I need not state that, if stronger measures are not taken to check this lawlessness,
the Caza of Silivan, which lately appeared to be comparatively tranquil, will soon

Inclosure 2 in No. 9.
Acting Consul Hampson to Sir IV. White.
gj r Erzeroum, January 30, 1891.
I HAVE the honour to inform your Excellency of an incident which I learn on
reliable authority from Bitlis.
A band of thirty mounted police which were on the march were billeted for the
night in a small Armenian village (name not stated) of ten houses, a few hours distant
from Bitlis. Eour of them were quartered in the house of a young married Armenian.
Overhearing them discussing plans against his wife’s honour, he secretly sent her to
the house of a neighbour. When the zaptiehs learnt this, they ordered him to send
for her, and, on his refusing to do so, beat him most cruelly. He fled to a neighbour s
house, hut, two days later, died from the effects of the ill-treatment which he had
received. Eour doctors, three of them Turks, the other a Christian, examined the
body, and the latter had the courage, in the face of the opinions given by the others,
to certify to the real cause of death. . , . •
In the houses where the other zaptiehs were quartered their designs against trie
female members of the families were carried out without resistance.
I shall request Her Majesty’s Vice-Consul at Van to make further inquiries intc
this case, and will inform your Excellency of the matter.
I have, &c.
(Signed) CHARLES HAMPSON.
