Busy Easter Sunday.
For the ships' officers, the men and
for the people of I.em Angeles, this has
been a busy Easter Sunday. The di
vision of the fleet was aeci mplished
at 0 o'clock this morning, but even at I
this early hour, the shores nf Kan
ilro harbor and the hills overlooking
were well covered with spectators
eager to witness the maneuvers of th"
warships.
Sailors at Church.
The Rtrlk'iiK feature of the service
2n each of the hip churches of UisAn
geles, was the presence of squads of
Bailors in uniform, who were without
exception given seats In the front
pews, and to whom In nearly every in
stance the clergy imen addressed a por
tion of the Easter sermon.
Th "church squads" composed of
first class liberty men, were brought

Armed Patrol Landed.'
Armed patrols were landed at the
beach cities and sent into I,ob Angeles
but up to late hour there had been ne
disorders. Judging by today's rec

big guns at close range and learn how
the "Jackie" lives aboard ship.

SAN FRANCISCO'S RISE

San Francisco in waste, cost. 4."'-'
lives and lesulted in property damage
amounting to over $100,000,000. In
21 hours' time the destruction was so
great that scarcely a building in the
business pent ion of the city was left
standing wiUi walls Intact.
Two years has wrought Aladdin-like
changes In the appearance if San
Francisco. Rising from the ashes be
fore the smoke of the disaster had
cleared away, she finds herself today
largely rebuilt In an Improved style,
Iter business prosperity recovered, and
her people preparing a joyous we!
'.:ome for the greatest, naval fleet that
lias ever visited her harbor.
Ambassador Whitrlaw Iteiil. after
his recent visit here, eloquently de
scribed the city's achievement when
he said: "There are many things in
the history of this country eif which
an American is intensely proud, but I
protest that among them all there has
been nothing ill 40 odd years, since
the greatest civil war of modern times
of which we have more right to lie

Approve of Italy's resort to Force
to Protect her Interests
There.
. Hume, April 19. Orders have been
issued for an Italiau squadron to make
a l'""iatioii in Turkish waters, the
reason being that Turkey has objected
to"W opening of Italian pi stoffieos
Inju
I The Tripoli situatiou arises from
the murder of an Italian missionary

'authorities of natives who have sold
laud to the Italians. The battleship
commanded by the duke of the Abruz
zi forms part of the squadron. Orders
have been issued for the duke to be
.ready to sail with his command
.. The Turkish ambassador Reehi 1
'Bey In an Interview today said that
his government had never granted the
privilege of opening ofretgn post
offices on Ottoman territory, .but had
only tolerated them. Italy, ho thought
would be right In claiming the. privil
ege; of the most favored natLn In
seeking to open her postofflcos In
( Turkish territory if the ol her fort dsn
counties b,ad done so in virtue of ex
isting "treaties, -Instead of establishing
their postoffiees without having first
received permission to do ao.
' The Italian squadron, under "the
command of Admiral V. Greriet. wl l
set out prcsVibly tomorrow. The squad
roil comprises eleven warships., and
f nr.VmVr mi rti- tUn Iteglna Elena.
The vessels will carry 6,095 men and
.(!,. cbecjlive point will he Asia Minor,
seven miles away.
It lias bi-eii decided, if deemed nec
essary to occupy some i f the land ol
the coast but It is hoped that Turkey
may see the error of her way and give
satisfaction, sj that energetic meas
ures may be avoided.
Considerable Irritation has been felt
over the murder of an Italian mission
ary in Tripoli, and the persecution hy
the Oottomaii authorities eif natives
who have sold land to the Italian gov
ernment Is based primarily on the post
office question. It Is said that all the
powers have approved Italy's decis

A particularly
interfsting description
in Harbin and Mukden,
of conditions
...
in view vi me.
recent discussion over the government
Harbin and . the trouble with Jap-
aneso at the American e-onsulate In
Mukden, is collected in a letter writ
ten by the correspondent' aft Pekin
for the Router agency. Th letter,
dated Mareh 20 follows:
"During a recent tour in Manchuria
I visited Harbin. A remarkable state
eif affairs exists there-. The Russian
town is governed and ominated by. a
private railway company, the Chinese
Fasu-ru Railway, the chairman eif
which styles himself the 'civil gvern
or.' "The- government of the company
can in t be- regarded as satisfactory
Neither life nor property is safe, au 1
It it as much as a man's life is worth
to venture out after dark. It Is Impos
sible to send a telegram after the suu
has gone down, as nobody can be In
duced to risk tils lile for love or
money to go, to the imperial Chinese
telegraph administration, which is in
the Chinese town some distance away,
nor can a te-legiuni be; delivered In the
Russian town after dark for the same
season.
Arson is Rampant.'
"Tho Russian railway telegraph
works indifferently. It is often found
that a letter is delivered more quick
ly than a telegram. What strikes one
and tlii soldiers, who are there do no
police work, much as It. Is needed.
"Trade is at a standslll and prac
tically will continue so as long as
present conditions last. The Russians
themselves grumble at. the lack ol
money In the place, fires are con
stant, and in a good niaicy cases arson
with a view to securing insurance
nu ney, Is attempted.
"Should 'municipal regulations be
enforced ill spite of the protests which
the Chinese government has made to
the foreign powers, a serious slate of
affairs will result, trade, and business
development w ill be cramped and.-a
precedent created for the .lapane'sei to
dei the same In South Manchuria., , '
Japs Insult Europeans.
"One of the chief things which
strikes the visitors tc. Mukden and
Souh Manchuria is that the Japantvie,
who are pouring Into the country, are
not by any means of the rinht class.
During the war the Chinese and oth
ors looked uixmi the Japanese as tlu-i
saviors ami wedcomed them; but later
xperlences have changed all that.
"In the streets one sees many Jap
anese drunk and disorderly, and their
behavler t". ICuropeans is often one of

so, and only yielded to force.
Grave Social evil.
"Ijidies complain of t ie Japanese
letter carriers, who push Chinese ser
vants aside! and burst into their draw
in.-r rooms 1 hi owing on the floor or on
the tables their bundles of letters. The
Chinese complain that the Japanese
do not pay house rent.
More serious still Is the presence
