AN ARCH FIEND,
Mustafa Pasha's Part I'm the Outrages
on Armenians I'm Harpoot.

BOSTON. Mass, Jan. 25.-The latest adj
vices from eastern Turkey not only seem to
show that the responsibility for the slaugh-
ter, burning and plundering of Aremnians
there rests on the Turkish authorities, but
correspondents writing from Asia Minor also
also assert that Mustafa Pasha himself the
commanding general at Harpoot, shared In
the plumber. ut can be established on re-
liable testimony" says one. writing from
Harpoot. that the leaders in the raids of
piunder and murder in this part of the coun-
try were Turkish aghas and military and
civil officers, and the chief part of the plum
der Is now stored in Turkish houses in this
city and in the houses of Turkish aghas on
the plain. Moreover, Mustafa Pasha him
self had Gordon of Circassians around the
city, and when they saw any one carrying
OH particularly valuable thing they
seized 1t and appropriated it for
their chief. Everywhere it has not
only been a riot of plumber and
murder, but also a religious crusade or
crescentade. The miscreants have in many
instances demanded that Christians should
instantly declare themselves Mussulmans,
and on refusal to do so the latter have
been shot dead or butchered in cold blood.
The pressure brought to bear on the people
OF the villages has been, and is STILL fearful
mere is matter which should be brought
before European tribunal. 1t is the cap
ture of the wives and daughters of Chris
tans and forcibly giving them to the Turks
ana kurds as their wives. Hundreds were
thus carried off during the Sassoun mas
sacre, and the same thing has been done
here also. commission should come and
examine the survivors of Hob, Tadem. Vert
menik and other villages. In the village
or. Tadem, Turkish aghas gathered in a
large number of Christian women and girls
and sold them to the Turks and Kunrds,
taking in exchange horses, donkeys, ETC."
The writer then refers 20 several in
stances In which the Sultan has shown
that he will do everything possible for
those Of his own faith. especially for those
who have been newly converted, but the
Christian population have nothing to hope
for from him. In view of this the writer
says: 1T is most serious question how
relief can be given in time to save thou
sands of lives. Winter is upon us. Gov
ernmental hindrances and interferences are
to be expected. Apparently it is a part
OF well-laid plan to prevent aid being
given until such a time as relief work
would be difficult on account of snow and
cold weather" The writer also states that
as far as they have been able to learn, the
number killed in the region from which he
writes Is ~ 108.
