CONDITIONS BAD IN ASIA MINOR Massacres by Mussalmans May Become General. MANY KILLED AT ADANA Soveral Hundred Moslems and Arme- nians Slain in Recent Rioting and the Armenian Section of the Town Destroyed—No Confirmation of Re: ported K Missionaries. ing of Two American Constantinople, April 19.—The news received here from Asia Minor is dis- tinctly alarming. There is great ex- citement among the Mussulmans at Belrut and Erzeroum and massacres are feared. No confirmation has been received here of the reported killing of two American missionaries at Adana. The latest intelligence received is that sev- eral hundred Armenians and Moslems were killed at Adana in the rioting and that the Armenian quarters of the town were finally overwhelmed and destroyed by flames. The British vice consul at Mersina, Major Daughty-Wylie, was wounded in the arm while endeavoring to quell hostilities at Adana. It appears that the Armenians made a brave fight and defended their quar- ter of the town well against the fanat- ical Mohammedans, but in spite of their resistance they were driven back and their ~“opponents ~sacked ~ their homes, b > £ Three- ~hundred - ~Mohammedans, armed with rifles, left Adana by train for Tarsus, about twemty miles away. Since the departure of these men com- munication with Tarsus has been in- terrupted. Grave apprehensions are felt regarding the situation there. The information' in the foregoing dispatch was received in consular ad- vices that have come in here. | WOULD DEPOSE THE SULTAN Thousands of Troops Reported March- ing Against Constantinople.

A leader of the Young Turks, who has just arrived here from Constan- tinople, declared “the destiny of the traitorous sultan is declded.
