By n Supposed Ineendlnry
at Saloniea.
Salonica, Sept. 6.—Fires broke
almost simultaneously in four different
parts of the town Friday, and did a
large amount of damage.
The Greek and Jewish quarters are
devastated. It is supposed the fires
were set by incendiaries. The govern¬
ment at Athens will send two war ships
to the port to protect the Greek sub¬
jects.
All the consulates, the cathedral and
most of the public buildings hare been
destroyed. Twelve thousand houses
are in rains.
_
Salonica’s population is about 70,000,
of whom 30,000 are Turks, 20,000
Greeks, and 20,000 Jews. Its chief in¬
dustry is commerce. Next to Constan¬
tinople, it is the greatest port in Turkey.
A railroad leads north, connecting with
the continental system. Austria, Servia,
Bulgaria and Greece covet Saloniea and
its magnificent harbor.
DISASTR OUS FLOODS.
Grant Destruction In South Germany, Bo¬
hemia and Elsewhere.
Berlin, Sept. 0.— Havoc has been
caused by floods in the southern part of
Germany. The crops are-spoiled, and
railway communication is stopped. The
lake of Constance is higher than it has
been since 1770. Navigation is com¬
pletely stopped.
The Drave river has overflowed its
banks, and vast tracks of land in Carin-
thia have been laid waste. The rains in
the valleys of the Danube and Moldaa
ceased at noon Thursday. The floods
have out off all communication between
Vienna and the Bohemian Spas.
At Prague.
Prague, Sept.. 6.—Two more arches
of the Charles bridge have collapsed.
The monuments on the bridge were de¬
stroyed. The inhabitants of the flooded
district aretaking refuge on the house
tope. The dam of Prince Schwarzen-
berg’s great fish pond at Wittingau has
burst. The Rosinberg dam at the
largest of the lakes on the Schwaraen-
berg estate has burst. Alarm guns were
fired to notify the people in the vicinity
of their danger. Conflicting reports
have been received regarding the loss of
life resulting from the collapse of the
Charles bridge. The latest news is that
three lives were lost.
Great distress prevails in consequence
of the flood. No newspapers appeared
Thursday, all the offices having been
flooded.
The condition of affairs here is rapidly
becoming worse. The water is still
rising and rushing torrents, impassable
by boats, have converted whole blocks
of houses into islands.
ARMENIAN REVO LUTIONISTS
Inn* a Manifesto to tl&o People of the
Country.
Constantinople, Sept. C.—The Ar¬
menian revolutionary party has issued a
manifesto, which is being secretly and
widely distributed throughout the
country and reads as follows:
Fellow-countrymen— Our brethren are
being daily massacred, their homes and
property usurped and burned, our sisters
torn from their homes by barbarians. The
soil of our motherland, once the sure asy¬
lum of all sufferers by tyranny and out¬
rage, is now carpeted by the corpses ot
our countrymen; its plains inundated by
Armenian blood and our fair Armenia
transformed to an arena for butchery.
The soldiers of Turkey are annihilating
instead of protecting us, and massacre
follows massacre. Erzeroum and Moush
are the scenes of thestfbarbarous acts, and
the entire land is under the severity of
martial law, and hundreds of our brethern
are pitilessly shot down or thrown into
dungeons to rot
Therefore we Armenians, being exposed
to this daily slaughter, have no other
course left but to enter the desperate
straggle against our savage oppressors.
The memorable demonstration of the
15th of Jmy in every metropolis of the
Ottoman empire, when we made a gallant
stand for liberty, showed our inextin¬
guishable vitality, and this unprecedented
event raised the hopes of all Armenia.
Let all sons of Haik and the expatriated
exiles of our once independent country,
rush to the rescue ol their struggling
brethren and exterminate this govern¬
ment of bloodthirsty brigands. Let us
close our ranks, and with our legions
strong and disciplined, under the banner
of onr fatherland, march against the op¬
pressors. Then those villages and cities
which the vile Turkhas rendered desolate
and uninhabitable,' will once more be
transformed to a paradise.
