{and displayed a red flag while making
their escape,
The postoffice authorities admit that
the robbers got away with several
thousand rubles. This was the first
Important raid In two months and
shows that the terrorists were not sup

CHESS CUP WILL TRAVEL.
The International Cable Tournament
Looks Like British Victory,
NEW YORK, Feb. Zi When play
fn the ninth International cable chess
match between feams representing
American and Great Britain closed the
chances of the American team looked
rather slim.
Of the ten games started the Amert-
cans had won one, the Britishers two
and one had been drawn Howell,
with a Giuoce plano opening, defeated
Mitchell on the twenty-first move, but
the enthusiasm of the Americans was
short lived, for the British claimed a
victory for Richmond over Morgan,
the latter falling to olmerve the time
limit
The rules called for twenty moves
an hour, while Morgan, understanding
! that all he was required to do was to
make forty moves in two hours, falled
i to keep within the limit for the first
| hour,
On the tenth board Walnwright de
feated Robinsen, the American, and
Marshall drew with Burr on the first
board. The match will continue tp-
day, but from the positions on the
other six boards it Is probable that the
Sir George Newnes cup, which has
been held for two years by the Brook-
Iyn Chess club, will take another trip
across the Atlantic.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb 23 — There

time, but finally came through with a
three lgpgths lead at the finish. In
the Martha Washington handicap, at
four furlongs, Mollle Montrose, at 13

distance. This makes five straight
victories for Molile Montrose out of as

Henry of Holland Goes Out

TEN SAVED BY HEROIC SURFMES,
Thousands on Shore Cheer Rescue

HOOK OF HOLLAND, Holland, Feb.
Z3.—Prince Henry of the Netherlands,
husband of Queen Wilhelming, joined
the intrepid force of life savers, who
suffering great hardships, battled for
thirty-five hours to save the Survivors
of the steamship Berlin, wrecked here
The prince, setting a fine example
braved mountainous seas and a freez
which ten persons were clinging.
The prince consort after his first
visit to the wreck, when he saw with
his own eyes that there were still some
survivors on board declared: “We
won't return to The Hague before we
save them. We must get them some
how."
He was beaten back many times, but
the prince had the satisfaction of sce
ing a hardy boat lead of surfmen, not
to be outdone by him, drive through
the seas to alwost certain death, board
the steamer's hull and take ten people
huddled there into their boat and row
safely back to shore
After long hours of waiting on shore
the people began to doubt the trdth of

In the meanwhile every preparation
was belug made at the harbor to take
care of the ludividuals rescued. Six
motor cars, Includiug that belouging to
the prince consorl, were drawn up In
readiness to convey the survivors to
the Amerika hotel, where a =taff of
medical men especially suminoned was
walting to give succor
The small lifeloat was the frst to
reach the harbor, and Captain Jansen
its skipper, received round upon ound
of ringing cheers. Ie that

the rescue had been effects] by both
boats working in conjunction First
the small boat managed with Infinite
difficulty to make fast a rope to the
breakwater, and by this means the sur
vivors were dragged through the wa

What makes the wreck mest horri
ble Is the fact that the Berlin struck
almost within reaching distance of
land and that a sister ship was close
enough under moderate weather condi
tions to have rescued all her passen
gers. This ship was the Clacton of the
Great Eastern railway. Waves forty
feet high and a gale blowing toward
the shore compelled the Clacton to
hold off, Against the waves and the
wind It was {mpossible to pat out life
boats from shore
Captain Parkinson of the Holt Bteam
ship line, who was ou his way to Am-
sterdam on board the Berlin to Jolu his
vessel, the Myrmidon. and take Ler
back to Liverpool, is one of the eleven
survivors of the disaster Ie sald that
the catastrophe was due to the fact
that the Berlin broached to in the ter
rific sea as she was entering the wa
ferway and that before she was able
to recover herself she was dashed upon
the pler head and parted amidships
The straggling little village of the
Hook of Holland is filled with anxious
relatives of the passengers and crew of
the Berlin, and heartrending scenes are
witnessed at the improvised mortuary,
where the thirty-five bodies which al
ready have been wakhed up are lying
Many of these are battered beyond rec
ognition, and some are without heads
and others without arms or legs
Veteran pilots and seamen who
watched the Berlin being driven to her
doom say the gale was the flervest in
MANY years
It has been discovered that the wreck
of the Berlin Is resting on the remains
of the British steamer Leeds, which
was lost on this same spot in 1882

The whale first appeared a mile off

binoculars revealed a great wallowing
leviathan, It dived at Intervals of two

Captain Sparks reckoned some hun:
