bands real name was c. H. Irving and
that he lived under that name at Thir-
teenth avenue and Franklin with a
wife and daughter. AS Charles c. At
wood he lived on Washington street
northeast with the complaining wit

a third woman he claimed was his
daughter. He proclaimed to each

had to be away from home every other
night. 49,.

ltshment.

RESULT OF A BLOW BACK.
Explanation of the Accident on Board
the Missouri

Pensacola, Fla, April 1.-two more
ordinary seamen who were injured. in
the terrible explosion on board the
battleship Missouri at target practice
are dead. There is also one man of
the turret crew missing.
Expert turret officers of the vessels
in port say that the. explosion was the
result of blow back, known as the
wind blowing the flames back from the
muZzle of the gun and through the
open breech, thus igniting the powder
charge being hoisted. Captain Cowles
and Lieutenant Hammer, the ordnance
officer, had taken extra precautions
against such an accident, realizing
that such could occur, and for three
days no firing with the large pieces
was done on account of the wind be-
ing from off shore. Finally it shifted
and it was deemed safe to commence
the firing. Lieutenant Hammer had
remained in the turret watching the
firing until the first string of shots
had been fired in rapid succession. He
thought from his observations that it
was safe to allow the continuation at
rapid firing and left the turret to con-
suit with the target expert on board
on this matter. Only three shots of
the second string had been fired when
the explosion occurred. So rapid was
the gun being fired that it is thought
some OF th fire remained in the bar,
rel and that when powder was hoisted
it ignited. Officers Of the vessel differ
in their opiCion as to the cause of the
explosion. hut it is probable that the
exact cause will never be known, as
there were no survivors among the
turret crew. The board of inquiry
which was convened is still in session
and will not come to finding for sew

st. Petersburg, April 15.-The OIL
cial bulletin conveying the intelligence
of the loss of another torpedo boat
destroyer and the accidental Gripping
Of another battleship was almost as
severe blow as the loss of the Pc
tropavlovsk and plunged the whole
town anew into grief. The Russian
word In the text Of the official dis
patch describing the accident to the
Pobieda means either mine" or "tor-
pedo,' but the qualifying verb indi-
Gates something moving toward the
ship. This dispatch puts an end to
the idea prevailing here that Their
had been an engagement following the
disaster to the Petropavlovsk. It Is
considered remarkable here that the
Japanese did not take advantage OF
these terrible accidents to attack Port
Arthur. H. ,5S. s.-,sli,. s3f5f "a, IL
After the official bulletins had been
issued there was talk Of the POSSIBLE
ity OF the destruction of the Petropav-
lovsk having been caused by . sub
marine boat. but this received little
consideration in ofiicial circles. s&

DISASTROUS TO RUSSIANS.
Were Completely OutcIassed in Nava
Fight at Port Arthur.


Chefoo, April l5.-When Admiral
Makaroff left Port Arthur he took with
him his entire squadron and one Of the
fiercest naval engagements of the war
took place. The Russians were at
tackled by the entire Japanese fleet,
which was concealed at the back of
the Miackiao islands.
On seeing how he had been trapped
Makaroff attempted to get back to
Port Arthur, but the Japanese war
ships, being much speedier than the
Russian, cut off Makaroff's retreat
and he was forced to fight against
enormous odds. The result of the en-
gagement was disastrous to the Rus
SLAMS. who had all their ships dau,-
aged. The battleship Peropavlovsk
was sunk by torpedo boats, being hit
by no less than five torpedoes and
blown up.
