Special Cable Despa'ch to THE suS
IoxpoS. March 30.-.No attempt Is any longer
made TO deny the truth of the worst reports re-
r.rdry the atrocities In Armenia. The Eng
I,h newspapers have been filled this week with
mass of sickening details from dozen inde-
n.ndent sources in the blood-stained district.
Nothing more can DO gained by detailing the
almost endless series of revolving horrors, for
.r.n those who until within q few days have at
tempted to defend tho Turk, now admit that tho
whole fearful indictment is proved by over
vhelming evidence. The point toward which
European minds are now turning is what possi
h,e excuse may be set up for such wholesale
cruelty and butchery. Tho Times correspondent
,ends the most explicit account of events lead
ing to the massacre yet available, and it is i'm
possible to describe them ns furnishing even
Ljght palliation of the awful crime.
The so-callcd Armenian revolutionists were
men who urged the people to resist some of the
demand. of tho Kurdish brigands. The Turkish
rulers. perhaps honestly, thought this move-
ment was tending toward revolt against their

make an attack.
