Tor Aid-The Revolution In Crete.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-The Daily News this
morning publishes lottor from Euro
pean residing at Kharput who describes
the whole city of Kharput as heing in q
stnte of terror, the result Of the recent up
heaval. Iio says:
"For over q week the Kurds have been
attacking the villages In this vicinity
and they havo looted six on this side OF
the river. Refugees are constantly arriy-
ing IN this city, and some Of our frionds
from Oortok. in describing the looting
said that tho Kurds even came with their
women and children, for the purpose Of
carrying off tho plumber Tho Turks from
the villages around joined them. In con-
sequence of tho racial troubles in the vi
oinity of Oertok three Of the Christians
woro killed in one house and two porished
IN another.
"Wo daily appealed TO the authorities
but nothing was done. The Kurds mean
time threatened to plundor kharput
Agha, one Of the officials, when appealed
TO and asked to dofond the city, said:
why should we protect the giaours? Let
them be killed. The governmnt was for
morly very prompt and eilioiont, but now
tho officials soem slow TO act. 10 was
known that tho acting governor had
wired Constantinople for instructions
but he was unable to get any reply. 'Peo-
plo said, This is the work OF government
muletoors from Diarbolglr. They told us
how the Mussulmnns had marched from
tho mosque declaring that they had the
drman of lho sultan in their possession
allowing them 20 kill the Christians.
They proceeded with the killing at any
rate.
Tho letter describes tho burning Of Ar
gnna MAIDEN, and continues;
Everywhere without exception, the
Kurds claim that thoy have the authority
Of the government for everything they do.
/ think the worst IS over Tho Kurds have
beon driven across the river, owing TO the
receipt OF a telegram from the authorities
at ConstantinoBle requesting the local
officials to preserve order. If this had been
done nt FIRST, all the disorders could have
been avoided. Tho terror and distress arc
terrible, and the winter prospect Is appall-
ing. Whore tho Kurds alone were concern
cd the loss OF life was not great, they evil
IDENTIFY contenting themselves with the
plundor.
In conclusion, tho correspondent says
that tho Turks kill and plumber with
/ flondish cruelty.
