The fourth and the fifth (V-Rtroyrr flotilla and the fourteenth torpedo flotilla and tho Kory main reached the mouth of Port rth-ir at midnight of the 12th, and effected the laying of mints at several points 1 afj-i-Je thr port, defying the enemy's renrrhlighta. The second de stroyer llmilla discove;ed at dawn of the nth one Russian destroyer trying lo mter the harbor, and after ten min utes' attack, sunk her. Another Rus sian destroyer was diaiovered coming fjom the direction of Iaotishan and was. attacked, but she managed to flee into the harbor. On cur side no casual ties, except two seamen on the Ika 7ucbi slightly wounded. There was no time to rescue the enemy's drowning crew as the P.ayan approached. The third ilrrt. reached outside of Port Ar thur at 8 a. in., when the IJayan came out and opened fire. Immediately af terward the Novik, Askold, IMana, Pet ropavlovsk. Pobieda and Poltava came out and made an offensive attack. Our third fleet, hardily answering, en ticed the enemy fifteen miles south east of the port, when our first fleet, informed through wireless telegraphy fiom the third fleet, suddenly appeared before the enemy and attacked them. While the enemy was trying to regain the port, a battleship struck mines laid by us the previous evening', and sunk at 10:32 a. m. Although the ship was observed to be sinking, she finally man aged to regain the port. Our third fleet suffered no damage, and the ene my's damage, besides that above men tioned, is probably slight also. Our first fleet did not reach firing distances. Our fleets at 1 1. m prepared for an other attack. 'Phcy re-sailed April 14 toward I'ort Arthur. The second, the fourth and fifth destroyer flotillas and the ninth torpedo flotilla also join ed us at 3 a. m., and at 7 a. m. No enemy's ships were found outside of the port. Our first fleet arrived at the port at 9 a. m.t and discovered three mines laid by the enemy and destroy ers. The Kasagu and Nlssin were dis patched to the west of Laotishan, and made indirect bombardment for two hours, it being their first action. The new forts on Laotishan were Anally silenced. Our forces retired at 1:30 p. m." Petropavlovsk Was Torpedoed. London. By Cable. No further news from Japanese sources concerning the Port Arthur disasters has reached Lon don. The Daily Mail's Chee Foo corre spondent declares that advices from both Russian and Japanese sources in dicate that the battleship Petropa vlovsk was torpedoed.

St. Petersburg. By Cable. The Pe tnjpavlcvsk, which had twice previous ly been reported damaged by Japanese attacks on Port Arthur, was a first c lass battleship of 10,960 tons displace ment and 14,213 Indicated horse-power. She was 267 feet long, had 69 feet beam and her armored belt was of about 1C inches of steel, with 10 inches of steel armor on her turrets. Her ar mament consisted of 4 12-inch, 12 6 ii.ch. 34 smaller guns and 6 torpedo t libes. The complement of the Petro pavlovsk, when fully manned, was 700 men. She was built at St. Petersburg and was compkded in 1898. Hew He Was Saved. St. Petersburg, Special, It is con firmed that the Grand Duke Curil's in juries consist of burns on the neck and legs.

CARNEGIE'S HERO FLD Civet Five Million Dollars to Reward Bravery. Pittsburg, Special. It was mad known here Friday that Andrew Car nfgie has created a fund cf ".C-.t-:o for the benefit of ' the depend -ts of those loin; their lives in heroic effort to cave the'r fellow men or for the he roes themselves if injured only." Pro vision Is also made for medals to be given in commemoration of heroic acts. The endowment is to be known as the hero fund and consists of $5,000. 000 of first eollater 5 per cent, toads of the United States Stel Corporation. The trust is placed in the hands of a commission of which Chas. L. Taylor is chairman. The schemewas coinceived by Mr. Carnegie immediately after the Hardwkk mine disaster, when be sum moned to New York Chas. L. Taylor, chairman, and F. Wllmot, manager, of the Andrew Carnegie relief fund, to tfiscuss with them plans for the re lief of the sufferers from this catastro phe. In a letter to the hero fund com mittee, Mr. Carnegie outlines the gen eral scheme of the fund which, in his own words, is "to place those following peaceful vacation who have been in jured in heroic effort to save human life in somewhat better positions pecu niarily than before, until again able tj work. In ease of death, the widow and children or other dependents, to be provided for the widow until she is re-married and the children until they reach a self-supporting age. For ex ceptional children, exceptional grants may be also made to heroes or he roines, as the commission think advis ableeach case to be the judge on its meilts. It is provided that no graut is to be continued unless it be soberly and properly used, and the recipient re mains respectable, well-behaved mem- ' bers of the community. A medal shall be given to the hero, widow or next of kin, which shall recite the heroic deed H commemorates. The medal shall he given for the heroic act, even If the deer be uninjured, and also a sum of money should the commission deem s-uch gift desirable. The field embraced by the fund is the United States and Canada, and the waters thereof. "The sea is the scene of many heroic, acts," says Mr. Carnegie's letter, "and nc action more heroic, than that of doc tors and nurses volunteering their ser vices in the case of epidemics. Rail road employes are remarkable for he roism. Whenever heroism Is displayed by man or woman, in saving human life, the fund applies." Official Version. St. Petersburg, By Cable. The Asso ciated Press has obtained what is practically the official version of the sinking of the battleship Petropavlovsk at Port Arthur, and it clears up to a great extent the mysterious features cf that vessel's destruction. This version is as follows: "Retiring before the advance of a su perior Japanese fleet, which was not fighting its progress, the Russian squadron approached the entrance to the harbor. It was shortly after 8 o'clock in the morning, and most of the officers and crew were at breakfast on the flagship. Vice Admiral Makaroff was eating breakfast in his cabin and the ward room was crowded with offi cers surrounding the tables. On the bridge Grand Duke Cyril, his friend, Lieut. Von Kobe, Capt. Jakovleff, com manding the vessel, and two other of ficers were on watch, examining the narrow entrance preparatory to enter ing it. "At about 2 o'clock there was a ter rific explosion of the boilers, followed a few seconds later by a detonation from the well-stored magazines. Huge gaps were torn in the hull of the ship and the water rushed in. The center of gravity having gone, the ship rolled on her side and sank. "All information tends to prove that a mine was responsible for the de struction of the battleship. "The scene below will never be de scribed, as, so far as is known, not a single person between decks succeeded in escaping. The hot steam which scalded the men on deck muioatej what must have been the character of t&e death met by those in the engine room. The men on deck were thrown in all directions, those falling into tne water swimming and grasping the wreckage, to which some of them were able to cling. "The remainder of the squadron im mediately stopped and lowered small boats, and the torpedo boats steamed as quickly as possible to the rescue of the survivors. The escape of Grand Duke Cyril and Lieut, Von Kobe was nothing short of miraculous. The force of tha explosion sent Grand Duke Cynl flying across the bridge, and the base of his skull struck on an Iron stancn ion Fortunately he did not lose con sciousness. Believing that the ship was about to sink, he clambered hastlly down its side and boldly plunged into the water. He suc.eedde in reaching a piece of wreckage, to which he clung iat!.w aqi nt sua ona puJD ?qx about twenty minutes before he was picked up by a torpedo boat. Lieut. Von Kobe was also found swimming and was picked up. Capt. Jacovleff was thrown against a stanchion with such force that he was killed. "Grand Duke Cyril's injuries were severe Besides receiving a blow on the neck, his legs were burned and he suffered a serious shock. He was taken Immediately to a hospital, -where his injuries were attended to. He fill re main there for three days, and then will be brought to St. Petersburg. Alphabet on Side of Pin. William Robert Hughes, an engraver of Kansas City, recently took an ordi nary brass pin and hammered it int a trianguar shape. On one of the 'aces he cut the entire alphabet. On a second face he engraved the wordf -Jaccard Jewelry Company," and on the other face his full name. The characters were so plain that they were read easily without the aid of a : lass. The worx was an cione wiimn I twenty-five minutes. 29 MEN ARE DEAD; A Charge cf Powder If sites Setting Cff !,(C3 PoobJs ! NAVAL DISASTER AT PfcNSACOLA The Presence of Mind and Prompt Action of Captain Cowles Saw the Sh'p. Pc-nsrola, Fla., Special. While on the target range Wednesday after noon 1.000 pounds of powder exploded on the battleship Missouri, killing five officers and twenty-four men and injuring a number of others, two of whom will die. The Missouri was on the taig-l range with the Texas and Brooklyn at practice about noon, when a charge of powder in the twelve-inch left hind gun exploded, ignited from Ras and dropping below, ignited four charges cf powder in the handling room, and all exploded, and only one man cf the entire turret and handling crew survives. But for the prompt and efficient work of Capt. Cowles In closing the handling room and maga zine, one cf the magazines would have exploded and the ship would have been -destroyed. Cart. Cowles, completely overcome with the dis aster, referred all newspaper men to Lieut. Hammer, the ordinance officer. The latter gave out a statement of the explosion and its probable cause. According to hirn. about noon, after the first pointer of the after twelve inch piece had fired his string and the second pointer had fired the third, shot of his string, the charge ignited. The fourth shot was being loaded and from all indications, the first half of the charge had ben ram med home and the second section was being rammed home, when gases from the shot previously fired, or por tions of the cloth cover, ignited the powder. The breech was open and a (lull thud gave notice of something unusual. No loud report was made, but the fiames were seen to leap from every portion cf the turret. A few seconds later another explosion, more fierce, occurred. TI1I3 was in the handling room below, where 1,000 pounds of powder, or four charges, ready to be hoisted above, had Ig nited. Fire quarters were sounded, and every man of the ship responded, eager to go into the turrets and res cue the crew. Capt. Cowle gave his commands, and but for his pres ence cf mind, together with the offi cers of the shin, the Missouri would have gone down. The second explo sion occurred near one of the maga zines, and so hot was the fire that the brass-work of the magazine was melted. Smoke and the fumes of the burned powder made it almost im possible either to enter the turret or handling room, but officers and men, with handkerchiefs over their faces, made efforts to rescue the men inside. Leading the rescuing party was Capt. Cowles (the officers endeavored to keep him from going below, as men fell unconscious as they entered, and had to be pulled out by their com rades): but, unheeding their advice, the commanding officer rushed below, fciiowed by Lieut. Hammer, the ordi nance officer, and Lieut. Cleveland Davis. Capt. Cowles caught up a dying blue-jacket in his arms and transferred him to the de?k. The blue-jacket, with two others from the handling room, had crawled partly from their place cf duty when they had been overcome. Before the fumes of the burning powder had left the turret, officers and men were in, lifting out the dying and dead men. Three minutes after the explo sion all were on deck and the sur geons from the Missouri, Texas and Brooklyn were attending to those not dead. The twenty-five men of the turret were found lying in a heap. They had started for the exit when the first explosion occurred and had just reached there when the more terrible explosion in the handling room had occurred, which burned and strangel them to death. Lieut. Dav idson, the officer in charge of the tur ret, had evidently given some com mand to the men, as he was mi top of the heap of men, having fallen there after he had allowed them to pass him to get out oT the turret. The bodies were hardly recognizable, the terrible and quick fire . having burnt the clothing from the bodies of the men, and the flesh hung from them in shreds. The faces were mutilated by the smoke and flames. Only one man was breathing when the turret crew was rescued, and he died a moment after he reached deck. The dead: Lieut W. C.

Th incident ev-currej In connection with the dis-ruKid;n of the postoffice appropriation bill. That meas ure was under discussion during the first half of the .vdon and was pxu?d, all amendments offered by ihe IWro crats being voted down. Mr. Gorman's amendment providing for the appointment of a commission to investigate the affairs of the Post office Department was, on motion of Mr. I)dge. laid on the table. 4 to 10. The division wa on strictly po litical lines. Mr. Teller presented an amendment for an investigating c-rn-mission composed entirely of Feuaters. He (barged that Republican Senators were unwilling to have an investiga tion when Mr. Aldrich interrupted with a denial and Teller repeated his state ment that no investigation was wanted. "The Senator can speak for himself, hut net for anyone else." Mr. Aldrich replied sharply, and Mr. Teller re sponded by paying that every resolution looking lo r.n inquiry had been voted down. "Can tiro .Senator of his own knowl edge make a specific charge of malfea sance in office that has not been in vestigated?" Mr. Aldrich asked. Mr. Teller replied that it was evi dent to all that there was corruption in the Postoffice Department that had not been uncovered and that the Re publicans were afraid to let in the light. The conference report on the Indian appropriation lull was agreed to. The bill providing a form of government f.r the Panama Canal zone was taken up and rend and amended, but the debate upon it had not begin when the Sen ate adjourned. House Proceedings. Th House Wednesday passed the bill reported by the committee or. rivers and harbors appropriating $1. 000,000 for the restoration or main tenance of channels, or of other river and harbor improvements. Mr. Bur ton, chairman of the committee, ex plained its provisions and urged the adoption of settled principles with regard to river and harbor work with the view to considering each project according to its merits. Mr. Burton eaid that the amounts expended for rivers and harbors when thf vast ox tent of our waterways was consider ed was very small. He favored the adoption of a policy of pushing mat ters to completion as rapidly as pos sible, and declared that Congress should not undertake anything which could not be completed within a reas onably short time. The system pur sued "in the United States, he thought, contrasted most unfavorably with those of foreign countries. The one great defect'in our system was the in sufficiency of the engineering corps of the army. He favored the policy of requiring communities interested in river and harbor improvements to participate in the expense and said that preference should be given to channels and harbors which benefit a great area. Discussing the ques tion of inland waterways, Mr. Burton called attention to the vast sums, amounting to many millions of dol lars, which would be requited to con struct them, and declared that the adoption of any one of them would furnish a precedent for the adoption of all. In favoring broad and liberal treat ment of rivers and harbors. Mr. Rans dell, of Louisiana, a member of the committee, said he would support a bill carrying $100,000,000 because the people now aro ready for It and would applaud its passage- He re gretted the present measure simply was an emergency one. The Ameri can peopla, he said, are not afraid of large sums, but rather liked them. He charged that the Republicans had been lavish and even reckless of ex pense in all matters except river and harbor Improvement and called at tention to the hundreds of millions which, he said, had been spent in con nection with the war with Spain and on "criminal aggression and passive warfare." Mr. Humphreys, of Mississippi, also a member of the committee, spoke of the fallacy of the levee system of im proving the Mississippi river, and said it was not possible for a levee or a system of levees to withstand floods such as occurred in 1897 and 103. General debate was closed by Mr. Small, cf North Carolina, who spoke of the necessity for an inland water way between Chesapeake Bay and Beaufort Inlet, N. C. Mr. Clark, of Missouri, called at tention to the fact that the river and harbor committee was made up en tirely of members living on the Gulf coast, the Great Lakes or the ocean. Seven great States through which the Missouri river C6ws or passes are without , a single representative. He alluded to the acquisition by the United States cf the Sandwich Is lands, the Philippines. Guam and Por to Rico, "on the pretext that homes arc wanted for cur children," and yet he said, there is more farming land out of which to make such homes that Is overflowed and destroyed and made barren by the floods of the Mis souri river than could be found in all those Islands. "Instead," he vigor ously declared, amid applause, "of squandering money to hold the Fili pinos in subjection, and educate the Hawaiins, and to carry the mail at an exorbitant price to the fiannibalr of the Fiji Islands, you better be tak lng care of this land you have got at kome."
