or eight negroes, members of the

in a gale on Lake Ponchatrain four
miles from Pass Manchac.
The names of those SO far ascer-
tanned are: Eric Bush, captain of
the boat; Sandy Young and John

Four or five others made up the
balance of the crew, and all are
thought to have persisted.
The Emma Hawkins, owned by the
Haultop Lumber Company, of Houl-
tonville, was Oh her way to New Or
leans with cargo of lumber, having
sailed Tuesday morning. Heavy seas
were running at the time, as other
craft were forced to put into the
Tchefuncta River for shelter.
The crew of the schooner Rosa A.,
owned by Jones & Pickett, of Gov
ington, were the last persons to see
the Emma Hawkins afloat. This was
late Tuesday afternoon, and at that
time the sails of the Hawkins had
been carried away. The two schoon-
ers were sailing together. She Rosa
A. lost her rudder, and the crew of
the Hawkins gave her assistance.
The Steamer Export, sent out by
the Lumber Company to aid the En-
ma Hawkins, found the wreck bot
toIn upwards four miles from Pass
Manchac, with no sign of crew. No
bodies were found. 1t is barely pos
sible that some of the crew managed
to reach land.

the mouth of Tangipahoa River, with
rudder gone, two anchors lost and
foremost carried away.

Boy Lieutenant Commands in Tn
equal Fight.
Mexico City, April 27.-Refusing
to surrender or to leave the train on
which he and his command of thirty
soldiers were being brought to the
capital, second lieutenant, little
more than boy, yesteday engaged
in battle with a fore of 400 rebels
at Cajones, Guerrero.
At the conclusion of the brief en-
counter twenty-eight of the soldiers
were dead and the lieutenant and
the remaining two of his men were
prisoners. One of the arms of the
lieutenant had been shot away.
The rebels were under command
of Gen" Prudencio. Learning that
troops were being carried on the
Cuernarvaca division of the National
Railways, the rebel leader marched
to Cajones, a station some distance
below Cuernavaea.
When the train stopped he sent
forward a messenger to demand the
surrender of the troops and re-
quest, if they would not surrender,
to abandon the train in order that
the lives of passengers be not en-
dangered,
Fresh from the School of Aspi-
rantes, military training school, the
boyish officer sent back word that he
had his orders to continue on his
train. Little time was lost in be-
ginning the fight. The rebels poured
down the embankment on either side
of the train and almost simultane-
ously the shooting was begun by
them and by the soldiers on the train
Passengers, who had been implor-
ing the young officer to yield, were ip
a panic The cries of women and
children were heard in the roar OF
the rifle fire, and the shots from the
| rebels raked the sides ct the train,
| many entering the coaches occupied
by passengers.
But one, however, did personal
| damage to a passenger. That one
killed Louis Bastamante. a young
| civil engineer, who was on his way
| to the capital to be married to Miss
Elena Tamborrel. Bustamante was
kneeling beside frightened little
girl passenger, attempting to comfort
her, when he was shot.
Passengers who arrived here on
the train late last night brought the
story of the battle to the capital,
and to-day there stood in the yards
OF the railway the bullet-scarred
coaches, mute evidence of the en-
counter.
At no time during the engagement
did the Federals betray signs OF
cowardiee. With the blood of their
companions running from the doors
of the little second-elass coach, the
meen cody fired into the ranks OF
teir assailants until but two remain
ed with their wounded lieutenant.
In the first-class coach, immediate
| " in the rear of the soldiers car,
was riding the jefe politico of Iquala,
Guerrero.

r.. Barq, of Biloxi, From Angry Sea
Duriny Wednesdays Storm.
Biloxi, Miss, April 27.-There was
a temporary lull in the force of the
wind and the waves shortly before
noon to-day, which led some of the
seamen congregated on the beach
watching the progress of the storm
which has ragged since yesterday to
predict that the worst of the blow
was over. Train No. came over
from Bay St. Louis this morning,
and reached Biloxi on time No. So,
the fast mail, which left New Orleans
last night, arrived this morning, after
a trip via Hattiesburg. 1t is the plan
or the Louisville and Nashville to
run NO. and 6 from Mabile to Bay
st. Louis and vice versa. The Bay
st. Louis bridge is said not to have
suffered, and this afternoon appear
ances justified the statement that the
blow was over TIE sun is out, the
rain has ceased, and the sea is near
~ normal again. The Postal and

routes. The Cumberland Telephone
Company has direct connection with
New Orleans, the break in their lines
having been repaired. E. Barq hal
a thrilling experience yesterday af-
ternoon with two boys. He went
out in skiff to his launch, the Eddie
b., to put out an extra anchor, AMI
the skiff broke loose and drifted
ashore. The two boys, Harold Key
and Charles Lowery, fcated in On
life preservers, and got the skiff, but
unable to make their way back to
the boat. Mr.. Barq was on the verge
OF floating in on a life preserver, but
was rescued by Dunbar Laplace, Of
New Orleans, who rescued him in a
yaWl. The Istrouma, of New Or
leans, owned by Dunbar Laplace,
rode the storm out at anchor off

Repotrs received by Dunbar, Lopez
& Dukate Company, the packers, in
dictate that little damage was done at
Pass Christian, Dunbar, La, and
Bayou Labatre. Their plant and
boats here were practically unharm-
ed. The high winds, it is feared,
will seriously damage crops now
growing. Many pecans were blown
off the trees. The shellroads in the
city suffered little, although they
were flooded in number of places.
The tides were higher than at any
time since the storm of 1909. Two
of the great pilings and one of the
tenders of the Back Bay were wash
ed loose. Some uneasiness has been
felt for Dan Gorenfe, who has been
at Chandelier Island on a pleasure
trip, and from whom nothing has
been heard.
Late yesterday the schooner barge
Thelma 9. went ashore In front Of
the Maloney place. The Jennie Daw-
