proclamation granting amnesty to the Armenans
who are in possession OF Zeltoun.
The amnesty proclamation OF the Porte Is easily
explained by the fact that the Zeitounlls have in
their hands about eight hundred Turkish Prison

garrsons located In the divers villages OF the noun
tans and which surprised and captured at
the beginning Of the revolt In the Zeitoun district

been reported that before the arrival OF the for

upon an errand OF mediation. the Turks besieging
the place had broken the truce between them and
the Zeltounls. They attacked the mOuntaineers
and thoroughly defeated The Turkish bullt-
tins admitted a loss Of GO men. wounded or killed
but informant from Armenian Sources Is that the
OttOmans lost than double that number. Al
any rate many prisoners were made by tho Ie.i-
