THE ARMENIAN ATROCITIES.
♦ MR GLADSTONE'S DENUNCIATION. THAT "UNSPEAKABLE TURK" AGAIN. [Per Press Association.] LONDON, December 30. Mr Gladstone, replying at Hawarden to a deputation of Armenian delegates, said thati the Sultan denied the atrocities which occurred in Bulgaria *in 1876, and which were afterwards proved in evidence. His prevarication on that occasion pointed to the conclusion that the massacres in Armenia were a repetition of what had occurred in Bulgaria. The Turks were a scourge to the world by their misdeeds. He had personally seen their territory reduced by one-half, which, he claimed, was God's decree against their cruelty and injustice. If the present reports were true, the Turkish Government were a disgrace to civilisation, and were the curse of mankind.
