Estimates OF tho Damage Done aud the

CoSsTASTISorLE, Nov. a7-Now that
matters seem 10 be quieting down
again here and IN the Asiatic prov.
inces, people are beginning to form
estimates OF the amount Of damage
done and the number Of lives lost dur
ing the recent disturbances. Armcni.
ans estimate the losses In Anatolia
alone at $50, 600, 900, and the number OF
victims at 10000 OF course, these
are Armenian estimates, but there
seems good reason for believing
that the property destroyed, the
number of lives sacrificed and
outragcs committed are far beyond
anything hitherto estimated or de.
scribed. People competent to pro-
nounce an opinion upon the subject
say that with the coming of winter
there will be very many more deaths
from exposure and famine, and that
even relief funds, food and clothing
cannot avert much loss Of life and
great suffering. Famine Is threatened
in a number of districts and there
seems to be no way of preventing it.
