MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS.
Constantinople, July 26.
The massacre at Erzeroum was more extensive than at first supposed. Forty persons were killed and 350 woundedj while 100 pre missing. Up to the present no Turks have been arrested. Poisoned fruit was sold to the Christians, and the mob plundered Christian shops. Guards protected the Russian and French Consulates, but the windows of the residence of the English Diplomatic Agent were broken, and the Consul and his family remained bidden in a cellar for many hours. Fresh troops were called out and suppressed the riot, It is asserted that some Turkish troopers assisted in the murder of a dozen Christians.
