In some cases the Armenians fought desperately. Four hundred soldiers were killed in the attack upon the Ottoman Bank. The bank authorities, fearing that they will be charged with complicity in the outbreak, and having since discovered a mass of dynamite under the main staircase, intend to send all « their Armenian officials abroad.
