New York, April 11.—The Phil Armenian Association is distributing a handsomely printed and illustrat- | ed book, entitled “The Armenian Crisis in Turkey,” dealing largely in | the massacre of 1894, its antecedents | and significance. Frederick Davis Greene, the author, was a missionary of the American Board in Van, the center of Armenia, and was recently ordered by bis physician to return | to America.

A large and strong mar, the chief of one village, was captur- ed by the Kurds, who tied him, threw him on the ground, and squatting around him stabbed him to pieces. At Galonzan many young men! were tied hand and foot, laid ina row, covered with brush wood and burned alive. Others were seized and hacked to death by piecemeal. At another village a priest and several leading men were captured and promised release if they would tell where others had fled, but after telling all but the priest were killed. A chain was put around the priest's neck and pulled from opposite sides “lark Avenue ead Tenth Street, St. Louis TERRORS OF A SAND STORY. Mr, Deuell of the Union D.- scribes the Recent Gale out West. St. Louis Republic. Pacitic W. A. Deuell, general superintend- ent of the Colorado division of the Union Pacific railway, arrived in the city this morning from Denver. He passed through the territory which was swept by the sand storm on Friday and Saturday and was an eye witness of the destruction it accom- plished. “No writer could exaggerate,” said Mr. Deuell, “the simoon which visited western Kansas and eastern Colorado last week. The storm be- gan Thursday night and continued all day Friday and a part of Satur- until he was seyeral times choked and revived, after which bayonets were placed upright and he was raised in the air and let fall upon them. The men of one village when flee- ing took the women and children, some 500 in number, and placed them in a sort of ravine. After sev- eral days the soldiers found them and butchered those who had not died of hunger. Sixty young women and girls were selected from one village and placed in a church when the soldiers were ordered to do with them as they liked, after which they were butchered. Children were frequently held up by the hair and cut in two or had their jaws torn apart. Women with children were ripped open. Other children were pulled apart by their legs. The last stand took place on Mount Andoke, south of Moosh, where some 1,000 persons had sought refuge. The Kurds were sent in relays to attack them, and after the besieged had been without food for several days and their am-| munition was exhausted the troops succeeded in reaching the summit without any loss, and a terrible mas- sacre followed. Now all turned their attention to those who had been driven into the Talvoreg district. Three or four thousand of the besieged were left in this small plain. When they saw themselves quickly surrounded on| all sides by Turks and Kurds, they raised their hands to heaven with an agonizing moan for deliverance. They were thinned out by rifle shots, and the remainder were slaughtered with bayonets and swords till a ver itable river of blood flowed from the heaps of the slaia. Forty villages were totally de- stroyed, and it is probable that 16,- 000 at least were killed." The lowest | estimate is 10,000 and mavy put it mach higher.” Try a bottle of Dr. Sawyer’s Family Cure! nd you will be convinced that it will cure all stomach, liver, kidney and vowel difficulty. H. L, Tucker. It is like carrying coals to New | day. Clouds of sand were driven through the air by a high wind, ob- scuring all objects and rendering existence almost impossible for man and beast. A strange phenomenon connected with the storm was that, while the wind was blowing ai the rate of from forty to sixty miles an hour north and west of Denver, yet in that city not enough air was stir- ring to cause a flag to flutter. Peo- ple in Denver would not believe that the worst sand and snow storm ex- perienced in years was raging all about them. The weather was not cold and the storm was not attended by avy electrical display. It was simply and incessaant, blinding, suf- foeating whirlwind of sand and snow. The paint and varnish on cars caught out in the storm were worn from the wood work and the car windows were scratched and ground as if by an emery wheel. One of our engines which braved the storm for several hours looked as if it had been resurrected after being buried for years. The paint and varnish were gone and it was covered with pilot to the venturing sand and slush from tender.
