STORY OF ATROCITIES
To.j by Man Who Has Been at
the Seat of War i'm
Macedonia.
DEVILIsH DEEDS THAT ARE DONE
Murder, Rapine aid PiIlage Rule the
Eours, Not Even Corpses Being
Spared by the Turks.

Sofa, bulgaria, Sept. IA Eu-
ropean merchant who left Monastir
Sept. has arrived at Sofia and has
given the Associated Press correspond
ent an account of the terrible condi-
tons prevailing in the vilayet of Mon
astir. He says that Hilmi Pasha's ad-
ministration has greatly disappointed
the Christians, who expected that he
would make an Improvement i'm the
situation. Hilmi Pasha, however, is
following the lines of his predecessors,
and the greatest excuses that have
ever been committed have happened
SINE his arrival. Throughout the
vilayet of Monastir the Turkish SOL
diers are daily perpetrating almost in
conceivable atrocities. They dishOnOr
the young girls in the prese.-ce of their
parents and pillage and murder every.
where.
They Even Rob the Corpses.
Even funeral professions are halted
and the corpses stripped of the new
clothes in which they are dressed, ac-
cOrding to the Macedonian burial Gus
tom. The priests vestments are seized
and the soldiers sell all their plumber
openly. the officers apparently consent
ing. The informant of the Associated
Press says the Christian Inhabitants
are terror-stricken, hourly fearing a
general massacre by the Mussulmans,
whose fanatical hatred of the Chris
tians has reached the highest point.
The shops are closed in Monastir, bust
ness is suspended and the streets are
deserted
Consuls Dare Not Leave Home.
Even the consuls do not dare to
venture outside their homes. The
country people are afraid to come to
the city, lest they should be robbed
and murdered on the way. Europeans
desiring to see the burned villages are
prevented by the authorities on various
excuses. The British consul wanted to
60 to Smilevo, but Hilmi Pasha in
formed him that he could not guar
antee his safety as the revolutionaries
had plotted to kill him.
Starvation In Front OF 10000 People.
The informant continues that it is
estimated that there are over 10000
people in the fields without shelter and
starving Hilmi Pasha has promised
the consuls that he will assist thedesti-
tute people. but he has done nothing.
even refusing TO allow them TO enter
the town and beg for goods.
CrueIties Charged to Christians.
Many cruelties perpetrated by Chris
tians are attributed to Greek spies
headed by Greek bishop, who with
the Greek consuls, it is said, are paid
by the porte for their services. The
Greeks are accused of inventing re-
ports for the purpose of tanning the
Mussulman hatred of the Bulgarians.
The Turkish functionaries openly scoff
at the idea of reforms or European
Intervention, declaring that should
armed European forces come the
Turks would immediately burn, de-
stroy and massacre, leaving only bare
fields throughout Macedonia

Strike at Honolulu.

The strike'of Japanese at Honolulu
plantation Yesterday was due to q
refusal OF the management to accede
to demand for the guarantee OF q
fiat wage OF $40 month. 1t seems
that the men had been working on q
proft-sharing plan, but their re-
turns had pro7ed greatly less
than they had expected. When
Manager Low refused to sanction
the guarantee about 500 men quit
work, and these tried TO get the sal,
airy mon to do likewise but without
success. In the afternoon mounted
police were despatched TO the scene
to prevent disorder. Subsequently
the japanese vice consul arrived and
conference, to which the case was
referred for arbitration, was formed
The matter is now being siited by
this council.

OIL FIELD

BEAUMONT, Tex, April 15.-Fire
In the oil fields this morning destroyed
two hundred and sixty.five derrIcks.
Loss will probably reach almost a mil
lion dollars
UP to noon million dollars worth
OF damage has been done and nearly
three hundred derricks lost. The fire
started from a lantern carelessly han
died. No effort Will be made to extin-
guish the fire as it is impossible to get
within a hundred feet of the flames. 1t
is believed that two-thirds of the com
panies in the burning district will be
unable to recover from damage done.
The fiames were started by the con.
tact of lantern with fywheeI
shortly after midnight Three blocks
on Spindle Top, comprising what is
known as Hogg- -Swayne syndicate

DENVER
BURGLARS
F0|LED

DENVER, Colo, April 15.-Safe
blowers attacked the Daniels bank on
Sixteenth street during the last night.
Possibly they knew there was a hun
dred thousand dollars in cash in its
vaults and made careful plans to get
1t. The touching of an automatic bur.
lar alarm caused the burglars to de
sist and they left the building before
the arrival of the police The bur.
glars made their entrance into the
bank through the second story, swing.
ing from there to trap door formerly
used for yentilating purposes. The
burglars were in tho bank from 9
O'Clock until about three when the bur
glar alarm in the Office of the company
on Lawrence street sounded Several
of the office force rushed up to the
bank, calling for policemen on the
way. They unlocked the door and
searched the building and found abun-
dant evidences of an attempt, but the
robbers had gone.
Cashier Foster says today there is
no danger, as it would take expert
enced burglars thirty hours to get in
side of the vaults.

You, TO whom such an experience
