THOUSANDS OF REFUGEES.
Enormous Number Of Survivors OF
Massacres Reach Latakia.

Beirut, April 29-The telegraph lines
are interrupted, and little news was re-
ceived here today from the districts
where the terrible disorders have pre-
vailed for the past two weeks. Al
though an enormous number of refu-
gees nave reached Latakia, the COVER
nor, who has been getting troops 20
gether, claims that he is perfectly ap'e
to protest the city. This is doubtful
particularly if the British warships
there should be withdrawn. Refugees
are flocking to all the cities and it is
imperative that they receive aid, for
thousands are starving.
The relief committee at Beirut, or
which Consul General Ravendal is
chairman is doing effective work. ana
it has sent out an appeal for $4,000 TO
relieve suffering and distress for at
least few days.

LONDON. April 29-Accumulated
wealth and The Trade" which the
liquor business is popularity called in
the Liberal governments budget. which
David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the
excheaucr, presented in the House of
Commons today, are made to bear the
burden OF the e15, 100000 deficit of the
fiscal year incurred by the old age pen
sions and the race with Germany for
''Drcadnoughts."
Socialism and cOnfiscation," the
wealthy classes are already crying, and
a few are clutching at the hope that
the House of Lords, which represents
these classes, may throw out the bud
get entirely, but this is improbable. In
creased income taxes, death estate and
legacies duties, a tax Of 20 per cent. on
future increases in the value of lands
due to TIE enterprise of the commu-
nifty, taxes on motors to be devoted
to keeping up the roads. and stamp
taxes on sales of property are the prln-
cipal levies upon wealth.
The government gets its revenge for
the rejection recently by the Lords OF
it's licensing bill, by increasing the
taxes on some classes Of public houses
and tine customs excise duties on
spirits A tax of three pence or the
pound on sales of liquor in clubs Is al
so imposed, and this is likely to an
tagonize both the liquor interests and
the workingmen On the other hand,
the latter are placated by provisions
made for labor exchanges for the I'M
employed, expenditures for forest
station ana the promise of an industri-
al commission as well as the satisfac-
ton OF knowing that the rich are to
carry the greater share Of the load.
The rev taxation bears heavily on
corporations. The only features affect
ing the United States are the increase
in the tobacco tax. a tax of three
pence per gallon on petroleum and
heavier stamp duties on stock trans
actions.
The first comments of the members
of both parties indicated establishment
at the number and the sweeping nature
of the changes in the countryS finan-
cial system.
1.-The maddest budget ever intro
duced," Sir Frederick George Banbury
termed 1t during a speech in which he
declared that the new budget included

AUSTEN Chamberlain denounced 1t
for imposing so large a proportion of
the nations burdens on a few people

leader of the Irish party. asserted that
the v'hiskey tax imposed another bur-

would resist by every means. The in

A GENERAL MASSACRE
Was Planned for May 24-Sultan's
Downfall Alone Prevented.

London, April 29.-The Daily Tele-
graphs Constantinople correspondent
says that the report that preparations
had been made for a general massacre
last Saturday is absolutely confirmed.
1t appears, says the correspondent,
that Tewfik Pasha forewarned the COM

on Friday. In consequence it was de-
cided to issue a proclamation announc-
ing the retention of the Sultan on the
throne. and a forced march was made
for IA hours, enabling Constantinople to
be occupied on Saturday instead of
Sunday as originally planned.
