Impossible Taxes Demanded and Refused by Armenians. MANY THOUSANDS SLAIN Defenseless and helpless they are shot down like so many bnffalo, under the direct ion ofthe Governer of Bitlis. London, November 17. —The Standard’s correspondent in Var na describes the recent massa cre of Armenian Christians as of equal importance with the Bul garian butcheries which led to the Russo-Turkish war. He says: “The trouble began with the re fusal of the Armenians to pay taxes on the ground that the Kurdish raids had so impoverished them as to render it impossible. This probably was true. Troops were sent to enforce the payments, but they were bea'en off. The gov ernor of Bitlis then arrived with an imposing force of regulars. “The people seeing that the struggle was hopeless, yielded, but the governor resolved to make an example of them. He ordered the troops to fire on the defenseless populace, and they obeyed with alacrity. They only ceased when the residents of twenty-five vil lages, numbering some thousands, had been killed. Some reports say 6,000 were slain. Great Britain sent her con sul in Varna, Mr. Hallward, to re port on the slaughter, The British ambassador in Constantinople, up on receiving the report, communi cated it to the porte. The sultan was horrified, and he ordered the local military commander, Seki Pasha, to make his report on the matterat once. “Seki Pasha had been original ly instructed to proceed to rhe scene after the repulse of the troops, but the governor of Bitlis arrived ahead of him. It seems that Seki Pasha’s report confirmed Mr. Hallward’s report, whereupon the governor formulat ed the grave charge that the latter was inciting the Armenians to re volt, thus causing the whole origi nal disturbance This was submit ted to Sir Philip JCurrie, who hag sent out British officials to make inquiries.” Mr. Hagoipian, chirman of the Armenian Patriotic Associa tion in London, has sent Lord Kimberly, foreign secretary, a let ter sent from Bitlis, on Ocbober 9th. Mr. Hagoipian, after declar ing his belief in the reports of the massacre, submits that, in view of the horrible tortures, and perse cutions of the Armenians, the time lias come to abolish the adminis tration of the porte and substitute a regime approved by the signato ries.
