THE ARMENIAN MASSACRES.

Constantlnople August 3l.--There is
no longer any doubt that the massncrcs
were originated by Turkish authori.
ties, and ii has been ascertalncd that
orders were only given To the Bashl
Bazouks to cease massacreing the Ar
menians after the bloody work had
been going on for thirty hours.
II is also a fact that hundreds Of
Turks wer brought over from the Ash
attic side Of the Bosphorus In order TO
take part in the massacres. and many
Armenians were put In boats which
were taken out to sea. Their fate Is
unknown but there is not the slight
est doubt that they have been drowned,
Although it may be true that the
attack on the Ottoman bank originated
with the Armenian revolutionary COM
it is admitted on all sides that
the massacres which followed were not
justified, and that from 5000 to 1000
people lost their lives in this city or in
those Of the suburbs during the past
week.
