from Armenia comes the news that
the oppression of the tax collectors
surpasses any incident of the kind
FURNISHED by the past. Not only are

to take into account tho thousands OF
ArmCnianS who rcrishcd durirm tho
massacres or fed the country in con.
sequence Of those events, and they arc
demanding tho sam" amounts from tho
villages as before the disturbances, \
missionary from ArGOrn says that ihc
amount Of taxes demanded from that
town is tCn times as great as the total
valuation Of the real estate. ArmoA.
ian5 in several districts arc petition
ing the Russian authorities TO let

with these reports are the DISPATCHES
from Macedonia to the London Times
to the effect that in no single instance
can the burning Of villages and other
outragcs committed in northern Mace
dOnia be attributed to the Turkish
soldiers or irrcgulars. The military
authorities have behaved with an cy-
traordinary clomcncy and the troops
