provinces on the Adriatic. German and Austrian subjects are seeking safety in flight and are returning to their former homes via Switzerland In the past week thousands of Ger. man women and children have cross. ed the border, while the men remain. ed to close up their business affairs and they, too, are now crowding to the line panic-stricken by the evi' dence of popular feeling in Italy de- manding a war against Austria.
 The greatest excitement prevails in official circles and the war office is busy day and night with officers of the army and navy holding confer ences and planning the moves to be taken the moment the official declar- ation is made. The fleet has been concentrated but the Navy Depart ment refuse to allow the publication of news regarding naval movements or the points at which the army is being concentrated.
 The whole army of Italy, including the thousands of new recruits, have been equipped with the latest and best fire arms, the storehouses of the country have been filled with war mu. nitions, which have been gathered from all parts of the world, but most ly from France, England and the Un. ited States.
 It is estimated that fully 150,000 head of horses have reached here from the United States, Canada and Africa. Every ship coming from America has brought large supplies of arms and ammunition, the latter of which has been greatly needed. All the reserves in foreign countries have been recalled and are now with the colors, while the army has been mobilized at several points but the greater force near the Austrian bor- der, where the Austrians have con- structed huge defenses along the frontier.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The De- partment of Commerce has had drawn the plans for the new coast survey boat which was authorized by con gress at its last session and the Pa cific coast boat builders are to be given an opportunity to bid on the vessel and will be allowed discount over the price that would be paid for the same ship to eastern builders be- cause of the expense of sending the boat from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

TURKISH TROOPS

 At Washington.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-Consular

WASHINGTON. April 21.-Consular dispatches reaching the State Depart ment from Urumiah, northwest Per- sia, state that the Turkish troops now reaching the scene have established order and that the massacreing of Christians has been stopped. Dr.. Harry P. Packard, of the American mission at Urumiah, is safe, as are all the other American missionaries.
 The report indicates that thousands of Persians, who had been converted to Christianity by the mission work CTS, have been killed by the Kurds, who have been rioting and massacre ing since late in March.
 "The term Christian" in the dis patches includes not only the Ameri- can missionaries and those of other countries, but also numbers of Armen- ian and Assyrian Christians, and al- so large proportion of Jews, all these sects being, in the eyes of the Mohammedans, infidels, and members of the same faith, upon whom the Holy War was declared by the "Je. had" or call of the Sheik-ul-Islam.
 The Assyrian Christians who are suffering from the bands of Kurds Turkish tribes of the mountains across the Turkish border), are mem- bers of an ancient tribe who have been Christian for centuries. and are separate group from the "Syrians," which is a word applied to those who live in Palestine and the district near Beirut

 WASHINGTON, April 21.-The protest of the British government against the granting of permission to the German converted cruiser Kron- prinz Wilhelm to have her bottom cleaned and painted caused a sensa. tion here, as diplomats fear that naval officers at Newport News may have allowed the work to start and they fear that the British contention is correct. High naval officials refuse to make any statement, but friends of the administration insist that the Germans have never been granted per mission to clean the ships bottom and that the boat was drydocked in order that a proper survey might be made.

PETROGRAD, April 21.-The Rus sians continue to attack the Austri- ans holding the strong positions guarding the way into Hungary through the Uszok pass. The troops have been unable to shake the firm hold the Austrians have upon the po- sitions and more artillery will be needed to break through the pass. No general offensive can be under taken as long as the Austrians remain in control of the pass and the rail road which runs through it. The campaign in Hungary isa a stand still until the pass is taken by the Grand Duke, who is reported to be in personal command of the troops now operating in that section.
