The correspondent of the Times in the Balkan Peninsula stated

in the paper of Tuesday that the Armenian population of Adrianople had been extirpated. The men were deported to Asia Minor. We know only too well what must have happened there. Two sailing vessels carrying women and children foun- dered off Rodosto, and most of those on board were drowned. Other women and children who were deported were sold, mostly to Jews. Some of the Adrianople Armenians were Bulgarian subjects. It will be interesting to see whether the Bulgarian Government are capable of any echo of their old words to Turkey on such subjects as these.
