The Rev. stephen D. Trowbridge. a
missionary Of the American board Of
commissioners for foreign missions,
estimates the number of Armenians
killed in the province of Adana since
the outbreak of the Christian
rioting, at $4,000. The missionary
said today:
"A conservative estimate of the
Christians killed in the city of Adana
is 5000. This calculation is made up
from the lists prepared by the
priests and other officials who give
permits for burials.
Not fewer than 10000 persisted in
the towns and villages of the pro-
vince. This figure is based on the full
information sent forward by the
British consul.
'Hphe surviving Armenians in the
entire province are largely women
and children. They amount to about
% 1000 souls and are today without
homes, shops. tools, clothing or bread.
A most pitiable and wretched multi
tude is passing up and down the
streets of Adana like a lost people,
they throng the big factory yards.
where a dole of food is given out by
the relief committee. Crowds of
broken-hearted women and children
are coming in from the country to
even greater misery in the city"
