hammedans in villages and
farms in this district are now
coming into Tarsus with sicken.
ing abundance.
The worst particulars Of these
narratives cannot be mentioned
bot they set forth without doubt
that at least 10000 persons lost
their lives in this province, and
some estimates place the to.
tai casualty list at $4,000. Viii
lagos like Osmanieh, Basche,
Hamadieh, Kara, Keystan, Koey
and kezolook were actually
wiped out. Each of these places
had populations of from 500 to
600 people. In one town of
1000 people there are less than
100 lett, nearly all of whom are
women and children.
1t was the same thing with
hundreds Of farms that dot this
wide and fertile plain. The
slaughter was unsparing; even
Greeks and Syrians were struck
down with the ArmenIans. En-
tire families were burned to
dea' h in their homes. Hundreds
of girls and women were NAL
treated and carried off to hare,ns,
where the women were separat-
ed from the men.
A correspondent was inform.
ed that at one place a party of
100 Armeniaus surrendered to
the soldiers. The prisoners were
taken to an open field, where
the women were ordered to
stand apart from the men.
Every one of the men was shot.
In many cases they were shot
with their women clinging to
them, trying to save their lives.
A large number of the women
were wounded because of their
persistence.
