 The Americans in Harpoot, Bitlis and Marash are virtually prisoners in their houses. It is not safe for Christians to go into the streets. The escort which was provided for the American mis- sionaries by order of the porte upon the application of Minister Terrell, is afraid to leave Harpoot on account of the dangers almost certain to be en- countered on the roads from nlurderous bands.

 Boston, Nov. 29.-The following letter has been received In Boston from g reliable correspondent describing the condition of the Arrnenians in Trebi zond, Turkey. The writer says that that Armenian town as a prosperous and enterprising community is, for the present, wiped out of existence.
 ",The most enterprising firm of tht town was the Diradourian Brothers, ,wht owned a large Touring mill and supplied a large part of the bakers with tht flour used to make the common bread Of these four brothers, three were killed and the fourth is in Antioch. Theil safe was opened and $SS0o or more O
 money stolen. Their machinery il their mill was wantonly broken; de struction was made as complete as possible.
 1.-Two brothers in another family were at their storehouse, where they were buying nuts for shipment. Botf were murdered without mercy and theil safe and shop robbed. Now the fam fly consists of only widows and smal ' children; perhaps they may not be ab solutely destitute of bread, but they car help no one else.
 "In the western quarter entirely sur 5 rounded by Turkish houses, it Is sait that twenty-five men and fifteen womel perished. These were all common peo pie, who earned their daily bread b, , hard work at weaving or at some othe . trade The destitution there is likel, ? Ito be great.
 "There is little hope that the Arme nians can take up their vacations thi winter; they will be rudely thrus aside by the Turks, and they will no
 dare to peep in defence of their right lest they be shot down. The Turk have learned that pastime and they ar , likely to keep it up.
