ARMENIAN SUFFERING.
Many Lives Lost From Poverty and
starvation.

LONDON, March l8.-The Daily Tele-
graph has dispatch from Moush, date
not given, and forwarded from kars
Yesterday. 1t says that the commits
sioners have learned that the Armenian
priest. Hatchadoor, and his son were
ordered by gendarmes to sign a docu-
ment ascribing the massacre to the
Kurds, and clearing the Turks OF all
blame. The Hatchadoors refused TO do
SO. Gendarms then placed h. ated tri-
angles around their necks. The com
mission desires to examine the TWO VIC
tins, but the latter are too i'll. The
Turkish government tried by every
means TO compel the survivors OF the
massacres to return to their respective
villages, and rebuild the huts. They
promised money, seed corn, exemption
from taxes and the restitution of prop
erty. Nearly all refused, and subse-
quently were terribly treated. Some
returned, and now are literally starving
if not dead. Many who were wealthy
and respected are now in abject poverty.
The correspondent quotes an instance
of villagers practically naked, and sub
sisting on millet seed. The stock of this
seed, he says, must have given out a
fortnight ago. These people had no
hopes of help and probably are dying or
dead. Ii assistance be sent through the
delegates in Moush or the American
missionaries in Bitlls, some lives may
be saved. He writes OF girls OF IA, six
daughters of victims of the massacre,
who returned to Semal half naked, and
died without food or fire in hut at
night during a snow storm. He names
six villages where the few survivors of
the massacres are starving.

This Time the Report Says the Ameri-

New YORK, March 19.-The Heralds
special from Key West, Fla, says: Pas
sengers on the steamer which arrived
from Havana last night bring news of
reports in circulation there of further
depredations by Spanish cruisers on
American vessels along the Cuban coast.
The latest report is that the Spanish
gunboat Arcedo fired into and sunk an
American schooner off Puerto del Padre.
1t is reported that the crew OF the vessel
numbering sixteen persons persisted
with it. 1t is not known whether the
schooner had arms or carried an expe-
dition Tor the Cubans. 1t was reported
in Havana that the schooner had sailed
from Key West. Inquiries, however,
fail to chow that any boat is missing or
unreported, except those engaged in le-
ultimate trade. Many sailed recently
for West Indian ports with fruit cargoes.
Puerto del Padre is harbor on the
northeast coast of Cuba, in latitude
2I:l7 north, longitude rs AZ west. 1t
has a long and narrow entrance, and al
fords excellent anchorage. 1t is not far
from the place where the Spanish gun
boat fred on the Alliance.

CHICAGO, March ia large number
of the Pullman strikers of last summer
with their families and others intend to
settle this spring, as a colony, in the

which committee was appointed to
make prospecting trips to view the va

alton in Tennessee, Alabama and Louisi-
ana. 1t is said that of the Pullman
strikers, who, it is alleged, were black
listed, over 2U0 have been unable to OBJ
tain work elsewhere. Most OF these will
be members of the colony. Many of
those who now have employment in the
Pullman shops are anxious to cast their
lot with the colony. 1t will also have
many others both employed and unem-
ployed at the present time. All the
stores in the colony will be cooperative.
A member OF the colony says:
mo positive franchises tor supplying
its members with public necessities shall
be granted by the association. The

The Marshheld Man Had Policy Ready
in Case OF Accident.
SAN Francisco, March 10. - Gustaf
Broman appeared in Judge Joachim's
court yesterday in answer to a charge of
perjury preferred against him by Mrs.
Constance Roy. The case was continued
till tomorrow. The detectives were cor
rect in their suspicion that Broman
would have some insurance policy on
his life before he gave out that he would
attempt the foolhardy trip from Coos
bay to this city in a twelve-foot boat.
The detectives idea was that if on the
trip the boat would be found on some
beach bottom up, Broman's friends
would claim the insurance on the ground
that he had been drowned, and it would
have ultimately found it's way into Bro
mans pockets. Yesterday an agent of
the United States Accident Insurance
Association called at police headquarters
inquiring about Broman. He said that
Broman in August last had taken out
what is known as 5000 and $4,000
accident policy with his company. He
added:
1--WE have the power to cancel policy
at any time, and we will at once give
Broman notification of the fact that his
policy is cancelled"

The international Migration society's
First Installment.
PHILADELPHIA, March 16.-The Dan
ish steamer Horsa sailed from here this
evening for Savannah, having been char
tered by the International Migration So
ciety to take about 200 negro colonists
from Savannah to Monrovia, Liberia.
The steamer is under command of Cap
tain Henry Wiborg. The emigrants will
be accompanied by an agent of the So
ciety. The Horsa will probably arrive
at Savannah Sunday, and, if possible,
will sail for Liberia the same day. The
society has organized it's first party of
emigrants with great care, selecting
them mainly from Mississippi. In max
ing the selections only men, both single
and married, of good physical condition
have been chosen and permitted to join.
The married men will be accompanied
by their wives and families. The So
ciety has made arrangements to give
unmarried colonists ten acres of land,
and those married. twenty-five acres
upon their arrival in Liberia. The Lii
berian government will shelter the colo
nists for three months until they have
built their own houses. Good mechan-
les, carpenters especially, it is claimed,
can have plenty of work at good wages,
while those familiar with farming work
can engage in cofee-growing.

LANDS GRANTED IN IDAHO.
The Selection of Those Given Under

WASHINGTON, March Is. - Secretary
Smith has overruled the commissioner
of the general land office in decision
affecting the selection of lands to COM
plete the grants of the state of Idaho
under the enabling act. The commits
sioner had several selections for cancel
lation because the particular tract
selected was less than quarter section,
the law providing that selections Tor
losses must be in tracts not less than a
quarter section. The secretary states
that in the cases chosen by the commits
sioner it appears there are other selec-
tons by the state adjoining the tracts
of less than a quarter section, and he
CONSTITUTES the law to mean that the state
shall make its selection in as compact a
form as possible, and that its lands
shall not be scattered about in forty and
eighty acre tracts. When there are
other selections adjoining, in all more
than quarter section, the secretary
holds that they are valid.

Horrible Treatment of Condemned
Murderer in Colorado.
DENVER, March l8.-Henry Tyson was
tried to-day by q jury to ascertain his
mental condition and found sane. Ty-
son, on the stand, said he was convicted
for murder six years ago, but had never
been sentenced, as he was found to be
insane. In 1889 he was sent to the
Canon City penitentiary. He said he
was placed in dark cell and kept in
solitary confinement therein for three
years, during which he saw and spoke
to no one and had absolutely no exer-
else. On being released from the dark
cell in 1892 he had to be carried out. He
was deaf and his eyes 80 swollen that
he could not see. He has slowly recov-
cred partial sight and hearing. Tyson
will probably never be sentenced, as
the laws under which he was convicted
have been altered.

TROUBLES IN CUBA
Affairs Are Continually Grow

OPPOSITION IS CRYSTALLINE

AdviCes by steamer say There Are
Now Fully Six Thousand Insurgents
Ender Arms-Rabi and Masso ICOnfi-
dent of Taking Santiago.
KEY WEST, Fla, March l9.--The first
clear and trustworthy statement OF the
condition of affairs in the eastern end
of Cuba is brought by passenger on
the steamer Mascotte. He said:
Il nave travelled throughout the
mountainous district constantly since
the trouble began, and matters are now
in a much worse condition than at the
beginning. The fighting was started in
desultory and scattered way, but the
forces gradually became crystalized, and
there are now fully 5000 insurgents
under arms. They are i'll dozen or
more detachments, but are giving the
government no end of trouble. In many
cases the Spanish troops have been
beaten back with heavy loss. The most
reproachable event of the war SO far is
the pillaging and burning. The insur-
gents have gained confidence since the
beginning Vi JIlc IIcuDlSJ anu IhhbbCIS III
the eastern district are in almost as bad
condition as during the war OF 1868.
New leaders are springing up, and by
force of their intellect and ability they
have induced the insurgents not to hold
off longer for the arrival OF leaders. The
general opinion in Santiago is that if
the insurgents can hold out until sum
mer the yellow fever will help them
greatly. 1t is said that both Rabi and
Nasso are confident of taking Santiago
before October. The Spanish troops are
guarding every road, and nobody is al
lowed to pass without giving the strict
est account of himself. 1t is as much as
"a mans life is worth in Santiago to talk
in favor of the Cubans or to tell the
truth. Several persons have been shot
on account of this. Instances where
the Spaniards were defeated have been
published as government victories. -Four
Spanish cruisers were i'll the harbor OF
Santiago one week ago, now there are
but two guarding the eastern coast, and
one on the southern"
The passenger also said the revolt
would kill business in Cuba for two
years. Money is already scarce, and
prices are high. A panic is feared. 1t
seems to be the general impression
among the Spaniards that the United
States feels bitterly toward the Spanish
government, and would like nothing
better than an excuse to seize the ISL
and, hence their hatred of the Ameri
cans.
