[PKESS ASSOCIATION.] Received Nov. 22, 11.10- a.m ) LONDON, Nov. 21. Reuters Constantinople correspon- '. dont. who visited the San Stefano j camp, says that soldiers on the railI way embankment, 30 feet high, pre- ! r£ nte<* the escape of the inmates. There were appalling scenes within the camp. Bodies were thrown from the trains?/ and lay where they had fallen. Some were on top of the embankment, others had rolled halfway down, and others lay in heaps at the bottom. In one spot 60 lay dead or dying together, huddled apparently for warmth. When the watertank arrived; and the army bread was distributed, some who were able to drag themselves along secured i food. The others remained foodless, i and lay around a condemned well, into which they lowered their long sashes for water, with which they moistened their mouths. Hundreds of dead lay in all directions, and there were thousands, of sick, mostly without shelter. The Telegraph's correspondent de- I Rcribea the square at Hademkeui as resembling a fly-paper covered with corpses and writhing bodies. Some were sitting or kneeling and others lay prone. Dead bodies were piled ut> in heaps in some places the j stretcher-bearers constantly bringing •■ fresh rictims from the camps and forts. All the tracks leading to the impromptu morgua were dotted with bodies.
