Teheran, June 24.-After bloody
hight, which was waged around the
parliament building, the city was COM

his ship.
Most Of the passengers on the
L4arache were residents of the Argen-
tine Republic The Larache was little
more than an old tub and she proved
a veritable deathtrap when she struck
on the rocks near Muros. She sank
in a few minutes, leaving the pass
gers and crew struggling in the water.
The small boats on the Larache were
either smashed or capsized. There
was a fleet of fishing boats in the
neighborhood and these rushed to the
rescue, but the heavy fog prevailing
seriously interfered with their work.
The fishermen succeeded in rescu-
ing sixty-five persons. In addition to
the captain the ships doctor and the
first officer were drowned. The dis
aster occurred at 5 o'clock in the
morning and most of those who were
saved are without clothing. 1t has
been ascertained that the number of
passeng and crew Of the Larache
totalled $50. Sixty-fye persons are
known to have been saved, but the
fate Of the other eighty-fve is not
known and it is feared that most of
them persisted

concerning the events in Caracas. so

Some interest was attached to the
TACT that In ordering the Marietta

The reason given for this course was
that there was no further use of the
gunboat to ply between Puerto Cabel-
