CONSTANTINOPLE, June 11, 1909 (UP) - The Russian ambassador Friday sent a protest to his government against the continuation of the massacre of Christians in Asia Minor. He says Russian agents sent to Asia Minor have reported that 100 Christians have been killed within the last few days near Alexandretta alone, many of them almost under the eyes of the commission set up to investigate the slaughter of a few weeks ago.
Grand Vizier Hilmi Pasha has given fresh pledges that the killing of Armenians will be stopped immediately, but the Russian ambassador is skeptical of the grand vizier's ability to keep his promise. It is now admitted that it will be months before normal conditions are restored. The Mohammedan population is still inflamed, and whenever the vigilance of the troops is removed, serious outbreaks occur.
