Constantinople February X From
Correspondent of tho Associated Press
It will bo remembered lhat tho aubllme
porta soon after massneros In this country
sent out commissioners to Investigate Into
the disturbances and take measures for
quieting the country Ono group of com-
missioners went to Eiroum nnd entered
the country nt Sassoun nnd cittno to Slvns
This commission from hu interior did Its
work very rapidly spqndlng only a few
days In each of the principal cities on
their route Tho day efter their arrival
they summoned before them a number
of the leading men Moslems nnd Chi
lians Theso wero admitted to tho pres
ence of tho commissioners first tho Mos-
lems nftcrwards tho Christians Tho rij
port says that tho commission said to
tho Moslems Wo did not expect so
much of you but now you have done It
never mind Henceforth ycu must keep
the peace
When tho Christians wero admitted the
commissioners received them standing
nnd at once began to read an address
reciting tho benefits the Christians had re-
ceived during tho reign ot tho beneficent
Sultan Abdul Hamld Khan and tho per-
fidious conduct of tho Armenians who
had started newspapers mid sent men to
Washington and Chicago to agitato and
stir up the nations ngaltist their governor
In conclusion tho report added Here-
after It either the Turks or Armenians
stir up troublo thero will bo no lnve lgn
lions but tho death penalty will bo visited
upon such offenders
After the reading of the address Ab
dulah Pasha began to address the Chris
tians In a much moro violent strain Ho
said If Iho Armenians should uguln begin
to agltnle not even the name of Armenia
would be allowed to remain they would
all bo blotter out r
Drawing himself up to his full height
and stretching out his arm like a sword
ho said What we have gained wo have
gained with blood and when wo glvo up
this morsel wo will glvo It up with blood
blood blood
So far as 1 can learn the commissioners
spent all their time In Mezrrh and did
not even visit tho city of Jim pool which
was plundered and burned although II
Is only two mlle frem Mezreh No qiow
lions were asked of tho Christians sum-
moned before them When the e mmls
loners had finished their speeches Ihey
dismissed them
Another fact of Inteiest Is tho sending
out of offleiils to enroll In the government
lists the names of Chtistlnni who hac
become Mofn Multitudes have been
forcibly conveit to islaamlsm I do not
mom simply that they hao been obliged
to ehooso iMtwccn Itecomlng Moeieins and
lteiiHlimg by the aword but tlmt they have
lMen iMiund or held while the rile of cir-
cumcision wns performed without their
cons lit I know of one eare in which nn
ngul priest was tied to his own door and
dn umclsed while In another village
Christians lagged to lie killed and their
Turkish nclghlmrH said to them No wo
want you to kill tho Infidels wo will muke
you Moslems and they circumcised the
IhrlsllnnH of the place by force The gov
trnimiit has said that theso conversions
wire worth nothing nnd that no one would
be loieed to ehaugn his religion but now
government officials wrlln these as new
converts while the Tutks drive them to
say they are Modems
In tho vllluge of HhelkahJ the officials
said to the Chilsllans I wrlln your
names on a separate list to satisfy the
Turks there Is no forco About It but one
acquainted with Turkish names may ex
I > ect to find these Christians soon enrolled

women loo still cotitlniiis In the city
of Pulu tho Turks carry tiff girls keep
them for a few days nnd return them dis-
