Shortly after 2 p. IN. on July 8 smoke was
seen issuing fro the starboard alley
about amidships. pcrmeated the state
rooms and saloons, and was soon noticed
by the cabin passengers while they sat at
dinner. The stewards, who were the first
to discover IL, passed the word aft, and
Captain Deloncle was notified. Search
was made for the source Of fire. 1t was
found 10 be In a compartment In the lower
hold, about amidships. 1t is supposed TO
have resulted from spontaneous combus

danger they had passed through and the

met the situation they adopted resolutions

desperate situation Of these people.
The Armenians cannot accept al,
scheme of reform which does not have foI
its fundamental principle the absouto
control by the European powers. The
moment that II becomes clear that the
execution Of the reforms Is 10 be left TO
the Turk, the Armenians will arise in de-
spair and fling themselves TO destruction
Unless Europe controls the reforms, there
will be massacre of $1,000 Christians In
the city Of Van within three months.
The Armenians themselves will bring
this about rather than be cast adrft by
their fellow Christians Of the West. Their
argument on this point Is perfectly plain
They assert that II IL better 10 die bv tbc
sword, with perhaps the chance that their
death will advance the Gauss cf me Ar
menian race, Oh. n TO die by torture and
starvation.
There islno language quite adequate to
a description Of the real condition Of
Armenia at present Men are beaten,
robbed and murdered, and women are
ravished by Kurds and Turkish soldiers;
property is stolen or destroyed; crops are
trampled down and eaten by herds of
cattle; churches and monasteries are desc
Grated and used as stables and lighthouses;
business is absolutely ruined; there is no
wheat for bread.
Many villages are deserted by their
starving inhabitants, and thousands of
villagers are crowding into the cities, beg
ging from door to door OF people who are
little better of than themselves. Woe
ard want and despair and deash stalk
abroad in this beautiful land that was
once part OF the Garden of Eden.
The inhabitants Of Van are living on
tlAe brink of q massacre from day to day.
