"It was small wonder that aa many

government naturally regarded their
course as nothing leaa than treason,
ho when a strong governor-general, the

to punish the robels.
"Three woks ago last Friday the
military head of this revolutionary fac

had sent them to Sbaddakh as Official

"Many of the regular Turkish sol

40 women and children, dying or
