Americans to Be Protected.

Washington, D. c., April 21.-
To afford all protection possible to
American citizens and their interests
in Turkey, the administration has de-
cided to dispatch a special cruiser
squadron to that country.
This was decided upon by the cabi-
net today. 1t was explained that this
action was not taken because Of any
particularly alarming news, but as a
precautionary measure. The moral
effect of the presence of American
war vessels will be very beneficial,
it is pointed out.
The squadron will consist of the
armored cruisers North Carolina and
Montana, now at Guantanamo, Cuba,
under command of Captain Marshall
and Captin Reynolds, respectively.
Their immediate objective point will
be Alexandretta, close to Tarsus and
Adana, where serious trouble has oc-
Cured.
Captain Marshall, who will be in,
command of the squadron, will report
to the American consul at Alexandret-
ia for any services that he may be.
called upon to perform.

5000 BALES OF COTTON
BURNED IN ARKANSAS

Little Rock. Ark, April 21.-Five
thousand bales Of cotton, estimated
in value at S25O,OOO, were burned
early yesterday in a fire, which for
several hours threatened to destroy
the plant of the st. Louis Compress
company, valued, with its contents at
$l,000000 The fire was discovered
shortly after l o'clock, and famed by
stiff wind, gained quick headway
and was soon beyond control. After
it had burned for almost two hours,
a sudden shift in the wind diverted
the blaze from the main portion of
the building, in which were stored
$4,000 bales of staple, and the fire
was finally checked shortly after 3
o'clock. The loss is fully covered by
Insurance.
While the origin Of the fire has not
been definitely ascertained. the su-
perintendent w. T. Black. thinks that
a spark from a passing locomotive
might have been responsible.

them in corroborating the story of
