LONDON, June 3.—The Athens correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph says under date of Thursday that it is reported from Constantinople that frightful massacres of Christians have occurred at Samsun and Trebizond, on the Black Sea coast of Armenia. The streets are strewn with the bodies of Greeks, he adds.
Many shops in the two cities have been ransacked, according to the reports reaching Athens. An American destroyer has arrived at Samsun to protect the Americans there, it is added.
