RUSSIAN [ADMIRAL
AMONG DROWNED.
Flagship of Russian Port Arthur
Squadron Struck a Mine and
Sank at Once — Eight
Hundred Lives Lost.
Lt. Petersburg, April 13. —
While going out to meet the
Japanese fleet off Port Arthur,
the Petropavlovsk struck a mi.ie
□ in the outer roadstead, keeled
over, turned turtle and sank.
Practically the whole of the crew
were lost. Only four officers
were saved, among them the
Grand Duke Cyril. The Petro
pavlovsk wTas flying the flag of
Vice Admiral Makaroff.
The result of the naval battle,
which, according to the most re
liable authority, was in progress,
according to last reports, has not
been reported.
It is now believed that the
mine which sank the Petropa
vlovsk had drifted out of its
original position.
The last estimate of the num
ber of men who lost their lives
is 800.
The definite announcement that
Vice Admiral Makaroff was
drowmed has cast a gloom over
afftfrCcity.
It is generally believed he will
be succeeded by Rear Admiral
Rojestvensky, who was slated to
the Baltic squadron, and that
Vice Admiral Skyrdloff, com
mander of the Black sea fleet,
will be placed in command of the
Baltic squadron.
SEEK CECIL
^ — * RHODES SCHOLARSHIP.
There are only- two applicants
for the Cecil Rhodes scholarship
at Oxford which is alloted to Ar
kansas. They are Cadet Neil
Carothers, who represents the
University of Arkansas, and M.
T? Uimpnrpv nf r'nmvav who is
taking a post-graduate course at
Yale.
Considerable surprise was ex
pressed Wednesday that only one
candidate appeared for examina
tion, says the Little Rock Ga
zette. Much interest had been
manifested in the premises and
from the number of inquiries
that had been received it was
expected that half a dozen young
men would seek the honor of a
scholarship at Oxford under the
terms of the Rhodes bequest.;
Each dollege in the state was en- j
titled to one candidate.
The special sub-committee to |
conduct the examination con
sists of Judge U. M. Rose, Hon.
J. J. Doyne and Col. R. C. Hall.
MAN WITH CHECKS
arrested FOR vag.
Pine Bluff, April 13.-A rather
seedy looking individual who
I seeded to have nothing to do
was arrested this morning by
Chief of Police Culpepper and
upon being searched was found
•to have nearly $700 in checks in
his possession. He also had a de
posit slip from the bank at
Brinkley, which shows that he
deposited a draft for $95 with
the bank.
The man had no money at all
and as he could not give a very
straight account of his doings in
the city was locked up on the
charge of vagrancy jand is being
held on suspicion.
The checks which he had in his
possession were for various
amounts ranging Wi $50 to
and all signed by William
Dexter.
The man says hs got some
money from a bank at Brinkley
^^neoUh^heckslan^ai^
! to have plenty of money in the
German-American bank at Cape
I Girardeau, Mo., which place he
says is his home.
