white above red-being those OF the
Russian WarShips when they enter the

supposed the approaching vessels were
the Russian torpedo boats returning
from Dalny and his suspicious were on

they covered and uncovered their lights
at irregular intervals. The signal tow

At this moment the Pallada's cap

the outlines of the torpedo boat de-

A terrific explosion occurred under
the hull of the Pallada, raising tor

Soon afterward two other torpedoes
exploded almost simultaneously, one
under the bow of the Retvizan and the
other under the stern of the Czarevitch.
This double explosion ended the at

Were Killed.

New York, March 5.-One priest and
two servants were killed and two other
priests were severely injured in a fire
Catholic church and the adjoining rec
tory in Long Island today. Those
killed were the Rev. Father Ernest and
Mary and Margaret Brady, domestics.
Those injured are the Rev. Joseph
Kearney, abrasions of face, hands and
left hip, and the Rev. Father Hen
negan, shock and contusions. The
money loss by the fire was estimated
at S35.OO0 The cause is unknown.
The fire started in an unknown man
ner in the church and having a good
start before it was discovered, spread
rapidly, soon extending to the rectory
adjoining. The inmates of the reetory
were all asleep at the time and it is sup
posed that Father Ernest and the two
women were overcome by smoke and
were unable to make any attempt to
escape. The bodies of all three were so
badly burned as to be scarcely recog-
nizable.
The dead priest was q years of age.
Father Hennegan and Father Kearney
saved themselves by jumping from
windows. Father Hennegan. who is
suffering from shock and contusions

Much Damage Done by Earth
quake at Lima, Peru.

Lima, March 5.-Only one person was
killed, but many walls fell and much
damage was done by the earthquake
which occurred Friday. One of the
structures seriously affected was the
cathedral Its right tower was cracked
and much damage was done to statues
and works of art. Scarcely house in
the city escaped damage. Doors and
windows were opened and reshut by the
trenors. Roofs were dislodged and pic
lures, mirrors and glassware in shops
were destroyed. The balconies of a
large part of the buildings in the city
tumbled to the ground.
A dispatch from Chorillos says that
the earthquake was more destructive
there than in Lima. 1t cracked the
walls of churches and destroyed pic
lures, statues and crockery. In Callao
walls of numerous houses fell, while the
docks and the iron bridges suffered
seriously.
Traffic on the Central railway was
stopped by rocks falling on the track.
The shock was felt everywhere in
Peru.
