ARMENIAN ATROCITIES.
Extracts From Letter from Mission
airy in the Interior of Turkey.

The following extracts are made from
letter received in this CITY last week.
from missionary stationed in the in
terror of Turkey:
Two commissioners, Turks in govern
ment employ, have just reached US. They
called a meeting of the Turks and some
fifteen prominent Armenians who sur
viye. The commissioners told them how
much the Sultan had done for them and
then began impudenfly to upbraid them
for relying upon sedItious announcement
from Europe, and said that if they did
not walk oircumspeotly hereafter, on the
slightest provocation they would lose
their heads. They had won the country
by the shedding of blood SO would they
lose it, and much more to the same
effect.
Some Turkish papers in speaking of
these widespread massacres are commend
Ing the energetic measures of the
Sultan.
You soc these plans agains5 our schools
largely miscarried With what fiendish
nicely this thing was planned comes out
every now and then. Five students from
our province who were studying at
Beirut were not to be allowed to live. A
mob attacks their special room at night
with bullets and stones and break in their
windows, but fortunately they escape
They were the only Armenians there.
Here comes in the young preacher just
graduated at Marash, of whom l spoke
last summer. Now ne and his wife come
in rags, his body covered with scars The
horrors which they have witnessed baffle
description.
Some things cheer US bit One Turk
in high position got up in the Mosque
and re buked his people for thinking of
praying to God when they had been plum
dering and numbering. Were he not a
man of influence he would lose his
life There is no getting
out of the country for Armenians, and no
one else dares travel even with strong
guard. We're l to tell you the
horrors fallen upon this poor people you
would be unable to sleep.

THAT WAR DISPATCH.

The Associated Press dispatch from
London, yesterday morning, announc-
ing that the European powers had
agreed not to remain passive in the
event of the United States recognizing
or,otherwise encouraging Cuba, was all
right as a piece of sensational news.
The only blunder or mistake was in
the date. 1t should have been April L,
and headed '.All Fools Day." rather
than December 25. as Christmas
gift. If Germany proposes to take the
| matter up and make Spain's cause her
own should ''the United States show a
further disposition to side with the
| rebel Cubans," then Cock-a- doodle Bill
might better buckle on his spurs and
set his boats atioat without loss of
time; meanwhile France would be af-
forded the long -wished-for opportunity
dispatch be not canard, then England
will be looking after her Canuck con-
tingent. and the Cossacks corraling
Constantinople. Any European coali-
ton for the purpose of interfering with
America in its endeavor TO stop Span
ish butchery, or to menace or discipline
the United States, will result IN some
thing more than pour parlers' for
Europe. All Europe cannot whip
America and cross the ocean to do it.
The navies of the world could possibly
destroy our sea-board cities, but the
armies of Europe once landed in Amer
lea would never return, and within two
years the Europe, Asia and Africa OF
today would cease to be. The Ameri-
can states would alone survive. and In
surviving would cover this entire con-
tinent, including Cuba and the north
pole. A European war on America
would strike the British shackles from
India, and leave Egypt independent.
ANY interference with the United
States by any power of Europe, other
than Spain, would, within decade, cut
The worlds population in a way that
would astonish the surviving remnant.
Tie market supply would no longer ex-
ceed the demand, and trusts would be
no more, Or only remembered as joke.
If the world wishes to rid itself of its
crowns and aristocratic rulers, all that
is necessary is for Europe to declare
war on the United States, only be-
cause its people sympathize with an
other people in their struggle for inde-
pendence. All the successive upward
steps and advancements made by civil
liZations since history began have been
the result Of war, and it may be that
such a war as that dispatch intimates
that Europe threatens to plunge the
world into means a higher civilization,
the most marked and progressive epoch
ever resulting from a revolution, from
which the United States will emerge
as the patron, pattern and leader.
