coNsTANTINoPLE, April IL
News this morning from Asia Minor
is distinctly alarming. There Is
great excitement among the Mussul-
mans at Beirut and Erzeroum and
masacres are feared.
No confirmation has yet been re-
ceiyed here of the reported killing
of two American missionaries at
Adana.
The latest intelligence says several
hundred Armenians and Moslems
have been killed at Adana in rioting
and that the Armenian quarter Of
the town was finally overwhelmed
and destroyed by flames.
The situation here among both
military and civilian elements Is
more quiet. Casualties during the
mutiny Tuesday and Wednesday
were a score killed. and upwards Of
five hundred wounded.
Three hundred Mohammedars
armed with rifles left Adana today by
train for Tarsus, 20 miles away. Since
the departure of these men commu-
nteatlon with Tarsus has been in
terrupted. Grave apprehension 10
felt regarding the situation there.
