Civil inhabitants of Permysl are
invited to consider themselves under

The proclamation goes on to ADVISE
them at once to recognize that Rus
sia has come. not for time. hut
forever.
In public offices Russian officers
already are taking hold Of the lie oi
the place and are carrying it OF so
that in civil affairs the surrender OF
the town from Austrian to Russian
hands has been no more than an IN
terruption of few hours. The IN
habiitants who remain are almost cX-
clusively Jews. Immediately after
the surrender thousands Of them
poured forth from the town along the
northern road and endeavored to
make their way forth by broken
bridge and a new trestle bridge which
the Russian engineers had just COM
plcted.
The Austrian commaudant, in the
notice to them of the impending sur
render, expressed regret that he was
forced to hand them over defensclesS
to Russian mercies. These fleeing in
habitants were reassured and turned
back before reaching the Russian
lines, and were told to go to their
homes, and resume their ordinary
life. :.
Already feeding and relief stations
are at work supplying their necessii-
ties. and tranquility is. entirely re-
stored. The town itself has been very
little damaged by the long siege. 1t
lies in a cup-shaped dip among hills,
on which forts are placed, and now
it is ringed about with columns Of
smoke, which are still rising from
the ruins of the forts, which the
Austrians blew up before surrender
ing. and from the sites of the depots
to which they set fire.
The outskirts Of the town are con-
verted into single vast cemetery
with the graves Of more than 10000
men who were killed or died during
the siege. Nearly every house in the
place contains Il number of sick. or
wounded. men--niore than 10000 in
all-for whom there existed no mcdii-
cal comforts; or even dressings. while
the sanitary conditions had become
iunspeakable.

DEFECTIVE COMPASS
CAUSED BIG CRASH

NEW ORLEANS, May IA defec-
tive compass on the passenger steamer
Heredia, together with unusual
weather conditions, was. responsible
for the Heredia ramming the mule
ship Partisan and the sinking of the
steamship Theodore Weems at the
mouth of the Mississippi river March
27. according to testimony given to-
day by Phillip Wuertz, the Heredia's s
pilot. Wuertz gave his statement at
a hearing of the investigating board
of the Associated Branch Pilots as
sociation.
The Partisan ran aground in the
passes two days before being rammed.
Wuertz also was plotting that vessel
when the mishap occurred. He stated
that the Partisan, which was loaded
with mules for the allied armies, did
not steer well' because of recent re-
pairs and that the alleged defect
caused her to be caught by a treach-
erous current and carried onto the
mud bank.
The hearing will be continued Mon
