THE TURKISH SIDE Armenian Insurgents Charged With HORRIBLE ACTS CHARGED 10 THEM Mohammedans Insulted and Sub- jected to Torture. ENGLAND’S NEW COMMISSION LONDON, December 11.—Lord Roseberry had a long conference yesterday with the Earl of Kimberley, secretary of state for foreign affairs, in reference to Armenia, and as a result it has been decided that the British government will immediately send an independent delegation to investigate the reports of Turkish atrocities in that country. What Turkey Says. The Turkish legation has received the following official communication: “The Armenian agitators, who made their appearance in the steep mountains of Ta- louri, situated between Sassoum, in the southwest of Moush (vilayet of Bitlis), and the district of Calb, of the Mutessarifat of Guendj, combined their forces at the insti- gation of a certain Hampartzoum, who, under the assumed name of Mourat, was already giving trouble in those regions. This Hampartzoum, born in Hadjin, after having for 8 years studied medicine in the Civil Medical School of Constantinople and participated in the disorders of Coum-Ci pou, fled to Athens and thence to Genoa. He afterward went disguised and again under an assumed name by way of Alex- andretta, from Diarbekir to the neighbor- hood of Bitlis, and he began then and there his seditious agitation together with five other individuals. Hampartzoum was giving positive assurances to credulous people that he was a foreign agent, backed by all the European powers in his plans to upset the Turkish authorities. He succeed- ed thus in gaining to his criminal ends the Armeniang of the villages of Siner, Simal, Gulli-Guzat, Ahi, Hedenk, Sinank, Che- kind, Elffard, Mousonne, Etek, Akdjaker, as well as those of the small borough of Talouri, comprising four districts. “Now, these insurgents, under the com- mand of Hampartzoum, abandoning, to- ward the latter part of July last, their re- spective villages, and after having placed in inaccessible spots their wives, children and belongings, and secured also the co- operation of other armed insurgents that came from the valley of Moush and from the cazas of Calb and Selvan, assembled together, numbering more than 3,000, at a place called Endouk-Dagh. Five or six hundred of them decided to fall upon Moush. They began by attacking the tribe of Delikan on the Mount Courlink, in the south of Moush, killed a few of them end robbed them of their belongings. All Mus- sulmans that fell into their hands were in- sulted in their religion and murdered in a most horrible fashion. “The regular troops of the neighborhood of Moush were also attacked by these in- surgents, who, however, dtd not dare to attack Moush itself, owing to the strong military forces of the town. These rebels, together with those assembled at Endouk- Dagh, organized, then, separate bands, which assailed ferociously the tribes close at hand, committing horrible crimes and depredations. They burned alive thé nephew of Eumer Agha, and assaulted and mur- dered Mussulman women of three or four houses of the village of Gulli-Guzart. They also tortured many Mussulmans, forcing them to kiss the cross, putting their eyes out, cutting their ears and submitting them to the most horrible indignities. “The same rebels, at the beginning of August last, attacked the tribes of Farinar, of Bekirah and Badikan, committing crimes similar to the above. The insurgents of the villages of Euligheunuk and of Yer- mouch, situated in the canton of Djenan (district of Calb), attacked in their turn the Kurds living there, as also the villages of Kaisser and of Tchatchat. “Toward the end of August last, the Armenians were attacking the Kurds in the neighborhood of Moush, burning three or four villages, including Gulli-Guzart. “In relation to the agitators of Talourl, numbering, more than 3,000, after having brought consternation and death among Mussulmans and Christians alike, they:re- fused to surrender, and continued their criminal proceedings. Regular troops were sent to the spot to put down the rebellion. “The chief, Hampartzoum, fled to a high mountain with eleven of his asso- ciates in crime. He was captured alive, not, however, without his killing two sol- diers and wounding six. By the end of August last all insurgent bands were dis- persed. “Women, children and invalids were treated with due consideration and accord- ing to the dictates of Islamism and hu- manity. ‘The insurgents who fell were those who refused to surrender and pre- ferred to fight the lawful authorities of their country. The insurgents who were captured will be punished according to the law.” _— THEY WILL BE MASSACRED. Peril of Foreigners in China Ac- cording to a Recent Letter. LONDON, December 11.—The Globe this afternoon prints a letter from a British resident In China who occupies an im- portant position which brings him in touch with the mandarins and the masses, The writer says: “A tragedy may occur any day, and when the Japanese come within sight of the capital I feel certain that every foreigner will be massacred. The foreign ministers will incur a perfectly insane risk if they remain there after the ice has closed the port of Tien-Tsin. The greatest danger is in the fact that nearly all the soldiers are members of secret societies, which are ready to break out at the first chance.” PEKIN, December 11.—The angry feeling of the Chinese population here against for- eigners is increasing. M. Burdenu’s MHiness, PARIS, December 11.—M. Burdeau, presi- dent of the chamber of deputies, and who was minister of finance in the cabinet of which M. Casimer-Perier was premier, just previous to his election to the presidency of the republic, is critically ill. He is suf- fering from congestion of the lungs. The Swazt Convention. DURBAN, Natal, December 11.—The new Swazi convention was signed today by Sir Henry Brougham Loch, the high commis- sioner and commander-in-chief. of Cape Colony, on behalf of the British govern- ment, and by President Kruger, on behalf of the South African republic. The signa- tures were affixed to the document in the middle of the railway bridge connecting Natal with the Transvaal. It was to protest against the signing of this convention that a deputation of Swazi chiefs visited England with a petition to the Queen of England. —_——>_—_ Real Estate Transfers.

STILL ANOTHER SUIT Fidelity Stockholders! Make a Move on the Officers, Claimed That Manager Wall Drew $80,000 im the East Year—Par- ticuldrs ‘of Bill. In the case of the Fidelity Building, Loan and Investment Association, Mr, C. A. Brandenberg, on behalf of J. D, Furches and six other parties, complainants, today prayed the court to require and direct the receiver, when appointed, to institute a suit against Andrew Wall, Harrison Ding- man and the other officers of the associa- tion to recover certain amounts alleged to have been unlawfully paid the sald de- fendants since the organization of the as- sociation. The petition filed by the parties stated that it appeers py an exhibit to the answer of the defendants that Andrew Wall has received from the association, as its man- ager and superinten@ent, the sum of $81,482.08 as salary for the past year; that in the suit instituted against the associa~ tion about a year ugo for the appointment of a receiver it appeared that the lawful and proper salary of said Wall was $2,000 per annum; the‘ the payment of the afore- said enormous sum of $81,482.08 to him was. unlawful and improper, contrary to the by-laws and regulations of the association, “and was, as your petitioners charge, a straightout steal of about $79,000 of their hard earnings and“the hard earnings and savings of many poor people throughout the country.” The petitioners further charge “that with the amounts thus unlawfully and shame- fully acquired said defendant, Wall, has grown financially fat and sleek; has been living in grard style in a fine house in the District, purchased and likewise fur- nished with the funds thus unlawfully ac- quired, and acquired to the prejudice of the rights of your petitioners and other stock- holders of said association; that said Wall, your petitioners charge, upon information and belief, has been endeavoring to dis- pose of at an unusual reduction the real estate in the District of Columbia afore- said and the furnishings thereof, prepara- tory to leaving the District of Columbia in view of the threatened criminal proceed- irgs in this jurisdiction and criminal pro- ceedings already instituted elsewhere.” The petitioners therefore contend that it is the duty of the defendant associa- ticn, by its receiver, to forthwith sue for and recover from Wall the excess over and above his proper salary, and that imme- diate action is necessary. The petitioners further charge “that in a similar manner the other officers of said association have, during the existence of the same, likewise received sums under the guise of salaries largely in excess of the amounts properly due them,and as to such amounts they are trustees for the benefit of the defendant association, and your petitioners as st«ck- holders there and the creditors thereof, and that such excessive sums should be recov- ered by legal proceedings regularly insti- tuted for that purpose. This petition, it is expected, will come up before Judge Cox tomorrow morning, when he is expected to name the recetver, whose appointment, as stated in yesterday's Star, has been deci@ed upon by the court. hae Ss A CIVILIZED WARFARE, Instructions Given by Lieut. Gen. Sakuma of the Japanese Army. The instructions given by Lieut. Gen. Sakuma to the second Japanese army governing the treatment of the enemy in the pending var are contained in an issue of the Yokohama Mail Summary recently received here. Gen, Sakuma said that Ja- pan being “the first country of the east which had adopted civilization as her path, held the responsible position to lead other hitherto uncivilized states into the way of civilization, So, whatever way the enemy may act, Japan must tread the way of justice, and while carrying reform into a barbarous country, the dignity of Japan must be upheld In the world.” He then specified the following conditions to be observed by the army: 1. That the people of the enemy's coun- try who do hot offer resistance should be consoled as much as possible. No such act is to be committed as to insult the wounded captives or those who have surrendered, or to deprive such of their clothes »r properties, The enemy's dead shall not be behead- ed, their noses cut off or their eyes taken out. In short, Japanese soldiers are warn- ed against perpetrating acts of brutality. 4. That fire shall not be set to places without due cause. 5. The dwellings and cultivated fields of the enemy's country shall not be. de- stroyed. * 6. Females in the enemy's country shall not be violated, or other indecent acts committed. 7. In the enemy's country tombs are not to be dug out or damaged. 8. Private property of the people shall not be plundered. 9. No forced sale or purchase effected. 10. Our enemy being the Chinese army, people of other nationality should be loved and friendship shown to them, and our soldiers should not be guilty of violent or rash acts. 11. Besides the above, deeds unworthy of the honor of our army shall not be perpe- trated. The same paper says that Kin Kaku U, leader of the Japanese party, and who was vice minister of justice in Corea, was assassinated at his house on the Sist of October. The deceased was regarded by many as the most able among the new ministry. o-<——____——. THE CHILEAN AWARD. The Last of the Baltimore's Sallors Gets a Present. The case of Joseph Quigley, a second- class fireman in the navy, is an interesting cne. He was attached to the U. 5. 8. Bal- timore during the Chilean revolution and was badly injured during the riots in Val- paraiso that followed the overthrow of the government. Chile paid an indemnity of $75,000 for those riots and the sum of $1,000 was set aside by this government as Quigley’s share of the fund. That indi- vidual disappeared some time ago, and when apprehended was tried by court-mar- tial at Mare Island, Cal., for desertion. He was acquitted of that charge and con- victed of being absent from the ship with- out leave. For this infraction of the regu- lations he was sentenced to six months’ confinement and to be dishonorably dis- charged from the service. He has already served four and a half months of his sen- tence and has been an exemplary prisoner. Taking these things into consideration Secretary Herbert has remitted the unex- ecuted portion of his sentence and has sent him a check for $1,000, which will un- doubtedly enable him to have a very merry Christmas. This payment completes the disbursement of the Chilean indemnity fund with the exception of $300 allotted to one of the Baltimore's injured sailors named W. H. Nichols, who deserted soon oe the riots and has not been heard from since. 2+ —___ GOODWYN LEFT IN A HUFF. Dissensions in the Recent Kolbite Caucus. Special Dispatch to The Evening § MONTGOMERY, Ala., December 11.—The populists are greatly disturbed over the disclosing of the secrets of their recent caucus sent out by ‘he Star correspondent. It was thought that thefacts of the caucus would be kept secret, and their anxiety to discover the person who let the facts out has ied to further disclosures. They are sensational in their character. The dis- cussion as to how far they should sustain Kolb in his dual government led to a@ heated discussicn between Kolb and one of his hitherto stanchest supporters—Sen- ator Goodwyn, chairman of the Kolbite state executive ccmmittee. Goodwyn op- poses anything tending to trouble, and hopes for a peaceful solution, while Kolb and a few others*are desperate, and pro- pose to adopt extreme measures. Some members of the caucus favored a shotgun solution, and declared it rank cowardice to await or expect any other; that no party ever willingly surrendered its power. It was only after one of the most heated and excited discussions ever held by the popu- lists in this state that a compromise reso- luticn was adopted, agreeciag to walt the action of the legistature. Goodwyn, however, it ts said, left the caucus in a huff, and he and Kolb do not speak now. ar. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1894~TWELVE “PAGES. Official Correspondence in Regard to the Recent Outrages. A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT The Story Told in Secretary Gresham's Communication. INSTRUCTIONS TO MR. JEWETT ‘The President sent a message to Congress today transmitting the official correspond- ence in regard to the recent outrages in Armenia. Tife story is told in a communi- cation frem Secretary Gresham to the President, dated December 10, 1894, the text of which is as follows: Secretary Gresham's Communication. “The Secretary of State, to whom was referred the resolution of the Senate of the 3d instant, requesting the President, ‘if, in his judgment, it be not incompatible with the public interest, to communicate to the Senate any information he may have received in regard to alleged cruelties com- mitted upon Armenians in Turkey, and es- pecially whether any such cruelties have been committed upon citizens who have declared their intention to become natural- ized in this country, or upon persons be- cause of their being Christians, and fur- ther, to inform the Senate whether any ex- postulations have been addressed by this government to the government of Turkey in regard to such matters, or any pro- posals made by or to this government to act in concert with other Christian powers regarding the same,’ has the honor to sub- mit herewith all the correspondence in the Department of State bearing on the sub- ject of the resolution. “The department has received no infor- mation ‘in regard to alleged cruelties com- mitted upon Armenians in Turkey,’ other than the statements that have been made by the Turkish government, the current re- ports in the press, and two telegraphic re- ports from the legation of the United States at Constantinople. Those state- ments and reports contain nothing as to any cruelties committed upon persons who are described in the resolution as ‘citizens who have declared their intention to be- coine naturalized.” The undersigned is not aware that there are American citizens in Armenia or elsewhere who are such other- wise than by birth or naturalization. The department is not informed that Turkish subjects who have declared their intention to become citizens of the United States, and have acquired a domicile in this coun- try, have, upon returning to the land of their birth, been subjected to cruelties. In the absence of authentic information in regard to the matters in question, no “expostulationa” have been addressed to je government of Turkey concerning em. As to “proposals made by or to this gov- ernment to act in concert with other Chris- tion powers,” the undersigned has the honor to say that on the 30th ultimo the American minister at Constantinople tel- egraphed the sultan had expressed a de- sire that a citizen of the United States should accompany “a Turkish commission” to investigate the alleged cruelties. This solicitation, which is doubtless one of the “propo: referred to in recent public rumors, was, though fully appreciated, de- clined for the follow'ng reasons: The position ot the Christian subjects of Turkey ts guaranteed by certain stipula- tions in the treaty of Berlin of 1878, which form a part of what is known as the Eu- ropean concert. The government of the United States is not_a party to that treaty. its sixty-first article it is provided: The sublime porte undertakes to carry out without further delay the improve- ments and reforms demanded by local re- quirements in the provinces inhabited by the Armenians, and to guarantee their se- curity against the Circassians and Kurds. It will periodically make known the steps taken to this effect to the powel which will superintend their application.” It is obvious that the intervention of the United States, at the solicitation of Turkey, in a matter to which these stipulations ex- pressly relate, would not have been timely and judicious, either on the score of pro- priety or of expediency. On the contrary, it might have proved to be exceedingly embarrassing to the European powers whose duty it is to see that the guarantees in favor of the Armenians are executed. Subsequently, however, the British gov- ernment, one of the principal signatories of the treaty, having taken steps in the matter, expressed a desire that a capable and upright citizen of the United States might participate with the commission in an Investigation now to be made. With this request, which was supported by the porte, it was. decided to comply, and Mr. Jewett, consul of the United States at Si- Yas, was designated for the duty. ‘The undersigned deems it superfluous to say it fs the desire of the department that a complete and impartial investigation may be made of the matters referred to in the resolution of the Senate, to the end that the facts may be fully elicited, and the requirements of justice and humanity, as well as of the treaty stipulations, duly ob- served. Instructions to Consul Jewett. The instructions to Consul Jewett, refer- red to in the above report, are embodied in a cable message sent to United States Min- ister Terrell at Constantinople, dated De- cember 5, 1894, of which the following is a copy: ri “Terrel, Minister, Constantinople. “Since my. telegram of 2d instant, de- clining partictpation of this government in proposed investigation of reported occur- rences at Sassoun, your supplementary telegram of the same date has been re- ceived. The Turkish minister yesterday re- peated the sultan's desire that an Ameri- can join the Turkish commissioners in the investigation; and moreover the British government, a party to the treaty of Berlin, has expressed its desire that a capable and upright citizen of the Unit- ed States participate and report _ his individual conclusions. The President therefore directs that Mr. Jewett, consul at Sivas, accompany the ‘Turkish commission, rot, however, as a member of it, to the dis- trict In which the alleged atrocities were committed, and after full and impartial in- vestigation report the facts for the infor- mation of his government. He will not join the Turkish or other commissioners m any report. You will inform the minister of foreign affairs, and, if necessary, ask proper escort for Mr. Jewe! “GRESHAM —- Whiteford Found Guilty. 5 The jury in the case of Wm. L. White- ford, the young man who was released from jail Saturday afternoon while his trial was pending in the Criminal Court, returned a verdict of guilty yesterday after- noon, after a short consultation. The ac- cused was the bookkeeper of the Columbia Chemical Company, and was charged with forging the name of the secretary of the company to two checks for $25 each in September and October last. The prisoner, who was years ago the private secretary of Senator Gorman, was remanded for sen- tence. 20,000, Mr. Henry B. Parker, of the clothing firm of Parker, Bridget & Co., has filed a suit for an accounting against Messrs. Busbrod Robinson and William D. Chery, of the clothing house of Robinson, Chery & Co. The plaintiff states that in 1883 he and the defendants became associated to- gether in the clothing busincss in this city, it being agreed that he was to put fn no capital, but for the use of his name and for his entire devotion to the firm he was to receive a weekly salary and 1 per cent of the gross receipts from sales. The partnership continued until January, 1804, and, believing that the sales during that time amounted to $2,000,00), he claims $20,000, a Mock Trial. A novel entertainment in the form of a mock trial was given last evening in the Sixth Presbyterian Church by the Brother- hood of Andrew and Philip of that church. A realistic appearance was added to the af- fair by the presence of Judge I. G. Kim- ball of the Police Court, on_the bench; N. Carroll Downs of Criminal Court No. 1, as clerk, and James Springman, deputy mar- shall, as bailiff and court crier, COMMISSIONERS OF DEEDS. COUNTRY BOARD.. COUNTRY REAL ESTATE. DEATHS .

Coliccting Evidence for United States District Attorneys in Their Pros- ecutions of Offenders. The pension bureau has received a report from Special Examiner Stockslager at Fort Smith, Ark., announcing the recent con- viction of Tom Bear to six years in the penitentiary, and the sentence of T. J. Thornton to six months in jail and a $200 fine. This disposes of the ringleaders in a big scheme to defraud the government. They were connected with fully 500 claims, said to be fraudulent, and a commission of five special examiners, under the super- vision of Examiner Stockslager, is still at work on the conspiracy. There are only two cther regular commissions of special examiners now at work on si:pposed fraud- ulent pension cases. Five examiners, un- der the supervision of Examiner Waite, have been investigating the Van Leuven cases, and are collecting evidence for the use of the United States district attorney in his prosecutions, Several of those in- volved in the scheme have been indicted and more indictments are expected soon. W. 8. Ayres and five other examiners are working on the W. Bowen Moore cases, in- volving probably the biggest frauds that have been discovered by the bureau for many years. The indicted pension attorney had an agency in Rochester and three ex- aminers are there continuing their in- vestigation. A full commission investigated the transactions of Attorney Hansee cf Hoboken, N. J., who ran a branch office in Eddenville, N. Y., and who was impli- cated in several hundred fraudulent cases, but it has now been dissolved. Examiners Fuller and Clements are, however, now at work verifying the evidence in some of the cases. Including these commissions 206 examiners are at work in the field inv: tigating frauds and attending to other work of the bureau. Many of this force are making investigations in the south, especially in the neighborhood of New Orleans, where a large number of colored people are implicated in pension frauds. o AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. How the Census # Taken Before the Year 1800, ‘The taking of the census by the police in Georgetown is not @ new or @ compara- tively new custom west of Rock creek, as is proven by an ordinance recently resur- rected that went into effect away back in 1796, when Robert Peter, John Mackall Gantt, Brooke Beall, Bernard O’Neale, Jas. McCubbin Lingan, John Threlkeld and John Peter constituted the ruling power. The ordinance provides for the cutting up of the town into four wards, and for the appointment of a warden to superintend each, The chief duty of these wardens was to see that the laws were strictly en- forced, but a duty spectally expressed is contained in the act, as follows: “It shall be the duty of every warden to take the census of his respective ward, and to re- port every inhabitant to the clerk of the corporation, including all vagrants, sus- picious and disorderly persons, and the lo- cation of ail noisy, tumultuous and im- proper houses.” Whenever an inhabitant wished to re- move from one ward to another he was re- quired to give at leest six days’ notice thereof before so doing, or he was subject to a fine of $. If y housekeeper or tavernkeeper lodged a person for more than three days without notifying the warden he was liable to be fined the same amount. ‘These wardens were merged into “police officers” on April 30, 1808, in pursuance of the following ordinancé: “That for the purpose of better enforcing the laws of the town, it is hereby agreed that there be ap- pointed on joint ballot two ‘police officers,” one for the first district, east of High street, and one for the second district, west of High street, they to be known as the first and second pclice officer, and to receive ~ ee of $200 a year; upon oath that they have performed their duty faithfully. C Morris Post Election. The annual election of officers of Geo. U. Morris Post, G. A. R., was held iast night and resulted as follows: Commander, Sam'l McMonigle; senior vice commander, James T. Clements; junior vice commander, E. C. Arnold; quartermaster, Rudolph Ulmer; surgeon, Dr. J. F. R. Appleby; chaplain, Geo. W. Fletcher; officer of the day, Walter Sebastian; officer of the guard, Robert E. Duvak Inner guard, Charles McCarty; sen- tinel, Wm. Dunnigan; representatives to the department encampment, James T, Clem- ents and B. T. Janney, and alternates, Ru- dolph Ulmer and Joseph W. Kirkley. Work Suspended, The delay in the arrival of lumber has caused a suspension of work on the Aque- duct bridge piers. The timbers being used in the construction of the coffer dam are of such size and weight that it was found necessary to send to North Carolina for them, where they are being expressly ewn. Merry Affair. Prof. Reinburg’s masquerade last night, in the Masonic Banquet Hall, was a merry affair. The variegated, ridiculous, comical, original and fetching costumes, combined with the jollity of the masqueraders, made the occasion one to be remembered. Pri: were awarded to Mr. Harry Albrecht for the originality of his costume; to Mr, Frank Hoyle, for presenting the most comical tg- ure, and to Miss Magruder, for her splend- id impersonation of “‘Topsy;” Messrs. Hen- ry Schlosser, as a danseuse, and Calvin King received special attention. The prizes were in gold. of CHION, AND ROAD Me a7-0t 1117 G st. nw., Room 3.
