Massacre By Turks Inflames Servia.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 26, 1912:
Many Slain at Frontier Town of Sienitza, and Belgrade Demands War.
MOB PARADES THE STREETS
Slayers of Bulgarians at Kotschana to be Severely Punished — Montenegrins Held In Check.
    BELGRADE, Aug. 25.— Telegrams received last night from Sienitza on the southern frontier of Servia say that Turks attacked the town yesterday and massacred many of the inhabitants.
    The news of the massacre caused great excitement in the capital, and the newspapers issued special editions containing editorial demands that the Servian Government protest vigorously to the Porte.
    At a mass meeting held this afternoon to protest against the butchery speakers violently denounced the Turkish Government. Subsequently 5,000 persons marched to the palace and to the Officers' Club, where they shouted their demand that war be declared against Turkey.
    The Servian Cabinet met to-day to discuss the situation, and a report was drawn up for presentation to King Peter, who returned to Belgrade yesterday from his Summer holiday.
    Later advices from Sienitza say that the Mussulman inhabitants of the town opened the arm stores, and after seizing weapons attacked the Christian population.
    M. Popovitch, the Servian Prefect of Barana, was assassinated in front of the courts of justice.
    The Servian populace fled into Montenegro and Servia. The refugees tell horrible tales of Turkish cruelty.
