CONSTANTINOPLE, May 24
Mrs. Doughty Wylie, wife of tho British Vice-Consul at Adana, a heroine of the massacres, writes a hideous account of the atrocities. She states that the Armenian quarters were fired with kerosene. Then Turks murdered ■children in tho presence of their mothers and violated wives while their husbands were dying. The authorities ■contented themselves with torturing unoffending Armenians into confession. Measles and dysentry are rife. Children are without milk, and the only relief possible is handfuls of rice and fragments of bread.
