May ~.,.-Aiithentle .details of the atrocitj.es COminitted by the ~anatiC!'l Mo~am!,:!ledails in the villages and farms in this district are now c()m- Jng ·into Tarsus with sickening abundance. The worst particulars of these narratives !!annpt be men~ :tloned, but they ·set forth without doubt that at least 10,000 persons lost their lives in this province, SO'!lle estimates placing the total at ~t;,ooo. Vlllages like Osmanieh, Bazsche,. Hamadih,. Kara, Krlstan, Keoy. and Kozolok were actually wiped out. Each of the places had populations of from 500 to 600 people. Other towns with a very much ~1nger pop- ulation, in some cases ,4,00(). or 6,000 \..._:people, suffered .severely. In one town of 4,000 ·people there are less than'lOO left, nearly all women and children. · It was the same thing with the hundreds of chiftllks, of farms, that dot this. wide and fertile plain. The slaughter was unsparing. Even Greek!! and· Syrians were str<uc~ down with the Armenians. Entire fa'!lll· lies were burned to death in their \homes. Hundrel!l! of girls and wom- l'ln were seized itn:d car)•!ed oft to the ha:rems. • · . The correspondent was informed that at one place· a party of 100 Ar- menians surrendered to the soldier~. The prisoners were tak-en to an open -field where the women were ordered to stand apart from the men. Ev- ery one of· the men was then shot. In many cases they were done to death with their women clinging to them, trying to save their lives. A large numher of women were Injur- ed. Turkish young 1 men around Tarsus today are trl!.ding Armenian girls am-png each other for horses . and modern repeating rifles. The entire ten days seem to have been an Insensate orgy· of lnst and vio- lence. In the massacres of fourteen years ago there Wa!! no such desire to kill women. and· children as has been evidenced in the last ten days. There have been ,numerous murdets of women and children with delib- eration and there are instances where women were brought out one by one and shot down, the bystand- ers clapping their hands at each fresh execution. The local authorities are giving four -cents a day for each refugee in Tarsus. There are 40,000 refu- \ .gees here and this sum does nQt suf- fice. The government allotment is being supplemented from funds of the American mission. The local of- ficials say they are soon going to dis- continu!l their contributions and 'if this is done there wlll be a famine. The New Cabinet. CONSTANTINOPLE. . May 4.- ·'l'he new ·cabinet probably will be or- ganized as follows: Grand vizier, Hilmi Pasha; minister of the inte· rlor, Ferid Pasha; minister of .jus-. tice, Kakki Pasha; minister of pub- lic Instruction, Asmi Bey, and min- ister or mines and forests, Aristldi' Pasha. The other ministers will he retained by the last Incumbents. Both Kakki. Pasha and A2;mi Bey are members of the ·committee of Uiiion and progress and it Is expected that this cabinet being thus brought Into harmony :with' the present po- lease of power.
