WOMAN SAYS BULGARS
KILLED TURKS LIKE DOGS.
She Writes From KavaIa Telling of
Awful Massacres by Troops.

An Austrian woman living in kavala
has written letter dated Dec. 9, but
only now published in the Montags
Zeitung, in which she describes fearful
atrocities by Bulgarian komitadJis
upon the Turkish inhabitants. Having
described the arrival of the Komitadjis
in Kavala and the arrest of the gov
ernor, she proceeds:
"On the following day a man hunt,
or, more properly speaking, a Turk
hunt, began. People who had commit
ted no other crime than that they were
Islamites, and these the best situated
in the city, were taken' prisoners and
executed without even a pretense OF
trial in the most cruel manner.
"At midnight prisoners were awaken
ed, bound together while half naked in
twos and threes and then wounded in
the abdomen between the ribs and in
other parts of the body with bayonets
The murderers then reversed their ri
fles and beat them to death with the
butt ends of guns like mad dogs. Age
or rank was no reason for mercy. On
the first night thirty-nine were tortured
to death, on the second fifteen, on the
third eight and on the following night
thirty, until 115 were killed in Kavala
alone.
'In a neighboring city the Turks de-
Tended themselves and shot two sol
diers. Thereupon their officer took out
his watch and said: 1T is 4 o'clock.
Now you may do what you like to the
Turks until 4 tomorrow That was
enough for the soldiers. The brutal
wretches murdered 1900 Turks in
twenty-four hours"

- EMARKABLE stories of Peru

were brought 10 u lis country
~ recently by two expeditions
which had gone ON different
missions into the Businesses of the
South American country. The heads
of these expeditions were Stuart Fuller,
formerly American consul at Goteborg,
Sweden, who was detached to make an
investigation of the alleged cruelties
practiced upon the Indians in the Pu-
tumayo rubber district, and Professor
Hiram Bingham Of Yale. who searched
for pre-IncH remains.
Both these gentlemen told of horri-
Bile conditions in the southern cline.
Mr.. Fuller declined to tell the nature
of his report, which he sent to Wash
ipgton. but he said that the investiga-
ton revealed a greater barbarism in
the treatment of the Peruvian Indians
than that practiced in the Kongo
Mr.. Fuller minated that the Monroe
doctrine might be invoked in the Putu-
mayo situation. He was unable to say
what the procedure might be, as the
United States never had faced situa-
ton like it. In the case of the Kongo
outrages this country was concerned
because of the antislavery treaties

In 1896 the rubber possibilities OF
the region were first discovered. and
the concession for collecting the sap
was given by the Peruvian govern
ment to the Arana Bros. The district
was inhabited by Il harmless, peaceful

J ploitation OF the rubber possibilities
+. followed, in which the Indians were
reduced to state of slavery by the
most shockingly barbaric methods.
Results only were asked without re
gard to the future development OF the
rubber possibilities.
Not only men. but women and chill
dren. were expected to furnish their
share of the supply or suffer the most
horrible torture.
In 1905 thirty-six Barbadian negroes,
British subjects. were imported as dep
uties, and the cruelty increased.
About this time the rubber conces-
sion was sold to the Peruvian Amazon
| company. a British trading concern of
good standing. 1t is not known wheth-
er it had any knowledge of the means
employed to produce results, but the
system continued.

Well, they're not complaining.
Uncle pays the going rate there

But nearly all the men are skilled
miners, working on a tonnage basis.
They are paid 60 cents a ton for
room work in 25-foot rooms; 20 cents
for 10-foot rooms or ''neeks,' and 80
cents for 7-foot entry or tunnel work.
These ton-workers average from
$500 to $4 day, after paying for
their explosives, lamps, picks. shovels
and repairs. The best miners net
$3.50 to S. a day. and the average
coal miners wages In the United
States are about 81 day!
Add to that the fact that Uncle

GIRL SUICIDE VICTIM
F|ANCEE OF LAROCQUE

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j., Aug. %
The body of the young woman who
killed herself by inhaling gas in the
Isleworth Inn in this city on We'd
nesday was identified last night as
that of Veronica Bishop, who had
tried to commit suicide by drowning
herself the day before at Port Jeffer-
son, L. !. She declared at that time
that she had been the fiancee of Louis
e. Larocque. the lawyer and society
man who drowned himself at the
same spot on August 8.
The identification of the body was
made by Frank Talbot, of 149 East
Fifty-first street, New York city, a
friend of Larocque, who had prevent
ed Miss Bishop carrying out her sui
cidal plan at Port Jefferson.
Talbot stated that Miss Bishop was
in Virginia at the time of Larocque's
death and did not learn of it until
she returned to this city on August
Is, when she Immediately set about
planning to follow him, making her
first attempt the next day. He said
she and Larocque had been engaged
to be married for some time.
