' THE llllNDlSfl, lllllKSl They Manage to Find an . Excuse to Murder More Armenians. Released Prisoners Tell Horrible Tales of Their Treatment—Torpedoes For the Dardanelles—Dennncia- tion From New York. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 10.—The block- ade of the Armenian churches continues. "All the efforts of the authorities and the Armenian pa' arch have failed to per- suade the Armenians who have sought refuge within their walls to return to their houses, as they put no faith in the assurances of protection promised them. The Turks, however, will only allow Ar- menian ecclesiastics to enter the churches. and when they leave the buildings they are carefully searched. In accordance with the demands of the representatives of the powers, the police authorities have commenced releasing the Armenians who were imprisoned as a re. unfortunates who were allowed to leave the Zaptieh prison were found to be in a pitiable condition, both suffering from seven or eight terrible wounds. They have made a statement, which has been com— municated to the representatives of the powers, that the prisoners had not received food or medical treatment for the three days previous to their release. They also claim that the prison is horribly over- crowded and in a shocking state of filth. Torpedoes Inwthe Dardanelles. The streets of Constantinople and its suburbs are still patrolled by police, re- enforced by troops, and it is understood that the torpedoes sent to the Dardanelles have been or are being placed in position in the strait. Ammunition has also been sent to the forts, and from other military 7m0vements which are going on it would seem that the Turks are preparing to de- fend‘ the passage of the Dardanelles should Great Britain attempt a naval demonstra- tion in these waters. There does not seem to be‘ any material change in the diplomatic situation. The Turkish ministers have held another con- ference, and additional communications have been exchanged with the representa- tives of the powers, but these monotonous proceedings no longer attract much atten- tion, and few people believe that any do- cided change in the condition of the Ar— menians is likely to occur unless the ports is forcibly compelled to enter upon the nia. There no longer‘ seems to be any doubt that the Armenians anticipated a serious disturbance when the attempt was made ,and they claim that those of their race who fell in the streets of Constantinople upon that occasion were martyrs who gave their lives for Armenia in the hope of forcing the powars to put extra pressure upon the porte in the efforts being made tion of Armenia. Butcher-y of Armenians Contlnues. conflicts between the Turks and Arme- nians have occurred here. Many Arme- nians Were killed. The American View. NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-——At a. meeting of the executive committee of the Phil-Ar- menian Association of America today the following resolutions were adopted, ex- pressive of the sense of the association on the recent events in Constantinople and the present situation in Armenia: Whereas, The Turkish government, in de- secutions and torture of its Armenian sub- jects and thus driving them into despair has been the original cause of the recent riots in Constantinople ; er the riots have not only failed to protect in- nocent and defenseless people who had no couraged the fanatical softas to attack and murder Armenians; ' Whereas, of a few Armenians who in an orderly way had proceeded to the sublime porte with the object of petitioning the grand vizier to rem— edy their grievances; ' Whereas, In the face of the official and mi- oificial testimony of most impartial and com- petent witnesses the Turkish officials still continue to deny the cruel massacres of the Armenians in Sassoun, be it Resolved, That the responsibility-.03? the re- ish government. Resolved, That the inability or unwilling- ness of the Turkish police to preserve order and to protect the lives of the Armenians against the attacks of fanatical softas demon- strates the futility of the Turkish promises for reforms assuring security of life, honor and property to the Christian population of Tur- key, and that the lives of Christians are al- ways in danger. . ~ Resolved, That the cruelties perpetrated by the softas and other fanatical Moslems upon peaceful people prove that the carrying of arms was done solely for self protection, and that the Armenians only resorted to arms when their lives were threatened, and that this view has been supported by the collective note of protest sent since the affair to the porte by the powers. ' Resolved, That the attempts of the Turkish officials to deny the Sassoun massacres show only the barefaced impudence of the Turkish government and the hopelessness of bringing the Turks into a sense of decency without re- sorting to coercive measures. Resolved, That no effectual reforms are pos- sible in Turkey without European control, and that any longer delay in forcing the Turkish government to accept the demands of the three great powers for establishing order and secur- ity in Armenia will result in more cruelties and massacres. - Fought an Edgle In the Woods.

LONDON, Oct. 10.—Commenting upon .. the pamphlet circulated by Lord Sack- ville, making disclosures in connection I with his mission to the United States and making an attack upon Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, then secretary of state at Wash- ington and now United States ambassador here, Mr. Labouchere has this to say in Truth: ‘ “Whether it is courteous or judicious in Lord Sackville to publish this attack when Mr. Bayard is the American embas- sadorin London is adcbatable question, to'which it may be very reasonably replied that Mr. .Bayard was immeasurably more discourteous and injudicious in his behav- HENRY LABOUCHERE. 10: toward Mr. Sackvillc-West (new Lord Sackville) when the latter was British ministerin Washington, and that- Mr. Ray ard cannot therefore fairly complain. But- the matter acquires exceptional interest when it is considered by the side of the dispute over the America’s cup. “It will be remembered that Mr. Sack- ville-West was the victim of an election- eering trick. An indiscreet expression of opinion on his part was exaggerated into extravagant importance for the purpose of exciting anti-English agitation. The trick was successful, and England, in the person of her envoy, was grossly and wantonly insulted. Mr. Cleveland, however, failed to secure election. “In our relations with America experi- ence teaches us to be always on the alert. This has made the English papers over- suspicious, they possibly imagining trick- ery where none exists. It is for this reason especially advisable that interna- tional contests be discontinued until this impression is removed, or until the Amer- icans realize that they are sufficiently strong to depend upon themselves without requiring the additional support of sharp practice. The two nations are so very nearly allied that everything ought to be doncon both sides of the Atlantic to unite them even more closely. _ Both have much in common. In America they have our peers; in England we have their heir- esses." ‘ The story alluded to above was printed “for private circulation only” by Sir . Lionel Sackville-West, K. C. M. G, in a pamphlet circulated among the leading foreign diplomats, higher British officials and a few personal friends. It is entitled “My .‘Missicn to the United States, - 1881-9.” ‘ It is Lord. Sackville’s defense and ex- planation of his diplomatic career -at Washington. It treats of the letter he wrote to an alleged Englishman on the eve of the presidential election in 1888, and the subsequent sending him his pass- ports, and was quite severe on Secretary Bayard. l THE BANNOQK MATTER. The Story of the Killing of Captain Smith by Indians Disproved. SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 10,—The Trib- une received the following dispatch from P. McCormick, United States Indian in- spector at Rose Fork, Ida, via Pocatello, Ida, Oct. 8: “There are no Bannock Indians in the vicinity of. Jackson’s Hole. ' The so called Captain Smith and other Jackson’s Hole people who fired on the Bannock Indians are reported to have passed Pocatello in chargeof United States marshals en route to Evanston, 1a., for trial before the United States court on the 6th inst.

Range In New York Blows Up With Serious Results. A SERVANT GIRL INJURED. A Man grnrown Violently .. the Ceiling. The Noise Sufil'cient to Alarm the En- tire Neighborhood and Cause an Incipient Panic. NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—An explosion in the kitchen of the three story and base- ment brownstone house, 230 East Sixty- first street, today caused a panic through all the block. Firemen and police were summoned to the scene. ’ . One woman now lies in the Presby- terian hospital in a precarious condition. One man was blown clean up to the ceil- ing, while the entire basement floor was wrecked, Not a single pane of glass was left unbroken in the front and rear win- dows. ‘ Added to this, a blaze started, which at one time threatened serious consequences. The heuse is owned and occupied by Gustave‘Schnaier, his wife, four sons and a daughter. One month ago Mrs. Schnaier hired as .domestic a 20-year-old German girl named Mary Schwiencman, who had recently arrived in this country. The kitchen in the Schnaier residence is, or rather was until the explosion, pro- vided with an immense range, which had not been used since May. At that time a gas stove'was put in, on which the meals have bee cooked. . Mrs. S hnaicr told the girl to start a fire in the range today, and she did so. She gookcd her own meal and sat down to eat 1 . . The members of the family, except a son, Robert, were asleep at the time. He was in thekitchen near the stove. H 0 says that a few moments before he heard a peculiar rumbling noise, as if a back draft had set in at the range, but thought nothing of it. . A Queer Explosion. Suddenly there was an explosion, with a noise that shook the house to its founda- tion. In an instant, and without being struck with anything, Robert was lifted from hisfeet to the ceiling, the impact of his body bringing down several yards of plaster. The metal work or the range was smashed into fragments. which flew in every direction. Abouta dozen of them struck the girl. She Was sent flying to the far corner of the room. ' Pieces of the flying metal were driven through the rear windows, breaking the sash and woodwork as if made of straw. Other pieces crashed through the . doors connecting with the dining room, tore through the glass and woodwork of the front windows. smashing them to frag- ments. The glass door leading into the hallway was also broken. The force of the explosion carried the hot coal acrdss the room to the three sta- tionary washtubs and» set them on fire. The table at which thcgirl had been eat- ing was wrecked, and a bicycle standing near by was knocked out of shape. A lit- tle black dog which was lying under the table escaped with a slight singeing. An Incipient Panic. . Milton Schnaier, :another son, awakened by the explosion, and, without waiting to dress, ran down stairs barefoot- ed. His feet were cut by broken glass that littered the hall. The washtubs were then blazing merrily, and a quantity of clothes in a big basket were also in flames. Milton dragged the basket into the rear yard, and then tried to extinguish the fire in the waghtubs. His brother, who had been sent ccilingward, but who had re- covered, assisted him. ‘ ' Meanwhile nearly everybody residing on the block turned into the street, and the policeman on post sent in a fire alarm and a call for an ambulance. The firemen were'in. the house before the other members of the Schnaier family came down stairs. Most of them suffered from shock. , The servant girl was not only severely injured by the flying metal, but suffered also from shock. She was removed to the hospital, where it was discovered that she was seriously injured. The fire was ex- tinguished speedily. No one can explain the explosion, ex- cept on the theory of fire damp, .or that boys, in' crossing the roof during the sum- mer, may have closed up the chimney.
