The Defender Clearly Oatsnlls ind Ont l'olnts tho Ilont Thht Successfully De fended tllo America's Cup In 1803 llor Owners Highly Elated, NEwroitT, II. I., July 15. Tho Dofondor outsailed tho victorious Vigilant in n fair and interesting trial contest yesterday at tornoon off tho Rhode Island coast, and Messrs. Isollu, Morgan and Vondorbllt. tho mombors of tho syndicate, who fol lowed ovory niovomont of both boats, ex pressed thomsolvos as woll ploasod with tho rosult. Tho new yacht again bohavod admirably, and both outsailed and out pointed hor opponent. Tho crow of tho Defondor ruado quick tlrao In bringing hor about agalu, It only requiring olght een soconds to chaugo hor course Tho Defondor arrlvod horo in tow of a tug at 7 o'olock this morning. Captain Haft was In chnrgo, and after spondlng two hours making preparations for a sail waited lor tho Vigilant to put In Her ap pearanoo, Just beforo 11 o'olook tho latter was soon coming down tho bay. Captain Haff at onco gavo orders to get undor way and lay to, waiting for tho Vigilant. As sho approached tho Dofondor's crew hoisted club topsail. Tho Vigilant did tho eniiic, and both boats hoadod soaward, tho Dofender In tho lead. Tho lattor's sails fitted porfeotly. Hor club toponll was much largor than tho Vlgllaut'e and gave her a dooldcd advantaco DEFESDEU. A largo llt'et of yachts, undor steam and sail, Including Mr. Vnnderbllt's Valiant, with hor owner and a small party on board, and Mr. Morgan's Shearwator, bearing Mr. Morgan and a number of frionds, started to follow tho race. Mr. C. O. Isolln was on board tho Dofender, and Mr. Wlllnrd. of Now York, was aboard tho Vigilant Only tho steam yachts followed tho boats tho wholo way. Soon aftor 11 o clock tho boats woro sighted off Castlo Hill, their sails taking a good breozo which came from the north wost, and which was sending thorn both along at a llvoly rato. Tho spinnaker booms woro thon run out to starboard on both yachts. Tho Vigilant broko her splnnnkor, but tho syudlcato boat waited for hor to oomo up. At 11:15, when both yachts woro half a nillo north of Beavertall Light, tho Do fondor broko her splnnnkor and both startod on an evon lino, heading south by enst. During tho noxt fow minutes tho Defender had consldorablo trouble with her splnnnkor and it was taken in three times boforo it fell properly. On this account sho lost ground. Tho Vigi lant's splnnnkor was much larger, but it did not draw as well as tho Defender's aftor It was adjusted. At noon tho Vigilant hauled In closorto tho other yacht and it was pccii that tho Defender was a trifle ahead. At 12:00 p. m., -after having run eight mllo3 in ufty ono minutes, tho Vigilant took in her splnnnkor and headed toward tho Nnrro gnnsett shoro. Tho Defondor Immediately followed. When they enmo about, tho Vigilant was two lengths ahead, with tho wind on tho beam, Tho Dofendor nt onco bogan to crawl ahond from leoward, soon opening a space of two lengths botween her and the Gould boat. In a fow mlhutes mora tho distance was doublod. Both boats woro thon carrying balloon Jibs. At 13:20 tho Dofendor cumo about and sot hor jib and skysall, and hauled down tho balloon jib. Tho baby jib topsail was also sot. The Vigilant camo about sovcu minutes later and sot tho snmo sails. Her jib topsail was nearly twlco tho slzo of the Defender's. Both boats pointed woll, but tho Defondor showed marked superiority in this respect as well as in speed. At 12:48 thoy camo about on tho port taok, tho Dofondor far ahead and well up to tho windward. Tho latter camo about and pullod away tn elghtoen soconds. Both contlnuod on tho samo leg until alter 1 oclocK, whon u squall was soon coming from tho south ward. Tho Vlgllant's commander at onco came about, took In her boadsalls and sho was takon In tow by her tondor. Tho latter beaded for Now London. With tho squall camo a shift ot wind from tlio south. The Dofondor took In her olub top sail and sot hor working topsail, oame about and put to soa, In a twelvo knot breozo. In order to show Messrs. Morgan and Vandorbllt what sho could do, aftor mak ing a long reach, sho bonded for Point Judith, which the Vigilant was about rounding In tow of tho tendor. Tho Vig ilant was soon overhauled, and, appar ently anxious for anothor brush, tho lat- tor again got under sail, am aitor a short trial, in wbloh sho was again beaton. the Vigilant gavo up tho raco and tho Dofender returned to Newport. The crew of tho Defondor speak In high terms of hor bohavior, and all those who Baw tho yacht yestorday ozpross confi dence in her ability to beat anything In hor class. sSIr William llnrcourt'i Defeat.

The Sassoun Massaoro Was Oarc- fully Planned by Turkey, BODIES SATURATED WITH OIL IJirRo Quantities Wero Tnlceti Into the Country llefnro the Uprising of tho Kurds for the Purpose of Aiding In the Horrible) Work of Destruction. Lokdon, July 15. Wrltlnff from Van, Armenia, under ilnte of July 5, the special correspondent of the Associated Press says: Tho Sassoun innssacro, it would appear, was ono of tho most carefully planned outrages in history. Tho ovidenoe of this is circumstantial only, but it is nlleged to be nono tho Ins conclusive. During tho months of June, July and August preceding tho Sassoun massaoro tho Kurdish chiefs in tho country sur roudlng the Sassoun region, and particu larly the districts In tho southward and southwestwnrd, woro apparently unusu ally busy In gathering up tho sonttored warriors of tholr tribes for nn Invasion of tho Sassoun region. In July and August enormous quanti ties of petroleum wero shipped from Er ceroum to Moush. This petroleum camo originally from Russia to Erzeroum, and so grcnt was tho quantity brought over tho mountnln roads that It was n subject of remark to very many persons. Moush docs not use ngreatquantlty of petroleum hersolf, nor do hor merchants sell much of It to tho surrounding country. In the villages candles of sheep fat oil aro used for lights. What Moush wanted with those countless cans of potroloum was a mystory. But tho mystery was a mystery no longer nftor tho Sassoun massacre, for that potroloum was used to burn the houses of tho Sassoun villages and to cremato tho bodies of the wretched vil lagers who foil victims to tho awful butchery. In burning tho houses tho pe troleum was thrown upon tho woodwork; in generous quantities and sot on fire, with tho result thut everything that coultl burn went up in smoke. In cremating: the dead tho bodies wero In many cases placed betweon layors of wood nnd built up Into a sort of funeral pyro. The en tire mass was then saturated with potro lcaum nnd set on Are. It Is charged that living men wero cremated in tho samo way. But this was a merciful way of putting the unfortunate creatures to death in comparison with tho tortures In flicted upon many others. A fow weeks prior to tho boginnlng of tho Sassoun massacrethcro was an unusual demand for horses for the army. Thin demand was not confined to tho city of Moush, nor yet to tho province of Bitlls. In tho caso of horses owned by Armonlans. no protenso was mado of paying for them. Tho press gang simply took them wherovor thoy happened to bo found and said no more about it. In many Instances horses wero seized as they woro carrying Inmlq through tjio city streets. Th lnnd wero dumped off into tho streets and tho horses takon nway. For tho owner to protest t j tho government was so mu-li biouth wasted. Tho horses thus seized, It is claimed, woro used by tho Turkish troops in the Sassoun massacre. Tho massing of troops near tho Sas soun roglon, nnd particularly nt Moush, was carried on for somo tlmo boforo tho beginning of the massacre, in ordor that everything might be In readlnoss, accord ing to tho program said to havo been care fully mdo out at Constantinople. Soveral wcoks after tho Sassoun massa cre, It is claimed, orders wero sent from thopalaco ut Constantinople! for a massa cre of tho inhabitants ot Modlkan, a dis trict lying to tho south and southeast of Sassoun, but whon it was scon that an in vestigation of tho SaBsoun affair was In evitable tho order, it is said, was recalled, and Modlkan was not molested, except In tho ordinary course of the persecution genoral In all parts of Armonla. At about the same tlmo, it is assorted, preparations wore being mado to massacre tho inhabitants of Sassoun tho Turkish government tried to induco the Kurds to massacro tno Armenlnn luliamtants or the Nourdouz roglon, which lies almost directly south of Lako Van, but the Kurds refused to have anything to do with tho work. It is charitablo to supposo that tho refusal of tho Kurds was duo to feelings oC humanity, but it Is moro than likely that thoy regarded such a courso as killing tho gooso tfiat lays the golden ogg, for If tholr Armenian vassals woro killed off thoy themselves would bo reduced to the ne cessity of working for a living. In 1893, it is added, an attempt was made by tho Turkish govornment to extermi nate the Sassoun people; but, on this oc caalon tho work of extermination was en trusted to tho Kurds, with the result that tho lattor got decidedly tho worst of it. Aftor a prolonged attack on the village of Delvorig, In the center of the Sassoun roglon, during which many Kurds were killed, tho attempt was abandoned. But the evonts of 1891 would seem to show that It was merely postponod until mora thorough preparation for tho complete an nihilation of the Sassoun poople could bo mado. In tho city ot Van at this moment there are 600 young men sworn to give them solvos ns a sacrllloe to Turkish butchery, In the hope that tho attention of England may bo mora strongly called to tho des perate situation of these people An Indian Ood.
