London, October ia dispatch to
the Daily News from Constantinople
saws: Reliable news has been receiv-
ed here that fifty Armenians were killed
and number wounded at Akhissar in
the valley Of Adm, on the Anatolian
railway, by a MOslem mob.
THE slaughter occurred on October
9. which was market day. when many
Armenians had gathered from adjacent
villages.
Early in the morning a Turkish
rough. finding that the Armenians were
not armed, picked quarrel and shot
one of the men. There was then rails
ed on all sides the cry of: Why hesi-
tate to massacre the infdels?
"a mob of Turks, armed with re-
volvers and knives, then looted the
market and massocred the helples Ar
menians. Their bodies were thrown in
to the wells.
1T is stated that the Mudir was re-
sponsible for the attack. No women or
children were injured, probably on ac-
count of the arrival of Kaimaikan from
the village of Gieve, three miles dis
tant who made valieht efforts at che
risk of his own life to save the Chris
tians. Otherwise the slaughter would
have been complete.
"The panic is regiving in CONSTANT
nople, on account of the continued iso-
lated attacks and the Armenians are
again foclc.ng into the churches. The
police disregard the safe conduct cards
given to the Armenians by the foreign
embassies and they insult and NAL
treat the holders of them"
The ConstantinOple correspondent Of
the Standard blames the Armenian rev.
oludonary committees for forcing the
Armenians to close their shops and to
maintain the appearance of panic
when the Armenians themselves are
ready to resume business.
London, October ia dispatch to
the Times from Athens describing the
growing discomfort with Turkish rule
on the island of Crete, says that band
of a thousand armed Christians recently
met at Klima to petition the Sultan to
restore he charter abolished in 1899,
and for a reform OF taxation and the
gendarmes. The governor of Crete
sent troops against the petitioners, who
withdrew to the mountain Businesses,
whittier the troops did not dare follow.
They now threaten to foment a rebil-
lion in favor Of annexation to Greece.
The Greek government, fearing compli-
cations, deprecates such a Cretan move
ment, but the situation is perilous.

HAS BEEN NO ULTIMATUM
From Secretary of State Olney to Great
Britain in the Venezue! n Matter

From Secretary of State Olney to Great
Britain in the Nenezue n Matter.
London, October 15.-United States
Ambassador Bayard was interviewed TO-
day respecting the report in the United
States that he had been instructed by
Secretary Olney to submit an ultimaJum
TO Great Britain in the Venezuelan ques-
ton in the form of a dispatch, the sub
stance of which was said to be that the
United States will never consent TO
British occupation of the disputed ter
ritOry in Venezuela unless that nations
right to it is first determined by arbi-
tratiOn. Mr.. Bayard ridiculed the state
ment of an ultimatum having been
drawn up by the United States and said
he could not seriously discuss the mat
ter. The fact, however, remains, that
since the diplomatic break between
Great Britain and Venezuela some years
ago the United States has been anxious
to bring about a friendly settlement of
the question and had repeatedly endea-
yored to find means for its satisfactory
solution. The same situation continues
at present and the longer the matter
was allowed to drift, the more anxious
would the United States become to see
it definitely settled. That was all MIR.
Bayard could say about the matter.
