The Atrocious Turk.

The Rev. Sarkis s. Yenovklan, a native
Armenian minister, but naturaliZed
American citizen, has received most dis
tressing news from his old home in Ma
rash. Mr. Yenovkian is graduate of
Ohio Wesleyan University. His wife and
four boys were in Marash on Nov. Is.
the date of the terrible slaughter of Ar
menians. Since that time he has endeav-
ored to return to his family, but could
not, owing to q law of the Turkish empire
which prohibits the return of subject
of the sultan who has been naturalized in
this country. He then sought to get his
family out of the stricken country, but
owing to the internal conditions he found
il impossible. He has awaited until to-
day for the news of the fate of his family.
1t was sent to him by a friend from Ma
rash, dated Dec. ~, and is as follows:
1.-THE house of your eldest brother, Bag
adaser, after being plundered, was burn

been wiped out. Your own children are
wandering helpless in the streets. For

in it's power TO rendr- aid to them.

The Russian Charge at Eylau.

1t was raw and bitter day; during
the morning there were occasional
snow fiurries, and at midday a heavy
downfall. Bennigsen seized the initia-
tive, and opened the battle by cannon
ade. Napoleon, divining his plan, sent
messenger for Ney to come and
strengthen Soult. At nine the Russian
right advanced and drove the French
left, which was weak, to the town. At
that moment the order was given for
Augereau and Saint-Hilaire to move. In
the driving snow they lost connection
with each other and the latter was re-
pulsed by Russian cavalry, while Auge-
reau's corps was almost destroyed by
the enemy's center. The dashing horse
men Of Galitzin reached the foot Of the
very hill on which Napoleon stood, and
a panic seized all about him, not ex-
cepting Berthier and Bessieres, who ex-
citedly called up the Guard to save
their emperor. The emperor, however,
remained calm, exclaiming, What
holiness! What boldnessv' The pur.
suers fell back exhausted, and Murat
In turn dashed with his cavalry toward
the gap between the enemy's center
and right. SO worn out were both sides
however, that without collision they
ceased to charge, and began to fire.

had completed his horrible work he coolly
laid down in the noxious gas-saturated air

fathers awful crime could not have been

Sunday night in the little cottage at 73l

residence for some time. Hougaard dis
closed his murderous resolve in letter,
but with the cunning of a maniac he TOOK
good precaution to render the warning
void by entrusting it to the United States
mails for delivery. This letter, written
in Danish to countryman of the murder.

the Mortified friend read of Hougaard' =
determination to xii his family and end
his life. A mad run by the police patrol
wagon with a dozen officers was vain, as

Barton declares that that Government
is not antagonistic to the Red Cross as
such, but objects to the distribution Of
foreign relief on entirely different grounds,
neither in its power nor that of the secre-
tary to control. She adds that any state
ment that the Red Cross is aggressive and
intends to act in spite of the prohibition
is entirely incorrect and unfounded.

Activity Reported Among the Militia

A special to the ST. Louis Republic from
Tallahassee, Fla, says: Sensational sto-
ries are afloat here. Gov. Mitchell at the
request of the War Department in Wash
ington, has ordered Adjt. Gen. Houston
TO see that the Florida militia be placed
in readiness to take the field at a mo-
ment's notice. Similar requests, it is re-
ported, have been sent to the governors
of other Southern States. The story has
become generally known, and is causing
great excitement throughout the South.
Gov. Mitchell and Adjt. Gen. Houston
were asked in regard to it, but they re-
fused 10 talk. Gen. Houston has sent
kilograms to all battalion commanders in
the State. Major Turner, LIST Florida
battalion, has received several messages
from the adjutant general. The battalion
commanders Mt Pensacola and Tampa
have also received messages from Gen.
Houston. 1t is stated as coming from the
executive office that the Washington au-
thorities have reason to believe that q
deal is pending between Spain and Great
Britain for the sale of Cuba to the latter,
and that the United States is preparing
TO resist the transfer of the island, and
that the flying squadron is coming to
American waters to be ready for the war
with the United States that will inevita-
bly, follow the attempted cession of Cuba.
