And cool the warm day so"

And hurrying on he goes:
"A coverlet white | will spread to-

Made out OF the drifting SHOWS"

And crying about the caves:
NOld Earth. you'll be gray when /
strip away
Your red and yellow leaves"

DYE CITY RED WITH BLOOD.
Two American Missionaries Reported
ButChered in General Massacre.

Constantinople, April 16.-Infor-
nation received here to-day from
Adana, in Asiatic Turkey, declares
that two American missionaries have
been killed in the anti-Armenian ut
break a. that place.
The Moslem fanaticism against the
Christians Of Adana appears to have
broken out afresh. The Moslem at
tacks recommended yesterday after
noon and continued throughout the
night. Large numbers of Christians
are said to have been killed. One
report says that sixty Armenians
have lost their lives and that many
houses have been looted and burned.
There is no confirmation of the
death of the two American mission
aries. Their names are not given in
the dispatch received here. The Brit
ish vice consul at Mersina has pro-
ceeded to Adana.
The first news of this anti-Chris-
tian outbreak said the scene was at
Mersina, but this was erroneous. The
trouble occurred at Adana, which is
about SO miles inland from Mersina.
