The Wreck OF the Huron.

ENSIGN YOUNG.
Ensign Lucien L. Young, one OF the four
officers saved from the wreck of the Huron,
has made a statement regarding the terrible
disaster. About O'Clock Friday evening he
was told that the jlb and 1yingjib stays were
carried away, and the wind was blowing a
gale; went to bed about $50; was arou ed
about midnight by the quarter mas .r calling

learned, were sCen by those on shore Ali
were shortly compelled to go forward; S0ms

balsa was capsized three times. Young, who
is an unusually good swimmer. was most OF
the tire in the water steering the balsa for
the shore. Before they knew it they wera
on the beach, about three quarters OF mile
above the wreck. Young helped up two men
who were inside the surf, but were too weak

They got the mortar, lines, powder and ball
by breaking open the life station, but when
they returned all the masts of the Huron
were gone and no one was on board. Tele-
grams were sent to Admiral Trenchard for
aid aid provisions, and to the chief signal
officer at Washington, that four officers and
thirty men were saved, and that the ship was

justified in giving a hasty credence to the
despatch oil the 10Th instant, relative to
the fall OF Kars, but as SO many antecedent
Circumstances point to the probability of
such a disaster Detailing the Turks, we
are II cllned TO believe that Kars is really
10 the bands cf the Russians. We have
never believed since the last disastrous
defeat OF the Turks on the 9TH instant
that they would be able Icing TO hold
Kars and E!zeroum, especially with
ouch a decima ed amy as that under
lukhtar Pasha. The Russians have COM
pletely tcrned the tables on The Turks
In Armenia, and instead of its being the
least important part OF the campaign, it
now threatens to assume far greater impor-
lance than that on the European side.
We received intelligence on the 1e'h
OF some plucky fighting on the part Of the
Turks In Europe the result OF which was
the expelling of the Russians from Der.
kootcha and the wounding of General
6kobolef.
these Two events,-the fall Of Kars,
and The counter success of the Turks in
a1nrope-seem TO have occurred oppor-
tunely for the chances of success of the
peace negotiations of which we were
