Paris, May 1t.-An o1lciai fie7atch
to the foreign Office from Constantine
pie confirms the reports hat Turkish
troops have burned villages through
out the Sassoun district OF Armenia.
killing the inhabitants. The French
ambassador. NJ. Constans, has Joined
with the Russian and British ambas-
sadors in sending consuls to Erzeroum
In the hope Of limiting the destruction
and bloodshed.
However, the official advices, al
though brief, indicate that the work of
exterminating the Armenians occupy
ing the mountainous district of Sas
soun is practically accomplished. The
Turkish methods appear to have been
much the same as those adopted dur
ing the Armenian massacres. The
official reports do not give exact de-
tails as to the number Of towns burned
and people killed. but they show that
the action of the Turks has been sweep
ing. The French authorities were adj
yised some time ago that Turkey was
taking advantage Of Russia's preoccu-
patton in the Far East and intended
to adopt a decisive course toward the
rebellious Armenians.
The information then showed that
the Turks would begin the work of
suppression about April IS. In order
to prevent this the movers made an
energeI1c protest. This delayed Tnr-
keys action, which, however, has now
been executed with the same severity
as at first contemplated.

HEAVY F.CHTIHC EXPECTED
TRATInG LARGE FORCE AT
LlAOYANG.

ST. Petersburg, May 1f.-Much un-
certainty exists here as to exactly
what is occurring at the theater of
war, as much in regard to the Russian
movements as to those of the enemy.
General Kuropatkin's plans are most
carefully guarded. Although he is be-
lieved to be concentrating troops near
Liaoyang very little actual information
on the subject is obtainable.
The general impression, however. is
that heavy fighting will occur within
q fortnight. Advices received by the
general staff indicate that the Japan
ese are pushing the campaign in South
ern Manchuria with great energy. The
rainy season, which will render the
roads almost impossible, begins in six
weeks and the belief here is that the
enemy hopes to make his position Sc
cure by decisive engagement before
the rains set in. The army organ be-
lieves that at least eight divisions of
the enemy, not counting 10000 men
in the lower part of the Liaotung
peninsula, are in Southern Manchuria.
AS to the force advancing along the
littoral from the Yalu, where ii is be-
lieved another army has landed, infor-
nation is very incomplete.

INTERNAL SITUATION BAD.
Revolutionary Movement In Russia
Not improbable.

Rome, May 14.-A secret report re-
ceived from st. Petersburg depicts the
internal situation of Russia as becom-
ing most serious as regards the preser-
vation OF the present institutions, the
military failures In the Far East hav-
ing strengthened the opinion that the
evils are due to the present organiza-
tion of the country, in which change
is necessary. The hope is expressed
that the emperor himself, seeing the
danger, will be induced to grant the
country q constitution, In which event
II is asserted the enthusiasm Of the
people will become SO great as to rem
der II possible to raise an army and
collect the means necessary to defeat
japan. Otherwise, the report says, ii
is believed all the efforts made at st.
Petersburg will remain futile. as be-
sides the war In the Far East Russia
will be obliged to face latent II not
an open revolutionary movement at
home, depriving her of the assistance
OF the most progressive elements OF
the empire, such as the Poles and
Firms.

Liaoyang, May 14.-Nemirovich Dan.

sian Archibald Forbes. who is now in
the service of the Associated Press
has just arrived here from Port Ar

From Thursday, May 5, the enemys

Japanese torpedo boats occasionally

The Netherlands, the Credit Lyon
naise and Hottinguer & Co. at Paris.
II further loans are fioated before the
bonds mature it is stated that holders
of these bonds will be given prefer
ence of subscription In such loans.
An authorized statement accompanys
ing the ukase says that the outbreak
of the war found Russian finances
flourishing There was an available
surplus Of S6G, 100000. which was
doubled by a reduction In the budget
expenses. Altogether the war found
$50, 900 900 in the eSchequer, which
was coneidered to be insufficient. Pru
dence dictated that early preparation

Seoul. May 8, via Shanghai, May IA.
The Second Japanese army, number
ing 10000 men, left Chinampho on
eighty-three transports May A. The
soldiers were crowded on board the
vessels in the closest manner, one ship
having $500 men on board. So close
ly were they packed between decks
that exercise was impossible and very
little air was obtainable, but in spite of
these discomforts there was no gTum-
bling. Every precaution was taken to
prevent news of the departure of the
army from leaking out. The residents
of Chinampho were strictly disciplined
and no one was allowed to enter or
leave the town. Three Americans,
however, succeeded in escaping from
Chinampho on board junk. Twelve
days later they reached Chemulpo.
The Japanese have established a
naval base at Port Lazaref, on Brough-
ton bay, short distance north of Gen
san. The entrance of Port Lazaref is
defended by mines.

TO HARRASS THE JAPS.
Numerous Bodies of Russian Cavalry
Near NeWchWanQ.

Newchwang. May 14.-Numerous
bodies of Russian cavalry and infantry
have been disposed in the vicinity of
Newchwang and north of Tashihohao
in order to harrass, if not arrest, the
overland movement of the japanese.
The nature of the country Is favorable
for such an object, which, If success
full. will give General Kuropatkin time
to strengthen his position at Liaoyang,
where the heaviest guns have been
mounted during the past week.

Seoul, May 14.-It is asserted here
that the Japanese garrisons between
Pingyang and Wiju have sent scout
ing parties through the country east
of Chasyong, the extreme right of the
Japanese forces on the Yalu river, in
anticipation of a Russian fiankins
movement. The Japanese authoritie.
here consider it fortunate that the
Cossack raiders, who passed around
further east, did not do more damage
than they did.
The Japanese First army having en-
tered Manchuria the entire control OF

THE DALAI LAMA FLED.
Has shut Himself in "A Monastery
for Three Years.

Lhassa, Thibet, Aug. S-(Delayed in
transmission. 1.-THE British expedition
is encamped a mile from the sacred
mountain of Potala, on which is stu
ated the Dalai Lama's palace and in
the immediate vicinity of the Dalai La
mas private gardens.
The Dalai Lan!a has fled to a mon
astery eighteen miles distant. 1t is re-
ported that he has shut himself up in
strict seclusion, refusing to see even
the highest state officers and declaring
that he will remain secluded for three
years.
Col. Younghusband has received a
ceremonial visit from the Amban, who
promised to assist in arriving at set
tlement and made gifts of food to the
British troops.
The appearance of the city shows the
descriptions of explorers to be ex-
tremely accurate. The surroundings
are very fertile and the whole place
gives evidence of great prosperity.
A brilliantly costumed group watch
ed the approach of the expedition from
the roof of one of the structures on
Potala mountain.
