ARMENIAN ATROCITIES.
WHOLESALE MASSACRES. Press Association.—Electric telegraph.—
London, March 21. The spaclal correspondent of the Daily News in Armenia wires that the Turks obtained the largest number of victims by forming a relief camp for the purpose, so they said, of feeding those who yielded to the authorities. When a large multitude was thus assembled squads of soldiers were ordered to kill a few hundred of the unhappy wretches every night, This continued for ten days, by which time the gathering was wiped out. Previous to the slaughter immense trenches were dug in readiness to receive the bodies of the victims.
