STEAMER TEXAS IS
SUNK; $50 DROWN
Turkish Vessel With Ameri-
can Name Strikes Mine
In SMYRNA HarbOr.

Smyrna, April 30.-The steamer Tex
as, belonging to the Archipelago Amer
lean Steamship company, struck q mine
at the entrance to the gulf Of Smyrna
and sank. One hundred and fifty per-
sons on board were drowned.
The Texas was flying the Turkish
flag and was engaged in carrying mail
from ConstantinOple TO the Levant.
1t was first stated that the Texas was
an American vessel, the error arising
from the fact that she is part Of the
fleet of a local concern trading under
the name of the Archipelago American
Steamship company.
The gulf of Smyrna is one of the
finest harbors in the Mediterranean and
Smyrna is the principal seaport of
Asiatic Turkey. The entrance was ex-
tensively mined recently by the Turkish
authorities to protect the port against
an attack by the Italian fleet. The
Texas was a vessel of PSI tons net regis
ter. built at New Castle. England, in
1888. She was at first called the Olym-
pia, then rechristened the Marguerite
