Missionaries Embrace Death Rather Than
isiami-m.

LONDON. Dec. 2g.-The Daily News
prints a dispatch from Constantinople,
saying that the house OF the Protestant
pastor at Chumkush. near Diarkebir was
set on fire by Kurds. and that the pastor
was badly burned in seeking to make bis
escape When hc reached the outside
Of his burning home. he was seized by
the Kurds. who told him that he must
make his choice between accepting ls-
lamism and being killed lie chose
death.
AT Sivas pastor named KuenidJan
met a similar fate after refusing 10
abandon his faith Eleven Protestant
pastors ina the Kharput district who
were connected with the American Board
OF Foreign Missions, gave up their lies
rather than TO abandon Christ.
A letter describing the massacres at
Arabkir has been received from chris
tan woman. She says. After father
was killed The rest OF u.s. women and
children. managed 20 reach a central
room that had been established hy the
American missionaries, whore we staid
for six days before we dared 90 leave.
When we left. We found that our own
house had been entirely burned"
The correspondent of the United Press
of COnstantnople says that the cOutinu-
Gus publication of Official falschoOds has
become one OF the most dangerous Gle
ments of the political situation there.
Censorship Of the Turkish press exists.
Latteriy. It's sole object has been TO sup
press facts, and 20 compel publication
OF articles relative 10 the Armenians,
which ere prepared at the palace. and Of
alleged teleerams. written under physical
compulaion. by wretchcd Armenian pris-
oncrs. in the dungeons OF Asiatic Turkey.
I'm reality. tho Turkish newspapers are
edited at tho palace.
The result OF tits use Of the press IS
that the Mohammedan pOpulace az Con-
stantinoplc find thoir chief reason for
discomfort with the sultan in his failure
TO order the destruction of Christians
generally They suppose that the Ar
menians Of Asiatic Turkey have muir
derd and pillaGod great numbers Of Mos
lens and that the foreign gun-boats
have come 20 the Bosphorus, I'm order
20 encourage tho Christians IN insurrec-
ton
The report that the Turkish troons
had captured Zetoun from the nsursent
Armonians had IT'S origin in a statement
made by General Mustafa Remiz.
Reports now show that the city has
not been taken by the Turks The
place, which is filed with refugees. is
invested by the troops. General Mustafa
Remiz demanded the surrender OF the
city. and eighteen Of the Armenian nota-
hies went outside the fortih-
cations TO treat for surrender
Fifteen Of these ENJOYS were detained
by the Turkish general who sent the
other three back with the terms he
offered 10y the surrender Of the place.
These terms included the giving up OF
their arms by the Armenians.
General Remit asked for orders from
Constantinonle and the Sultan issued
an trade. ordering that battle be avoid
ed If there was any chance Of procuring
the surrender by other means.
