PERSIAN Horde
THREATENS CITY
Great Massacre by Tribes
men Feared at Ardebil.
FOREIGNERS In DANGER

Together With Government Officials
and Others, Their Only Defenders
Being Few Cossack Guards.
Scenes of Widest Horror Enacted
Throughout the City.
Teheran, Nov 6.-Messages re-
ceived here FROM Ardebil, where the
tribeSmen have risen, say the natives
are besieging the Russian consulate,
where the Persian governor and other
government officials, the clergy and
all foreigners have taken refuge. The
tribesmen have demanded the imme-
diate surrender of the place, threat
ening If it holds out to burn the town
and massacre ALL The consulate is
defended by q few Cossack guards,
who are not equipped for long re-
sistance, having little ammunition.
There is nc hope that the reinforce
ments sent here from Tabriz will ar
rive in less than three weeks, too
late, it is believed, to save the in
habitants. Under orders from st. Pc
tersburg a second strong Russian de-
tachment started for Ardebil with in
structions to avenge the massacre of
the foreigners If they are too late to
prevent il.
The town OUTSIDE of the Russian
consulate is the scene of widest hcr-
rors. Tribesmen are looting. burning
houses and outraging women and
children. 1t is unlikely that the lead
ers will be able to restrain their wild
followers from slaughtering if the con-
sl,late falls, even should they desire
to avoid Russian vengeance.

DEATH OF LONE GIRL A MYSTERY

Probably Killed by Club After She
Had Received shelter.
What is believed to have been a pc
culiarly atrocious and mysterious MUIR
der was revealed when the battered
body of Miss Mary Malone was found
in the little room she had occupied
only one day in East 31st street, New
York. Late Saturday night she had
appealed to the woman conducting the
rooming house for shelter, saying that
she was without funds and had been
elected from her former home. She
was apparently well at noon Sunday
when the mistress of the house served
her with tea But when the room was
entered at night the young woman was
found dead on the bed with evidences
of having sustained a frightful beat
ing. Great welts on her head and body
indicated to the police that her assail-
ant had used club. So far as known,
Miss Malone had no visitors, but it is
said that it would have been easy for
stranger to have assembled the stairs
and reached the young woman's room
unnoticed by other occupants of the
house.
