Boston, March 20.-In the storm of
March 10 and 20 at least a dozen yes

size of the fleet which was off the coast
when the storm was at its height last
night.
The list of disasters and less serious ac-
cidents includes the following:

IS MADE
HERO IN RUSSIA
Condo mned Men Were Taken to Small
Deserted Island and Shot BY
Sailors at Sunrise.

St Petersburg, March 20-Lieutenant
Schmidt, leader of the navy revolt at
Sebastopol in November last, who was
tried by courtmartial and shot near OF
chakoff fortress, yesterday, with three
sailors sentenced to death for mutiny,
is made a hero and martyr by the
reyolutionists. The boys of the st. Pc
tersburg gymnasium struck today In Or
der to compel the offering up of prayers
in school for the repose of the soul
of the lieutenant.
The Russ prints a detailed account of
the execution, in which it appears that
when Schmidt received the news that
the authorities had refused to commute
the death penalty he wept for the three
sailors, his companions, saying they were
so young and honest and he would pre-
fer to die alone. The condemned mon
were taken to the small deserted island of
Borizan and We're shot at sunrise. Schmidt
addressed his executioners, sixty sailors
of the cruiser Teretz, saying
Il die for the Russian people and the
fatherland. Many of you doubtless will
hereafter share my death for the same
cause"
Schmidt refused to accept the sacra-
ment and asked not to be blindfolded
He met his death with head Up and eyes
open. The firing party was stationed at
distance of fifty PAGES. Two of the
sailors were killed at the first volley and
one more at the third. Schmidt did not
fall until the fourth volley.
