SULTAN’S EVASIVE ANSWER Protest of the Embassadors Against Arm- ing Musaulmnn Population—Arme- nians In a State of Terror—Mas- sacres In Asia. Minor. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 27,—The report that trouble of a serious nature is brewing herethas so often been sent out that any fresh announcement to that effect is look- ed upon as having little or no foundation in fact. But in spite of this it is but right to state once more that everything points to further and 'very serious trouble prepar- ing on all sides throughout the Turkish empire. _ , The ball was set rolling on Wednesday last, when the sultan signed two irades, which were issued the next day, levying a poll tax .of 5 piasters per head on all Mus- sulmans and increasing the taxes on sheep, public works and education by 1 to 1% per cent, the funds so raised to be de- voted to military purposes. This caused the representatives of the powers to send a collective note to the ports. couched in the strongest language, calling attention to the danger that the. arming of the Mussulmans was certain to create and pointing out generally the crit- ical situation of affairs in the Turkish em- pire. But large purchases of arms have already been made, and the danger in- creases hourly. The Pcrte’s Reply. The pcrte today sent a reply to the col- lective note of the ambassadors. As usual, however, it was an evasive answor and in substance simply stated that the money drived from .the additional taxes gas gnly intended to complete the arma- ent of the mustahfuz, or londstrum, the third and last class of the Turkish army reserves. and to strengthen the armament of the other land forces of the sultan. which consists of the nizam, or regular army, and its active reserve, the redii', or landwehr, and the mustahfuz, already re ferred to. Conscripts in Turkey serve six years in the nizam, four with the colors and two in the reserve They then serve eight years in the redif, four in the first class and four in the second. Then they complete their 20 years’ service by serving six years in the mustahfuz. - The action of the Turkish government in completing the armament of the mus- talifuz indicates that the empire is facing a situation which may necessitate calling forth all the military forces at its disposal, and it also indicates that the situation is the gravest since the Russo-Turkish war. Under these circumstances it is but nat- ural that considerable uneasiness prevails. Of course there is always in view the prob- ability at least that the sultan by these movements is simply seeking to distract the attention of his subjects from the ac- tual state of aflairs brought about by his maladministrati . and that, seeing that the powers are‘i'eally in-earnest and that an understanding between Russia, France and Great Britain means decisive action, he is by these armaments practically threatening a wholesale massacre of the Christians and announcing that Turkey will resist to the utmost any attempt at armed coercion. The Financial Situation. Happily there is one feature of the crisis which has a soothing influence upon Ab« dulHamld. ,The financial situation is the one referred to. It is about as bad as it poSsibly can be. All negotiations upon the part of the Turkish government for a tem- porary loan have failed, and the condition of the treasury is one of utter helplessness. On top of this the price of breed has risen 40 pin cent dnd bids fair to rise still higher a, the price of wheat goes up. This has accidgdlg aggravated the prevailing dis. are an its consequent discontent. The police continue making arrests, and it is understood that many more bombs have been found. In Armenia the greatest apprehension exists. The time for massacres seems to have arrived. About a year has passed ' since the terrible massacres of November, 1895, and the echoes of the recent massa- cres in the city of Egin are just reaching here in spite of the efforts made by the ports to suppress anything but the ofi‘icial news. The Armenians of Egin were the most refined, intelligent and wealthy of that part of Armenia. They escaped the massacre and plunder of last year by the payment of a large ransom, but the under- governor of the district for some time pre- vious to September last is known to have been writing to Constantinople informing the authorities there that the Armenians of Egin were disloyal, and, it is said, short- ly after the recent troubles at Constanti- nople a telegram was received by‘the gov- ernor general of the province of Kharput from the palace saying: “We hear that the Armenians of Egin are disloyal. Why do you not attend to it?" According to Turkish methods this was understood to be an order to the governor general to treat the Armenians of Egin as those of other places have been treated. Christians Alarmed. Naturally the Christians became alarm- ed when this news leaked out, and on Monday, Sept. 14, they closed their shops and barricaded themselves in their houses, as large numbers of Kurds had been seen hovering about the outskirts of the city. Thereupon the undergcvernor sent word to the Armenians that the Kurds had been driven off, and he summoned the Armeni- ans to the market and made them open their shops. In consequence, on Tuesday, Sept. 15, the shops were opened and busi- ness was going on as usual, when sudden- ly a gun was fired in the upper quarter of the city, evidently a signal, and the mas- sacre began. For three days the killing of Armenians was continued, but the mas- sacre was carried out by the Turkish sol- diers and the Turkish populace and not by the Kurds. The sultan’s executioners first devoted themselves to killing, then to plun- der, and lastly to burning the houses. During the disorder more women and children were killed in Egin than in any other place your correspondent has heard of directly. ’ Meanwhile the governor general and the commander of the army corps, together with the colonel in command of the sol- diers at Egin, according to mail advices received in this city, were gathered in the telegraph office at Meznh receiving reports of the massacre and directing it. These officers are said to have remained in the telegraph office until the killing, plunder- ing and burning were ended. Two Thousand Armenians Butchered. The Armenian reports say that. 2,000 Armenians were idlled at Egin so far as known: that no Turks Were killed; that 1,000 houses were burned, leaving only 150 houses standing for the Christian popula-‘ tion, and that the women and children were huddled together in the schoolhouses and in some of the remaining buildings bereaved, destitute and hungry, to such an extent that even the governor general telegraphe‘J that they were in need of food. The official account of the afiair is that the Armenians remained in the church on Sunday and Monday so long as to excite suspicion and that the government repre- sentatives sent officials to investigate the matter. These officials are said to have found the Armenians gathered in the church, and they state they had placed a rope around the neck of the representa- tive of the Armenian patriarch and were dragging him around the church and shouting: “Why did you not allow us to make a disturbance before?” The Turkish officials further claim that _ the shot fired on Tuesday, Sept. 14, was fired by Kassab Manvoy, a prominent Ar- menian, and that the Armenians issued from their church, armed with 500 rifles and with bombs bearing the name of their deposed patriarch, Izmirlin,.and marclmd to the upper part of the town, where they met the soldiers who were returning from driving off the Kurds. Still, according to the official version of the aflalr, the Ar- menians thereupon fired upon the soldiers and killed several of them. This, the Turks say, led to reprisals. A Turkish Threat. ' The Turkish version of the massacre passes with the Turkish population, gen- erally speaking, but a prominent Turk who recently arrived here from Egin,aft- er the massacre, stated to your correspond- ent that he saw no fault in the Arms- nians there, andhe added that some very prominent Turks of Kharput have stated to Christians there: ‘ “If the powers take no notice of what has been doh‘e in Egin, we shall know that we can do what we please to the Chris- tians, and this will finish you.” Whichever version of the massacre at Egin is true there is no doubt that the ef- fect of the slaughter, plundering and burn- ing is very serious. It is claimed in cer- tain quarters that it shows there is a set- tled purpose to exterminate the Christians in spite of the blustering of the powors, and it is generally admitted that the or- dare for the massacre came from the pal- ace of Sultan Abdul Hamid, as did the orders for the massacres in the streets of Constantinople, and it is believed that the end is not yet, fbr when the heavy snoWs are on the ground‘and the escape of the unfortunate Armenians is almost impos- sible, and when the telegraph wires are down and the roads impassable, there is the opportunity of the Turk to do his butchering with the knowledge that the news will not reach Europe or America until the massacres are practically things of the past, to be denied and eventually condoned by lapse of time. Armenians In Terror. The reports from Egin also say that a number of Christians have been murdered in adjacent villages since the massacre in the city and that the Armenians are living in a state of the greatest terror, fully be~ lieving that they are to be exterminated sooner or later. ' Finally, the events of the past year have seriously weakened the authority of the Turkish government over its Mohamme- dan subjects. Very little confidence can be placed in the soldiers and gendarmes, as the latter have received no pay for many months and see no prospect of getting any for some time to come at least. Under these circumstances any corre- spondent may be excused for once more sending out the statement that the situa- tion here is extremely critical. Words no longer have any weight with the sultan, who has passed through so many crises, and who is learning to look upon the pow- ers with afeel-ing akin to contempt. N oth- ing but a display of force before his palace will have any effect upon him, but, as pre- viously stated, he seems to be threatening a wholesale massacre of Christians if the powers finally conclude to act in unison and restore order throughout the Turkish empire, while placing its administration in more competent and more honest ha‘nds. Es. '.' Relief From a. ew HaVen Church. NEW HAVEN, Oct. 27,—Tbe Rev. New- man Smyth, pastor of Center church, in asking for contributions of clothing or money to be sent to a missionary in Tur- key supported by Center church, said in conclusion: “While we must wait with patience for the development of the policy of the administration in securing repara- tion for the losses and the insults which the Turk has thus far been allowed to heap upon our nation, the swifter hands of private charity may do something to re- lieve immediate needs of the missionaries who represent our churches among the Armenians. You will more than fill this box, and I hope that the women who send it will nail the American flag to the top of it. Let our government guard it and the Turk touch it if he dares.” French Opposition to Intervention. PARIS, Oct. 27.——Le Gaulois today, re« ferrlng to the rumors which are still cir- culating to the effect that the United States will interfere in the affairs of Cuba, protests against the interference of any nation in the internal affairs of Spain, and says, “Europe is especially interested not to allow Cuba to fall under the domina- tion of the United States.” H. W. Cornell Arrested; NEW YORK, Oct. 27. -—Henry W. Cor- nell, a lawyer and a son of ex-GovernOr A. B. Cornell, has been arrested, charged with grand larceny, by an officer from Buffalo. The accused man was arraigned before Justice John Lange at ‘Dobbs Ferry, and was held in $1,000 bail for trial on the 4th of November in Buffalo. Cornell denies the charge against him.

Fireman Wilkins Proved Himself a. Real Story- Book Hero. Charles Wilkins, who is a fireman in the employ of the Northern rail road of New Jersey, wears a button which informs you that “there are others.” ' There are not many others like Wil. kins, and he proved it when he leaped from his flying engine, seized a. wo- man who stood paralyzed with fear in the path of a train coming at full SDeed' in the opposite direction, car- ried her to safety, and swung aboard the last car of his own train as it swept on toward Jersey City. And. even if he were not a hero, there are few like him, for he-is some- what bigger than all outdoors, and his brown eyes twinkle as if he were al- ways thinking of something funny. Just as the express from Nyack reached Bergen curve, near the mouth of the tunnel, at 8:15 o’clock, Fire- man \Vilkins, leaning out of the cab of engine 208, saw a womn, appar- ently 50’ years old, standing on the cast tracks right ahead of the train. She was bareheaded, and. had been busy picking up cool on the track, and had been startled by the sudden approach of the train, which was spinning along at the rate of twenty miles an hour. As Wilkins’ train was borne down upon her an Erie passenger train shot out of the tunnel behind her at the rate of thirty miles an hour. The roar of both trains was in her ears, but she only saw one, that which she was looking at, and that one would not harm her. The Erie engineer had free running as far as Hackensack, and was flying He saw the woman when there was no time to stop, and whistled. She. hearing the rain behind her, turned long enough to‘give it a glance and then looked'back at Wilkins’ engine without moving a step. , , “Slow down!” Wilkins shouted to his engineer; “I’ll jump for her.” He was on top of the tender in a moment more, his hands grasping the side irons, and one leg swung to jump, measuring with his eyes the distance between him and the wo-' man, and between her and the Erie express. She never moved a muscle after she realized there was a train behind her, too, but stood between the rails, motionless with terror, white faced, waiting to be cut to pieces. TEE: EVENING GAZETTE When his engine was about thirty feet from her Wilkins jumped. The Erie train was within sixty yards of her. The brakes had not slackened the speed enough to make the jump a safe one. The fireman’s feet tore up the earth as he was driven along, and he braced his feet to keep from falling. He did not fall. When he was almost up to the woman he re- covered his equilibrium, and fell into his natural running stride. He leaped upon the Erie track and dashed straight toward the woman and the approaching train. A slip meant death. Wilkins didn’t slip. Where his, feet fell they took firm root just long enough to give him the requisite spring. ’ The woman saw him, but terror had trapped her there in the path of the big engine, and she could not move. ,- She screamed when he seized her, as if his touch had given her voice. She was no light weight, but Wilkins is a giant. Under such circumstances as these he could have lifted an ox. He raised her on his arm and leaped to the strip of sand beside the track. Her feet had scarcely cleared the rails when the express thundered by, the wind it raised covering the wo- man and her rescuer with dust. The engineer had reversed and whistlcd for brakes, but there must have been a tragedy but for Wilkins of Nyack. Wilkins did not stop to ask why she was there or what her name was. He saw that she was uninjured, and, however frightened, did not appear to be one of the fainting kind, so he ran away from her thanks, crossed the Erie tracks again, and as his own train, the speed of which had been re- duced, went by, he swung himself aboard the car. - “The thing was to save her,”- he said, nonchalantly. “It didn’t matter what her name was. Besides, she was too frightened to talk.” . n.“ ’3‘- Its Prisoners do Free. The aldermen of Bellefontaine re- cently sent all prisoners from jail for want of money to pay the sheriff for their keeping. . The entire police force was dis- charged for the same reason, and the city left without any protectors what— ever, save the mayor and marshal. Bellefontaine has been without a sa- loon for nine years, but the city coun cil voted to leave the question of their return to a vote of the people. ' SUPER .rms g I. : I u package.
