li'rngmonts o tho story of tho
sieco ot Zoitoun hnvo reached
London, snys n correspondent of
tho Xow xork Sun. JLho bravo
and bloody record, full of tho
most oxtrnordiuary incidents, re
minds one of tho sicgo of Luck
now. It is almost a plcnsuro to
noto tho fact that in tho course of
tho investment fully (J00O Turks
woro killed, wliilo only nbout 150
Annonians lost their lives in tho
various engagements. Twice tho
women of Zoitoun saved tho city.
News of tho approaching attack
readied tho town sovornl days bo
foro tho troops arrived, ltofugoes
poured in from surrounding coun
try and villages, saying that tho
Turks woro coming, and that a
massacro had boon ordorcd. It
was determined to defend tho city
at all costs. Tho representatives
of Turkish authority thoro woro a v
Governor with about sixty-iivo
guards in tho city itself and a gar- f.
risou of 250 mou in a stroug fort u
overlooking tho town. It was i
necessary to capture this fort bo- 7
foro it should fall into tho hands
of tho coming invaders. Tho
Armoniaus first polluted tho water (
supply of tho garrison with potro
loum, and a day or two later at
tacked tho place. Thero was al
most continuous fighting for lifty
six hours, and thou tho garrison
6urrondored.
Moantimo all tho ablo-bodied
111011 of Zoitoun woro engaged in
fortifying tho approaches to tho
town. Tho women alone woro left
bohind, for tho Govoruor's guards
weroso fow in number it was not
considered possiblo that thoy
would attempt hostilities against
a city of raoro than 100,000 peoplo.
In tho absence of all the inon,
however, thoy attomptod to firo
tho city. Tho woinon defeated
tho plot. They armed thomsolves
i
with knives and axes, quickly
ovorpowerod tho guards and ex
tinguished tho ilamos, which had
already appeared in two or threo
places.
When tho fort had fallen tho
garrison woro hold as prisonora
in tho Governor's quarters, whoro
thoy woro guarded most of tho
time. Tho siego soon bogan
in oarnost, howovor, and every
man and boy was pressed into tho
work of dofenso. Tho besiegors
numbered more than 70,000 men,
half of thorn regular troops and
tho rest 13ashi bazouks. Thoy at
tempted to carry tho defenses by
assault, but tho position of Zoi
toun is almost impregnable, and
tho defenders, wliilo thomsolves
well protected, woro ablo to iuilict
groat slaughter upon tho enemy.
During this great battlo, whou
Zoitoun itself was again deserted
by all, except women and children,
tho 250 prisoners in tho Gov
ernor's quarters broko looso. Thoy
again attempted to firo tho city.
Again tho women of Zoitoun
arose, and this time thoy did not
stay their hands. Thoy slow
eyory one of tho 250 and cast thoir
corpses ovor a cliff 800 feet high
at ono side of the town.
finally tho Turks bombarded
tho town, and nearly 2000 sholls
foil in tho city, but without doing
groat damage. About 1200 of tho
missiles foil upon tho mud walls
or roofs of tho. houses and failod
to explode Tho womou fearlessly
opened these shollB and omptied
thorn of powdor and shot, of which
tho Zoitoulis woro in groat need.
"Tho sholling of tho town was a
great blessing to us," thoy Bay
Bimply in alluding to tho incident.
When very hard prosscd tho
Zoitouulis tried to negotiato torniB
of surrondor, and tho reply of the
Turkish commander was: "Sur
rondor at once and wo will sparo
two in ovory ton wait ono day
and wo wilLhavo tho lifo of overy
man, woman and child."
Naturally those terms woro not
accepted, and the city hold out
until tho intervention of tho
