Story of the Massacre
Told by an Eye-Witness
Armenians Shot Down by American Missionary's Side
While Begging Official to Protect Them "Adana
Was a Hell" Military Commander a Craven.
Adana, Asiatic Turkey, via Con
stantlnople. The Rev. Herbert
Adams Gibbons, of Hartford, Conn., a
missionary of the American Board Of
Foreign Missions stationed here and
at Tarsus, was an eyewitness of the
scenes of terror and destruction at
the centre of the Moslem uprising.
He gives the following story of mas
sacre, rapine and Incendiarism:
"The entire vilayet of Adana has
been visited during the last five days
with a terrible massacre of Armen
ians, the worst ever known In the his
tory of the district. The terror has
been universal, and the Government
is powerless to check the disorder.
Adana, the capital of the province,
has been the storm centre.
"Conditions have been unsettled
for some time past, and there has
been animosity between Turks and
Armenians, owing to the political ac
tivity of the latter and their open
purchasing of arms.
"Early last Wednesday morning,
while I was In the market, I noticed
that the Armenians were closing their
shops and hurrying to their homes.
An Armenian and a Turk had been
killed during the night, and the
corpses were . paraded through their
respective quarters. The sight of the
dead Inflamed the Inhabitants, and
crowds at once began to gather in
the streets armed with sticks, axes
and knives. A few young Armenians
assembled In the centre of the cov
ered market and began firing revolver
shots into the air. By 11 o'clock In
the morning the crowd had begun the
looting of shops.
Military Commander In Seclusion.
"The military commander of Ada
na was by my side In the market
when the firing commenced. He had
not the courage to endeavor to dis
perse the mob; he returned to his
residence and did not venture out
for two days.
"William Chambers, Field Secre
tary of the Young Men's Christian
Association, and myself proceeded to
the Konak and found a howling mob
demanding arms with which to kill
the Olaours. We then went to the
telegraph office to summon the Brit
ish Consul. On the steps of the
building we saw three Armenians
who had been killed. Their bodies
had been mutilated. While we were
in the telegraph office a mob burst
Into the room where we were and
killed two Armenians before our eyes.
The unfortunates were supplicating
the protection of the Vail when they
were struck down.
'We managed to make our way
Into the" neit room, where we made
resentatlons to the Vail. This of
ficial said he could do nothing. He
was afraid for bis own life, and he
made no attempt to protect us. Some
how we managed to get to the inte
rior of the Konak, where we re
mained at the side of the Govern
ment officials for the next forty-eight
hours. ' , . i,'-
"That afternoon the situation grew
distinctly worse. The Armenians,
withdrew to their quarter. Ot Adana,
which is situated on a hill, and con
verted the houses .that held advanta

the fighting went on for two days,

resident, where many refugees has
been received. The wife of the Brit
ish Vice-Consul, who was brought
Into Adana under fire on Thursday,
tended personally to many wounded
women and children.
"Adana was a hell. The bazaars
were looted and set on fire. There
was continuous and unceasing-shooting
and killing in every part of the
town, and fires raged in many quar
ters. "Moslems from the neighborhood
began pouring into the city, and not
withstanding our protests, the Vail
distributed arms to these men, alleg
ing that they were Turkish reserves.
"Major Daughty-Wylie, at the head
of troops which he compelled the
Vail to supply, went to the railroad
station of the town and waa success
ful in preventing the villagers from
coming into Adana. Later, while the
Major was attempting to pacify the
town he was shot and disabled.
"Missionaries of -the Central Tur
key Mission had assembled tor a dis
trict conference in the centre of Ad
ana on the day of the outbreak. They
received and protected hundreds of
refugees in the American Seminary
for Girls,, and courageously endeav
ored to pacify the warring elements.
Missionaries Treacherously Killed.
"On Thursday Daniel Miner Rog
ers and Henry Maurer, American mis
sionaries, were killed under treacher
ous circumstances.
"On Friday the Armenians yielded,
since when there has been little mur
dering. "Adana is in a pitiable condition.
The town has been pillaged and de
stroyed, and there are thousands of
homeless people here without means
of livelihood. It is impossible to es
timate the number of killed. The
corpses lie scattered through the
streets. Friday, when I went out, I
bad to pick my way between the dead
to avoid stepping on them. Saturday
morning I counted a dozen cartloads
ot Armenian bodies In one-half hour
being carried to the river and thrown
Into the water. In the Turkish cem
eteries graves are being dug whole
sale. "The condition of the refugees Is
most pitiable and heartrending. Not
only are there orphans and widows
beyond number, but a great many,
even the babies, are suffering from
severe wounds.
"The situation in Adana itself is
unspeakable. On Friday . afternoon
250 so-called Turkish reserves, with
out officers, seized a train at Adana
and compelled the engineer to convey
them to Tarsus, where they took part
in the complete destruction of the
Armenian quarter of that town, which
Is the- best part ot Tarsus. Their
work of looting was thorough and
rapid. . It is said that they spread
with kerosene and fired the great his
toric Armenian Church at Tarsus, the
most Important building In the city.
They demolished marble statues and
shattered important historic tablets.
Everything - portable was carried
away, but the church Itself resisted
their attempts to burn It Fortu
nately few persons were killed here.
This was owing , to the 'proximity ot
the American College, where 4000
destitute and homeless persons had
sought and found shelter."
