Members OF the several companies Of
the fire department who responded were
surprised to sec many persons hangtng
out OF the windows Of the building the
tiremen thought was on fire. They soon
found there was no blaze.
Difference OF opinion marks the expla-

Rome, Dec. 26.-An exchange of
communications between the Italian
foreign Office and the chancellors Of
other European powers is proceeding
with the greatest activity. The sub
iect of the communications is the war
in Tripoli, but the' question of the re

Germany, Austria Hungary and Italy
also is being discussed.
Efforts are being made both by the
government in Constantinople and the
Italian foreign Office to find pos
sible basis for the conclusion of peace
between the two countries.
The negotiations regarding the Tri-
pie alliance, it is conceivable might
even result in the withdrawal of Italy
from the alliance. and the consequent
strengthening Of the triple entente

BLOODY OUT.
BREAK IN PERSIA
The Streets of Tabriz Have
Been Swept by Russian
Artillery
WOMEN AND CHILDREN KILLED
Proclamation of Martial Law
at Teheran F follows Shusters
Dismissal.

by Special Leased wire TO New Mexican)
Washington, D. c., Dec. 26-Further
than message from American consul
Paddock, at Tabriz, stating that the
entire American colony there was as
sembled on Christmas Gay and that
every one was we'll, the State Depart
ment has heard nothing from Persia.
Officials attribute the lack of reports
from Teheran to the fact that the le-
cation there has assumed that this
government is being kept informed
by the press dispatches.
Russian Re-lnforcements.
Julia, Persia, Dec. 26.--Another
large force OF Russian troops of all
arms left their encampment today ia
the vicinity of Ispahan or Tabriz
The reinforcements consisted OF three
additional regiments of rifles, three
squadrons of Cossacks and two noun
tain batteries. All at war StTeuSIQ.
Serious Apprehension
London, Dec. 26.-The proclamation
of Martial Law at Teheran following
the dismissal of w. Morgan Shuster
by the Persian cabinet and the frag-
mentary reports received as to a
bloody massacre by Russian soldiery
/ at Resht are causing serious appre
hension. Little additional information
regarding the reported massacre has
been received. The main trouble oc
cured last Sunday when the killed
at Resht are said to have numbered
500, including some women and child
ren. Direct dispatches from Teheran
| make no reference to those casualties
and report from the Russian con
sal at that point states that order is
now restored Though he is preparing
for further outbreaks.
The strategetic point of Tabriz, 35C
miles to the northwest Of Teheran, is
another center of constant collisions
between the Russian and Persian ele
ments. One dispatch says the Rus
| sian artillery swept the streets, while
another, through Russian sources
says condition of anrchy exists, even
the banks being without adequate
guards.
