ALLEGED TORTURE.

The Story of Cruelty in Honolulu is Fur
ther DiscredIted.
BosToN, Feb. 20.-Hon. German d.
Gilman writes as follows regarding the
torture said to have been perpetrated
on Capt. Davies, of Honolulu, by the
authorities. to force confession of
himself and associates in the late in
surrection:
The whole account bears the strong
est evidence of fake story, without a
single foundation of truth. Capt.
Davies was arrested abont January Z
or s. His part was very evident and
public. Arms were known to have
been landed for the insurgents from
the steamer under Davies command.
There was no doubt of this Conse-
quently the arrest,
s'The agreement, as detailed by Capt
Davies with the rebel leaders, was that
he was to be paid the large sum of SlO,-
600 for his part in the work. The fact
that he was only paid $40 may have
had something to do with his readiness
to testify to the facts. The latest
dates from Honolulu are about four
weeks after Capt. Davies arrest and
trial. 1t is almost impossible to be-
lieve that such cruelties could have
been practiced on any prisoner at Hon
olulu and the general public not know
of it.
THE Honolulu newspapers printed
during the weeks between the arrest
and latest dates make no allusion to
any torture

Mrs. Douglass, thinking this was
part of his description, was not
alarmed, but as she looked he sank
lower and lower and finally Law
stretched upon the floor, breathing his
last. Realizing he was ill, she raised
his head and then understood that he
was dying. She was alone in the house
and rushed to the front door with cries
for help. Some men who were near by
quickly responded and attempted to
restore the dying man. One of them
called DR.. J. Stewart Harrison and
while he was injecting a restorative
into the patients arm, Mr. Douglass
passed away, seemingly without pain.

perlntendence of the National Educa-

CLEVELAND, Feb 20.-The annual
meeting of the department of superin-
tendence of the National Educational
association was called to order in Asso-
citation hall yesterday morning. There
were about 200 superintendents pres
ent. The gathering, perhaps, included
more of the braiDy pedagogues of the
country than any other that Cleveland
ever had the honor to entertain.
The meeting was called to order by
President Maxwell, who called upon
Bishop Leonard to open the convention
with prayer. He was followed by May
or Blee, who welcomed the instructors
to the city. Director Sargent, on be-
half of the board of education, deliv-
cred an address of welcome. President
Maxwell, of Brooklyn, N. Y, responded
to the warm welcomes extended to the
convention. He said that this was the
first time the meeting had been held in
the west, and he thought it fitting
that it should first come to Cleveland.
Without further delay the discussion
of the subject ''How to Test the Quail
ty of Teachers Work" was begun.
The papers were limited to fifteen min
utes each and the discussion to ten min
utes.
The meeting will continue for three
days, with morning, afternoon and
evening sessions, when subjects of par
amount Importance to the heads of the
schools of the most important cities in
the United States will be discussed.

A MARCH OF DEATH.

Thrilling Description of the Butchery of
Christians in Asia MinOr-Over Seven
Thousand Victims of Turkish Lust for
Blood.
BosToN, Feb. 21.-The Globe pub
fishes the following 'om Moosh, Asia
Minor, which it says Is the first de-
scription by an eyewitness of ''Moosh-
Ter Pasha's march of blood"
Mooshier Pasha is the military gov
ernor of the city of Erzroom and
started, by order of the sultan, into the
Sassoun district last September In
Vulnerable burned villages and 1928
lives was the price of this official visit.
MoosH, Asia Minor Jan. THE
number Of our dead countrymen in the
four towns visited by Mooshier Pasha
will not be far short of $500. This is
from the bodies counted and known to
have perished. We cannot tell how
many Others there may be. The first
town entered by Mooshier was Shinak.
1t contained four villages.
When our people here heard of the
arrival of the pasha, Father Johannis
with some of the leading townsmen
went to meet him to beseech him to
have mercy upon them. They were
surrounded by soldiers long before they
could get to Mooshier Pasha and every
one was killed. Their bodies were put
in the church and burned. Then they
proceeded to burn the villages The
number killed from Shinak proper num-
Der 623 and 317 from the rest of the viii
lagos. Those who escaped are now in
the villages surrounding this town, but
the villagers are themselves very poor
and many go hungry.
Mooshier Pasha left Shinak to go to
the next town in the Sassoun district
This town is Alyan, and has fourteen
villages. The people heard of his com
ing and that he had twenty-four COM
panies of men, besides three cannon.
They knew that it was useless to ap-
peal to him so they fed to the village
of Chi, because of its rocks and steppes
and there they could better escape him.
They stayed in the mountains for al
most twenty days and when all food
was gone and there was nothing left to
do. they fed as best they could. Two
thousand bodies were left behind at Chi
Gali-Gazan was next, and because the
town has twenty-five villages around
it, Mooshicr brought Kurds, Ahmidi and
irregulars numbering $4,000. The town
was deserted, for the people, with all
tho food they could carry, had fled to
mountains, They stayed there for
thirty days, AMI at last with frenzy
born Of hunger and despair they made
q terrible rush down the mountain side
and attacked the tyraIts instead of
waiting TO be killed Patriot Varlan
was ike god and killed nineteen men
with his sword before he fell dead. Fa-
ther Bcdras was soldier, too, and en-
couraged his children, and when he
was al last killed his body was cut in
pieces and given to the dogs.
Al Pag was the last town that the
bloodthirsty tyrant visited and this
place contains eight villages. The
people had for the most part made
their escape, but when Mooshier and
his soldiers went their way, 1900 bodies
were found even here.

VICTIMS OF FIRE.

Three Women Burned TO Death at Hot
Springs, Ark. = Twenty-eight Buildings
Consumed.
HoT SPRINGS, Ark, Feb. 2S.-At 4:15
o'clock yesterday marning a fire broke
out in the Ledgerwood bakery, in the
southern part of the city, where board
ing houses abound, and in an hour
three women had been burned to death,
six boarding houses, several stores and
fifteen cottages, all worth 800, 900,
had been swept away. The dead are:
Mrs. Laura Scammon, Mrs Henri j.
Mcleod and colored woman, Austine
Stivetto. Mr.. and Mrs. G. II. Brown
son, of Macon, No., Mrs. Peacock and
others were injured, though none dan
gerously.
There was strong wind from the
north, which famed the flames but
prevented them from moving in the di-
rection of the principal business part
of the city where the big hotels and
bath houses are located.
The Ledgerwood bakery was frame
building, on the second story of which
Mrs Scammon had furnished apart
ments to let Charles Ledgerwood first
saw the flames and in his efforts to ex-
tinguish them neglected to warn peo-
pie in the neighborhood. Nothing was
heard of Mrs. Scammon until the fire
was over, when her bones were found
in the ashes,
Mrs. Mcleod was guest OF the La
Clede boarding house. She was aroused
and with her husband started out of
the house, but before reaching the door
remembered some jewelry she had
failed to save and returned for 1T
against the advice of her husband.
When she started back she found her
way blocked by the flames. Her hus-
band tried to reach her and almost lost
his life in the unsuccessful effort She
endeavored to rush through the flames,
but fell down in their midst and per-
ished. The remains of the colored wo-
man was found in a partly saved room
in the same house.
The buildings burned are twenty
eight in aumber. There are fifteen cot
tages of an aggregate value of S25, 900.
There are at least 300 men, women and
children driven to other quarters for
lodging by the destruction of the board
ing houses, and most of them lost all
their clothing.

HoARDED GOLD REAPPEARs.

The Premium Has Disappeared and the
Syndicate Got All it Wanted for Moth
ing-Facts of Interest
New YORK, Feb. 23.-The deposit by
Mr.. Morgan of $1,123,O gold in eX-
change for grcenbacks is the first
evidence of what is believed to be an
other prominent feature in the syndi-
cate plans. Nothing in the contract
provides for exchange of gold for green
backs, but it is said good deal of this
is likely to be done by the syndicate.
In the early stages of the operation it
was understood some members of the
syndicate would hold themselves ready
to deposit gold in the treasury against
legal tenders in addition to providing
gold to the amount of their share. 1t is
probable that considerable amount of
gold will be received by the syndicate
in payment for the bonds and it is nat
ural to suppose all of this will go into
the treasury in exchange for green
backs.
1t seems clear, in addition to replen-
ishing the treasury reserve and to some
extent governing the exchange market,
it will be an object with the syndicate
to bring gold out of boarding and thus
cause it to gravitate into the treasury,
which is the natural place for it. The
premium on gold disappeared Thurs
day morning. What has been called q
premium has really been commission
and other charges TO the syndicate
for getting gold. Now the syndicate
is getting all the gold it wants for
nothing. Institutions, in order to get
the bonds, are making all kinds of
propositions to furnish gold, no mat
ter from what country the syndicate
wants it. All charges will be borne by
the applicants.
1t has been practically decided to
make allotments in London larger than
$31 ,OO0 900 owing to the extraordinary
demand for the bonds there. This is
done to aid the syndicate in getting
foreign gold. t...l
