SLAUGHTERED
z THOUSAND
ARMENIANS

London, April 3.-The true story of the
BalCu massacre. as told In the Caucasian
newspapers. Is a tragedy with which the
atrooity OF Kishinef alone OF recent years
may be compared, Amerians at Baku
taking the place OF the Jews at Kishinef.
FOR four days" IN the words of the
BslSinskia Isvestia, "a savage becchanalia
ragged In which the passions OF homicide,
outrage, arson and plunder were let
loose"
The paper goes on 10 say that during
those days no less than goo people lost
their lives as victims IN the cold-blooded
Vaccinations OF the ST. Petersburg au-
thorities.
The latter attributed the outbreak 10 the
sudden development OF an internecine feud
between the Mussulman and Armenian in
habitants, but those acquainted with the
relations OF the Christians and Mussul-
mans there knew this 10 be false
The Bakinskia Isvestia says II has not
the slightest doubt that the massacre was
organized by the same blood-guilty per-
sons who planned the butchedy at Kish-
inef
On Feb. 10 a prominent Mussulman was
shot dead near an Armenian church.
This was the commencement of four days
OF indescribable horror
Tartars armed 20 the teeth careened
through the city, firing at every un-
armed Armenian they could see
Houses were burned and women and
children periShed Cossack pickets sta
toned in the street did not raise a hand
10 prevent them.
The slaughter was finally checked by
the Sheikh Islam, the religious head of all
the Mohammedans in Russia, coming
from Tifiis and denouncing the outrages
perpetrated on the Armenians In a
public address he threatened the Mo-
hammedans with the punishment OF God
for spiling the innocent blood of their
own brothers.
The concluding words OF the Shlekh
Islam were drowned by the sobs OF the
crowd and The Tartars, who threw down
their firearms and went over 10 the Ar
menians in tears and effected a reconcile
alton. joint memorial meeting was SUBJ
