THOUSANDS ARE SLAIN
BY FANATICAL M0SLEMS
IN UPRISING OF TURKS

BEIRUT, April 25.-The situation in
Asiatic Turkey is serious. How
many thousands have been mas
sacred cannot be estimated even, be-
cause the disturbances have been so
widespread it is impossible to obtain
details of the happenings.
The latest estimates of the number
killed In the Vilayet of Adana reaches
approximately $4,000, and thousands
have been killed in towns of other dis
tricts.
The state of siege at several places
has brought the inhabitants near star
walton, and each day brings it's tales of
further atrocities and the depths of
misery and despair to which the saw
agery of the fanatics has brought the
people.
Several warships are now in these
waters, but the disorders are so far
reaching the efforts of the powers to
restore normal conditions hardly have
been felt

rived today and left almost Immediate

gees are pouring in.

the more important points.
One of the missionaries at AleXan-
dretta, Mr.. Kennedy. with $50 Turkish
troops, has gone to the relief of Deur-
tai, an Armenian village on the coast,
where 10000 persons within the walls
are besieged by immense bands of
Kurds and Circassians. Only two days
ago a British warship returned from
that place, the governor of the district
having refused the commander permits
sion to land relief party.
The water supply has been cut off
from the town and the besieged are suf-
fering greatly. The children are drink
ing out of animal tracks after a
shower.
There was incessant firing on Greek
subjects, sent under an escort. yester-
day.
The Armenian village of Kessab has
been burned. All of the men and many
women and children have been slain.
The American property at Kessab was
destroyed, but Miss Chambers. an
American missionary, is reported to be
safe.
A British warship has gone from
Alexandretta to Sudan, where condi-
tions are said to have become worse.
All the property of the Christians at
Djebel Bereket has been demolished
The total loss is not known, but is
enormous.
Reports state that Hadjin. vilayet of
Adana, is on fire. There are five Ameri-
can women quartered there, including
Miss Lambert who has been sending
out appeals for help Miss Virginia A.
Billings and Miss Bowman. The au-
thorities have refused permission to
Messrs. Lawson and Chambers, also
American missionaries, to go to their
relief.
Frantic appeals for protection and for
food are coming in from all sections.

MIKADO'S VESSELS
Big Boats Arrive Early, but Dense Fog
Prevents Entrance Into Har-
Dor Until After II
o'clock

Americans who went down to the ships
the Japanese, decked out in their best,
were very numerous and happy.
Especial interest centers AROUND
these vessels because they are prizes
of war. The Also was the Bayon, a
7726-ton Russian cruiser, while the
Soyo was formerly the Variagu, $500
ton cruiser.
Both ships were captured in the Rus
sian-Japanese war, and the little brown
men are very proud of these boats fer
that reason.
Somewhat similar in design, little diff
ference is noted in the cruisers, each
having four tunnels and being painted
the war color of dark gray. But the
Aso is the larger of the two and some
what better equipped. The officers,
quarters are specious and well fur
nished
There are some twenty officers on
each boat, and on the Aso there are
ninety-four midshipmen, while ninety
two midsflpmen are on the Soyo. Thest
midshipmen are graduates from the
Japanese naval college, located on Eda-
jina island, and all speak fairly good
English. There are nearly 1000 sailors
on the two ships.
To Remain Until Thursday
The armament is similar to that Of
the United States cruisers. The for
ward and after turret guns are all s.
inch, while rapid fire guns protrude
from the portfolios amidship. The YES
sells will remain until Thursday, when
they will proceed to San Francisco and
from thence to Puget sound.
The entertainment of the officers has
been provided by the chamber of COM
merce of Los Angeles and will include
a big banquet at the Jonathan club and
numerous automobile rides and trolley
trips.
Tuesday the Pasadena board of trade
will entertain the officers at a noon
day luncheon, to be followed by an
automobile ride around the city of Pas
adena. Other entertainment has been
arranged for the cadets and the sailors
by the Japanese association.
Visitors will be received aboard to-
morrow. Two lines of launches are be-
ing run from San Pedro. The Fifth
street line opened today with Accent
fare and the line from First street
charged so cents, but later in the after
noon, when the crowds were the
thickest, the fare was reduced to 25
cents by both companies and the state
ment is made that this low rate will be
maintained
Visitors Buy Post Cards
Some disappointment was manifested
by the many sightseers who were un-
able to go aboard the vessels today, but
most of them were content to take the
launch ride around the big warships.
Liberty was granted to 250 men off
each ship at o'clock, and the streets
of San Pedro were filled with the sailor
boys and midshipmen. The first at
traction ashore seemed to be the postal
card stores, which were besieged by the
cadets and sailors alike for colored
cards to mail home to Japan.
