Misery In Constantinople.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 12, 1912:
Refugees Continue to Arrive — Reports of Massacres Corroborated.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Tuesday, Nov. 12.— The Daily Telegraph's Constantinople correspondent wires via Constanza:
    "Constantinople presents a very mournful aspect.
    "Mussulman families from the country, worn out with hunger and fatigue, continue to flock into town.
    "All the hospitals are filled with wounded to such an extent that it is impossible to give them all proper attention, and in certain hospitals gangrene has begun to make its appearance. Pitiful cases are related of soldiers dying, not from wounds, but from starvation.
    "To crown all these calamities, the authorities now admit an outbreak of cholera.
    "Constantinople, however, remains perfectly calm, and no single case of aggression is reported. At the same time there appears to be no doubt that in the immediate environs, for example at Silivri, on the Sea of Marmora, a few miles from Tchatalja, massacres have taken place, and details given in connection with the Silivri affair contain a fact which is perhaps presented for the first time in Turkish history, namely, that the massacres were not political, but religious, as it is announced that Greeks, Armenians, and Jews were killed indiscriminately."
