Kardwick mine disaster, when he summoned
to New York Chas. I,. Taylor,
chairman, and F. IVUmot. manager,

discuss with them plans for the relief
of the sufferers from this catastrophe.
In a letter to the hero fund committee,

Official Version.
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,

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.

Von Kobe was .also found swimmine
and was picked up. Capt. Jacovleff,
was thrown against a stanchion with
such force that he was killed.
"Grand Duke Cyril's injuries were
severe. 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
