Washington.-S of almost in
credible barbarities practiced by Arabs
and Turks are contained in dispatches
received at the Italian embassy here.
In one from Rome the italian minister
of foreign affairs describes alleged
atrocities practiced on the Italian
wounded, which includes crucifixion
and burial alive. Women, it is SAID,
take part in the perpetration OF the
cruelties.
The dispatch, which is signed by
Signor San Guilano, minister of for
eign affairs, follows:
Near the mosque of Hani, where
the medical post of the Twenty-sev-
enth battalion of Bersaglieri had been
located, and in its vicinity, twenty
eight bodies of our soldiers were
found. They were horribly mutilated,
crucified, with their throats cut open'
impaled, torn to pieces and dlsmem-
bered. Among them was the body Oh
a surgeon lieutenant.
'In the Arab cemetery, near the
place where the Fourth company OF
Bersaglieri was located, seven bodies
of Bersaglieri were discovered. lhey
had been inferred alive, with the neaus
ont of the earth. The abody OF one
of these shows that he had been ter
ribly tortured. 1t showed many snot
and dagger wounds; the eyes had peeh
pulled out and threaded and the eye
lids sewn to the brows. This Dody
shows terrible spasmodic contractions'
Another one had one arm out OF the
earth. from which the hand had peeh
cut off. The body of Bersasileri
had been torn to pieces.
"a captains cap has been found anu
its owner was identified by Corporai
Pasuui. who escaped after remaining
four hours in a ditch. He testilieu
that among the ferocious lii-treallhs
hordes we're Turks and women. Inc
military engineer corps took photo

"It is reported that in the Arau
cemetery in the interior OF the CITY
the body of an Italian gunner was
found with many dagger wounds Inc
murderers were many and aniohe
them was a local policeman (Aaptie)
who is under arrest. From otnei
sources it is reported that the murder
was committed by the aforesaid zap
tie. with the passive assistance OF otn
or Zantie. who concealed the crime.
The dispatch also confirms Tue
withdrawal of the Italian troops IRON
Horni. This, it is said, was necessary
because the Turks had polluted inc
