Desperation and Vengeance Surging In Every Heert—Bulgarian Rebel Band Flying Black Flags—Some Regions Veritable Charnel Houses. Salonica, Macedonia, Sept. 7.—The news dispatches which are now being telegraphed abroad contain but a tou- sandth part of the truth of the atroci ties which have been perpetrated in Macedonian Turkey. I*n fact, it ia not possible to write in the English language, much les-s to put into type the outrages that have been done by the Turks upon the Bul garians—men, wonsen aud children. The Aimerican missionaries cannot protest at this mome>nx effectively against the Turkish atrocities for fear of bringing further attacks on their misfortunes and pupils. i This whole region is a charnel house. Th-e air smells of burning human flesh, of victims immolated in their own homes. The unburied bodies lie among ‘he ruins of countless village ' homes. ! In the mountains the black flags of bands of men w^ho are the brothers, husbands and fathers of the women and children who have met death at the hands of the Turkish soldiers and guerillas are raised. Their black flags tell the story of des- pe'.ioition and vengeance surging in every heart. On one side of the black flag are the initials C. C., standing for Chodada neu Cusijdn—Liberty cr death. On the other si:;e are the Bulgarian words, meaning. “God is with us. Be of good cheer, O nation.” Life for a Life. | Thos^ who bear the black flars are pledged to exact from the Turks a life for every man, woman and child that the Turks them£.elves have so bar barously killed. The insurgent regiments have near ly their full complement of men now. c readyn nvtsaeh hsu.aoseSETAOlN The Bulgarian young men in the towns who have been delayed are making has>te to join their comrades under the , bla-k fiag, to wage open war on the! Turlis. j By a mutAial understanding among i the Bulgarians, one man in each fam-! ily is allowed to stay at home to save : the women and children, if possible, fi'om Turkish rapine and murder. But j tow helpless to protect their families ^ are the handlul of men remaining in | the towns Is shown by the recent mas-, uacres. I Turkish treachery was never more , barbarously shown than at Smilievo, wher-e the Turks had encourageJ the Bulgarian men to go to the mountains, and promised to guard the lives and j ho-nor of their families as they would their own. But whe-n the insn had left the town, robbery and carnage began. IViurdsr of an American Mission Girl, j A fair young girl who was known to have made one of the black flag's for her father and brothers, who had embroidered in those fatal letters, “’Lib erty or Death,” was selected as the first victim of Mussulman hatred. She was a pupil of the American mission ‘ s.chool at Monastir, where she had learned her neddlework. They beat her. tore her clothing off and then drove her through the streets. Hags of the Turkish harems spat upon the pcor creature. An Albanian stab bed her with a bayonet, and finally chopped off her right hand that liai sewed the black flag, and carried the trophy aloft cn his upraised bayonet as he danced through the streets. As the Turks broke into the Bul- ■ garians’ houses at this place, they seiz- , ed the women, tore the earrings from their ears, stripped their outer cloth- ■ ing off. laid these aside as plun:ler, and I then searched for hidden j^.vels and ' money concealed upon the women. In I the end they usually killed the women. and mutilated their bodies. Girls even j of ten-ier age of 10 and 12 years shared I the same fate, in the very presence of their mothers, j The Bulgarian insurgents in the ! neighboring hills, maddened by the 1 eight of their burning homes in Smilie- 1 VO, mustered a regiment under the I black flag and made an assault on the I town. They overpowered the Turkish I eoldiers, kiHing them in the narrow I streets like sheep, giving no quarter to j the destroyers of their homes. Some Bulgarian women in th« vll* 'r<nichers \vi?^hitiir to prepare foi- ^•xaiiiinatioiis should write at oiK!e to l*rol‘. ,T. L. (iraham, I.L.

A. Turk* ' ish soldier, on entering her house, with of their burned homes, uttering the wild cries of maniacs. They have one blow of his sabre, cut off the heaS of a toddling child, and, seiz ing it, hurled it at the mother. The frantic woman caught it to her breast and rushed crazed and screaming from the* house. The passion of the Turks for blood, for killing every living being, no matter how helpless, is owing to their religion. By their sacred book, the Koran, they are taught that every Christian that they kill ad'^s to their own glory anvi happiness after death. So thes<e Mus sulman fanatics know no limit to theii slaughter, while chantl&g, “Gdaours, giaours,” meaning “beinga without souls,” ajid calling their victims dog^ and’ hogs as the butchery goes on. After such horrors as these it is not s-tran-ge that the Bulgarian insur gents have taken vengeance on the Turks. Soldiers beari-ng the black flag recently advanced on three Turk ish villagofl near Ochria and massacred men, women and children. “Puppies make - dogs,” they cried, and slew tlie Turkish babies ju6*t aa their own had been butchered by the Turkish soldiery. The Turk?.,h government’s rage at this retriliatio-n of the rebels Is beyond bounds. It is said that the govern ment will now let loose the whole horde of fierce Albanian brigands, as W'cii. as the outlaws from the Deborah district These are nothing less tnan profes'sion al assassins. The Bashi-Bazouks, who have already been tuined loose upon the Bulgarians, ai'e mere ama teurs in butchery compared with the‘ Albanians and Deborahs. The Sultan Hires Assassins. Many of the Albanian and Deborah' assassins have been sent in small, bands, In the disguise of Turkish citi zens, throughout all the towns of Mace donia. They are ready to strike down in secret any Bulgarian suspected ol being in league with the black flag reg- iments. Or they will start a massacre at the word or nod of a government official. There is no punishment for these as&assins. A ccurtmart!al is unknown here. Being the sec-ret agents of the governm-ent, they enjoy immunity lor all their crimes.. The pay they draw from the bankrupt government is prac tically nothing. They take their pay i-n icot. The Bulgarian insurgents are exact ing an eye for an eye and a tooth for R tooth wherever they can. At Nec-Iani a month ago several vil lagers and their wive.s and cl|ughte"s were killed by two Turks living in the same village. Last Monday fii) ol the Bulgarians left for the mountains to join the rebels. But before start ing they caught the two Turks and killed one of them on the spot where he had wrecked a Bulgarian house- hoW. The other Turk, being much the w-c-i’&e of the two, waa taken tO' the mountains to be tcrtivred before ex-- ecuticn. There is simply no end to the forms of murder that are going on every where. Thirty Bulgarian men arj'est- ed at Resen, on the charge of being traitors, were being marched to prison, at .Monastir. They were followed, by their weeping wlve^. Rolled Stones on Captives. The Turkish soldiers becoming tired of their charges and of the lamcnta*- tions of the women, halted the calva cade in a mountain defile. They then, aniusoi themselves with rolling down huge stones upon the captivrs, men. and women alike, bowling them over like -nine pirns. They finished the hor rible sport by knocking cut the brains of any who showed signs of life as they lay among the mass of rocks and mangled bodies. S^'attered all over t'^l•s region are stone towers, used in times of peace as grain storehous-es, like the eleva tors in the prairie states in. America. These towers have now Dec^wne places- of refuge, where Bulgarian famVuas: gather, and where insurgent troops muster. The towers h^nce beea the scenes of hon-ors. At Demie Hissar, a tower where eight “vebei?."' and their famllft^s were huddled together, was blown up by a dynamite biomb hurled by a Turk. The inmates were annihilated. Anc#her tower in the same dtstrlct wagi destroy ed in a similar way. With Turkish spies everywhere ready to ch^irge any Bulgarian with treason, none is safe. At Zafari ten were killed lately in a manner that is a trevesty on Justice. Four hundred armed Turks came to the village and took up their quarters In the principal khan or inn. The chief sent for ten villagers to be brought before him, among them the khan keep er. A death warrant was read to them all. At its conclusiion the khan k'oeper, as a mark of Turkish esteem, was shot. The others were stabbed to death. Their homes were then de sipoiled. Eleven more Bulgarians w’ere killed in the same way in Moricoo. Clayton Hotel LEADING $1.50 PER DAY HOUSE. COOD ^ Livery Stable ^ m C0NHE6T10* AT REASONJBLE RATES. ' .
