STORIES FROM ARMENIA.
English Writers Tell Grewsome Tales About
the Devastation in Asia Minor.

London, Dec. S.-What Information is
obtainable, and the nature Of the consular
reports that are reaching the foreign office,
confirm the worst fears of the destruction
OF the Armenians within the area from
Trehi2Ond southeast to Van, thence south
ward to Alexandretta, thence northward
to Trebzond. Whole Christian towns and
villages have been pilaged and burned
and their Inhabitants massacred.
Those who have been left alive have
been forced to abandon their faith and
turn Mohammcdans. Accurate details
concerning the condition OF affairs in the
districts beyond the immediate spheres Of
the consuates remain wanting, but there
is no reason to doubt the reports derived
from fugitive survivors and the better
sort of Turks who have not shared in the
outrages that Il similar condition of
affairs exists in those places.
The correspondent of the Speaker, the
paper which first gave publicity to the Ar
menian outrages. is now known to have
close relations with the consulates in Con =
stantinople, and from information derived
from them he estimates that not less than
500, 600 persons have either been killed
or are now dying of starvation beyond the
chance of timely relief.
He says that after the soldiers had
sacked the Armenian towns and Villages
the Kurds completed the plumber. The
latter mixed what grain they could not
carry oil with dung and set fire to the
houses, leaving the people with no food
and their homes heaps of smouldering
ruins.
The ambassadors have advised the Porte
to permit the Red Cross societies to un-
dertake the relief Of the distressed people.
but the presence of hundreds of Red Cross
agents would reveal horrors that the Porte
must conceal This fact debars the pos
sbility of the government giving its as
sent to the plan.

FACE DEATHLY PALE.
Sultan Completely Unnerved by an
Unexpected Street Incident.
Said Pasha Still Carefully Keeps Out oil Reach
OF the Sultan.

London, Dec S-A dispatch from Cor
stantlDoplc, dated Dec 6, says that, Fri
day, during the Selamlik, when the Sui
tan goes to the mosque to perform his de
votions, an incident occurred that caused
a great commotion. AS the Sultan was
leaving the mosque, man in Turkish
dress, holding Il petition in one hand,
pushed through the Gordon Of military
guarding the route and threw himself in
front of the imperial carriage. He was
Immediately arrested and hustled off to
prison.
The affair created much Excitement on
account of the general feeling of anxiety
The Sultan was completely unnerved and
his face was deathly pale. No doubt he
thought an attempt was about to be made
on his life. The contents of the petition
are unknown.
The dispatch adds that all representa-
tives Of the Powers have received instruc-
lions from their governments to insist up
on the admission Of the second guard ships
to Constantinople. The action on the de
mand is imminent
Said Pasha, ex-grand vizier, still re.
mains at the British embassy, where he
sought refuge, believing his life was in
danger. He is Obduratc to all the Sultan
appeals to leave the embassy. The Sultan
sent one of the palace sheikhs to the en-
bsssy TO persuade Said Pasha to leave, but
the sheikh failed
After the sheikh left admission was re.
fused to all other messengers from the
Sultan. His majesty thereupon requested
the diplomats of other Powers to make

tions between himself and the palace.
Resolutions adopted by the diplomats at
The meeting, Thursday, referred to the
Powers supporting Said Pasha if he would
accept the grand vizierate which the Sui
tan has asked him to do.

the recent massacre there. Among oener
statements the writer says:
The storm br0.~; over Marsoyan at neon,
on the alarm that the mosque had been
attacked by Armcnians. The Turks az
once made an onslaught on the market.
There they seemed to have slaughtered
the Arnenians right and left, while 9th
ers attacked and looted private houses.
This bloody work began near our prem
ses. We could hear the storm Of yelis and
shrieks mingled with pistol and nusket
shots and the fierce battering ut doors
especially Oh the side nearest the girls

relgned until 1t had spent itself there and
then it surged to the richer fields near the
markets The bullets came hummng
over and struck the girls school. Finally
the firing grew more distant.
We had two Circnssians on the premises
who did good service. We sent them to
communicate with the caimakan, whom
he found patrollug the city ana checking
the bloodshed He said he had already
sent soldiers to surround our premises.
They were soon perceived IN squads out
side the wall and allowed no raid on our
grounds.
Towards night the caimakan himself
came and brought us a guard Of % men,
who remained on the premises all night
long. Their assurances Were very fair,
and God grant they may remain faithful,
and that the mass OF helpless boys and
girls, pupils in the schools, huddled to-
gether in our houses, may be spared,
Aside from the fear Of what might hap

lessness to do anything to check such
horrid work is most distressing One

"These criticisms come generally
