Kef using to Cheer the Kaiser
New Prussian Minister.
Washington, Dec. H. The Turkish
legation has received the following official
communication : "Armenian agitators
who made their appearance in the steep
mountains of Talouri, situated between
Sassoum, in the southwest of Moush,
(Vilayet of Biths), and the district Calb,
of Mutessarial, of Guendji, combined
their forces at the instigation of a certain
Hampartzoum, who, under the assumed
name of Mourat, was already giving
trouble in these regions. This Ham
partzoum after having eight years
studied medicine in a civil school, and
participated in the disorders of Coup
Capon, fled to Athens and thence to
Genoa. He after went disguised and
again under an assumed name by way
of Alexandrie from Darkbro to the
neighborhood of Bitlie, and he began
seditious agitation, together with five
other individuals. He has given positive
assurances to the credulous people that
he was a foreign agent backed by all the
European powers in his plans to upset
the Turkish authorities. He succeeded
thus in gaining to his criminal ends Ar
menians of the villages of Siner, Simal,
Gulli, Guzat, Ahi, Hedenk, Sinank,
Chemnd, Elffard, Moussone, Etek, Akd
jerk: as well as those of the small bor
ough of Talouri, comprising four districts.
Now these insurgents under command of
"Hampartzouru. abandoning, toward the
latter part of July last, their respective
villages,, and having placed in inaccessi
ble spots their wives, children and be
longings, and secured the co-operation of
other Armenian insurgents that came
from the valley of Moush and from
Casar, of Calb and Selvan, assembled to
gether, numbering more than 3,000, at a
place called Endouk-Dagh. Five or six
hundred decided to fall upon Moush.
They begrin by attacking the tribe of
Delikaus, in Mount Corlink, in the south
of Moush, killed a few of them and
robbed them of their belongings. All
the Mussulmans that fell into their
hands were insulted in . their religion
and murdered in a most horrible fashion.
Regular troops in the neighborhood of
Moush were also attacked by these in
surgents, who, however, did not dare to
attack Moush itself, owing to the strong
military forces of the town. The rebels,
together with other rebels, assembled at
Endouk-Dagh, organized and then
separated and assaulted furiously the
tribes close at hand, committing horri
ble crimes and "depredations. They
burned alive a nephew of Eumer Agha,
and assaulted and murdered Musselman
-women of three houses in the village of
- Gaulli Guzet. They also tortured many
Musselmans, forcing them to kiss the
cross, putting their eyes out, cutting
their ears .off and submitting them to
the most horrible indignities. After
having brought consternation and death
among Musselman and Christian alike,
they refused to surrender, and continued
their criminal proceedings. The regular
troops were sent to the spot to put down
their rebellion. Chief Hampartzoum
fled to a high mountain with 11 asso
ciates. He was captured aliye, but not
without killing two soldiers and wound-
ing six. By the end of August all the
insurgent band were disp.ersed. Women,
children and invalids were treated with
due consideration, and according to the
dictates of Islamism and humanity.
The insurgents who were captured will
be punished by law."
London, Dec. 11. The Daily Xewa to
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
day publishes a three-column letter from
Constantinople. The writer says from
all the evidence he has been able to
gather in regard to the number killed
and the villages destroyed the Armenian
outrages cannot be compared with thoBe
of Bulgaria. The Kurds believe the gov
ernment approves of the outrages, and
unless they are dealt with as a Canadian
or American would deal with the red
Indians, under similar circumstances,
they are incapable of understanding to
the contrary. ..If Great ; Britain - and
Russia jointly insist on reforms there
will be a chance of success, because in
case of need they can compel attention.
The German Reichstag.
Berlin, Dec. 11. The reichstag was
crowded today in expectation of seeing
exciting scenes over the motion of Chan
cellor Hobenlohe to prosecute the social
ists who refused 'to respond to the presi
dent's call for cheers for the kaiser last
Thursday. President von Levetzow
opened the sitting and read the petition
of the public prosecutor for the prosecu
tion of the offending deputies. ' The pe
tition was referred. Chancellor Hohen
lohe then rose and read the budget
statement. After intimating that he
would not follow in all things in the way
of bis predecessors, he dwelt upon the
necessity for finance reform and a rear
rangement of the relations between the
empire and individual states, and ex
panded the ideas set forth by the' em
peror in his speech. He concluded by
calling attention to the necessity of
strengthening the common laws against
movements designed to undermine the
authority of the state.
The Situation Uecominjf Critical.
London, Dec. 11. The Globe this
afternoon prints a letter from a British
resident of China, who. occupies a posi
tion which brings him in touch with
the mandarins and masses. He says :
"A tragedy may occur any day, and
when the Japanese come in sight of the
capital I feel certain every foreigner will
be massacred. The foreign ministers
will incur a perfectly insane risk if they
remain there after ice has- closed the
port of Tien-Tsin. The greatest danger
is in the fact that nearly all the soldiers
are members of a secret society, which
is ready to breakout at the firstcliance."

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure n all its stages and hat is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con
stitutional disease, requires a constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda
tion of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the consti
tution and assisting nature to do its
work.. The proprietors have eo much
faith in its cultivative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
