RUSSIANS INVADE PERSIA.
Troops Cross Frontier to Punish Band
of Kurdish Brigands.

Tiflis, Trans-Caucasia, April 16.-The
Russian troops have invaded Persian
territory in the vicinity of Lenkoran,
a port on the Caspian sea for the pur-
pose of Furnishing Kurdish raiders.
This step was taken in consequence OF
the renewal of the attack upon the
Russian garrison at Belesuvar, a from
tier post. The trouble began April II,
when a detachment of Russian troops
from Be1esuvar met band of Kurdish
brigands and lost several men in the
subsequent fighting. The brigapds also
suffered. They prepared to = attack
Belesuvar in force in revenge for
their treatment by the Russian SOL
diers and they descended on the garri-
son in large numbers.
Orders were issued for the garrison,
which is supported by the artillery to
enter Persian territory and punish the
Kurds. The Russians in force then
crossed the frontier and destroyed sew
eral villages. They also scattered the
kurds who numbered in all about 4000
According to the latest reports re-
ceived the Russians are still continu-
ing their advance. The people of Belle
suvar have telegraphed to ST. Peters,
burg appealing for immediate protec-
ton. Cossacks have been sent into the
district to preserve order. The whole
of the frontier is in state of alarm.

A HORRIBLE TALE
Of Mother Being Led to Throw Her
Child Overheard.

New York. April 16.-An extraordinary
tale Of the burial at sea Of child who
may have been alive when thrown over
board was told by the officers Of the
steamer Statendam when that steamer
arrived today from Rotterdam. The child
Is said to have been thrown overheard by
her own mother. Mrs. Bertha Lzybik of
Poland. She was coming to this country
with two children, the youngest of which.
Elsa. was about four years old.
On the way over the child was taken
ill with commissions during a gale ana in
about an hour was apparently dead The
other passengers Of the steerage objected
to the presence of the body on board and
informed the mother that unless the child
was thrown, overheard a storm would
overwhelm the steamer. About midnight
the body OF the child was thrown into
the sea.
Officers Of the steamer soon discovered
what had happened and the ships sur
geon, who made inquiries, Is said to have
expressed the fear that the child was
merely in comatose condition and might
have been revived under medical treat
ment. Mrs. Lzybik was taken to Ellis
Island.

pleased yesterday morning at seeing the

accounted for by the fact that there was
but little edelay ct Bath as there was
only a small amount Of freight to handle
there. ~: 5ge. a. ~ 80

Tho Gardiner patrons of the Eastern
Steamship Co. are looking with small ia
vor upon the proposition of having the
boat touch at Boothbay Harbor before
coming to Bath on her morning trips
They feel that it would mean that the
boat would mot arrive at Gardiner until IL
o'clock in the forenoon or later. A petit

good many, signatures. y,

OCEAN STEAMERS COLLIDE.
Two Big Vessels Come Together Il
New York eay-No Lives Lost.

New York, April 1.-two ocean lin
ers, the Monterey of the Ward Line
bound for Havana, and the Danish
steamer United States. of the Scanda
navian-American Line. bound for Co
penhagen, collided in the main shiI
channel in lower New York bay today
Both were damaged. but no lives were
lost. and no one as far as reported was
injured. The Monterey had her stern
damaged and several Of her bow plates
were loosened. but she was able to re-
turn TO her dock, where her passen.
gers disembarked. 1t is probable the
. Monterey will have to go into dry dock
for repairs.
The United States was more serious
~ damaged. A large hole was stove in
her hull starboard side abaft the en-
gines and so threatening was its ma
ture that it was deemed wise to run
the vessel aground on a mud bank on
the channels edge. There the steamer
is resting easily. The weather is clear
and calm. Several wrecking tugs are
standing by. Temporary repairs will
be made and then the. vessel will be
p;;liGd off Into deep water so that she
can return to the city for permanent
repairs. There are 439 steerage pas
seneers aboard the United States.
They will remain aboard over night.
There were As passengers on the Mon
tCrev. No great excitement occurred
on either vessel, according to eye wit
nesses of the collision.
Stories as to the cause of the COLI
sion and the responsibility therefor
differ. The United States, according to
the. stories told, steamed down the bay
in the wake Of the Monterey, but af-
ter going by the quarantine station,
passed the Monterey and it was just
after this that the humping occurred.
According to some the United States
had to check her speed suddenly to
escape running down a schooner and
before the Monterey could check her
speed. the crash occurred. Others We're
inclined to blame the officers of the
United States for their maneuver in
passing the Monterey in the confined
limits of the ship channel and say the
collision should be laid to this. An in
vestigation probably will have to be
awaited to place the responsibility.
Late tonight a wrecking tug came up
to the city from the scene of the col
lsion and reported that the engine
room of the United States was filling
with water. indicating that the steam
err had been damaged below the water
line.
Among the passengers aboard the
United States is Capt. Road Amund-
zen, the explorer, who discovered the
Northwest Passage. He was bound for
his home in Christiana, after an alb
scnce of three years. O

WORST Is OVER.
Montana Flood Has Spent It's Force
The Missouri Rises Slowly.

Butte, Mont, April 16-Late esti-
mates of the loss occasioned by the
bursting of the Hauser Lake dam
north of Helena, based on reports is
sued by The Miner from various
points in the flooded district, place the
amount at about $50o;0OO. though this
may be exceeded by about $4,000
when more detailed report Is had
from the more remote sections.
Early today the Missouri river at
Great Falls was between three and
four feet high, rising at the rate of an
inch an hour The slow rise of the
river would indicate that the flood had
practically spent it's force. and the
copper shelters of the amalgamated at
this point are not considered in any
danger.
The greatest damage outside Of the
destruction of the dam was done at
Craig, 40 miles north of Helena, where
the school house. the railroad station,
two general stores. two saloons and
several residences were torn up and
wrecked. Losses of herds Of cattle are
also reported by stockmen.
