IVUmot. manager, of the Andrew Carnegie relief fund, to discuss with them plans for the relief of the sufferers from this catastrophe. In a letter to the hero fund committee, Mr. Carnegie outlines the general scheme of the fund which, in his own wonts, is to place those tollowing peaceful vacation who have been injured in heroic effort to save human life in somewhat better positions pecuniarily than before, until again able tn work, in case of death, the widow and children or other dependents, to be provided for?the widow until site is re-married acd the children until they reach a self-supporting age.

St. Petersburg, lly Cable.?The Associated Press has obtained what is practically the official version of the sinking of the battleship Petropavlovsk at Port Arthur, and it clears up to a great extent the mysterious features of that vessel's destruction. This version is as follows: "Retiring before tiie advance of a superior Japanese licet, which was not fiehtinp- its nrnirress the lti'-:i:in squadron approached the entrance to the harbor. It was shortly after S o'clock in the nim-ning, and most of the officers and ciow were at breakfast on the Hags hi p. Vice Admiral Makaroff was eating breakfast in his cabin and (lie ward room was crowded with officers surrounding the tables. On the bridge Grand Duke Cyril, his friend, Lieut. Von Kobe, Capt. Jakovloff, commanding the vessel, and two other officers were on watch, examining the narrow entrance preparatory to entering It. "At about 2 o'clock ihere was a terrific explosion of the boilers, followed a few seconds later by a detonation from the well-stored magazines. Huge gaps were torn in the hull of the ship and the water rushed in. The center (rf gravity having gone, the ship rolled on her side and sank. "All information tends to prove that a mine was responsible for the destruction of the battleship. "The scene below will never he described, as. so far as Is known, not a single person between decks buocc; led in escaping. The hot steam which scalded tno men gn aer.K indicated what must h?ve been the character of the death met by those in the engine room. The men on deck were thrown In all directions, those falling into thO| water swimming nnd grasping the1 wreckage, to which some of them were able to cling. "The remainder of the squadron Im mediately stopped nnd lowere 1 small boats, and the torpedo boats steamed as quickly r.s p. ssible to tin- rcr,.uie of the survivors. The escape of Grand Duke Cyril an.l Dleut. Von Kobe was nothing short of miraculous. The force of the explosion sent Grand Dime Cyril flying across the bridge, nnd th<- base of his skull struck on an Iron sxaneuion. Fortunately he did not lose consciousness.

Besides receiving a blow on the neck, his legs were burned and lie suffered a serious shook. He was taken immediately to a hospital, where his-i injuries were attended to. lie will remain there for three days, and then will be brought to St. Petersburg. I LIVE ITEMS OE NEWS.
