Bashi-Bazouks. 1t appears that on the
arrival of the Bashf-Bazouks Chaka.
larof's band of insurgents withdrew
to the mountains without sustaining
any loss. As no rebels were left in the
village, the inhabitants experienced no
anxiety until suddenly, at sunset, the
Turks, who had completely surround
ed the place, commenced a regular
bombardment, whereupon all the VII
layers assembled in the streets.
Though the artillery ceased firing dur
ing part of the night, the Turkish in
fantry fired all night long. The ar.
tillery bombardment was recon-
menced at daybreak, but, as it was in.
effective, the Turks set fire to the vii.
lage on all sides and commenced a
general massacre, slaughtering wom-
en-, children and the aged. About 300
houses were burned and upward of 200
persons. mostly women and children,
were killed.
