Rogers of New Britain, of the American Board of Missions —He is Survived by a Widow and Infant Child—Sit- uation is Desperate—Constantinople Quiet. Constantinople~ Aprfl 18.—Confirma. tion hag been received here of the kill- ing of two American missionaries at Adana. The murdered missionaries were Mr. Rogers and Mr. Maurer The others connected with the missions are safa,_including Mr. Christie, who is at Tarsus. The Situation Is Desperate. Three French warships are hurry- ing to Mersina, where the sftuation is desperate. Foreigners and many Chris- tians have taken refuge in the con- sulates, The local troops and the gov- rmor are doing their best to protect the town, but there is great fear that it cannot hold out much longer against the invasion of the Moslems, who are sweeping down in large numbers. The American vice consul at Mersina, John Debbas, has been unable to proceed to Adana, owing to the interruption of communication. A British warship is ecding to Alexandretta, Wi is -atened by the Moslems. Several Armenfan farms in that neighborhood have been destfoyed, Alarm is felt at Kharput because of serious depreda- tions by the Kurds in the surrounding villages, although the town itself has not been the scene of any particular disorders. Punishment of Ringleaders Demanded. The tension in Constantinople over the situation is still very great, al- though this afternoon’there seemed to be some prospects of a peaceful solu- tlon of the trouble. The people of the capital are more concerned with the advance of the Salonica troops t they are with the massacres that are reported from various quarters. Sev- eral of the members of the parliament- ary deputation, which proceeded last night to Tchatalje to reassire the Sa- Jonica troops, returned here this morn- ing. They report that the troops de- mand the safe conduct and -protection of the Salonica deputies, who fled from the capital, and the punishment of the | ringleaders of the rising on Tuesday last, as an_example to prevent the re- currence of such events. Army Promises Not to Enter Constan- tinople. The army, which Is concentrating at Tchatalje, has promised not to enter Constantiyople, but ®0 await there the fulfilment of its demands. The re- porters who accompinied the deputa- tlon_were imprisoned on their arrival at Tchatalje, but subsequently they were released and permitted to return to_Constantinople, The officers of the Salonica army control the train service to Europe and the service, as & consequence, is much delayed. Delay also hag been caused by the arrival of military trains, bring- ing reinforcements to the concentra- tion canmp. . The council of ministers took the demands of the troops under consid- eration. The first of these scems to be easy of solution, provided the dep- uties agrees to return. The second de- mand, however, involving the punish- ment of the ringleaders, will be difi- rult to meet and might cause trouble. Troops Take Oath on the Koran. Constantinople fs now tranquil, the efty having a normal aspect, although the public is exceedingly nervous and apprehensive. The garrison appears to be under be.ter discipline, and the troops have taken the oath on the Korad to remain gulet and obey their officers. The ar- tillery, which came In to the capital from Hademkoi yesterday and which made preparations to return there, de- rided to remain in Constantinople. The Balonica troops immediately_instailed {hemselves at Hademko, on the depar. t,ure of the artillery, and announced heir determination hot to relinquish thelr position. According_to the latest mews from Adana, the tissionaries do not dare to eave the mission house. They are suf- Jering from lack of provisions and medicines, and have sent am appeal to the military authorities for protec- tion. Adana is still burning and it is reported that not jess than three thou- sand persons are homeless at Tarsus. M. ROGERS OF NEW BRITAIN One of the Missionar Murdered at Adana, Asiatic Turkey.

Rogers of this city, who reside at 29 Camp street, He was or- dained to the ministry in September, 1906, and became pastor at East Dor- . 'Vt.

He leaves a widow and infant child. His three brothers are Paul and James of this city and Prof. David Rogers of Harvard, and one sister is Miss E. Gertrude Rogers, now in Van Centry Turkey. Another sister resides with Mr. Rogers' parents here. The other missionary, Mr, seems not to be known by Mr. Rogers' relatives. The impression ig that one of the missionaries in Adana is named Morley. Another missionary well- known here is Esther Maltbie, but the latest information as to her wherea- bouts Is that she was at Samokav, in Bulgaria. In many of Mr. Rogers’ letters ref- erences have been made to a Henry Tmer, a ivenchman, and relatives think that ae may have been the Mr. Maurer, who was killed. aurer, A TV{DUIAND PERSONS KILLED At Adana—The City Practically De p stroyed by Fire.
