REFUGEES GIVE GRAPHIC
DESCRIPTION OF CONDITIONS

ALEXANDRETTA, Asiatic Turkey,
April 26.-Deurtyal refugees bring
alarming accounts of the situation
there. They affirm that 100000 Arme-
mans are heleaguered by $4,000 Mos
lens. The besieged are half starving
and the conditions within the walls of
the city are pitifui.
1t is difficult for foreign residents
here to credit these numbers. The
foreign consuls estimate about 5000
townspeople and refugees at Duertyal,
with perhaps as many more Turks
threatening them from the outside.
1t is certain there are no Americans
there.
The commander of the British and
other warships at this port have had
under consideration the landing of a
force to relieve the besieged town.
which is within one days march of
Alexandretta, but they finally decided
this was wholly impracticable, as they
had no right to interfere in a purely
internal affair and the government de-
clined to permit the landing of an
armed force.

AMBASSADOR FROM RUSSIA
TO TURKEY is RECALLED

ST PETERSBURG, April 26-M.
Zinovieff, Russian ambassador to Tur-
key, has been recalled and Gen. F. F.
Palitizin has been appointed to that
post.
M. Zinovieff's retirement, it is stated,
is due to his inability to understand
the new condition in Turkey, owing to
his age and long associations with the
sultan, with whom he sympathizes.
The recall of the ambassador has
been contemplated since the revolution
in Turkey last July, and its announce
ment has now aroused rumors that he
was connected with the rising which
has just been put down at CONSTANT
nople.
Gen. Palitizins appointment is taxi
en- as an indication that there will be
no change in the present ministry and
certain high officials express the be-
lief today that M Iswolsky would re-
tain the portfolio of foreign minister
indefinitely.

OIL BARGE GROUNDED ON
SAND NEAR MONTEREY BAY
Roderick Dhu, Valued at 100000,
Goes Ashore on Point
Pinos

SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-The
rugged oil barge Roderick
Dhu. which left this port yesterday,
went ashore early today on Point
Pinos, at the entrance to Monterey
bay, which was the vessels destina-
ton. The Roderick Dhu, which was
empty, had on board Captain Haskins
and a crew of nine men, all of whom
were saved. The vessel was in tow of
the tug Relief, which also grounded,
but succeeded in getting off, and now
is standing by the stranded barge.
At the office of the Associated Oil
company it was stated this afternoon
that according to reports received from
the stranded oil barge Roderick Dhu
the vessel rests on a sandy bottom and
has not been seriously damaged. An
examination has shown that there is
no hole in her bottom and it is thought
she may be saved.
In addition to several tugs the reve
nue. cutter McCulloch will be at the
scene of the accident tonight and a
concerted effort will be made to float
the vessel. The vessel is valued at
$50, 000

1t would be difficult to estimate the
amount of good accomplished in Los
Angeles and vicinity by L. L. Cooper
during his recent visit in this city,
whittier he came to introduce the med
icines which bear his name. During
the early part of his stay, before the
object of his visit was fully under
stood, many held aloof, fearful lest his
claims might prove to be exaggerated.
But as the weeks went by, and the re-
suits of his work daily became more
apparent, he rapidly gained the conf
dence of the public until his head
quarters in the owl Drug store, 625
South Broadway, was crowded at all
hours of the day.
The sale Of the Cooper remedies in
Los Angeles has been tremendous, and
since Cooper's departure for San
Francisco there is no sign of a let
up in the demand forshis preparations.
Cooper seems to have made a lasting
impression and. his visit here will be
long remembered. especially by those
who have regained their health through
his fundamentally.
Among these is Mrs. Alice E. Smith.
formerly of Sierra Madre, now living
at 124 West Thirty-fhird street, Los
Angeles, who. in a statement given for
publication, says: For the past five
years | have suffered terribly as a re-
suit of catarrhal stomach trouble.

Japan DENIES A. Y. p. FAIR

SEATTLE, April 26.-The action of
japanese Consul Tanaka in protesting
against the employment of Japanese, in
native coolie costume, as jinriksha men
at the Alaska Yukon Pacific grounds,
the protest resulting in the concession
being forbidden for the fair manage
ment to employ Japanese. was taken
to carry out the policy of the japanese
national government.
The entire anti-Japanese sentiment
In the United States, said Consul Tana-
ka today, is founded on the theory that
Japanese labor is of low order and
cheaply employed. The Japanese gov
ernments elaborate exhibit at the fair
has been arranged to dispel this idea.

the grounds would defeat the whole
purpose of the exhibit. White men
