AWFUL HORROR 1t IlRsUs

Adana Still Lawiess and Dead 10 Now
Estimated at 10000 with Troops
Terrorizing City.

Adana.-Adana Is still lawless. More
people have been killed in the city.
There are 10000 dead In the Adana
provinces as a result of the massa.
ores, and $4,000 homeless and penni-
less refugees are wandering in the
yilayet
The deaths in Adana city alone are
estimated at $500.
Adana is terrorized by 1000 sol.
diers, who are looting, shooting and
burning. No respect is paid to for
eign properties. Both the French
schools have been destroyed, and 1t Is
feared that the American school, com.
mercial and missionary interests in
Adana are totally ruined.
Tarsus. Asiadc Turkey.-Authentic
details of the atrocities committed by
the fanantical Mohammedans in the
villages and farms in this district are
now coming in to Tarsus with sicken.
ing abundance.
At least 10000 persons lost their
lives in this province, and some esti-
mates place the total casualties at
25, 600 Villages like Osmanieh,
Bazsche, Hamadieh. Kara, Kristian,
Keoy and Kezolook were actually
wiped out. Each OF these places had
populations of from 500 to 600 people.
The slaughter was unsparing;i even
Greeks and Syrians were struck down
with the Armenians.

death in their homes. Hundreds OF
girls and women were maltreated and
carried on to the harems, where the
women were separated from the men.
The correspondent was Informed
that at one place party Of 100 Arme,
mans surrendered to the soldiers. The
prisoners were taken to an open field,
where the women were ordered to
stand apart from the men. Every one
of the men was then shot. In many
cases they were done to death with
their women clinging to them, trying
to save their lives. A large number
Of women were wounded because OF
their persistence.
Young Turks around Tarsus traded
Armenian girls for horses and modern
repeating rifles. The entire ten days
seem to have been an insensate orgy
of lust and violence in the name OF
race and religion.
Marash, Asiatic Turkey-A letter
received here by messenger from Har.
nj says hat every man there has been
killed. Only women, girls and boys
under ten years Of age have been left
alive. The churches and houses were
plundered and most of them were
burned. t
