Fearful Armenian Massacre-Bodies Food
for Dogs.

Advices from Harpoot, Eastern Turkey,
received in Boston confirm dispatches to the
Associated Press in regard to the extent and
barbarity of the recent massacre at Egin.
These advices state that many OF the dead
were left In the streets for days as the food
for dogs, and large numbers were thrown
into the Euphrates.
The bodies were seen floating down the
river 40 and SO miles below the city. In some
cases whole families were obliterated.
Exact statistics. Of course, cannot be given
now, but 1t is feared that 1000 is an under
estimate. All the testimony ut hand concurs
In showing that the massacre was official,
and that it was wholly without reason.

The New York Suns correspondent In
Kingston, Jamaica, under date OF October

Private advices received here yesterday
from Port au Prince, Haytl, report the dis
covery at Aux Cages OF a conspiracy to over
throw the government. Most OF the exilos
who recently returned to Hayu are impli-
Gated, and so are many government officials.
Ii was only by the merest chance that the
police department obtained clew. The
recent outbreaks of incendiarism are attrib-
uted to these would-be revolutionists. Mr..
Bonzey, director OF customs at the port OF
Aux Cages has been arrested and many
other government officers have been lodged
In prison, suspected OF compli 'ity. The
conspiracy is said to have originated with
the canalst section and color is given to this
by the fact that Mr.. Bonzey is a leading
member OF the party. Extreme disquiet ex-
lists in Port au Prince.
