able to catch him. From the direction Oomez Is t akin sr. he may contemplate an attack on Guanajay. Many families have already left Managua, fearing that the insurgents may make another attack on it, and large numbers of people continue to leave the other towns around Havana for this city, apprehending being rob be-J by the insurgents. Tne Spanish authorities at San Francisco 1e Paul, a village between this city ami Fanta Maria, del Romrio. have detained eight young men who had prepared to join the Insurgents. WORK OF THE INSURGENTS. Throughout the day information concerning the tfamsjie done by the Insurgents in the province of Pinar del Rio continued to arrive here from various sources. Between Pueblo Nuevo anJ Ballato, in that province, all the cane fields have been burned, an l at Pa-so Real, La Herradura and Los Palaciios the insurgents have not only burned all the railroad cars, but they have destroyed all the railway material of every description which they could lay hands on. In the province of Matanzas the insurgents arc again becoming active, in anticipation of the coming of the second or eastern army of the insurgents, under Generals SRabi and Jose Maceo. Small bands are! reported to be on the move in the vicinity of Canasi. Bermejo, Roque, Bolondron and Jovelianos (Bomba), which is seriously Interfering with the plans of the Spanish comanders to collect a considerable force of troops In the district of Colon, with the view of trying to bring about a pitched battle with the insurgent force advancing through the province of Santa Clara. At Guareiras, south of Colon., the Insurgents have burned the plantation of La Vega and other cane fields, and they have caused enormous loss by similar tactics. While passing through the Mata Sagua district, the insurgents hanged two plateados, and at Maaicaragua, province of Santa Clara, the insurgents have burned the large store and tobacco -warehouse, containing & bales of tobacco, belonging to the Ortiz company. The distress in the province of Matanzas and other places devastated by the insurgents is very great, and the local authorities in various districts have been granted the necessary permission to collect funds by public subscription for the relief of the sufferers. In addition, all the soldiers and all the employes of the different branches of the government have agreed to give one day's pay each month towards the funds being collected to relieve the distress referred to. To-night informatics was received here to the effect that the insurgents have also burned the village of Rio Blanco, in the province of Pinar del Rio. The prices of provisions, etc.. are rising very rapidly here, and the expense of living is fully 50 per cent, more than it was a month ago. At the rate things are going, though th Spanish authorities are still hopeful of driving the Insurgents eastward and westward of Havana, -th- city of Havana will be the most expensive place in the world to live in. It this 13 the case with the insurgents force noar in this vicinity, it may be Juiced that matters will be considerably worse if the Spanish commanders are unable to check the advance westward of the second Cuban armv. Business is suffering terribly on all sides, and the mercantile community is heartily tired of the Insurrection and everything connected with GOMEZ SEEMS EVERYWHERE. Much confusion Is manifest in the reports Riven out In this city of the movements of the Insurgents and of the whereabouts of the different leaders. This Is due partly to the swiftness of the insurgents movements and partly -to the cutting of wires and interruption . of communication. Maximo Gomez seems to be everywhere, according to the reports of his activities. Gen. Saurez Valdes supplements the report that Gomez In person led the second attack on Bejucal yesterday, which was repulsed by General Linares, with another report that his column overtook Gomes yesterday at the head of three thousand Insurgents, moving from Vereda Nueva in the direction of Hato Ariguanabo, near the border of Pinar del Rio. The Insurgents made a stand and engaged Brigadier. General Cornel, who led Valdea's vanguard. It seems that after an hour's hard fishtlng the main Spanish column coming up,. the Cubans 'retreated and their position was taken. The hot fire which they had been pouring into 'the Spanish ranks was-stopped by the artillery of the Granada regiment. When the Cubans were dislodged their retreat is said to have ben precipitate and-nine dead were left on the tield and five wounded, while numerous woun led were carried away. The troops lost one officer ,and fifteen privates wounded. What -direction the Insurgents took Is not stated, but their movements. after the attack on Bejucal seemed to Indicate a purpose to return to the province of Pinar del Rio. That this movement is not designed to effect a Junction with Maceo is indicated by the continued course westward of that commander. He meets with little or no resistance and his men lose no time In visiting condign punishment on those disaffected to the insurgent cause by the destruction of their property. At Cabanas. Bah la Honda and San Cristobal the volunteer troops which formed the garrisons of the towns promptly surrendered themselves and turned their arms over to the insurgents. There are claims put forth that Maceo has made efforts to get out of Pinar del Rio. and that he Is held there by the superior force of the Spaniards, but it is known that the holding of the country immediately around Havana by the Insurgents is regarded as the most dangerous feature of the situation by the authorities, and they would probably be glad to have it vacated on any terms. So far as securing any provisions goes, the city Is much as though it were in a state of siege. The Spanish authorities seemed to feel hopeless of bettering conditions until they can secure an adequate cavalry force to operate against, the insurgents. From the eastern provinces comes the report that the column of troops commanded by Colonel Martin has had two engagements with the insurgents in the Sancti Spiritus district of Santa Clara, in one of which the Insurgents are said to have sustained a loss: of twenty-seven, while a captain of the troops was seriously hurt and niru privates wounded. In a skirmish on the farm of Rojo

Clfuentes with the band of Roban the latter. lost three killed and carried away nine wounded- Telegraphic communication Is being re-established ln Matanzas. ' ANOTHER FIGHT. The opening of the. wires In Matanzas has brought Intelligence of a hot engagement at Los Charcas, near the mountains of San ta Maria. In that province. The column of Spanish trcops was led by Capt. Martin Sanchez, and the number of his troops is placed by the official report at 240. The ineurgents engaged were under the Cuban leaders Lacret, Clotinde, Garcia, Perez and Inglesito, and the official report place their number at 1.200. The battle. It Is said, raged fiercely for two hours, the insurgents pursuingtheir usual elusive and harassing tactics. They gave back before the Spanlards, who finally took their camp and found there eleven dead insurgents and five wounded. They claim that the insurgents Also carried away sixty-one wounded. The Spanish losses, according to the report given out, were: One volunteer killed, five soldiers wounded and ten missing. The subsequent movements of the opposing forces vrw not reported. Still another report of an encounter with Maximo Gomez, at a point near Sebarucal, has been receive!. This tme It was General Prat. w,'io reports that he has had an engugtsient with Maximo Gomez and that he has also put the Cuban forces to flight. No details of the engagements are given, nor is anything" stated as to the amount of the losses Inflicted, but It is said that Gomez is proceeding westward and that he goes to relieve Maceo and to reinforce him. The Spanish authorities claim that they have pressed Gomez hard for two days and that they have, succeeded in doing what they ought in driving him back into the heart f Pinar del Rio province.. They t-ay that the combined forces of Gomez and Maceo are now in a seriously compromised position, and they do not fail to disseminate the Impression of their confidence that they have at last got the insurgents ata disadvantage and will be able to prevent their escape, from Pinar del Rio. On board the steamer Olivette, as she was about to sail to-day, Rodriguez Molina and Louis Someilan and son were arrest ed on charges of conspiracy against the Spanish government. Compromising documents connecting the three with revolutionary projects were found on them. They have been Imprisoned, and are not allowed to communicate with their friends. . The passenger train from Cardenas was derailed at Itabo. the terminus of the line, to-day. ami was fired upon by the Insurgents. The engineer and fireman were wounded by rifle bullets. The engine, also, was destroyed and the cars burned. Recruits for the Cnlinn Army. FORT WORTH. Tex., Jan. 15. Within the last ten days two hundred recruits for the Cuban army have left this city for Galves ton, from which point they will embark for the Cuban coast. They wero recruited by cn tsent for the Insurgents, and were most lr Ubcrin men out of work.

Leather Dealers and Importers Who Dragged Down Other Firm Various Troubles. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13. The leather trade of this city was thrown into a state of consternation to-day by the announce ment that the liabilities of Keen, Sutterlee & Co., leather dealers anl Importers, who failed on Saturday, will reach, if they do not exceed. $t,0j0,0O. This statement is made by leather merchants of the highest commercial standing, who afilrm that leather was only one of the various commodities handled by fhe firm. It was a heavy importer cf goat skin3, chemicals, coffees', wool and hides, most of which came from South American ports. Its arriving consignments were very large In many cases, and Its consequent output of these goods was necessarily large, but It was not always a profitable output, say the tradesmen. A majority of the other dealers have known this and have seen sufficiently conversant with the general state of affairs in Keen, Suttarlee & Co.'s business to see' the Inevitable end of it all, and to very few did the failure come as a surprise. Four other leather houses have since gone down in, the crash which wrought the ruin of - the larger firm. These are: John N. Fenlin, with liabilities of nearly lino.000; Chas. W. Landell, J15d,0)0; Chas. Illlngsworth, trading as the Eagle Glazed Kid Company, and John A. Duncan. The liabilities of the latter two houses are not yet known. Frederick W. Sutterlee and John M. Fenlin have not been seen by those with whom they usually associate ince last Thursday. Mr. Sutterlee and Mr. Fenlin were extremely intimate in their business life, as well as socially, and their simultaneous absence has led many to suppose that they have gone together, although Mr. Sutterlee announced his departure in search of health. From whimperings in the trade it would be supposed that many of the men who best knew the concern and its methods are inclined to believe that the failure hinges considerably more on the disappearance of these two men than is commonly supposed. Their remarks would also suggest that the affairs of the concern can never be satisfactorily adjusted until Mr. Sutterlee returns and explains matters of moment. No other failures are anticipated by the various trade merchants who remain above ground financially, and the general feeling is that the leather industry will soon reach a better basis than It had before the failure. CONSPIRACY ALLEGED. Receiver Wanted for the Calumet Iron and Steel Company. CHICAGO. Jan. 13. A bill was filed In the Superior. Court to-dav by Charles Pope, John B. Wilson and Freeman P. Roach, stockholders, asking that a receiver be appointed .for the Calumet Iron and Steel Company. The plant, which is located at South Chicago, is one of the largest In the country, and has a coital stock of $2,200,000. In the complaint it is asserted that the company has a bonded indebtedness of $400,000 and a floating indebtedness of $2S0,000, $34,000 of this being back taxes. The company has been out of business for some time, but the plant Is now in possession of a new corporation under a lease, which the court is asked to set aside as fraudulent. The complainants allege that A. M. and C. S. Wilcox. C. F. Stewart and F. S. Wheelock, although ofllcers and directors of the company, entered into a conspiracy with Columbus It. Cummings to deprive the complainants and other stockholders and creditors of their share of the profits of the company, and, with that end in view, they, in August last, organized the Calumet Furnace Company. C. H. Wilcox became the secretary and general manager of the new company and Stewart is the holder of one-half of its capital stock. The complainants charge that the defendants made a lease of the principal part of the plant of the old company, namely, the blast furnace, the lease being to Stewart and running for three years. The lease was then assigned by Stewart to the new company. The complainants declare this was done without any official action on the part of the directors of the Calumet Iron and Furnace Company, and there is ro record of the action on the books of the company.

THE INDIANA YAZOO

SIIELBYVILLE 3IOI1 GATHERS TO TAIL AXD FEATHER WITNESSES. Lives of Simpson nntl WelrleU in Dan ger from Snloon Keepers Friends Other State "evs. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBY VILLE, Ind., Jan. 13. Never since the days of the election riots of 1SS0, which resulted In the death of "Bud" McCorkle, sheriff of the county, has so much excitement prevailed on the streets of Shelbyville as in the last few days and to-night. As announced in yesterday's dispatches, for two weeks detectives Simpson and Welrick, of Indianapolis, have been here securing evi dence against the saloon men for violation of the liquor law. The cases were continued during to-day before Mayor Enos, who fined Schoelch $20, while Oscar Williams, charged with the same offense, took a change of venue to 'Squire Kenton, and the trial was set for to-night at 7 o'clock. To counterbalance the effect. cf the testimony of the detectives, one of the local papers announces that Simpson and Welrick had been arrested for conspiracy to cause & violation of the law and for perjury, an dl that the trial would occur before 'Squire Thompson at 7 o'clock thi3 evening, and Intimated that a coat of tar and feathers should be given the "spotters." Immediately after dark a crowd began collecting In the street in front of Thompson's office until about two hundred had assembled. As soon as it was announced that the men were at Kenton's office, the crowd turned into a mob and surrounded Kenton's office, filling the stairway, halls and street in front. Night officer Magill served warrants on the detectives, charging them with selling liquor to each other without license. He started t take them before Thompson. Marshal Sparks and others of the city officers, hearing the mob yelling to "Bring them out!" and "Hang them!" refused to permit them to be taken out of the building. Councilman J. R. Stewart went on the bond of Simpson and Welrick for $100 each, and the men remained upstairs until the crowd had dispersed. The officers believed that the warrants were only used as a ruse to get the witnesses Into the hands of the mob and do them some Injury. Marshal Sparks and Deputy Van Way have been with them the entire evening as bodyguards. The saloon men have served notice on Mrs. Darr, who keeps the boarding-house where Simpson and Welrick are stopping, that unless she refuses to keep them longer, they will boycott her house. While no demonstration has been made about the hotel, every approach is guarded to see that the two "spotters" do not get out of town. LETTER FROM CO RE A. XeTT Albany Missionary Writes of the Murder of the Lute Queen. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MADISON, Ind., Jan. 13. Rev. Samuel 'A. Moffett, of this city, who has been for six years a Presbyterian missionary at Corea, Asia, writes a letter to the Courier, which is of peculiar Interest In view of the conflicting telegraph reports from that country. The following are extracts: "During our annual mission meetings oc curred the murder of the Queen with all the political excitement involved. It was a most cowardly act and while we all knew that the Queen was anything but an angel, our sense of justice was so shocked that it threw a gloom over the entire foreign community. The King and his one faithful guard, old General W. W. Dye, were in danger of their lives also and the. King asked Dr. Allen if ho could not have a few of the foreigners come into the palace that there might be some one near him In whom he could place confidence. So we missionaries all volunteered and since then have been taking turns In the palace every night. This enables old Gen eral Dye to get his sleep, and while or course the presence of one or two foreigners is 'no real protection, the moral effect .has been vry great and douhtless has helped to avoid more serious difficulties. "Poor Corea! Once more there seems nothing but darkness, gloom and disappointment before her. The King, his people and many others have all been hoping that England and America would come to the rescue and undertake to superintend the reform of Corea, but it seems that neither can bo relied on to do anything, but give advice. Neither Is ready to do anything which might bring on a collision with another power. Russia and Japan are working hard against each other. Japan Is likely to have everything her own way until Russia gets ready to fight and then no one knows what will come. "While in the palace I was admitted to audience with the King, who seemed greatly pleased that I was able to speak Corean. He and the Crown Prince received us. They are truly, a pitable pair virtually prisoners In their own rooms, with all their enemies in power trying to coerce them Into approving measures that are dastard. They tried to make the King sign a document lowering his Queen to the position of a concubine, but it is reported he said that he would cut off his right arm before ho would sign it. He lacks stamina, but for once seemed to have some decision. Ho is very favorable to Protesant missions, but is so weak that his own wishes and ideas count for little. "The Queen was a power and sho successively outwitted the King, King's father, prime ministers, one after the other, the Japanese minister and one of Japan's greatest men. Count Inouye. She was thoroughly anti-Japanese and stood In the way of their carrying out their schemes. Poor woman! the only way they could get ahead of her was to put her out of 'the way. Seoul Is full of politics and I long to get away from It. We leave this week for Pyeng Yang." n MISS IDA BAKER KIDXAPPED. Cauccht Ont of Doors at Xlelit and Carried Off by n Strange Man. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANSPORT, Ind., Jan. 15.-Near. Walton, this county, Miss Ida Baker, a pretty girl eighteen years old, was kidnapped lvst night, and returned home this morning with a thrilling story of the assault. She makes her home with Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Madden. About 10 o'clock last night Mr. Madden awakened Miss Baker nd asked her to go acrpss the road k the barn-lot and shut off the wind-pump." There was heavy wind and the old gentleman was fearful the pump might be broken. Miss Baker put on her shoes and stockings and threw one of Mr. Madden's overcoats over her night dress. She left the house, and this was tho last een of her until this morning, when she returned suffering under the strain of great excitement and exposure. The girl says after turning off the pump she started to return to the house, when she met a vehicle In the road. A man sprang out, seized her by the throat and choked her Into insensibility. Upon gatnirur consciousness she found herself lying by the roadside, near this city and eight miles from home. She was stiff and cold from exposure, but she managed to walk tho entire distance to the Madden homestead, arriving there at 8 o'clock this morning. She fell unconscious at the door and was carried into the house and given medical attendance. It was three hours before she could give an account of her adventures. Her face was badly scratched, and the marks of the ruffians fingers are plainly visible on her throat, if the villain had evil designs she says he failed to accomplish them. The affair created Intense excitement last night, and when Miss Baker failed to return the neighborhood was aroused and several parties of men set out to search for her. Seme of them were still searching when she returned. Miss Baker is unable to give any description of the man, and no good reason for the assault. It is believed" that the man took Miss Baker for a man and contemplated robbery. The only clew to the man's Identity is that he drove a team of large bay horses. HOW TO MAKE MONEY. Two-Dollnr Illlt nt Martinsville Failing for n Ten. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARTINSVILLE. Ind.. Jan. 13. A twodollar silver certificate of the series of 1531, which had been raised to a ten-dollar bill, was passed on V. N. Olney, a merchant of this city, a day or two ago. The bill was civen to Mr. Olney by Ellerson Gentry, who is a well-known and well-to-do farmer In the west part of the county, and enjoys an enviable reputation. Mr. Olney says he thought the bill looked a little queer when he took it. but, having such confidence in Mr, Gentrj't he took it without closely examining it. Mr. Gentry does not know where he sot the money.

The work of raising the bill was performed very skillfully, but it had not been completed in all its details. In talking of raised bills of money S. M. Guthridge, bookkeeper in the First National, said: "When I was in Washington working for ex-Congressman C. C. Matson a man went to one of the leading clothiers of the city to buy a fine suit of clothes. In payment - for the clothes he presented a $1,000 bill. The merchant accepted the note, gave the man the money in exchange for it and placed the bill in the money drawer. The stranger gave his name and street number to the merchant and told him to deliver the clothes. As soon as the man had made his exit from the store room the merchant took the bill to the nearest bank for inspection. The bill, to the bank officials, appeared to be genuine, and it was quite a while before anything wrong with it could be detected. One little slip of the pen appeared on the bill. The $1,000 note was placed in the

hands of the chief of police, the street and number given him, and, with the purchased clothes, he went to make the delivery. A woman was at the house to re ceive the clothes. She said her husband had bou2ht the clothes, and that he was not in at present. The officer hunted up the man of the house and told mm nis business. The man confessed that he had raised the bill from $100 to $1,000. The won: was done with a pen, and was so cleverly and accurately executed that it required experts to detect the deception. The man was never rnmlshed for raising the bill. but was employed by the government, and is to-day one of the finest ana most skuiful workmen In the department. ' Fee Ferrets In Trouble. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Jan. 15. The affairs of Messrs.

VICE AND MORALITY

POINTS DROUGHT OUT n PI RITY ALLIANCE DELEGATES. The Social Evil in Its Various Phases DlncuMseil Increaslnf? Divorces Show National Decay. NEW YORK, Jan. 15. To-day's session of the American Purity Alliance was taken up with the reading of papers on subjects calculated to have a good Influence in moral and social circles. Rev. W. T. Sabine took as his subject "Social Vice and National Decay." Among other things he said: "Will social vice. work. out .In this country national decay? The large number of divorces would appear" to indicate that such is the case. .The .social, evil. Is undermining our national strength. Our country can hope ftr no exemptfon under the law which has. applied ItselX to other nations. Our Puritan origin and Just and honest laws and Bible-loving ancestors, cannot save us. Social vice Is the parent of national decay." The second paper was read by Rev. S. S. Seward on the subject of "Purity; How Preserved Among the Young." He said-in part: "Man is born neither good nor evil. Mothers cannot exercise too much care In the early moral training of children. She cannot exercise too much care in choosing the companions for her little ones. She should have and retain the confidence of her children." It was expected that Mrs. Julia Ward Howe would read a paper on "Moral Equality Between the Sexes." Mrs. Howe was, however, detained in Boston, and her paper was read by the secretary. "The rigid rule of our Puritan ancestors had, no doubt, some part in calling forth the reaction against ethical stringenc) which has been a feature In a part of our nineteenth century," the paper said. "The Puritans were, Indeed, hard on individual sinners and much of their theology has passed even beyond controversy. But they did not exaggerate the danger which comes to the State with the admission of loose morals. We must cultivate in our young peotle a sense at once of the strictness ot moral obligation and of the largeness of personal relation." Dr. M. L. Holbrook read a paper on "Alcoholism and Chastity." "The use of alcoholic drinks Is one of the strongholds of unchastity," said the Doctor. A paper by Dr. Emily Blackwell was read. Its title was ."Responsibilities of Women in Regard to Questions of Social Moralty." "We want," she wrote, "to make men realize that the only way for women to deal with prostitution is to endeavor to limit the demand by upholding the equality of moral obligation and bringing their whole influence to bear to stamp licence among men with public reprobation." The corresponding secretary, Anna Rice Powell, was the next speaker. She took as her subject "The American Purity Alliance and Its Work." ' Equal suffrage as related to the purity movement was the subject of a paper read by Mrs. Mariana W. Chapman, president of the Brooklyn. Women's Club. Among other things Mrs. Chapman said: "It is a significant fact that the first bill ever Introduced by any woman into a Legislature was for the protection of young girls. Over and over again men who are opponents of women's enfranchisement have said, 'But there are so many bad women who will vote, and we have answered 'We will take care of the bad women if you will take care of the bad men.' " . The last speaker at the afternoon session was Anthony Comstock, who addressed the meeting upon the subject of "Demoralizing Liturature." He said in part: "Systematic corruption of the youth of the country by means of demoralizing publications and the sale of articles for immoral purposes made necessary the work of the Society for the Suppression of Vice. Corrupt literature has caused the harvest of crime, squalor, misery and death which we are considering to-day. The corrupt literature to-day is practically the devil's kindling wood with which he lights the fires or remorseless hell in the soul. The receptive mind of youth drinks In the sensational, foul or criminal story with an avidity that is fearful to contemplate." The evening session opened with the reading of a paper by El bridge T. Gerry, entitled, "Child Saving and Prostitution." In part he said: "The consideration of Juvenile prostitution. Its causes, extent, repression and cure, is one of the most interesting branches of child-saving work. And yet there is something so essentially painful, so abhorrent to purity and decency, so loathsome In its details that the philanthropist shudders when he is compelled to touch the subject. The foul stream of prostitution is fed by countless streams, each pouring its vMe contribution of poison from as many different sources. Youthful prostitution is often due to specific surroundings which lead to the result. One of the most prolific sources of child prostitution are schools. Not simply the public schools, where miscellaneous acquaintance are formed, but too often sehools;where confiding parents place their children in the hope that they will be educated properly and under the best of circumstances. Closely p.kln to the school are the factories. The present law does in a degree limit the age of employment of children in factories, but the immorality which prevails there is utterly beyond belief. Another source and, unfortunately, a very fruitful one, is the stage. I do not refer to what is known as the legitimate drama, but the atmosphere of the theater is by no means conducive to youthful morality and most pernicious are the. exhibitions known as 'leg dramas " "Protection for Young Women In Stores, Factories and Other Public Business Places," was the title of a paper read by Isaac H. Clothier, of Philadelphia. "There can e no doubt," said Mr. Clothier, "that wrong has been done to young and innocent girls by unprincipled men to whom has been intrusted the engagement of the force of employes in large establishments. By this I do not refer to actual and direct ruin, but to loose and coarse disregard of the respect due from all men to all women andv especially from those In authority. From the rude stare, the coarse remark,' the lewd joke, perhaps the familiar and repulsive touch, young women have absolutely no appeal except to throw up their means of livelihood and the first tep is often thereby quite involuntarily taken toward a lowering of self-respect and of that fine Instinct of womanhood which more or less dwells In every woman, and Is at once the charm and preservatjon of the sex." AN ARMENIAN'S SAD NEWS. Members of Ills Family Killed and Hieir Property Stolen CLEVELAND, Jan.. 13. Rev. Sarkls S. Yenovklan, a native Armenian minister, but a naturalized American citizen, is in this city to-day, and has Just received most distressing news from his old home In Marash. Mr. Yenovkian Is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University. His wife and four boys were In Marash on Nov. 18, the date of the terrible slaughter of Armenians. Since that time he has endeavored to return to his family, but could not, owing to a law of the Turkish empire, which prohibits the return of a subject of the Sultan who has been naturalized in this country. He then sought to get his family out cf the stricken country, but, owing to the interna conditions, he found It impossible. He has awaited until to-day for the news of the fate of his family. It was sent to him by a friend from Marash, dated Dec. 12, and is as follow: "The house cf your eldest brother, Bagadaser, after being plundered was burned; he was killed. The property of your second brother. Klragos, is all plundered and his house burned; he is near death's door. Your younger brother, John, is killed and his property burned. The ohaned children are wandering in the streets. The families cf your nearest relatives have been wiped cut. Your own children are wandering helpless In the streets. For God's sake, send us help.". Yenovklan tried to get the aid of Secretary Olney and Minister Terrell In behalf of his familv as far back as the date of the massacre. He was assured by them that the United States government would do all In Its power to render aid to them. Many Armenians Dying:. BOSTON. Mass., Jan. 13.
