found that of the population 115 were
killed and thirty five wounded. The
Ottoman authorities made a show of
energy and arrested number of emil
grants near the border, but the murder
GUS gang has not yet been apprehended.

A WhaIer Lost.

SAN Francisco, June 6.--News was re-
ceived here today of the loss of the New
Bedford whaling bark Saucer, in the
Japan sea. The Saucer left here last
November in command of Captain Cleve-

further south last April, and while fol
lowing a school of whales suddenly ran
on sunken rock and sprung a leak.
The pumps were worked and the bark
kept afloat until she reached Vladivos-
took, where it was found that her dam
age was too great to be repaired, and she
was sold and broken up. The captain
and crew shipped on other whalers
which were in Vladivostock at the
time.
