Details Of .Massacres

TARSUS, Asiatic Turkey, Saturday,
April a. via Constantinople, May A.
Authentic details of the atrocities COM
mitted by the fanatical Mohammedans
in the villages and farms in this dis
trict are now coming into Tarsus with
sickening abundance.
The worst particulars of these mar
ratives cannot be mentioned, but they
set forth without doubt that at least
10000 persons lost their lives in this
province and some diplomats place the
total casualties at $4,000. Villages like
Osmanieh, Bazsche, Hamadieh, Kara,
Kristian, Keoy and Kezolook were ac-
tually wiped out. Each of these places
had populations of from 500 to 900 peo-
pie In one town of 1000 people there
are less than 100 left, nearly all women
and children.
1t was the same thing with hundreds
of chiftlikes, or farms, that dot this
wide and fertile plain. The slaughter
was unsparing. Even Greeks and
Syrians were struck down with the
Armenians. Entire families were
burned to death in their homes. Hun
dreds of girls and women were mall
treated and carried off to the harems.
The correspondent was informed that
at once place a party of 100 Armenians
surrendered to the soldiers. The pris-
oners were taken to an open field,
where the women we're ordered to
dBdAI lAOIIl liiG
Every one of the men was then shot.
In many cases they went to death
with their women clinging to them,
trying to save their lives.
Many Women Injured
A large number of women were
wounded by the Turks because of their
persistence.
Sixty men who were brought down
into this district from Hadjin are now
held as slaves.
Young Turks around Tarsus are to-
day trading Armenian girls for horses
and modern repeating rifles. The en-
tire ten days seem to have been an in
sensate orgy of lust and violence in the
name of race and religion. In the
massacres of fourteen years ago there
was no such desire to kill women and
children as has been evidenced in the
last massacres.
There have been numerous instances
of the numbering of women and chill
dren with deliberation and there ara
other instances where women were
brought out one by one and shot down,
the bystanders clapplng their hands at
each fresh execution.
The local authorities are giving 4
