The Massacre At Sassoun.
Buffalo, Nov. 23 Misses Charlotto
K. Elv and Mary C. Ely have just re
turned homo after a long period of mis
sionary labor in Eastern Turkoy, under
tho direction of tho American board of
missions for foreign missions. Tbeir ab
sence covers a period of 23 year, and so
60on as affaire in tho disturbed districts
bavo quieted down they will return to
Turkey. Tho Misses Ely wero stationed
at Bitlis, about 55 miles from Moosh,
Whero tho most horriblo of tho atrocities
occurred.
Speaking of the Sassoun massacres, a
large part of which occurred near Moosh,
one of the ladies said:
'The massacre was undoubtedly
planned bv tho porte. Tho immediate
provocation catno about as follows:
"Tho Kurds wero in tho habitof raid
ing tho flocks of tho Armenians. The
Armenians, impoverished by repeated
acts of robbery, banded together together
for tho pnrposo of recovering their flocks
from tho Kurds. When tho two parties
met, of course, thero was lighting. Two
Moslems were killed and several Chris
tians. Tho Turks mutilated tbe bodies
of their slain countrymen. After that
the corpses wero carried to tho quarters
of the provincial government of Bitlis,
and shown to tho vali, Tahsin."
' 'Seo what tho .Christians aro doing
to u?, ' they exclaimed to the vali."
Miss Ely said that after tho first colli
siou a series of retaliatory conflicts too.
place. That was a year ago last August
boon afterward laustn rosna went in
person to Galigozan and ordcrod tho
massacre f the Armenian Christians,
He wero suspended by a cord about his
neck an imperial 'edict from tho porto,
commanding him to "chastise." tho
Christians. This was read to the Turk
ish soldiers who had massed at that
place from all parts of Asia miuor. Miss
Ely continued:
"Beforo the reading was completed, as
if unable to delay the diabolical deed,
Tahsin gavo tbe order to 'smite' the
Christians. Then followed a scene at
most too awful to describe, so terrible
were the ordera given by the officers.
Some of the hotter ones among tho com
mon ecldiers bejxed that they be not
compelled to carry them out. Others
actually refused to execute such barbar
ous commands, and were told if they did
not obey orders they would be shot from
the canuon's mouth. Some of the good
soldiers, however, protected Armenian
children, hiding them in fields of grain
and among tho rocks in the mountains
The missionaries say it was hard to
pick specific instances out of such an in
ferno of cruelty, but mentioned the lot
lowing:
"llie soldiers would toss children into
the air and catch them on their bayonets
when they came down. At other times
they would stand a nnmlier ot children
in a row, each Tnrk would take a child
by the hair, and they would see who
would be the first to cnt the child's head
off.
-uen inusin started on tits mission
of butchery he took with him a large
quantity of kerosine oil for the purpose
of removing by firo all vestiges cf the
dreadful work which be contemplated,
The oil was afterward used to saturate
tbe clothing of living beings and the
match would be applied."
"I saw one boy with the whole side of
his face burned away. Ho told me ho
had been attacked by the Turks and
then thrown on a heap of coals, being
left for dead."
Miss hly was asked about tho treat
ment of Armenian women bv tho sol
diers. She said :
"Tho violation of women and girls by
the Turks was one of the commonest and
worst features ol the whole horrible
affair. In one instance scores of them
were shut up in a church and kept there
all night by the soldiers. In tbe morn
ing they were all murdered. One wit
ness told me that ho saw blood flow over
the threshold of tbe building."
Through the Straits.
Paeis, Nov. 30. A report is current
that a British warship has passed
through the Dardanelles, and that
wlule making the inward passage she
was fired upon by the big Turkish forts,
The rumor cannot be confirmed.
Constantinople, Nov. 29. After all
tho warliko talk of yesterday tho British
ambassador, Sir Phillip Currie, has
barked down, and the British gunboat
Dryad has been orderd back to Salonica,
Tho general opinion is that tho powers
bavo been placed in a somewhat ridici
lous position. Following tho repeated
threats of forcing n passago of tho Dar
dandles if the sultan persisted in refus
ing to allow extra gunboats to enter tbe
Bo3phorua, ;this looks very much as if
Abdul Hamid aud his advisers wero well
informed when thoy persisted in holding
out against the demands of tho rcprescn
tctivca of Great Britain, Russia, Italy
and Austria, for additional guardships
believing they wero justified in eo doing
on the ground that tho powers are not
accord as officially stated, and thot th
di3eatmg powers were behind Abdul
Hamid in tho stand ho has taken.
I
C iment on the Backdown.
if x, iov. w. . (lispaicti irom
Coiininiitinoplo this nfterneon, which an
nouriieil tho humiliating backdown of
tho British ambassador to Turkey, Sir
Phillip Currie, in bis insistence, based
on treaty rights, that Great Britain, and,
incidentally, Russia, Italy and Austria,
be nllowod an extra guardahip in tho
Bosphorus, was not well received by the
tory jiugoos, and it is certain to be made
much of by tbeir opponents.
Although tho Dryad hsd been ordered
back to Salonica, it is understood in of
ficial circles that this Is only a tempor
ary move, taken in ordor to avoid giving
any provocation which might lead to
rioting in Constantinople, aud tho buI
tan's obstinacy in this matter is all the
moro annoying, for it is clear that the
powors aro being dallied with and placed
n an undignified position by Abdul
Hninid, who is evidently skeptical as to
tho longevity of tho European concert.
The suggestion is .published here
that tho sultan has a fow brokers oper
ating on the different foreign bourses,
and that he has been personally manipu
lating tho recont rapid changes of the
political situation in tbe east from a
speculative point of view. If this bo trne
Abdul Ilrtinld must have made huge
rofits within the past few weeks merely
on tho movements of funds which at
tended the various phases of tho extra
guardship question, which has been the
greatest attraction throughout tho week.
European Control Alone Effective.
New Yoiik, Nov. 30. Tho Duke of
Westminister, according to a letter just
received by tho Armenian Relief Asso
ciation, ezya: "No eottlement of tbe
Armenian question can be deemed satis
factory which dooi not forever place be
yond the reach of their oppressors tho
remnant of the persecuted Christians in
Turkey. This can bo best done by
effective European control."
The duke has written to the Russian,
French, Austrian, German aud Italian
ambassadors begging them to aek their
respective governments to co-operate
with England.
