BOSTON. April 20.-The massacre at
Adana. Turkey. and the death of Mission
ary D. Minor Rogers Of Merden. Conn.
were reported last night in a cablegram
to- James L. Barton, D. D.. secretary of
the American board of commissioners
for foreign missions. from President T..
d. Christie of st. Paurs Institute. Amer
lean college at Tarsus.
The telegram was as follows:
Massacre Adana and Tarsus. Rogers
killed All others safe. Tell friends to
send relief"
No mention is made of the death of
Maurer. which Is due. according to the
belief of Secretary Barton to the fact
that Maurer was not officially connected
with the foreign mission board, being of
the Mennonite Sect
The cablegram was the first explicit in
formation received by the American board
headquarters OF the massacre. Sunday a
cablegram was received which contained
but two words. Help Adana," and which
only served to confirm vaguely the press
dispatches of the massacre.
