had reached the city the Kurds and
Turks came on. yelling and firing. The
soldiers made no attempt to stop them.
They fired the cannon once harmlessly
over the heads Of the Kurds. The Turks

attack. The Armenian school was first
set on fire, then the greater part of the
Christian quarter. The Christians were
shot down everywhere.
II saw all these things with my own
eyes. for I watched with a field glass

thing was definitely planned and ar
ranged. The Christians had given VI

Constantinople, via Sofia. Dec. Is
Much relief is felt today among the
friends of American missionaries over
the news that has just been received
by United States Minister Terrill from
Aintab, Bitlis, Kharpoot, Caesava and
Talass, and which contains assurances
that the missionaries at those points are
safe.
They are under the protection of the
Turkish troops, in accordance with the
peremptory demand made upon the
porte by Minister Terrill. The reports
to Terrill from these points. although
they give the assurances that no harm
has thus far come to the missionaries,
state that serious danger still exists
and convey the impression that the fear
of further outbreaks Is by no means
past Word has also been received that
the American ladies at Hadjin are safe.
