NIseount Bryce Relates Story Of
Horrors at TifIls-Men MutIlated
and Women Attacked
Many Driven insane.

London.-Viscount Bryce made pub
1ic the details of further Armenian
massacres, which, in a letter accom-
panying them, he says, "surpass in
horror, If that was possible, what
has been published already"
After giving the parts of the evil
dence received from the United
States, Viscount Bryce says that the
following extracts we're taken from
his correspondent at Tiflis:
Toward the end of May, Djevdet
Bey, the military governor, was ex-
PEELED from Van. Dievdet fled south
war and entered Sairt with some g.
900 soldiers, whom he called butcher
battalions.'
Victims Dug Own Graves.
"On June rs, the Turks surrounded
The town of Tiflis and cut its COM
munieations with neighboring Arme-
nian villages. Then most of the able
bodied men were taken away from
their women by domiciliary visits.
"At Mush early in July the authori-
ties demanded arms from the Arme-
mans and a large sum in ransom of
notables of the town. The head men
Of the village were subjected to re-
voting tortures. Their finger-nais
and then their toe-nails were forcibly
extracted; teeth were knocked out,
and in some cases noses were whit
tied down, the victims thus being
done to death under shocking, nnger-
ing agony.
Women Attacked in Public.
1.-THE female relatives of victims
who came to the rescue were attacked
an iublic before the very eyes of the
mutilated mel The shrieks and
death cries of the victims filled the
air. yet they did not move the Turk
ish beast.
MANY women went mad and threw
away their children. Some women
knelt down and prayed amid the
flames which were burning their
bodies. Others shrieked for help. The
executioners grasped infants by one
leg and hurled them into the fire,
calling out to the burning mothers:
Here are your lions
when every warrior had fallen,
several Of the younger women who
were in danger of falling into the
hands of the Turks, threw themselves
from the rocks, many of them with
infants in their arms"
