Outrages in Armenia.
Nine hundred people are said to have been massacred in Trebteond. The Armenians at fiitlis attacked the Mahomedans while they were at prayers, and in the conflict many were killed on either side. An outbreak has occurred at Moosht Fourteen members of the Sultan's household were suspected of treason, and died the same day, whereby the Sultan's mind was relieved. News has been received in London of farther outrages in Armenia. The Moslems fired several villages between Erzeroum and Trebieond, and shot many Armenians. They burned young men, and outraged and horribly mutilated women. Al» together 150 deaths are recorded. I Mr Gladstone, in a letter declares that God has given the Sultan of Turkey as a curse to mankind, and he hopes God will, in His mercy, speedily end him. The details of the massacre in Trebizond are appalling, and rival even those of the slaughter committed by the Turkish soldiery in Armenia.
