St. Petersburg, Apr. 18.—
The awful disaster to the battle-
ship Petropavlovsk at Port Ar-
thur with the loss of almost her
entire crew of over 600 men and
the death of Vice Admiral Mak-
aroff has been a terrific blow.
It would have fallen less heavy
if the ship and commander-in-
chief of the fleet had been lost
in battle, but to be the result of
another accident following on
the heels of a succession of
tragedies of which the Port
Arthur fleet has been the victim,
has created somethind like con-
sternation. ,
“Reverses we can endure”
said a prominent Russian, “but
to have the Petropavlovsk meet
the fate of the Yenezi and the

Capers of a Cyclone.
To The Dallas News.
I have found a photograph of
a man and woman who are un-
known to me. It was supposed
that the picture was blown here
from Brewer, Freestone county,
during the awful storm of April
7. This photo was found within
500 yards of my home which is
six miles east from Elkhart.
Hundreds of other articles were
also found, such as shingles and
ceilings from buildings, which
it is supposed, were wrecked by
the storm. We had no wind
here. Please publish this notice
so that if the parties whose pic-
ture I have found are alive, they
may recover it. It was found by
John Foster, of this place and
communications should be ad-
dressed to him.

The photo mentioned in the
above is doubtless from the
home of either Mrs. Taylor near
Brewer, or Biggs near Mills.
As far as we know, they are the
only white people who lost their
homes in the cyclone, which
formed just over the line in
Limestone county and left de-

wearing apparel, household
goods, etc., have been found
miles away from the path of the
cyclone.
