Turkish Transports are sunk

London.-An official dispatch TOM
Constantinople reaching London by
vay of Berlin, confirms indirectly the
recent Russian statement that Rus
sian feet had sunk three Turkish
transports in the Black sea. The Con
stantinople report admits that there
has been no news of these ships since
they left the Turkish capital a week
ago, 1t adds that as the vessels were
near Songuldak, on the Black sea, the
day this place was bombarded, it is
possible that they were attacked by
the Russian squadron.

attendance upon the funeral of the late
Mrs. George Howe, whose sad death oc-
CURED at her home in this city at an
early hour Saturday morning.
Friends who gathered at the church all
knew and esteemed the deceased. She
was one whose place will be hard to fill.
and her friends all knew her worth. This
being the case, 1t is seldom that a fun
eral is held in which there is exempI-

were wet with tears as the service. CONC

where the remains of the Iovable lady
were deposited for their long sleep, there
was another evidence of the love borne
for her by those assembled when a
wealth of spring blossoms the most
luXuriant and beautiful to be had, in all
manner of designs, were deposited on the

Editor Pensacola Journal.
I have just finished reading your

handling OF the Mexican situation.
/ have been a reader OF your paper
for number of years and regard the
editorial of this morning as one Of
the best of many good ones that [
have read in il, or of any other, of
our many good newspapers.
The task of our president is indeed
a very severe one and I think it the
duty Of every good American to sup
port him in every way possible. and if
they would do half as much good
as your editorial Of this morning
would do, if read and understood by
all who read your valuable paper, his
task would be much lighter.
Having been more than twenty
three (23) years in the service of our

principal waters of the world in that
