London Timea JExN1 BAGnRA, July 18.—1 must now distinctly proclalm that thero havo been massacres of o most appatling kind at Jenl Saghra; and, more. over, that, as far as human cvidence s accept- able, I am convinced that they have Incontest- ably been vommitted by the Bashi-Bazouks, without rhyme or reason, Last nigzht, on ar- riving at JenlBaghra, | found It impossibleto et any but Turkish guldes, and was uot permitted to coter tha town, which lles some distance from the railway, without such an escort. Tho conclusion wrrived ot last night was that the town had been destroyed, first by the Bulrur- fans burnlng the Turklsh quarters, und second bylml Bashi-Bazouks sacklng ths town i re- prisal. . ¥ The concluslon wo liave arrived at to-day (s altnost diamctrically opposed tu this, and jt s n natter of satlafaction to mo thut I wis secom Faulcu in my scarchies to-day by o gentleman of iigh positiott In the diplomuticservice, It {s casy to understand that fo vur scarch of last night ing town which coutained nearly ine babitants wo had been casily diverted (rom a proper investigation by our Turklsh guides, To- day wo visited an cnlln.-hv different part of tho town, und thus stumbled, or were Jed, on what proved the most awful ¢vidence. ‘Tho tirat place we visited wus u house lying in the outskirts of the town, aud once the ‘property of a ecrtain Mouln, who, 1 belleve, cati s produced If ueces- sary, Wo wers Informed that his wifo had becn defiled and then sluughtered by a blow on’ the bicad, and was buried in_a mouure-heup fn the farwi-yard.

Her dress was very de, oruamented - with 8 good deal of enibroldery, and her long, white undergarmout was os fresh as when first put oy, proviug that she had not been many Lours in that dawnp soll. We next went to u plucs close h‘y, whiere, In & fow moments, without hesita- tion, our workmen uncovered the remuins of u o {u rough Bulgarlau clothes, with a terrific sabro-cyt across his neck and face, and an Indi- catlon oL a bullet In the foréhead. This man was appareotly about 80 ycurs old. We then went (0 & house belonging to & certaln Dobrou- lou Minclion (which beiog (uterpreted Iy the ¢ Good Demetrius ), where wa found blood surlukled ou the doorposts and a most over- poweriug lwill, as ifa body bad just been re- moved. Ou the floor, amid a heap of garwents, I fuuud a woman’s chemise, of rough country eotton, saturated with fresh bl from the veck to the walst. Tho bistory of thls gar- meot was very plain.

Here In a barn, overed with a little etraw, we found the bodies of three people—s young. fatr- Bbatred woman, of nbout %' to 22, witha ful!, round form, and leht golden halr ingreat masres All about her face aud shoulders, Iyin ncross the hodies of apparently two men,thoug! itis possible there may have been more, 1t was an awful sight, and ‘the story secmed gelf- evident, These {)oor. delenzeless people had sought ahelter in the barn; the men had breen wmurdercd first, and the woman, having heen first ravighed, had been thrown across thefr bod- fes. In a house close by we found, lying in the open space in front of the little veranda, the boily of a younz man with his head half severcd by a sword cut. His name was Jordan- Oglon Geordl. 1 forgot to mention that my friend piluked up two bullets in the houte where 1 {uumrlhc blood-statned chemise, flattened and with bone adhering. They arc an the table be- fore me as I write, and have been fired from a Remington, We then drove out Into the country, and in the plain, about n quarter of a mile out, we came across the lmd{ of o man wha Iiad been apparently making hay, or per- haps had been driving & hay-cart,” The condition in which we found him does not perinit of description, . His head was also battered to pleces. After this time falled us, and, more- over, a sickening horror had taken'hold of us, which {L will take along time to ecfface, But our tealdes were, und are atill, anxious to con- duvt us to all kinds of ?lums, Ruaranteelng the like awful spectacles, [ may, out of curiosity, prosecuite my researches further, but no further evidence I8 necessary for me. What matters it whether the nuinber in ten, twelve, filty, or n hundred? To cach of these creaturcs the ex- treine ngonfes of human life—death, dishonor, and mortal pal—had been awarded; snd whal more could they have suffered i llnvlnyf given'in detnll what our reacarches Teud to, I imust now sum up the evidence which has convinced mo that Lhls massacre was a cold- blooded, undeserved attack by the Dashi-Ha- zouks on tha defenscless Bulgarians. To begin with, not one single Turkish corpse has been or, apparently, can he produced.. The account given by a qu. many Bulgarians who have stice coine forward is,”that on Saturday, the H4th, ot 3 p. m., a large body of the Bashi-Ba- zonks arrived fn the town and warned the Moslem populntfon that the Russians werc within a short distance, The Mostems then all fled, and it was these people, arrivine in Con- stantinople on 8unday morning, who brought the atory that the Rusalans were driving then out and mnssacreing them, The Bashi-Bazouks camped that night outside the town and near the rallway station. On Sunday they entered the defensuless town agaln at midddy and he- gun by pillaging the bazaar. Now. the ehons of tha bazaar, though In the Turkish quarter, are entirely owned by Bulgarians, and, after having ransacked the ehops, the Bashi-Bazouks sct fire to the place, Here, 1 confess, thero s a -umcuua-. Flow aid the mosque, on the other #lde of a broad road, come to be burnedf it ls very probable that the Bulgnrians did sct fire to it, and probably to other parts of thu Turkish quarter. But they were all quite unarmed and could have offered no reslstance, The scene of slaughter and robbery went on for twenty-four houtrs, beginuiuz with the hetter classes, and the unlyersal testhnony of all the Bulgarians §s that thewomen were violnted in nearly” every house. The Bashi-Bazouks went backward ind fur- ward to their camp oll that day, Sunday, and all that night, The peuple fiylng from™ thein into the flelds were pursued and kitled fu the Tope of finding moncy on them, amd at a place 1lind not time to vialt Lam told there ara six. teen bodles Iying togethers but of this I nm not certain, thouizh 1 cansco no reason to disbelieve it. On Moanday the regular troops arrived from Razanlik and other places, retrenting before the Russians, and the mossacre secms to bave veased, h' this time upward of 4,000 peopic had left by the trains, packed away n every kind of thing thatcould nold them, mostof thern having fled from thelr homes with nothing but tho clothes an thefr backs, ‘When I arriveld on Tuesday evening I saw the lant two heavy trains Jeaviog, and it was sip- nificant that'even then the General did not think themn safe fromn these bratal Irregulars, as a strong cordon of infantry regulurs was posted ull along the train unttl it actually got out of the atation. Indecd, so perfectly awaro was the General of the peril of theso “poor neople that he begmed the statlon-tnaster Lo use his ut- moat endeavors tu get them all away, which he «id with most praiscworthy promptitude. The General, SBcliny Pacha, sald to the station-mins- ter, “For (od's sako get theeo people away, for 1 cannot answer for my troops,” Our searches to-daoy showed us ‘that not a single house or shop has escaped, It recmn in- credible how they can have ransacked the place 80 completely fn'soshort a time. I belleve thero are about 1,000 to 1,200 of these Bashi-Bazouks here, consisting of Circasslans and Zelibeks. Hundreda of - these scoundrels desert and the country I8 overrun with maraudiug partics ot twenty aud thirty, who visit the Bulgarian vil- lages,” From the station last nlicht we eaw the flames ot two large villages, The tcluinwh brings in accounta of robbery and murderin many others, As the Russlans advauce these ruthless villlans retire and sack the villageson lhellrnnd. It {s difileult to sco where {t can end, As to the numbers of the people actunlly kill- ed at Jeni Baghira In tho massacra of the I5th and 16th, I have no means of furming an fden, for many people that are now supposed to ba dead wiil turn up again when the troubles are wver, as they did after the massacres of 1871, Nor_cah the numbers given by the people b even approximately true, as they vary from ten or twelve to five hundred, 1t fs quite true, though, that a number of girls are missing who fled trom the town, and as [ went among tho peoplo aud my dragoman cross-questioned o great many of them, 1 think that we gut at the tratn shout some of these things. T was struck with the singular look of despair and alarm on the {aces of many of the women, and of one in par~ ticular who had recelved most brutal outrage I sball not cufly forget the expreasion. She was a woman of 23, witha fizure of great bcnu'-ly‘r. tall aud straight, wil a_most remark- abla face, When lr)-(ng to discover any ano authentio caso of a wuman having been out- razed this woman was pointed onttome bya man called Bastlke, whio had been oncof the wealthiest men in the town, an engineer and architect. It oppeared that from this unfortu. nate woman's beaut and social itlon and from the F"""'"K of the horrid affulr it was an imposstbility to throw over It thatvell of silence with which ’?‘ all naturally strive tohide their own shune, The woman uamistakably showeid more despair and 8 inore painiul cxpression of shame about her than nimost auy of them, ARMENIA, TUR RUSSIAN HETREAT FHOM ESHIK-KIALIAN.
