The story of the case briefly told is as

both unmarried, lived together in East
Belfast on a farm belonging to Mary

farm and money. AS result of this,
Hartford Shute presented bills to the

TO PROTECT AMERICANS.

Washington, April 20.-To afford all
protection possible to American cit1-
zens and their interests in Turkey, the
administration has decided to dispatch
special cruiser squadron to that
country.
This was decided upon by the cabi-
net today, and after the adjournment
announcement of the intention was
made public. It was explained that this
action was not taken because of any
particularly alarming news that had
been received, but simply as a precau-
tionary measure, 1t being deemed wise
in the present emergency to have suit
able American naval representation In
or near the disturbed districts. The
moral effect of the presence of Amer
lean war vessels will be very beneficial,
it is pointed out.
The squadron will consist of the ar
morcG cruisers North Carolina and
Montana, now at Guantanamo, Cubs.
under command of Capts. Marshall and
Reynolds, respectively. Their immedi-
ate objective point will be Alexandret-
ia on the Mediterranean coast of Tur-
key, which is in close proximity to
Tarsus and Adana, where serious
trouble has occurred.
From Alexandretta the marines on
these vessels may ne available for any
active work in assisting Americans In
trouble in the surrounding districts
Capt. Marshall, who will be in COM
mand of the squadron, viii report to
the American consul at AleXandretta
for any service that he may be called
upon to perform. The vessel also will
be available for dispatch to other
places in Turkish waters should condi-
tons make their presence necessary
The vessels will stop at Gibraltar for
instructions. 1t is hoped at the state
department that the situation will be
under the control of the Turkish au-
thorities very soon and that there will
be no necessity for any demonstration
by the naval authorities.
1t was first suggested that the scout
cruiser squadron, made up of the Sa-
lem, Birmingham and Chester be util-
lied for this mission, but the fact that
the boilers of the Birmingham are I'M
| dergoing repairs would make her i'm
| mediate departure Impossible.
| The principal information coming to
| the department today from Ambassa-
dor Leishman at Constantinople was
| that there was no indication of any
premeditated attack on foreigners.
| During the day Sec. Knox received sew
eral requests that the department use
its efforts to see that American church
interests were given adequate protec-
ton in the disturbed districts. One
came from the chairman of the foreign
missions committee of the Presbytery
of Westminster county, New York. and
another from the superintendent of an
Armenian orphanage at Reading. Pa.
The department already has taken
steps to insure protection to American
missionary and other interests.

OVER 5000 MAssAcRED.

Constantinople, April 20.--No fewer
than 5000 persons lost their lives in the
massacres that have been going on in
the vilayet Of Adana during the past
eight days as a result Of the outbreak
Of Moslem fanaticism. OF this total
1000 were killed in the city of Adana
and of this number more than 200 were
Moslems.
This information was received In
Constantinople this morning through
consular channels.
Adana, at present, is quiet, but there

Aleppo about so miles northeast Of
Alexandretta. The consular advices de-
scribe the situation as very precarious.

port is expected to have tranquilizin3
effect.
Disturbances are reported from HAD
in in the northern extremity OF the
Adana vilayet, where large Armenian
community is counted upon to defend
itself vigorously.
The foreign office, replying to an In
curry made by Ambassador Leishman
regarding the killing at Adana OF AM
erican Missionaries Rogers and Maurer,
says it appears that the two men came
to their death at the hands of Arr
menians who were firing from their
dwellings near where the missionaries
were helping to put out fire in the
house of Turkish widow. The for
eign office lays the entire blame for the
killing of the missionaries on the Ar
menians. .-.
