Only about IS Of the 500 Armenians have

Armenians in Armenia certainly had their
co-religionists and fei ow-countrymento fall
back upon, but the poor people seem to have
no friends in tie wide world, yet they are as

Some South American spectators, it Is
true. taking advantage OF this deploratlo
situation, have prevailed upon 300 others OF
the Armenian refugees to allow themselves
to be transported to the Argentine republic,
there, il all probability, to meet the fate Of
thousands of the Hebrews Of Russia, who,
thanks to the philanthropy OF the Baron
Hirsch. emigrated to South America only to
find themselves lguratiyely speaking, tossed
from the frying pan into the fire. 1t is true
that the climate Of Argentine is said to he
more healthy than that Of the regions the
poor Hebrews tried to settlein. But the end
is likely to be the same, in case of the Ar
henian refugees, who are not class OF poo-
pie likely to thrive in roughly founded
colonies.

Fearful Tales OF Persecution.

The tales they tell OF persecution and mas
sacre would, it seems, soften the most hard
hearted. They admit that q band of some
forty Armcnians about month ago captured
the Ottoman Bank, killing the Turkish gem
darmes who were on guard, and that this
Armenian forlorn hope afterward barri-,
caded itself in the building and defended it
by throwing bombs at the troops. who sooi
opened fire on the building from all sides
The defense OF the bank lasted half day and
nearly the whole night, during which num-
Der OF men were killed on both sides, and
the defenders finally capitulated, with the
honors of war, 70 Sir Edgar Vincent ono OF
the Governors Of the bank, and NJ. Maxiom-
of. the dragoman Of the Russian Embassy
and we're escorted on board the Gulnare,
Sir Edgar's yacht. Later they were es-.
corted on board the French Messgageries
steamer Gironde.
The Armenians claim that this demonstra'
ton, like many others, was only planned to
compel Europe to redress the wrongs from
which they are suffering.
Massacres in ConstautinOplc.

MISSION BURGLARIES.

Back Doors Forced Open and Houses
Robbed in the Afternoon.
The police think they have in custody
the burglar who has been operating for
some time in the Mission district. Yester-
day officer E. ]. Thompson arrested

the Seventeenth-street station for vag-
rancy pending an investigation that may

1t is not believed that reputable butchers
will object to these regulations in the
least, and 1t is thought the Board OF SUI
pervisors will readily grant the request OF
the Board of Health that the hours of
slaughtering be arranged as mentioned.
Davis will also make a Recommendation
regarding the use or carrying into. the
City of meat Immediately after slaughter
ing. It has been the practice, particu-
larly of the Chinese, to take beef hearts
and livers to their quarter even before they
have become cola. 1t is well-kn own fact
that fresh meat, particularly shortly after
slaughterjng, has a tendency to attract
particles flying in the air, and it is believed
that disease germs are often introduced
into the system in this manner.
The Market Inspectors idea is that
butchers should be compelled to hang
such meats in their slaughter houses
twelve hours before they are allowed to be
taken away.
These matters will be brought up before
a meeting of the board at an early date.

CADETS co INTO CANT. !.
Six Companies of the League
of the Cross at Glen
Ellen.
They Will Live Like Soldiers in the
Field for a Week-Military
Masses.

The League of the Gross Cadets, with
the exception of com panies A and (which
already had their summer outing, left
town yesterday afternoon for Glen Ellen,
where they went into camp for week.
The cadets fell into line on Van Ness
avenue, near Market street, and marched,
with flags flying and drums rattling, to
the ferry depot of the San Francisco and
North Pacific Railway. Captain Filgate
was in command. Companies B, c, D, z,
G, II and L, under command of Captains
James Curley, Edward Fitzgerald, James
Mcbride, Daniel Mccarthy. Edward
Power. James Powers and William Clark
respectively.
They left on the evening train and ar
rived in camp in the dusk OF evening and
at once adjusted themselves to the strict
military discipline which will be theirs
for week to come.
Their camp has been named after the
Rev. Philip O'Ryan. spiritual director of
the league. Rev. James Mcdonald Of
st. Peters Church will be chaplain and
DR.. A. P Mulligan the camp surgeon.
The cadets will have taste of military
routine until next Sunday morning. Even
friends cannot be seen by the cadets until
10 o'clock in the mornings.
The daily routine, however, will be
varied pleasantly with athletic sports,
guard mounts, dress parade and reviews.
and visits of friends from San Francisco.
On the arrival of the 7:30 A. M. train
/ from the City this morning a grand mill
tary mass will be celebrated in the large
pavilion on the grounds.
The following Sunday similar services
will be held, and they give promise OF be-
ing very impressive ceremonies On the
latter occasion, however, the cadets choir.
which has been organized and instructed
by Professor Sandy, will sing the musical
accompaniment. Father Mcdonald will
officiate at both masses.
The military exercises will begin eyery
morning with drill from $3.50 TO 1880
o'clock. Inspection will follow at q and
from that hour until the bows will he free
to amuse themselves according to their
own inclination. At O'clock there will
be guard mount and dress parade. and
then the boys will be free until tattoo. A
grand ball has been arranged for Saturday
night.
This ampment is the principal one of
the league this year. Two Companies had
their outing, but the main BODY Of cadets
are united on g grand gathering al Glen
Ellen. Special rates have been made by
the Donahue Railway Company for ex-
cursions during the encampment. so it is
expected that the families and friends of
the boys will visit the camp in large
numb bers.

RISKS LARGELY INCREASED.

Market Inspector Ben Davis finished
task that was assigned to him by the
Board OF Health some time ago and yes
terday made known the result of his
labors to Health Officer Lovelace.
1t became known to the board that in
spite of the most strenuous efforts on the
part of Davis and his assistants diseased
beef was being slaug htered in Butcher
town and it was reasonably certain that
this meat was finding it's way into the City
to be sold for human consumption. Dur
ing the daylight when the inspectors
could be on hand the practice could not
be carried on, but after nightfall, when
the health employees had gone, home tired
out, the diseased cattle could be driven
into the slaughter-houses, killed, and
the carcasses removed before the return OF
the inspectors in the morning. Davis was
asked to devise some means to obviate
this,
Then the board has been appealed to by
the butchers and the companies with
whom they insure their places to find
some other means of preventing the use
of meat after condemnation than by pour
ing coal oil over it.

many cases, the odors arising from the

This matter was also placed i'll Davis
hands.
TO prevent the clandestine slaughtering
of diseased animals Davis will recommend
that the hours during which the Killing
can done be limited from Z A. M. TO P. NJ.
The Objectionable coal oil will be done
away with by having stamp, designed
to be used with indelible ink, purchased
for the use of the inspectors. With this

indication of determination and interest.

Mr.. Swift made brief but spirited ad-

property-owners would have to demand
justic iirom the Supervisors in season and
out of season until justice should be done.
He was also in favor of asking the City
press to aid the movement by keeping 1t

were dwelt upon at length by several
other speakers, all of whom urged imme-

noticeable.
Letters were read from ]. d. Phelan,
Henry E. Highton and A. S. Cornwall, in
which the objects of the club were cor
