PUT TO DEATH
Special Dispatch to The Can.

LONDON, June 2e.-The Paris cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail claims to
have indisputable authority for his de-
tails of recent events in Armenia. The
villages of Darmet, Adekeppoun, Ar
mist. Kari, Votoka and Mekrokoum
were sacked and burned. The inhab-
itants in many cases were massacred
and the corpses cast into wells.
Mekrokoum was pillaged by Kurds,
who were accompanied by Turkish SOL
diers. It's church was plundered and
profaned. Objects of worship were
sold at auction. Every able-bodied
man was stabbed, most of them in the
back.
During the night Turkish soldiers en-
tered the houses and violated the
women On the arrival of the British
and French Consuls the women rushed
to them, begging for mercy.
Judging from a trustworthy estimate
founded upon an inquiry made by the
British and French Consuls twenty
eight villages have been destroyed and
5000 persons massacred.

TOLsToI DENoUNCEs CzAR.
Indites Thunderous Philippe Against
Russian Government.


Russian Government.
LONDON, June 27.-The Times this
morning prints a ten-column disserta-
ton on the Russo-Japanese war written
by Count Tolstoi in his most violent
style. The trend of this remarkable
document is, first, against all war; but
it is practically a thunderous philippe
against the Russian Government and
the Russian orthodox church and gen.
orally against the existing order of
things.
Tolstoi says that the reservists
throughout Russia are "dissat tisfied,
gloomy and exasperated, and the old
appeal for faith. King and fatherland
has lost its spell over the Russian
masses"
The ten columns breathe gloomy fore
bodings and preach revolution. Tolstoi
holds the Emperor up to contempt as
an unfortunate and entangled young
man, recognized as the leader of $780,
o00 900 people, cruelty deceived and COM
PEELED TO contradict himself"
~Tolstoi. however, does not stop with
Russia, for japan is given share of
his stinging comments for having forci-
bly, resisted what he terms the "unpro-
voked aggression of Russia

Glad Port Arthur
Fleet Has Given
Battle.

Special Cable to The Call and New York
Herald. Copyright 1904. by the New York
Herald Publishing Company
ST. PETERSBURG, June 26.-In ST
Petersburg interest in the war is once
again at high pressure. Great, indeed,
is the jubilation here at the fact that
the entire Russian fleet has been able
to get out of Port Arthur. 1t comes as
the best news in the course of the war.
Military opinion is firmly of the belief
that the JaDanes are determined to
force a battle. The apparent slowness
in operations is due to the desire of
both Kuroki and Oku to advance in
dependently. However, the difficulty of
taking supplies over a broken country
points to the probability that the bat
tie, which it is admitted cannot be
averted, will take place at Kaichou.
The Siberian brigade under General
Kondratenko has joined General Stalk
elberg, and combined with his force is
falling back upon the north. The Rus
slams are terribly harassed by the
chunchus, who are increasing in num-
bers and audacity daily. Mistchenko's s
mission to stop the juncture of Kuroki
and Oku is said TO have failed.
News from Newchwang is highly
misleading. Several engagements end
ing unfavorably for the Russians, which
have never taken place, have been re-
ported from there lately. Such reports
are brought by unreliable Chinese, who
do a thriving business in selling sensa-
tional news to correspondents.
General Ma is said to have moved
northward into Mongolia, which brings
him nearer the seat of war and encour-
ages the chunchus. The Russ says:
THE chunchus are increasing daily
under japanese leaders, and keep Rem
nenkampffs entire force busy. The
Chinese are doing everything to hamper
our movements, even unrooting grow

dSScfL Iiidt nc HAS Again ILONOu Ills
Mastery Over the Enemy.
LONDON, June 27.-This morning 8
editorials by war experts devote much
space to the situation at Port Arthur.
The general view is that the Russians
at Port Arthur lost their opportunity
through their timidity and that Togo
has again asserted his right to be con-
sidered one of the worlds great ad-
mirals.
1t is conceded on every hand that,
while the details are not yet fully
known, when both sides tell the whole
story the calamity to Russia will be in
creased. 1t is pointed out, however,
that Port Arthur is open and that the
Vladivostok fleet may make another
diversion, in which case the remnants
of the Port Arthur squadron may at
any time make a forlorn hope dash for
a juncture.
The editorials, special dispatches and
articles by war experts join in express
ing the belief that great events are
impending and that the next few days
may have a great bearing on the final
result of the war
