NEWS FROM HAWAII.
England Is Determined That Exiled Ash-
ford Shall Go Back.
SAN FRANCISCO, J une 12.—The steamer
Australia from Honolulu today brings
confirmation of the news concerning the
demand made by Great Britain that Vol-
ney Ashfold be permitted to return to Ha-
waii. The Dole government is very much
excited over the report, but the president
of the little republic is pursuing a conserv-
ative course in den ing with the matter.
The news of England’s demand originated
in Washington and was forwarded in pri-
vate correspondence to a Hawaiian pa—
per and several private concerns. The sit
uation is said to be that Great Britain has
made a rather sharp demand upon the gov-
ernment on behalf of Colonel V. V. Ash-
ford. The “request” is stated as the sug-
gestion in diplomatic sentences that a par-
don issue to Ashford, and that he be per-
mitted to return to Hawaii without condi-
tions of any sort.
It is stated by the Honolulu Star that
the republic declines to accept the British
foreign Oflice’s view of this case, refuses to
grant the pardon or remove the ban and
adds thatif Colonel Ashford is landed un-
der British or other auspices or protection
until there has been an extended and com-
plete review of the case the action will be
at least protested. .
There is a likelihood of Hawaii calling
upon the United States to extend its good
ofiices in the dispute.
Colonel Ashfcrd was convicted by the
military commission of misprison of tree-
son. The evidence was that he had ad-
vance knowledge of the outbreak. His
sentence was imprisonment‘for a year and
a fine of $1,000. He was then ill and is
still a sick man. After a few weeks “on
the reef” the man who had once been
prominent and honored in Hawaii was
given suspension of fine and imprison-
ment on condition that he leave the coun-
try never to return. It was then quite
generally understood that after a reason-
able lapse of time he would be allowed to
come back on making proper request.
In letters to Hawaii on British subjects
mixed up in the revolution and tried, the
queen’s foreign ofi'ice gave the opinion
that court martial was unconstitutional.
but that there would be no objection to
any of the cases except Ashford’s. It was
claimed that the evidence against him was
insufficient. Colonel Alhford has fol-
lowed up this point. The understanding
Is that the Hawaiian minister of foreign
affairs is preparing an answer to the “re-
quest." .
The Meteor Is Speedy.
LONDON, June 12. —The Yachting World
and Yachtsman, published today, agree
that Emperor William’s new yacht Meteor
is far superior to anything on this side of
the Atlantic. The Yaohtsman says: “Me-
teor without any doubt is able to beat
Britannia in any kind of weather. She is
far better in every way than Valkyrie III.
In regard to Defender, the only way to
settle that point would be to send the lat-
ter to Kiel or Cowes.”
The Venezuelan Controversy.
LONDON, J une 12.——The parliamentary
secretary of the foreign office, Mr. George
N. Curzon, answering a question in the
house of commons today, said that nego-
tiations were proceeding with the United
States with the view of bringing about a
settlement by arbitration of the Venezue-
lan dispute. But, he added, in the public
interest the government could not make
any further statement on the subject at
present. ‘

THE ARMENIANS TRIGKED.
After Having Been Reduced to Destitn-

Islamism and Were Finally
Slaughter-ed In a Church.
CONSTANTINOPLE, June 12. —The follow-
ing is from an ofiicial report by a British
official of high rank upon the two mas-
sacres in Oorfa, central Turkey:
The ofi‘lcial states that when he arrived
at Oorfa the gloom of the sad events still
hung over the town. The Armenian quar«
ter especially still wore the aspect of a
town which had been laid waste by some
scourge more terrible than war or siege.
There have been two massacres in Oorfa.
The attitude of the Turkish government
on the Armenian question since the last
Russo-Turkish war has been one calcu-
lated to end in some such deplorable catas-
trophe. Some 12 or 15 years ago the per-
sistent refusal of the sultan’s government
to carry out the reforms it had by treaty
promised to introduce into its Armenia
provinces drove a certain number of Ar-
menians in despair to have recourse to rev-
olutionary methods. The Ottoman officials,
instead of distinguishing between the in-
nocent and the guilty, chose, some from
ignorance, many from motives of personal
pecuniary gain, to regard all Armenians
as traitors scheming to throw off the Qt
toman yoke. The real sedition of certain
Armenians was confounded and lost in the
mass of trumped up charges, would be so-
ditious documents and imaginary reports
and lists of revolutionary committees sent
to the central government. Turkish of-
ficials and leading Moslems criminally
communicated these notions to the igno-
rant and indiscriminating masses of the
Mussulman population, who are guided in
their general action by the prescriptions
of the sheri law. That law prescribes that
if the Christians attempt by having re-
course to foreign powers to overstep the
limits of privilege their lives and property
are to be forfeited and are at the mercy of
the Mussulmans. To the Turkish mind
the Armenians had tried to overstep these
limits by appealing to foreign powers.
“A. Terrible Lesson.”
Immediately after the Armenian demon-
stration in Constantinople orders were re-
ceived from the central government that
should the Armenians attempt any dis-
turbance they were to receive a terrible les-
son. The Mussulmans here and elsewhere"
interpreted as the sovereign’s wish that
they should proceed to take the lives and
property of the rebellious Armenian Chris-
tians. The demonstration at Constanti-
nople was represented by the officials as an
attempt by the Armenians to storm the
sublime ports. The government, too, be-
gan to serve out arms and cartridges to
the Zaptiehs and other guards and had the
Armenian. quarter patrolled. The tele-
graphic news of acceptance of the reforms
was interpreted to the Mussulmans as the
granting of autonomy to the Armenians,
an interpretation which must have come
from the government oflicials, and which
had a disastrous effect on Moslem feeling
toward Armenians.
The trouble started over the stabbing to
death of an Armenian named Boghos by
a Mussulman named Ismail Birijlkli as
the result of a business quarrel.
Ismail was arrested, and it is claimed
Armenians stormed the guardhouse and
inflicted injuries from the result of which
the prisoner died. An Armenian doctor
who was called to make an examination
reportedthat the wounds were inflicted by
the gendarmes’ bayonets. The doctor was
thereupon shot by the major commanding
the gendarmes and his body dragged
through the streets with every mark of
indignity.
The Armenians, the greater portion of
whom had remained at home, seeing that
the Mussulmans were bent on a general
massacre, began a determined resistance
at the principal entrances of their quarters
'and finally obliged the mob to retire with
a loss of four or five Mussulman lives, they
themselves losing some 27 killed. The
mob,bafiled for the moment in this direc-
tion, turned their attention to plunder.
They completely looted and wrecked some
700 Armenian shops and 190 Armenian
houses.
The Cathedral Horror.
After the Mussulman repulse all Ar-
menians found outside the Armenian .
quarter, within or without the city, were
attacked and the males slain. Their quar-
ter was besieged and no egress allowed.
Their water supply was out off and no food
permitted to enter. This state of siege
lasted practically for two months until
the date of the final and great massacre.
The newly enrolled reserves were scat-
tered about in the Armenian quarter,
nominally for their protection, but they
proceeded to tell the Armenians that their
extermination had been decided upon by
the government. They extorted large
sums of money and valuables from them
on the promise of protection and then in-
formed them that only those who turned
Moslem would be saved. all such new con-
verts to run up a white flag on their roofs.
The Armenians in utter despair turned
Moslem en masse, and by the next night
the white flags In the Christian quarter
Were innumerable.
The Armenians were now experiencing
all the distress of a regular siege. Though
they had bribed the guards to get in some
food on the pretext that it was intended
for the soldiers and had reopened old walls
which had for many years been closed up,
their provisions and water supply were
giving out, and beasts of burden worth
several pounds were disposed of for as
many shillings. ‘
Then took place the burning of the
Oorfa Armenian cath-tdral, capable of
holding 8,000 persons. The priest admin-
istered the sacrament, and the last sacra-
ment it proved to be, to 1,800 souls. These
remained in the cathedral overnight and
in the morning were joined by several
hundreds more. who sought theprctection
of a building they considered safe from
mob violence. Three thousand individu-
als were congregated In the edifice when
the mob attacked it. They at first fired
in through the windows, then smashed in
the iron doors and proceeded to massacre
all those. mostly men, who were on the
ground floor. i
Having collected a quantity of bedding
and the church matting, they poured some
30 cans of kerosene on it, as also on the
dead bodies lying about, and then set fire
to the whole. The gallery beams and the
wooden framework soon :caught fire.
whereupon, blocking up the staircases
leading to the gallery with similar in‘
flammable materials, they left the mass of
,struggling human beings to become th
prey of the flames. - .
