.
In an editorial comment on the foregoing
dispatch the Daily News says that the ordin-
ary calculations OF diplomacy can have no
place in the deliberations of the powers in
this crisis of the fate of Armenia.

STREWN WITH WRECKAGE
All Along COnil's Coast Are Evidences
Of Ill-fated Reina Regente.
Commander Fernald Says the Cruiser Was
About the Most ToI heavy Ship
he Ever Saw.

Madrid. March 20.-There no longer
seems To be any doubt that the story of
the wreck of the Spanish cruiser Reina
Regente is true.
The Coast OF Conil, north of Cape Trafal-
gar, where the cruiser foundered, according
to the report of the commander OF the
Alfonzo XII. is strewn with wrechage be-
longing TO the Reina Regente and with Of
ficers' uniforms, flags, etc, sho ing
beyond any reasonable doubt that the war
ship is lost
The authorities VIII not allow people
near the Coast of Conil, fearing painful
scenes when the bodies of the drowned
sailors are recovered.
New York. March G.-CommanderF Frank
T. Fernald, stationed al the Brooklyn navy
yard as chief of construction, said to-day:

good chance to study her points.
''She was about the most top-heayy ship
/ ever saw. Her officers Informed me
that she had 400 tons OF water ballast in
her double bottoms to keep her from rolling
over. she had a great amount of free
board. and her heavy battery was mounted
too high.
She was a splendid example of what
a naval constructor should avoid. When
we took her out of the dry dock here I
was in deadly fear she would topple over. 3"

SHATTERED BY DYNAMITE
Twenty thousand kilos Explode on a
Vessel on the Rhine.
Eleven Persons Killed and Not Trace Of
Them to Be Found-Property in Dis
tant Villages Wrecked.

Cologne, March 2o.-A terrible explo-
sion of dynamite took place yesterday even
ing at salmorth. in the district of Dussel-
dorf. The cargo of the ship Elizabeth, con-
sisting of 5000 kilos of dynamite, was
being unloaded when the explosion oc-
Cured killing number of people and doing
a terrible amount OF damage
The exact number of persons killed is not
known.
Another vessel, which was alongside the
Elizabeth, caught fire and was burned
The explosion was felt for miles, and was
at first believed to have been the result of
an earthquake. Several houses collapsed
at Keeken and other villages, and windows
were shattered within wide area.
At Cleves, five miles from the scene of
the explosion, doors were torn off and win
dow frames W ere smashed
The bodies of five victims of tn e explosion
have already been recovered, and six per-
sons, believed to have been killed, are still
missing.
The force of the explosion was so great
that three vessels at Lobith, the last Dutch
village on the Rhine, We're sunk. 1t
has transpired that the Elizabeth was TAX
ing the dynamite on board instead of dis
charging it, as was at first reported.
Two hundred and twenty tons of the
explosive was taken in six boats from
Lobith TO Salmorth last January, en- route
to Antwerp, whence il was TO have been
shipped to Australia. Owing to the ice
blockade in the river the dynamite was
landed at Salmorth, where it was stored
awaiting the reopening of navigation.
In the meantime the Elizabeth had been
chartered to take the dynamite forward
and the cargo was being stored yesterday
when part OF it exploded. The cause of
the explosion is unknown, as every per-
son on board the Elizabeth was killed.

The sanity Of Joseph A. Beam, ntriai for
the murder of his stepdaughter. Mrs.
Leahy, in December last. was the subject
Of the evidence given in the case before
Judge Cole yesterday. The taking of testt-
mony was concluded. Prayers will Ee sub
mitted at 10 O'Clock this morning, and argu-
ments VIII be made
1t is understood that two and a half to
three hours VIII tie allowed each side. Mr.
Jeffords VIII speak first for the govern
ment and Mr. BirneS VIII close. For the
defense Mr. Duffy VIII probably open the
argument and Mr.. Truitt close.
Dr.. John P. Chaplin, of Philadelphia, an
expert in diseases of the mind. was the last
witness. He was called by the government
in rebuttal. After listening to the testimony
Of the witnesses for the defense who testi-
fled TO Beams alleged insane acts, and to
the contrary evidence Offered by the govern
ment, and after an examination Of Beam
at the jail yesterday, DR.. Chaplin testified
that the defendant is sane, and at the time
of the killing was not so beside himself
with passion that he did not know right
from wrong.
SCIENTIFIC SIDE OF THE CASE
He explained at length the grounds upon
which he based his opinion, and gave the
scientific aspect of Eeam's condition Dr.
Chaplin is the expert who testified for the
government in the Schneider murder trial.
Policeman c. J. Wagner said that Beam
had several times been arrested for as
sauIt and threats, and was addicted to
drink Beam talked inteugently at the
time of the murder. MeSSTS. J. ". Wal
tiers and James Woodward, guards at the
jail, said that Beam eats and sleeps well,
and on Tuesday night talked nationally
of his trial.
DR.. d. W. Shute. the jaf physician,
said Beam was in good health and not sub
iect to hallfcinatiens so far as ne could
learn. Beam declined TO talk to him
about the trial, under the advice Of counsel.
He talked, however, with Dr. Chaplin.
Station-keepeT William 81. BurkhaTt said
he talked with Beam soon after the killing
OF Mrs. Leahy, and he explained that he
had not prepared to kill the woman, but
shot her on the impulse of the moment. He
was wild with anger at being denied the
privilege of seeing his wife.
MAN OF VIOLENT TEMPER.
Police sergt e. J. Wall and Policeman
NJ 6. Flynn, Frank P Smith Henry
Ehlers and Henry 7. Fisher gave testimony,
much alike, of Beams spells, and Mr..
Smith said Beam had been convicted of
assault upon his step-daughter. They
considered the defendant man OF violent
temper. but not insane.
F. W. PiliDg, the builder, said Beam
was pig g-headed, bot good workman
and not insane.
Additional testimony for the defense
given yesterday was that Beam was dan
gerous, and the witnesses, most of whom at
one time or another, had worked with him,
Were always on the lookout to
prevent his doing them some mischief.
They considered him insane. His talk
was wild and incoherent.
NJ. L. Thompson said Beam used to make
imaginary measurements of trees, and
would frequently set in the woods for houra
at time.
