THE ARMENIAN BUTCHERY.
The stories of the massacre aud un?
speakable outrages in Armenia have
c ;u.-eii a .-fixation in Europe approach?
ing t a attending the Bulgarian atro
I city ol 1876, which preceded the Rus
so-Turkish war. The accounts of whole?
sale slaughter and fearful atrocities
made public Saturday will assuredly
arouse the British government to pro?
test, and in demanding a complete re?
versal of the Turkish policy toward a
helpless race of Christians.
The details of some of the massacres
are so revolting that if they were not
overwhelmingly confirmed they would
be rejected as iDcredible, even among
the most savage races on earth. It is
understood Lord Kimberly is preparing
a remonstrance, which will be tele?
graphed at once to Constantinople, and
be presented to the Sultan in such
terms as to bring the matter to an im
mediate crisis.
The troubles that led to these crown?
ing outrages began with the Armenians'
refusal to pay taxes on the plea that the
frequent Turkish raids had impover?
ished them. A few troops sent to col?
lect the taxes were beateu.
At almost the same time there was a
Kurdish raid on Armenian cattle, re?
sulting in a light in which two Kurd3
were killed. The friends of the Kurds
took the corpses to Moush and de?
clared that the Amenians had overrun
the land and were killing and plunder?
ing right and left.
The Governor of Hitlis, Asiatic Tur?
key, reported to the Porte that a se?
rious revolt had broken out and obtain?
ed permission to send all obtainable
troops to the scene.
Marshal Zeiki Pasha, commander of
the army corps stationed at Erzingen,
was ordered to proceed thither aud di?
rect operations. The Governor ar?
rived first, however, and before an im?
posing array of regulars the Armenians
quietly submitted.
Then came the horrible part of the
story. The Governor of Bitlis resolved
to make an example in order to pre?
vent a repetition of the revolt. He or?
dered the troops to fire upon the de?
fenseless people. The order was obey?
ed with alacrity. The soldiers only
rested when 25 villages had been de?
stroyed and 6,000 to 10,000 inhabitants
killed.
No compasti m was shown to age or
sex, not even whou the victims fell sup?
pliant at their feet. All met such fate
as even the darkest ages of darkest Af?
rica hardly witnessed. Womau
hnod and innocence were but a
mockery before the soldiers' cruel
lust, that ended its debauchery
by stabbing women to death with the
bayonet. Tender babies were impaled
with the same weapon on the dead
mother's breast or perhaps seized by the
hair to have their heads lopped off with
the sword.
In one place 300 or 400 women, after
being forced to serve vile purposes by
the merciless soldiers, were backed to
pieces by sword and bayonet in the
valky. In another place some 200 weep
ing aud wailing wonn-u begged for com?
passion, falling at the commander's
j feet. Bui the blood-thirsty wretch,
! ufte; r leri ig their violation, directed
his soldiers to dispatch them in a similar
way.
In another pl.tcesome 60 young brides
and the more attractive girls were
crowded into a church, and after viola?
tion were slaughtered, the blood flowing
from the church door.
At stiii another place a large com
[ pnuy, under tbe lead of their high priest,
fell down before them, begging for com?
passion and averting that they had
nothing to do with the culprits. The
proposal was made to several of the
more attractive women to change their
faith, in which case their lives were to
be spared. They said :
"Why should we deny Christ ? We
are no more than these," pointing to
the mangled forms of their husbands
and brothers. "Kill us too !" And it
was done.
A great effort was made to save one
beauty, but three or four quarreled
over her and she sank down like her
sisters.
On the admissions of Turkish sol?
diers, some of whom tearfully protest?
ed that they merely obeyed orders, at
least 6000 people were killed. Several
soldiers admitted that they had dis?
posed of a hundred victims each. Some
families were burned with kerosene in
their own houses.
Mr. Hall ward, the British consul at
Van, went to the scene and reported
to the British ambassador at Constanti?
nople, who protested to the Porte. The
Sultan expressed horror at the crime,
aud ordered an immediate report from
Marshal Zi-ki, which appears to have
seriously iuvoived the Governor of
i Bitlis. The latter, in self-defense, and
as a means of obtaining revenge, for
\ mulated the grave charge against Mr.
Hall ward of having incited the Arme?
nians to revolt. The matter is being
investigated by British officials.
The Sultan has decided to send a
commission composed of three mem?
bers oi his military household and one
civilian to Sassoun for the purpose of
making an impartial inquiry into the
j outrages on Armenians. The latest
I news is to the effect that many of tbe
Armenians who were supposed to have
been killed fled from the soldiers and
I are now returning.
