Persecution of Missionaries in Ecuador

Washington City. July 1s.-Ex-Repre-
sentative Tim Campbell, OF New York,
had a conference today with Acting Sec
rotary of State Adee. with respect to the
ii-treatment of certain missionaries In
Ecuador during the progress of the recent
revolution in that country. In 1887 a num-
her of sisters of the Benedictins order
sailed from New York for Ecuador to esA
tablish missions there. They started
missions at Roeapurte, where a convent
was established in charge OF Sister There
sa. and al Bahahoyo and Calietra. the lat
ter mission being in charge of Sister Gen
evieve. During the revolution the mis-
sion at Calietra was destroyed. and the
sisters were ill-trea ted and compelled 10
escape from the country in a small boat.
After hearing this statement Acting Sec
rotary Adee promised to cable immediate
-fy to United States Minister Tiliman at
Quito. tnstruotiing him to secure govern
mental protection for the twenty-five
missionaries still in Ecuador, and see
that they are not further prosecuted. 1T
is probable that as soon as the case can
be put in proper form our government
Will be asked IN prefer a demand for

An Odd Hawaiian Schooner.

Port Townsend, July I7.-Special.-
most curious looking craft that has Wis
tied Puget sound In number of years is
the Hawaiian schooner Americana, of
Honolulu, built in Glasgow and owned in
England She has four masts, a single
yard on the foremost and three yards on
the main. The popularity of the rig
caused much discussion among the mari
ners as to what would be the proper name
for such a rig. In Lloyd's she Is called a
schooner but the consensus of maritime
opinion here is that she is what sailors
would term "a fackass bark" In any
event, aside from the odd rig, she is one
OF the finest locking vessels That has ever
come into port, and is built entirely OF
steel. including her masts.
Foreign ship owners and builders, appre-
ciating in the fast crystalliZing American
sentiment that the republic OF Hawaii Will
ultima tely come under the terri oral juris-
diction OF the United States, and realizing
the advantages American vessels have in
the worlds commerce. have recently
placed several magnificent steel sailing
vessels under the Hawaiian flag. There
are scarcely any finer specimens OF ma
rine architecture ahoat than the Ha-
waisan ships John Enos and Hawaiian
Isles Both OF which recently loaded lum-
Der on the Sound for Australia The two
vessels carried nearly 5,00o. 600 feet OF luul-
Der They were built year or 80 ago In
Scotland and are owned IN England. The
owners expect that when Hawaii becomes
American territory these new steel yes
sels will be given American registers.

woman. old or young, who is not from
time TO time made tho victim OF thu pas
sion of the kurds and Turks. In al the
villages Of Armenia the Christian ~o-
men. both old and yoang. are absolutely
at The mercy Of shelr Kurdish ana TURK
ish neighbors. This is not the case IN the
larger cities OF Van, Bitlis. Mousn ana
Erzaroum, because in these cities the
large Armenian population is in itself
protection to the women. but In the vsl-
lagos, where the ArTnenians are In the
minority, protection g not posslple, ana
the women are a. the beck and call OF
any Turk or kurd who happens TO take
a fancy to them. Moreover. this state or
things IS said TO be well known 10 the
Turkish government.
IL is the custom of the government 10
sell TO the highest bidder the tax prsvi-
leges- of the various villages. the turchas-
er having the right 10 collect all or the
taxes from the people. In many cases
the number Of young Armenian women IN
a village has great deal to do with the
price paid for the tax privilege. Waen
the public sale is made OF the tax priNi-
lege it is no uncommon thing FOR the auc-
tioneer to call out in the market place,
50 that all may hear, that so many girls
ere available in the village. When man
has pure hased the tax privilege of a VII
lage he considers that he has also bought
and paid for the women OF the village,
and any attempt on the part of the hus-
bands brothers or fathers to resent this
Interpretation of the law is looked upon
as high treason, punishable with death.
If the Armenian men object to this treat
meLt of their women they are beaten and
driven from the villages and in many
cases killed.
The tax purchaser is able to make an
extra profit out of his village by renting
out TO his friends among the Turks and
Kurds the privilege OF making use of
such women as he does not want for
himself, and Kurds who cannot afford to
pay for this privilege content themselves
with taking women by force when the
owner of the village is not present.
The women who suffer most are the
brides. Kurds and Turks think it&great
sport to carry off bride from the very
arms of her husband and to keep her in
their houses until they have become tired
of her presence

The wyoming Indian Trouble.

Washington City. July 1.-THE first CT
fetal report of the trouble between the
Bannock Indians and the settlers in North
western Wyoming reached the interior
department today In a dispatch to the
secretary of the interior Gov. Richards
says: 'T received advices by mail and
telegraph reporting the situation serious.
The Indians are Bannocks from Fort Hall,
Idaho. They were arrested for Illegal and
wanton killing of game. Can you take
immediate action for the protection of our
settlers?" The dispatch has been forward
ed to the secretary OF war
II is unofficially stated at the Irdian
office that the real trouble in Wyoming
Is that the Indians are better hunters
than the whites in the region. and that
the jealousy of them is the main cause
of the trouble. The report Of the alleged
uprising OF the Bannock Indians was re-
ceived at the war department today. but
no action will be taken further than to
notify the department commander to
have the troops at Fort Washakie in
readiness to protect the people ana prop
erty in case they are wanted.
