The reference in the foregoing to
Ekved Pevzi Pasha as the commander
in charge of Erzerum before its sur-
tender apparently disposes of unofficial
i eports of several weeks ago that the
Turkish army there was in charge of
the German field marshal, Von der
Golts, or his compatriot, Field Marshal
Liman von Sanders.
PETROGRAD, Feb. 19, via London.
The first detailed story of the capture
of Erzerum by Russians reached Petro-
grad semi-officially today.
It shows complete co-operation of
Russian troops over a wide area,
which made useless resistance on the
part of the Turks. Apparently the
Turks realized the fall was inevitable
and withdrew most of their forces be-
fore the final onslaught, leaving the
garrisons of the widely separated forts
to their fate. *
The campaign began to reach its cli-
without leaning toward
legislation.*

The fall of this line quickly decided
the fate of the inner forts.
They Were Surrounded.
Meanwhile, the Paton Teken group
of forts seven miles to the south, had
teen surrounded on three sides. The
general assault on the second line be-
gan without giving the men time for
a rest. The inner forts made only a
feeble resistance. Thr garrisons beat
a hasty retreat into Che city and fol-
lowed the bulk of the troops, which
were already on the roads leading
westward only the rear guard took
part in the fighting of the last day.
Signs of evacuation under way were
observed in Erzerum after the fall of
the first fort.
It is thought possible the Turks will
attempt to make a stand at the first
favorable point, which is in the hills
on the western edge of Erzerim val-
ley, eleven miles distant, but It is not
regarded as probable that they will be
able to erect fortifications.
The Russians are hastily repairing
the small damage done to the fortress
against a possible attempt of tho Turks
to retake them.
No news has been received of the
fate of Ekved Pevzi Pasha, commander
of the Ninth Corps, who was in charge
of the defense of Erzerum.

It is reported that reinforcements
from Thrace were on the way to Erz-

ers present. The group about the ne-
groes grew larger and these was much
laughter as well as considerable won-
derment at the negro's ability to make
his verses as he sang.
“But how does ho know all of us
and our weaknesses?" asked one of
the visitors. That really was tho big
mystery about the negro's songs, and it
remained unsolved until someone
caught Will Folts concealed behind the
bass violin, prompting the singer.

tiny Intel. <>n thiB inlet being called
a “creek" by one of the Eastern bank-

inlet is a “slough," which term ap-
peared now to the visitor.
On the wharf as the barge poked its
big nose up the inlet, Alfred Smith,
one of the owners of Dewdrop and
host-in-chief of the occasion, waved a
welcome to the excursionists. With
him were Ernest Nalle, John W. Brady.
Wallace Inglish and half a score other
prominent Austin men who had gone
out earlier in the day to see that all
was prepared for the visitors.
At the Barbecue.
Augustine DeZavalla seized a boat
hook and extended it to the wharf. He
was almost pulled off the barge, but
in the meantime the barge's crew had
thrown a rope and the barge was prac-
tically beached in the little Inlet. Bank,
ers leaped ashore in crowds, tempted
by the smell of barbecued meat and’
the sight of long rows of tables piled
with condiments.
H. 8. Lawson, master of the feast,
and his chief assistant. "Uncle" Bam
Bell, started the ‘eats" moving at once.
They pressed into service (be waiters
who had come on the boat and there
were half a dozen of them, mostly ne

banks but the guests were hungry
and some of them got close to Mr.
Iawson’s improvised butcher shop and
received their meat hot from the bar-
becue pita Goat, lamb and veal were
served them.
There was no ceremony. Everyone
ate end drank--all kinds of refresh-
ments were provided—snd hungry as
the crowd was, there was plenty of
meat to go round. The negro musi-
clans furnished further eptertainment
and a big picture was taken of the
group.
At 9 o’clock the journey back to
Austin was begun, with many hand-
clasps and farewells between those
who remained at the camp and those
who returned on the barge. Bom* of
the visitors stayed at the camp, while
some of those who had been at th*
camp were taken back to town on the
barge.
