Over 80, ,000PersOnS Reported
to Have Been Killed.
During Three Days Carnage In City
Of C0nstantin0ple.

New York. Oct. 1o.--Madjl Rahsian is a
Christian Turk. who was one OF the pas
sengers on board La Gascogne. which ar
rived yesterday. He comes to this coun-
try on business trip. Through an inter-
prefer he tsld about the massacres OF Ar
Inenians He was I'm Copstantinople dur
ing the three days massacre, in August
last.
During the three days 10000 Arrne-
nlans, he said. were slaughtered through
out the empire. Wagons filled with
bodies were constantly passing through
the streets OF Constantinople. And none
OF the bodies were buried, but CARLOAD
after CARLOAD were dumped into the sea.
The sight was sickening one, and added
to its horror was the fact that In these
wagons were piled the dead and dying.
and the feeble cries Of the wounded for
release could be heard coming from the
carts. but the appeals were utterly un-
needed. Whether killed OF wounded. all
were thrown into the sea.
Mr.. Rahsian said ne saw Turkish SOL
diers walking about the streets with re-
volvers in their hands, while other Turks
would be carrying clubs. The Jews OF
the city would point out the Armenians,
and then the soldiers would shoot, or
clubs would be used.
The Jews would also, according TO Mr..
Rahsian, point out a certain house, de-
claring that II was inhabited by Arme-
mans. whereupon the soldiers would
break into the dwelling and kill every
Cne. men, women and children. The Ar
menians. in many Instances, had sought
refuge on roofs OF houses. but the Turks
would pursue them and compel them to
jump off into the street. and thus be
killed or manned.
Until now the Europeans have not
been molested, but they are leaving Con
stantinople, fearing that they may be at
tackled. 1t is the general feeling in Con-
stantinople that the European powers
should interfere as soon as possible, be-
cause the Armenians are not yet con-
quered. and are contemplating revolt, to
avenge their massacred brethren.
number of Armenians. who have fled
from Turkey. are expected to arrive this
afternoon. and viii be met by a contin
gent Of the Salvation Army. who will
accompany them To Ellis island, and lay
their case before Commissioner Senner,
in order to obtain permission for the Ar

The statement contained I'm a dispatch

not brook such a threat over her head.

single day. BY what right do the United
States define the time for Spain to settle

tion? 1t must be affirmed before the
whole world that the American govern
ment cannot impose any sort of terms
upon us. After denouncing the United
States "lctional neutrality" The I'm
rarcial concludes as follows: The con-
duct of the United States will arouse

STORM TOSSED.
Crews Reach Port After
Hard Struggling.
Southern Cross Abandoned
in Sinking Condition.
Two Barks and a Brig Also Go TO
the Bottom of the Ocean.

New York, Oct. 19.--Steamer Delaware,
from Haytien ports picked up Captain
Watts and seven seamen, the crew Of
the Halifax schooner Southern Cross,
which was abandoned In a sinking con-
diton on Oct. l6. The Southern Cross
was bound from San Bias for New York
with a cargo OF cocoanuts, and left that
port on Sept. IL. Toe weather was fine
until Sept. "a off the west end of Cuba,
when a violent northeast sale was en-
countered, lasting five days, driving the
schooner 125 miles back into the Gulf OF
Mexico. The weather then continued
fine until Oct. 10, when a hurricane from
the northeast struck the vessel and hove
her down on her beam ends. and 1t was
found necessary 20 coz away the fore
mast in order tqssright her. The rigging
also carried away the mainmast below
the crosstrees. The schooner righted,
but 1t was found that the rudder was
broken. and some of the seams had
started. so that she was leaking. On
Oct. II she was spoken by the German
steamer Mustralia, from New Orleans
for Newport News and Bremen, but II
seemed possible then to save the vessel,
end assistance was declined. Afterward
the hopelessness Of the situation was
impressed upon all hands, and when the
Delaware hove in sight on the morning
Of the 10th. she was signalled, and Cap
tain Watts and his crew rowed to her
in their own boat. The Southern Cross
was built in 1890. She was l34 tons bur-
den and hailed from Halifax.
