Boston, Sept. 18.-The Armenian
American citizens of Boston and the
vicinity held mass meeting last night
to protest against the massacres Of Ar
menians in the Caucasus. Resolutions
were adopted denouncing the Russian
authorities and holding them RESPONSE
BILE for the death Of the thousands of
innocent persons The local officials
were charged with having actually ex-
cited the disorders and aroused Mos
lem fanaticism. The resolutions declare:
BY. Selling the weapons of the Armen-
ians, the Russian authorities deprived
our compatriots Of their means of self
defense, and furthermore did not use
! their military power to protect them
gainst the attacks Of Tartars, but on
the contrary, allowed the leaders Of
, these outrages to go unpunished. -
The Russian government in entire dis
regard of international law, permitted
{ the entrance into it's territory of armed
Kurds to join the Tartars in their muir
i der and plumber.
We protest against this barbarous state
OF affairs In the Caucasus and appeal to
the humane sentiments of the American
people and government bring pressure
sure to bear upon the government at ST.
Petersburg and to put an end to the
I bloodshed.

Petersburg:
'H5The situation at Baku has again as
sumed a highly critical phase: The
feeling between the Tartars and Arme-
mans is so tense that the slightest in
cident, may provoke a repetition of the
massaeres.
s"The Tartars refuse to opeu their
shops, in order to starve the Armenlans,
many of whom are reported to have
died from eating poisoned fruits.
"The situation will remain critical
until the arrival of strong reinforce
ments. Fifteen thousand troops are
expected on Tuesday. Till then no
work will be done in the oil fields. The
viceroy himself is going to Baku. :
"The Tartars and Armenians persist
! in laying the blame for the recent out
RACES upon one another, but, curiously,
all the Mussulman property on the oil
fields was found intact, whereas the
Armenian property was all destroyed.
The Russians suffered less heavily and
the foreigners still less.'
