alias Cuasteron. On the Government side
one soldier and three horses were killed.
The troops are in close pursuit of the rem

ranch of several thousand acres in Star
County, where he made his home before the
outbreak.
Since then he has lived in thu saddle, and
was successful iu evading tho numerous

Frightful Steamship Accident Re.

A frightful accident is said to have oc-
Cured on the Caspian Sea. A rapport has
been received at Astrakhan that the steamer
Alexander Wolkow, carrying passengers
between Caspian ports, has foundered with
250 passengers on board. This, follow
inc a recent accident, attended by almost
equal loss OF life few weeks ago, has caused
much excitement in Caspian ports and
there is general opinion that the Rus
sian authorities do not attend with
due vigilance to the inspection OF
steamships in those waters Most of
the steamers on the Caspian are poorly
built, and not calculated for enduring The
sudden and severe storms which OCCASION
ally sweep over that inland sea. 1t IS be-
Level that this latest disaster will lead to
general overhsuiing OF the steam and sailing
