The Massacres in Syria
Over 10,000
Armenians
Slaughtered
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 23. Between 10,000 and 15,000 Armenians have been massacred in Syria, principally in the Adana vilayet. The Government has urgently instructed Vali to suppress the disturbances and deal rigorously with the ringleaders. The situation in Tarsus has improved. The reactionaries in the districts devastated spared neither women nor children.
The massacres everywhere were conducted with the greatest violence, and with shouts of, "Not a twig of the accursed race shall be suffered to live."
