quin, which Saturday went 10 the aid
OF the Prins Maurlts, reported in dis
tress off Cape Hatteras.
The message from the Algonquin said
the last heard from the prins Maurit,
were the words, Sinking fast" The
Algonqnin's message added
"No later news was received from her
but all hands are supposed TO have per
ished.'
The Prins Maurits, which LETT New

AGED WOMAN DIED
FROM TERRIBLE BURNS
Mrs. Lucinda Shepard Of West Rutland
the Victim--Fire Probably Start
ed From Pipe She Was
Smoking.

Rutland, April 5.--While her relatives
were at Rutland shopping, death came
Saturday night to Mrs. Lucinda Shep,
ard, an aged resident of West Rutland
in a horrible form. She was burned to
death and owing to her advanced age
and disabilities there is every reason to
believe she was unable to make much
struggle, but was compelled to watch the
flames eat their way into her flesh. The
chair on which she sat was melted to
the floor under the intense heat. Mrs.
Shepard's head, face, arms and the upper
portion of her body suffered most and it
was these injuries which proved fatal.
Hows her clothing caught fire is some
thing of mystery, although it is ad-
vanced as theory that a match with
which she was lighting pipe which she
smoked occasionally fell into the folds
of her dress.
Her nephew, Charles Whittemore. and
his wife CAME TO Rutland Saturday even
ing. The tragedy was discovered by the
people living downstairs, but not until
she had been overcome by the fire. When
found Mrs. Shepard lay on the floor un-
conscious and never recovered conscious
ness. BY using blankets, brooms and
pals of water the blaze was extinguish-
ed.

POSSIBLY AUSTRIA
IS ALSO CONCERNED
Austria Admits Retreat in
Beskid and Russians, Be-
sides Asserting Victory
There, Declare They Have
Won Definite Advantage
Over the Germans

Notwithstanding official denials, it is
believed in Rome that there is basis fol
the report that Turkey and possibly Aus
tria is considering the initiation of peace
negotiations In this connection signih-
canoe is attached to the presence in Swift
zerland of Djavid Pasha, Turkish minis
ter of finance. An official denial was
made at Vienna last week that peace ne
gotiations were being considered.
An official statement from the Turkish
war office says the Turkish fleet sunk two
Russian ships in the Black sea near 0des-
sa. II said also that mine-sweeper
which attempted to approach the en-
trance to the Dardanelles was destroyed.
The Serbian losses in border fighting
with the Bulgarian irregulars is placed at
Nish as at l25 men killed and wounded.
The Bulgarian force is said to have
amounted to a regiment and half.
Beyond the bare admission that the
Austrian forces in Beskid have been COM
PEELED TO retreat, Vienna has given no in
formation of the status Of affairs along
that section of the Hungarian frontier.
There is as yet no indication whether
Hungary is threatened seriously with in
vasion.
The Russian war Office not only claims
great success in Beskid but asserts that
definite advantages were gained over the
Germans in northern Poland.
