Beirut. MAY An investigator who
has just returned here from a trip to
kessab, reports that all the American
property at that place has been COM
pletely DESTROYED by the Moslcm raid
ers. The American property there
consists OF girls high school under
the direction of Miss Eflie n. Cham
bers. Jhree-fourths of the native
houses also Have been destroyed, but
the Armenian church and the new
Protestant school building arc stand
Ing
Almost all the people who fled from
Kessab have returned TO find their
houses looted. They are absolutely
destitute. Some food and clothing
arc being distributed but there is no
system in the work and the supplies
are entirely inadequate.
One hundred Turkish reserves have
returned 10 the town. but as they took
part in the rioting and killing there,
the people cannot trust them.
The protection they afford is in no
sense sufficient. The situation at
Deurytul, on the coast north OF Kes-
sab, still is critical.
Adana Asiatlc Turkey. Wednesday,

Macedonian soldiers, sent here by the
authorities, are today faithfully guard
Ing the American school and mission
residence. but otherwise the city Is
demoralized.
The grain on the Adana plain is
ripe for the harvest, but no Armen-
ian refugees dare go back TO their
farms, as the surrounding country Is
still dangerous for any man not
Turk.
The relief work is being carried on
systematically In Adana. Special
camps have been established for per-
sons suffering from contagious dis
eases such as typhoid fever and small
pox. 1t is costing S1,250 day 10 run

Adapa, Wednesday, April Is, by mes
senger TO Constantinople. May THE
news of the accession to the Turkish
throne of Mchmed v, which reached
here yesterday evening. was the rea-
sou for weird and wild rejoicing. The
demonstration began with the firing oil
cannon from the barracks and there
was general shooting in all parts OF
the city for more than an hour.
Some fanatics thought this would
be a good time to renew the attacks
on ArmenianS and complete their eX'
termination, and at once began to
raise mob The Turkish Of
fioers worked hard to stop this move
ment, and by bugle calls and rapid
patrols, they succeeded IN turning the
excited evolutions Of the people into
a harmless celebration.

J. Wilkes Booth, the Actor,
the Alleged Assassin Of
the President.
THE OFFICIAL DISPATCH.
War Department,


Washington, April Is, 1:3O a. m
Major GENERAL DIX, New York
This evening at about $3.50 p,
M, at Ford's Theatre, the Presl.
dent, while sitting in his private
box with Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Har-
ris and Major Rathburn, was shot
by an assassin, who suddenly en-
tered the box and approached be-
hind the President.
The assassin then leaped upon
the stage, brandlshing a large
dagger CT knife, and made his
escape in the rear of the theatre.
The pistol ball entered the back
of the Presidents head and pene-
trated nearly through the head.
The wound is mortal.
The President has been insen.
sible ever since it was inflicted,
and is now dying.
About the same hour an assas.
SIN, whether the same or not, en-
tered Mr.. Stewards apartments,
and under pretense of having a
prescription was shown to the
Secretary's sick cham ber. The
assassin Immediately rushed to
the bed and inflicted two or three
stabs on the throat and two on
the face.
1t is hoped the wounds may not
be mortal. My apprehension Is
that they will prove fatal.
The nurse alarmed Mr.. Fred.
erick Seward, who was IN an ad.
joining room, and he hastened to
the door of his fathers room,
when he met the assassin, who
inflicted upon him one or more
dangerous wounds. The recov.
cry of Frederick Seward is doubt
full.
1t is not probable that the Pres
ldent will live through the night. |
General Grant and wife were
advertised to be at the theatre
this evening, but he started to
Burlington at six O'Clock this ev.
enlng.
AT cabinet meeting, at which
General Grant was present, the
subject of the state of the coun.
try and the prospect of a speedy
peace was discussed. The Pres
ident was very cheerful and hope |
full, and spoke very kindly of
General Lee and others of the
and OF the establish
ment of government in Virginia.
