UNSPEAKABLE ATROCITIES
Committed Upon Christians by
Turks.

New York-A dispatch to the Jour
nal and Advertiser from Vienna says /:
Further reports of the Turkish mas
sacre of Christians show that their
instigation is a Mohammedan fanatic
named Haduk Islam, who brags of
having slaughtered 200 Christians
with his own hands. The Turkish
authorities have shown utter indiffer-
ence to the massacres and the out
RACES perpetrated on Christians are
beyond description.
At Pituch men were crucified on
trees with stakes driven through
their hands and feet. Women were
attacked and then mutilated. Chill
dren were murdered by mutilation
before their parents eyes. Women
ere maltreated at Grumma before the
eyes OF their husbands, fathers and
brothers and then carried into the
bondage of harems. Men were done
to death slowly by various means,
their limbs cut off successfully and
children were thrown into the river.
The fiends tortured the Christians at
Riharitz by slicing flesh from all
parts of their bodies before killing
them. A Greek othordox priest as
tied in sack and pitched into the
river at Genovita. The Servian con-
sui at Miterovitza estimates that
l, 100 persons have been killed and
placed in harems.

warships Ordered to Support Minis
ter I.oomis.

Washington. Upon representations
from interested parties the state de-
partment has requested the navy de-
partment to have an American war
vessel remain for time in Venezue-
Ian waters to give support to any
representations that United States
Minister Loomis may have to make
the Venezuelan government in re-
spect to the conflicting asphalt con-
cessions in that country.
When Mr.. Loomis was in Washing
ton last fall he conferred at length
with the state department officials
respecting some of the American con-
cessions, notably these asphalt con-
cessions, and what is known as the
Fairibault concession, which were
threatened with extinguishment of
various scores by the Venezuelan
government. Where the issue was
directly between the concessionaries
and the Venezuelan government the
matter was not difficult of treatment,
but where the contest was between
several concessionaries the problem
was much more complicated.
Mr.. Loomis went back to Caracas
with the general instructions from
the department of state to exert all
proper pressure to secure American
rights in that section. But the com
plainants were first, for their part, to
exhaust the regular judicial methods.
If they had grievances which could
be brought before the Venezuelan
courts for hearing this course should
be taken. Therefore the placing of a
warship to his support is believed to
be the purpose of terminating some
OF the many vexatious delays which
are often experienced in the tribunals
of South American courts.
The vessel selected for this mission
is the historic Hartford, which, un-
der command of Captain Hawloy, has
been cruising in the West Indies and
in the Caribbean Sea with trainaing
crew aboard. She is now at La
Guayra, jnst where she is wanted to
meet the minister's demands.

Washington. After spending the
greater part of the past fortnight in
considering the Hay -Pauncefote trea-
ty for the modification of the Clay
ton-Bulwer convention of $50, the
senate consumed only one hour and
ten minutes in amending it, and rati-
flying it as amended.
During the time there were six roll
calls and several viva voice votes.
Tho first five of The roll calls were on
amendments offered by individual
senators, and the last one on the reso-

jorities averaging abont nineteen.
The ratification reached was adopt
ed by vote of 90 to 11S.
Senator Lodge, who as member of
the committee on foreign relations,
has piloted the treaty through the
senate since the death of Chairman
Davis, lost no time in demanding
that the voting begin when O'Clock

Elkins' amendment declaring that
nothing in this treaty shall be CON
strued to prevent the United States
from at any time acquiring sufficient
territory and sovereignty over same,

purpose the United States may deem
best in it's own interests. /"

only Two Negroes Known to Have

A special from Lake Providence,
La, says:
Various rumors have prevailed late
ly up and down the river relative to
the fynching of the negroes that took
place at Arcadia, Miss, on the 18th
instant for the killing of a trading
boatman by the name of Thompson,
his wife and child. AS many as sew
enteen negroes are said to have been
brutally slaughtered by the mob. Az
there is no telegraph nor telephone
stations at Arcadia, it was impossible
to ascertain the details. A citizen
from Arcadia said: Three negroes
have been captured, bat only two
have been lynched, after they had
confessed to the killing Of Thompson,
his wife and child.

trance of the parsonage of st.

United States Senator William V.Sul-

ried to Mrs. Marie Newman Atkins,

three policemen in plain clothes is
explained by the fact that Miss Mai

Former Mistress of Her Husband.

the Kentucky murderess, arrested at
the intsigation of Chief Hughes of
Somerset, told her side of the story.
With tears in her eyes she first
asked if they hang women in Kentuc-
KY and appeared greatly relieved
when told that such proceeding was
unlikely. Her next inquiry was what
they do with women who kill, and
when told that if it is clear case
of cold blooded and premeditated
murder, Imprisonment for life would
scarcely be escaped, she said that she
did not expect to escape, for to all
appearances the deed was premedi-
tated.

said "The woman, my stepfather's g
former mistress, was the sole cause
