Berlin, Aug. 19.-The Russian for
tress of Kovno has been captured by
the Germans.
An official announcement from the
war Office says:

with all the forts and war materials,

important German victory since the

stronghold.

within striking distance of the outer
forts of Brest Litovsk, the southern

Houston, Tex, Aug. 21.-The death
list from the Texas coast storm has
increased slightly and the missing
list decreased. The known death list
is 116, including thirteen known d ad
at Galveston. Some other bodies
were found about Galveston, but they
are supposed to be from the main
land.
The death list will be increased. by
dozen or more when the Virginia
Point hotel collapse is cleared up.
Twenty persons are missing in this
collapse.
Reports indicate that thirty persons
missing at Bolivar have been found.
The only other large missing list is
fifty hands on the dredge Houston.
The fact that nearly all hands on a
dozen other dredges working in the
same vicinity near Galveston turned
up safe relieved worry over the Hous-
ton.
A conservative estimate of the
missing is less than 100.
