HAVANA , Cuba , Nov. 28. ( Special Cable
gram to the New York World Special Tele
gram. ) The trial of General Julio Sangullly
began today In tlio superior court. He Is
charged with aiding and abottlng a trsason-
nblo conspiracy against the government of
Spain , The case l unique In the Sp.inlsh-
Amcrlran possession , It bslng the first In
stance In which a political prisoner has not
been tried bj a mllltar/ court with closed
doors. This trial In opsn court , before a
bench ot civil judges , Is the result ot a
treaty made by Caleb dishing while minis
ter to Spain. Under It American citizens ,
not taken with arms In hand , cannot be
tiled by a military tribunal. No political
prisoner , Spanish or foreign , ever way triad
as SttnKUllly was put on trial today. Gen
eral Sangullly Is an American cltben , under
going trial before a civil court bcciuse the
United States , through the consular und dip
lomatic olHctnl In Havana , Mr. Williams , Ins
demanded compliance with Its treaty wltli
Spain. That treaty recognizes the right of
trial of Ameiican cltlzc.is by civil courts.
The military court convened by Genera
Callcja , whoso proceedings were stopped by
Mr. Williams' piotest , prepared tome evi
dence. That evidence was used by the of-
flclils In preparing the case for civil trial
Therefore , the proceedings today are held to
bo Invalid and opposed to the United States
treaty. I at-ked some of the beat lawyeis
hero what will bo the result. I was toll
that the court undoubtedly will convict , tha
the care will be appealed to the highest court
In Madrid , and that there will bo haste to
reach a final decision.
When court adjourned Sangullly shouted to
me : "Tell my friends In the United States
to be of good cheer. " Judgment will bo
icndeied In about ten days.

Lieutenant Gallejo , In command ot the tori
on the borders of tlio provinces ot Santa Clara
and Puerto Principe , has been besieged three
ilajs by A nuinbir of Insurgents 'Hie latter
Bcvcial times called upon the lieutenant to
sin render , but In siplto of the fact that th <
little garrison ot the fort was without water
the place was defended until relnforcaments
arrived , when the Insurgents , retreated. The
relieving column of troops , after provisioning
the fort , started In pursuit of the cnemj.
Alter four hours' -fighting the Insurgents
wore compelled to retieat with a loss of forty-
five killed and many wounded. Tlio troops
lout seven killed mid had nineteen wounded.
While operating against the Insurgents in
the Guantanlmo district of the province of
Santiago do Cuba the troops captured two
liioiiigent camps , the enemy leaving four
killed and eight wounded men In the handset
ot the soldiers.
The trhil of General Julio Sangullly , the
Cuban leader , who was arrested on February
21 , by Governor General Calleja , on the
clMtrge ot illegal acts against the Spanish
government , was commenced this afternoon.
General Sangullly has been confined In the
Culmnas fortress. There waa a great crowd
In the court room when the defendant was
brought In unmanacled , decently dressed and
escorted by several policemen After the
formalities upon the opening of the trial
bad been gone through with. General San-
gullly was called to the stand. In his testi
mony lie denied having made any appoint
ments with the Insurgent leaders , and also
denied having written letters to Dr. Hetan-
court of Matanzas , demanding funds to leave
with his family while he took the field In
the rebellion.
An expert In handwriting who was called
to the stand declared tlie writing In the doc-
umcntM referred to by the state's attorney
was the s 11110 os General Sangullly 'B. The
next witnesses were then examined , but
threw little light on the case.
The state's attorney , Senor Enguto , tlien
started upon his address , and gave his as-
miranco Hint he felt every day more assured
of the defendant's guilt. After a speech
lusting one hour he demanded of the court
the conviction of the general. The counsel
for the. defense , Senor Miguel Vrondl , was
listened to as ho arose and began to speak ,
amldbt the deepest sllenco In the court room.
He opened In the most vehement and elo
quent stjle , denying that there was any
ground for General Sangullly's conviction
Tlm stoto's attorney , Senor Vrondl said , was
in this case milled by his Spanish patriotic
feeling , and hla claim was not based upon
law. Ho pointed out Oiut the proceedings
wera being held under a martial Jurisdiction
and should accordingly bo considered void , as
It Is contrary to the provisions of the treaty
between Spain and the United States , which
guarantees to American citizens in Cuba trial

w re made In the Chamber of Deputies to-

Itllnn mlnlrtcr of foreign affairs , concerning
questions of Italy's Internal anil foreign pol
icy , and especially her attitude toward Tur
key , and Incidentally tha attitude of the
other powers.
Premier CrUpl's statement was a long one
and was largely devoted to the government1 *
Intcrnul policy He defended at length the
Italian anti-socialist laws , and ho assorted
tint In practice socialism differed lltllo from
anirthy. He admitted tb.it the public se
curity was not Ideal , but said It was Improv
ing. He said that although he formerly op-
possd the law of guarantee" , he now sup
ported It. This law , ho said , could nnt be
revoked without leading to Internal disorders
and foielgn complications The Vatican no\\
enjoyed great freedom The revival of Cath
olic activity throughout n great part of the
world , he argued , wag a matter for serious
consideration , showing that 1'bsrty ' existed
permitting religious societies to bo recon
structed on a more wild basis.
Regarding Turkey , the premier stated that
Ins powers are In accord , and hoas confi
dent tint the peace would not b2 disturbed
If It weio disturbed , however , Italj would
not repeat her oil mistakes and would sco
her rights sifegunrded
Ilaron Wins followed the premier with a
long explication of the Italian position on the
Turkish question He denied that Italy bad
jttomptcd any Isolated action on this ques
tion and nwertcd that her endeavors
throughout bad been devoted to converting
concerted acllnn by three powers Into con-
rprtcil act'on by six powers.Vhlle the
European situation was good , the minister
went on to say , the condition of nfflrs In
the Turkish provinces remained troubled
Tlio porte had addressed to tlie powers re
marks if , indeed , they might not bs called
ieproaohes hoping thereby to delay matters
at th r k of rguln aggravating ths situa
tion
"Iho porto will commit an error , " Baron
Illano concluded , "If It thlnky the pres nt
situation can bo solved by diplomatic discus
sions of past events , when we are face to
face with the atrocious deeds that have pro
voked unlveisal horror , and with the perl
of lat nt anarchy , to nn outbreak of whlcl
at any moment Italy cannot leave herself
exposed.
"Knch foreign sqindron In Turkish waters
was a door to open to civilization and benef

mixed i aces were vtlll deprived of the guar
antees promised by Turkey to Europe. The
porte would make a mistake In exercising

asked by the powers , the privilege accordei
to it by the treaties to restrict naval protec

Captain \ \ ' . Kerr , owner of the steamship
Latraila , which has also been under sus
picion. Immediately after the arrest of the
men , the Danish consul gave them a pri
vate hearing , when they emphatically denied
the charges.
United States District Attorney Graham
said"After learning what the Spanish con
sul had to say , I concluded that the cir-
ci'ir.stnnccs are such as not to warrant pro

WASHINGTON , Nov. 28 Secretary Hoko
Smith of the- Interior department has made
his annual report to the president. It re
views the varied work of the department ,
beginning with the Indian service and calls
attention to the- strict enforcement which
1m been given to civil service reform , both
as to those places covered by the classified
service and these to which the rules of this
estvlce do not apply.
The secretary dwells upon the necessity
of eliminating politics from the management
of Indian affairs and of conducting each res
ervation upon strictly business principles ,
the object being to make every Indian who
retrains upon the reservation self-support
ing and leady , as soon as possible , to as
sume the duties of citizenship and be freed
from the paternal care of the government.
The secretary Is of the opinion that If the re
sources of each reservation are treated Intel
ligently and the Indians required to labor
In those pursuits which are adapted to par
ticular retervatlons , In a few jears practi
cally all the Indians can bo made sslf-sup-
porting.
The secretary recommends the reoiganlzi-
tion of the bureau as follows :
1 That Instead of n single commissioner
of Indian affairs , the Indian service he
placed In charge of three commlbsloners.
two of them to he civilians to be appointed
from different political parties and one to
be a detailed army olllcer.
2 That the tenure of olllcc of .111 Indian
agent bo dependent upon the faithful dis
charge of his duties , and appointments and
removals be made b > the president upon
the lecommendntlon of the three commis
sioners of Indian affairs
3 That the c'assltled sen Ice bo extended
over nil the subordinate positions , both u
the agencies and at the tcliools.
The reduction of 20 per cent which the
law required to be iuads In connection vvltl
t'io Indian contiact schools had been strictly
carried out , and the secretary adds tint
there seems to bo no reason why such re
duction should not continue from 3 car to jear
until the system of government aid to the
fcutarlan schools shall terminate.
CHANGES IN ALLOTMENTS.
Referring to the subject of allotments
the secretary sa > s there are a number o ;
chtrges which should be made In the pres
ent allotment system , which requlie con
gressional action. According to the presu.i
law an Indian becomes a citizen of the Unlt"i
States upon receiving his allotment. In any
case , he Is ready to receive land beforit he
la prepared for the cons3quences of cltlzen-
tlilp Allotments should be- made long be
fore rchervatlons are opened. Each Indian
should bo pcttl'd upon his homestead and be
self-supporting before citizenship Is con
ferred upon him. When cltl/enshlp Is con
ferred the government aught to let him alone
and allow him to take his place , fcurround-
Ing htm with no more * restraint and giving
him no more help than Is accorded to otlie.
citizens.
Under the present system , Indians to
whom allotments have been made and upon
whom citizenship has been conferred still
recelv'e enormous gratuities and need every
dollar they receive.
Upon each reservation a part of the In-
dlnns will bo ready for citizenship befoie
otheis and all are ready to own land and
work It before they aie leady for cltben-
s ilp The law should be changed so that
allotment can be made upon the recom-
mcnditlon of the agent to those who aio
ready for it and patents should be issued
later , with the approval of the secretary of
the Interior , to those Indians showing them
selves fitted to receive the lands so assigned.
The secretaiy also recommends that gen
eral authority , with the approval of the presi
dent , be given to the Indian bureau to sell
parts of Indian reservations , the money to
b * used exclusively In the improvement of
allotted lands or for the- purpose of furnlsh-
Irg agricultural Implements and cattle to
the Indians who may reside upon the remain
ing lands.
Iloferrlng to the Uncompoghre reservation ,
the secictary calls attention to the fact
that through the geological survey an ex
amination has been made of the gllsonlte
beds , which seem to bs of very great value ,
and ho recommends legislation which will
allow these deposits to be sold or leased
to the highest blddei.
The report reviews the Jackron Hoi ? dis
turbances and gives an account of the act
ive means taken by the department to se
cure justice for the killing of the Ilannock
Indians on July IS last , and also to pre
serve1 peace between the Indians and the
whites. He commends the peaceful course
of the Indians under circumstances so ex-
tren.ely aggravating on the pirt of I he-
whites.
IICI'OHT OF DAWES COMMISSION.
The secretary presents a copy of the re
port of the Uawes commission , which rec
ommends ,
1 , A tenltorlnl government over the five
civilized trlbeH , adapted to their peculiarly
anomalous conditions , HO framed an to Ke-
cure all rights of residents In the same , and
without Impairing the vested rights at the
citizens , Indian ot other purHon , not an In
truder.
J. The extension of the Jurisdiction of the
United States oourtH In the territory , both
in law and cciulty , to hear and dutcimlnc
all contioverHles and suits ot any nature
concerning all right In 01 use and occupation
of trlbul lands of the Heveial nations , to
which any citizen , Indian or any other per
son , or the trlbil goveinmem of any na
tion Is or may bo made a paity plaintiff
or defendant.
Referring to the law work of the assistant
attorney general's olllce and of the general
land office , the secretary again urges the
Importance of creating a board of principal
examiners , both In the secretary's olllcs and
the land olllce , to whom may be referred
such classes of cases as the secretary and
ttio commissioner may deem advisable , The
effect of this board would be to hasten the
settlements of land titles and to leave both
the Bccietary and the commissioner of the
general land office freer for the performance
of their varied administrative duties.
The report estimates the amount of public
lands undlepoecd of to bo about 00,000,000
acres at the close of the fiscal year , and
ehows that the total receipts during the
> ear from public lands amounted to over
(2,000,000. ( The unadjusted land grants to
railroads amount to nearly. 90,000,000 acres.
After reviewing In detail the work of the
land o 111 co during the post twelve months
the secretary takes up the question of the
Deposition of the arid lands and the preser
vation of the forests. He urges that these
two questions are clobely allied , for the
quantity of arid lands far exceeds the pres
ent water supply , even If It were all utilized
for Irrigation. The Increase of the water
supply must -depend upon the growth and
ireeervatlon of the forests.
rAiLunn or THE CAnuv HILL.
Attention IB called to the failure of the
Carey bill to accomplish the results cx-
iccted. The secretary attributes this to
he fact that the bill Intended that money
'or ' Irrigation should be raised upon the
arid lands given to the etatei. This hag
> een Impossible , on account of the fact that
sufficient control over the lands was not
given to the states to make them available
as security for the money expended In their
reclamation.
The secretary suggest ! the advisability of
patenting thcee lands to the atatei after It
a fully determined that the selections made
> y them under the Carey act are arid lands.
Ho call * attention to the fact that the rcx > r-
volr tiles selected by the geological survey
emaln without proper legislation providing
or their ufce , while the water they were
xpected to store Is being diverted to les
practicable and economical tiles , He sug
gests the utilization of these sites In con-
nectlon with the lands granted to the states
under the Carey act.
Under the pabjcct of forests , tlie secretary
calls attention to the fsct that 17,000.000
ncres are now Included within Inlcit reserves ,
the object being to thus pre-s-rve the forests' '
for future use and , through their preservation ,
to control the supply of water § o that It maybe
bo stored and utilized for Irrigation. The
present force of the general land ofllce , It Is
raid , Is Inadequate to protect these reserva
tions. Unless some plan Is .devised by con
gress for protection of the forests , either by
the army or by foresters living upon the
reservation , It Is manifest that the object
fought to bf accompllrbed II fall ,
The secretary criticises the law authorizing
the Issue of permits for the cutting of tlm-
bcr from the public domain , and urges that
the timber cut therefrom sh iiild bo cold for
a sufficient sum to make It 'pofslblo ' to pre
serve the standing forest aftl tee that cut
ting Is done In a way not te > ! tructlvo to It.
The review of the pension office consist"
chiefly of statistical Information furnished
by that bureau. i
I10NU AIDED UAIUJOADS.
One of the Interesting features of the
report Is the discussion of the relations be
tween the government and t"ic 1'aclflc bond-
atded roads , and of the possblllty ot collectIng -
Ing the amount due the glVrrnment from
thei'e roads. The report iirges that two
things are to be considered : ( 'First , the col
lection of the debt due the government , and
second , the creation of n grrit through line
from the Missouri to the Partite , which was
the original puiporo of the government leadIng -
Ing to the Isyuo of subsidy bonds. "
The report shows In detftll the amount of
the subsidy bon'df , the amWnt of Interest
which the government has paid on them am'
the amount of the first mortgage bonds. The
secretary EBJS the ( jovcrnient Is alread >
out $117,430,000 upon these .roads , and that
the first mortgage bonds only amount to
$64,013,000 ; that the property Is worth vastly
more than the llrpt mortgage bonds , and that
the government Interests caj | be protected ,
If necessary , by taking up these bonds. He
says all of these bonds nrcj now maturing
and draw 0 per cent ; that tjily could easily
be replaced with a 3 per cert bond , If the
government guaranteed them * and as the
government holds a second cn and musl
protect the propetty against the first Hen ,
the government should see tout It any new
set of bonds are Issued that the first mort
gage bonds draw no higher rite ot interest
than government bonds' would iraw.
EARNED ENOUGH TO PAY\INTEREST. \
The secretary sajs the net earnings of each
one of UICPO lines during the , inst ten jcara
have made an average of neaily 0 per cenl
on tha sum of the first mortgs e bonds and
of the government subsidy boqds , and sug
gests the possibility ot a new issue of bonds ,
guaranteed by the government , drawing S
per cent , equal In amount to ibe first mort
gage bonds and the subsidy blinds , with the
Interest on the same , as the itisd could eas
ily earn the Intelest on thipe bonds and
leave a handsome surplus. Cafltallbts should
be found who would buy the'hiroperty , sub
ject to the bonds , and pay a.fair sum Into the
treasury each year towards their liquida
tion. ,
Tha secretary discusses the saheme of the
government directors and also"of the reor

and finally urg" * tnat the goviHment , being

WASHINGTON , Nov. 28 Iifcluded In the
report of the secretary of the i terlor la that
of the Dawes commission to tbi five civilized
tribes The secretary refers to the report of
the- commission and briefly gives Its conclu
sion. In the correspondence'isia letter from
President Cleveland to Sectary Smith ,
which was a part of the instructions to the
commission. 1
The president said : "As thcfcommlsslonerB
to negotiate nnd treat with the five civilized
tribes of Indians are abdut U resume tlieli
work , my Interest In the wor't ' they have In
charge Induces me to write you a few words
concerning their work.
"As I said to the commissioners when
they were first appointed , I aln especially de
sirous that there tliall be no reason , In all
time to come , to charge the commission with
any unfair dealings with the Indians , and that
whatever the result of their'efforts may be
the Indians may not bo | ed Into , any action
which they do not clearly .understand , or
which Is not clearly for thelrfhenefit. At the
same time' I still believe , as I Always have be
lieved , that the best interest * of the Indians
will be found In American citizenship , with
all the rights and privilege-Hiwhich ; belong to
that condition. The approach to this relation
should be carefully made , mid at every step
the good and welfare of tht * Indians should
constantly be kept In view , 10 that when the
end IB reached citizenship way be to thfm a
real advantage Instead of un empty name.
I hope the commission will inspire such con
fidence in those with whom they are to deal
that they will lie- listened ) o. and that the
Indians will sen the wlcdore cf moving In the
direction I have Indicated. It they are un
willing to go Immediately BO. far as MO think
desirable , whatever steps art ! taken should be
such as point out the \\uyand the result of
which will errourago thosepeople } In further
progress.
"A clew movement of OiH kind , fully un
derstood and approved by the Indians' ' , la In
finitely better than swifter results gained
by broken pledges und falej promises. "
The commission , In repoitlng Its failure
to negotiate with the Immtie1 , toys that tlie
conditions have grown v.onu Instead of bet
ter since the last report. Attention In In-
vltsd to the fact that fouisilfths of the popu
lation of the Indian Territory , amounting to
300,000 people , have nq cfylzerislilp , and yet
are largely icsponslble fojitha prosperity of
the Indians and development of tlm country.
They are not Intruders , bit are Invltsd under
the laws of the BJveraTiclbca. . These men
have built homes on Indian lands , made prop
erly valuable , nave clilldr n of a school age ,
and jet are compelled t educate them at
private Institutions , thoich 'subservient to
the Indian laws.
In Its conclusion the 'commission ' says *
"Thero Is no altcrnillve tleft to the United
States but to assume the responsibility for
future conditions In thltyte/rltbry , Insecuilty
of life- and person and prcpotiy Is Increasing
every day , and makes Immediate- action Im
perative , The pretense , that Ibo government
is debarred by treaty oblH-atlons from Inter
ference In the present condition of affairs In
this territory Is without foundation.
"Tho commission Is compelled by the evi
dence forced upon It during its examination
Into the condition of the ? o-called govern
ments In thlo territory to report that these
governments In their branches are wholly cor
rupt and Irresponsible , t
"It Is , In the judgmentof the commission ,
the Imperative duty of fongrcsa to assume
at once present control ofT&e Indian Terri
tory. They have como with great reluctance
to this conclusion , and have rought by all
methods that might reach ( he convictions
of those holding power lirtlio territory to In
duce them by negotiation ! and mutual agree
ment to consent to a satisfactory change In
their pyttom of government and approprla-

COLUMBUS , 0. , Nov. 28. Secretary Pat
rick Mcllrjde has nddr.8 < ed an open letter
to the coal operators of Ohio which will beef
of Interest all over the country , It having
reference to the meeting of presidents to
be held here tomorrow , when the demands
of the miners for cash pajments Instead of
orders on company stores will bo consldeied.
He begins by stating that on ths results of
the deliberations of the committee of opera-
trrs depends the peace and trantUllllt ] > not
only of Ohio , but perhaps of the entire coun
try.
try.The
The price for mining Is based on a contract
which provides that the price paid In Hock
ing valley , In Ohio , shall beCl cents , bised
on a CO-cent rats In the Plttsburg thin vein ,
and that any change In the latter must be
met by a corresponding change In the Ohio
rate. This differential Is claimed to be the
Important part ot the agreement entcml Into
this summer , and under It the miners base
their claims for the cash late.
The letter reviews the dlffcrJiit disputes
by the contending Interests covering a pe
riod of eight jears , and points out that dur
ing that time the differential has always
been adhered to. The circumstances of the
long strike of 1895 and the final surrender
by the miners were also reviewed and the
fact that the differential was sustained Is
persistently pointed out.
DUMORALIZATION CONTINUHD.
It appsars that the demorallzitlon In the
Plttsburg district of last joir continued after
the general suspension was over , and when
In Februarj the miners found that fact out
a strike of twelve weeks followed , but which
ended In the defeat of the mlner It Is
well known that during this strike the Pltts
burg operators demanded that the differential
be wiped out. The cause of the establlsh-
mnt of the differential was the Inter
state commerce act , which made it Impostl-
blo for one district to successfully compete
with another situated nearer the market ,
owing to the difference In the cost of pro
duction. In self-preservation the miners In
sisted on this plan and biibseiiuent results
have proven the correctness of their reason
ing
Since 1SS7 , up to last October , the oper
ators of the Plttsburg district , with three
exceptions , had stores , or deducted from
the miners' earnings for stores. The condi
tion In Ohio today Is the tame as In 18S7.
So that the differential was established with
the stores in the Plttsburg district In exist
ence , and so long as there is a price In
Plttsburg that .Is deducted for stores , just
so long should there be a differential of 9
cents based on that price.
EVIL IN THE STORES.
The demoralbatlon that his existed In
ithOjjPlttsburg district for she last few yeari
Kit , h ad an Injurious effect en the mlners of
Ohio and anything that tends to glvo sta
bility to the Plttsburg trade ought to be
encouraged. The evil was found to be In
thei stores , this being Admitted by all con
cerned , and there could be no stability until
the store evil was removed.
The Plttsburg miners agreed to allow 5
cents per ton between mines having stores
and these not having stores , and In doing
tlihi the bisls between the two states was
not changed , as the establishment of a cash
basts more than equaled the 5 cents Ohio ,
under Us present condition , Is now paling a
C5-cent rule and PHUburg 64 cents. There
fore the differential Is still maintained.
The recent decision of Judge Little ae
arbitrator is reviewed. They disagree with
the finding , but gracefully submit. The
point , however , Is that Ohio operators who
have stores do not come within the finding
of Judge Little , which sustained the exist
ing rates , and the ) ask that the differential
ot 6 cents be allowed between Ohio mines
having store ? and those having none.
It lu generally believed that there Is more
resting on the decision than appears on the
surface , but an expression could not be ob
tained from the mine ofllcers.

CHICAGO , Nov. 28. John J. Ingalls of
Kansas has added a cluptcr to tbc hlttory
of Garfleld's nomination , a history that Sena
tor Sherman's book Is drawing from the lips
of American statesmen and politicians. When
asked if he had any personal recollections of
Incidents connected with flic Garfleld episode ,
Mr. Ingalls said : "I happened to be in Wash
ington on business when Garfleld died , In
September , 1881 , and was one of the- senators
named to accompany the remains to Clove-
land. Mr. Sherman was also a member of
the committee and tlif train had hardly left
the city limits before we fell Into conversa
tion about the dead president , his character ,
and his career. Mr , Sherman spoke with In
tense feeling , and the Impression left on my
mind was that ho believed that he had been
betrayed by the man chosen to advocate his
nomination.
"I was In college with aarfield , " said Mr.
Ingallx , "though not In the same class , and
our rela'lons were cordial and friendly until
his death. He was Incapable of Intrigue ,
trf-awn or stratagem , but his temperament
was cordial and ardent and his sensibility
was excessive. His mind was capacious , and
his nature generous nnd sincere , Ths fatal
defect In bis character was an Infirmity of
purpose that made him like clay In the handset
ot tlio potter and disqualified him for ad
ministrative or executive functions. '

American Hoard ot Control for rorelgn mis
sions. Their absence has covered a spnce ol
twenty-seven years nnd 10 roon as affairs
In the disturbed dl trct ! Ime quieted down
they will return to Turkey. The Ml sn Elj
were Rtitloned at Hlttlls , about flftj-flvo
miles from Moosli , where the intiH horrible
of the atrocities occurred. .At'Hlttlls there
was no wholesale murdering , but man )
prominent Armenian merchants were thrown
Into jail on false. flccn ° Ulnis , nnd some less
Illustrious victims never siw the light ol
day again after they had once entered the
prison walls they were secretly made away
with The vail , or provincial governor , of
Hlttlls nt that tlnif was Tjli'ln P sln , who
Is known among the missionaries as "the
riend " He It was who made the threat that
he would sow the place where the city ol
Hlttlls was with grain According to the
Misses Elj the Armenians were Imprisoned
because they would not sign a paper saving
the English consul and American mission
aries had Incited the Armenians to rebel.
Speaking of the Sassoun massacres , a large
part of which occurred near Moosh , Miss
Mary El > snld "The nnssacrcs was un
doubtedly planned by the porte. The Im
mediate provocation came about as follows.
The Kurds were In the habit of raiding the
flocks of the Armenians. The Arincnltne ,
Impoverished bj repeated robberies , banded
together for the put pose of recovering their
flocks from the Kurds. When the two
piitles met , of course there was fighting
Two Modems were killed and several Chrls-
tlane. Then the Kurds mutilated the bodies
of their shin cotmtijinen After Hint , the
corpses were carried to the headquarters
of the provincial government at Hlttlls and
showed to Vnll Tahsln.
" 'Sco what the Christians are doing to us ,
they exclaimed to the vail"
Miss Elv said tint after the first conflict ,
a wiles of tetallaicry conflicts tcok place.
Tint was a > ear ago last August. Soon
afterwards , Tahfdn Pasha went in person to
Gallgozan and ordcre-d the massacre of the
Arnvnlan Chrlstlins. He wore , suspended
by a cord aiound his neck an Impcilal edict
from the poitc , commanding him to "chas-
tite" the Christians. This was read to the
Turkish soldiers , who had been massed at
that place from all that part ot Atla Minor.
Heforp the reading was completed , con
tinued Miss Ely. as If unabl todelav tlio
diabolical deed , Tah ln Pasha gave the order
to 'smite' the Christians. Then follow od n
cene almost too awful to describe , so ter
rible were the orders given by th ? olllcers
that some of the better ones among the com
mon soldiers begged that they be not com
pelled to carry them out. Others actually
refbsed to execute such barbarous commands ,
and were told If they did not obey ciders
they would be shot from the cannon's mouth
"Somo of the good soldlcis. however , pro
tected Armenian children , hiding them In
fields of grain and among the rocks In the
mountain ! ' . "
The returned mlsslonarUs , say It was liard
to pick" specific Instances out of such an In
ferno of cruelty , but mentioned the follow
ing. "Tlio boldlers would toss children up
Into the air and catch them on tlieli bajonets
when they came down. At other times they
would stand a number ot childien In a row ,
each Turk would take a child by the hair
md they would SEQ whlcli one could cut his
-vIciliiUs-liead eft thcqulko t JiVben Tjhsjn
Paslui started out on his mission of butchery ,
he took along with him a huge quantity of
kerosene ell , for the purpose of removing
by fire nil vestige of the dreadful work
which he contemplated. This : oil was after
ward used to saturate the clothing of liv
ing beings and ttien the match would bo ap
plied. "
At this point Miss Clmrlotto Ely remarked
"I saw one boy with the whole side of his
face burned away. He told me ho ha.1 been
attacked by the Turks nnd then thrown on
a heap of coals , being left for dead. "
Miss Ely was asked about the treatment
of Armenian women by the soldiers.
"The violation of v omen and girls by the
Turks was one of the commonest and ono
ot the worst features of the whole 'norrlble
affair. Jn one instance scores of them were
shut up in a church and kept there all night
by the boldlers. In the morning they wore
all murdered. One witness told me that he
saw the blood flow over the threshold of the
building. " _

NEW YORK. Nov 2S. Mrs , Madeline Cole
of South Kensington , London , who Is treas
urer of the Woman's Armenian Relief asso
ciation in England , has communicated to the
Ameiican Relief association here distressing
nes from Van , Armen'a. The suffering de
scribed has been witnessed by her corrA-
sroi'dent , who has been visiting during the
past few months eight of the fifteen districts
of the Van vlllayet , or division , and three
of the districts of Ulttlls vlllayet , and In
doing EO covered nearly COO miles on horse
back. The correspondent says ;
"We visited the districts known as IIoke ,
Ktvash , Spargerd , Khewn and Gargar. the
last three bslng In the Hlttlls villnyet. Hokes
Is n very mountainous section to the noulh
of Van , containing eighty-nix villages , with a
total of 1,010 families , of which COO are still
Christians. The narrow valley Is occupied
by as many as fifty Kurdish boys ( feudil
chiefs ) nnd twenty aghas ( petty lords ) , to
say nothing of their hoide of letalners. The
Anrenlans are worse than slaves , for they
nro denied even the ordinary rights of hu
manity. Spargerd lies duo west of Hokca
On arrival there we were Informed that we

The signs of Joy manifested at our coming
were unmistakable. Some oven shed tears
of joy at seeing UP. The poor , half inked
children , catching the contagion of their
parents' happiness , danced about us In glee
Women prayed where they stood and re\er-
pntly made the sign of the cross.
"In the high valleys the crops are very
scciity and do not at nil sulllco the people
foj winter us ? , so It hse been the custom of
mrny of them to disperse during the winter
and earn what they could In the cities on
the southern plains In Persia and In Can-
casus. Hut for three years the government

have been collected by such methods of tnr-
tur ? as would tax the western mind to Im
agine. The money demanded for taxes must
be paid , the only alternative bolng death , or
what Is worse , Imprisonment In a Turklch
hell. In vain does the despalilng plead for
mercy ; In vain are the tears and entreaties
of the mothers and children. They ara only
artwered by cruel blows and rinses. The
sad truth Is that this part of Armenia was
never In a worse condition , In the city a
very thin veneer of better things Is to be
seen , but In all the villages , and especially
In all the outlying dlstilcts , the villainous
process of exterminating the Christians IB
going on at a frightful rat * . A long cold
