NEW YORK, April 8.-Oscar 8. Straus,
former minister to Turkey, speaking of the.
cabled reports as to the (ear of antl-Soml-tlo
massacres In Odessa and Kleff, In south
ern Russia, said today that he had accu
rate knowledge that pamphlets and cir
culars were recently distributed In Odessa
for the purpose of arousing the lower ele
ment to repeat In that city during the
coming Russian Easter the massacres
which took place a year ago In KlshlnefC.
The matter, said Mr. Straus, has been
taken up by the British government, Lord
Hotliwchlld having brought It to the at
tention of Lord Lunndowne. In this coun
try President Roosevelt promptly caused
Secretary Hay to bring the. situation to
the attention of Ambusaudor Casalnl at
Washington, with the request to immedi
ately place the matter before his govern
ment at Bt. Petersburg ond convey the
president's hope that the government at
Bti Petersburg would tiso all posuible pre
cautions to prevent a recurrence or the
terrible outrages of a year ago, whk'h
caused such widespread protons on tho
part of the people and the religious bodies
throughout this country.
There Is reason to believe that the ac
tion taken by the government at St. Peters
burg In instructing Governor Neldhart, who
Is in charge of. Odessa, and Karon Kaul
bant, who Is In command of the troops In
that district of Russia, will have the de
sired effect In checking any antl-ScmlUo
manifestations.
Aside from the humanitarian considera
tion that has actuated the president and
BMcretary Hay In calling Ambassador ITaa
slni's attention to the alarm that Is felt
In this country, our government In the in
terest of friendly relations desires to pre
vent any occasion for such manifestations
of publlo opinion which would put a strain
upon the strictly neutral attitude this
country seeks to malntnln In the present
war between Russia and Japan.

BERLIN, April 8-The Southwest Afri
can correspondent of th Cologne Uazette.
Dr. Moelienhoff, hss sent his paper a
graphic letter describing the relief of Oma
ruru, February 1 from which It appears
that both sides fought with desperate
courage. When the garrison of Omaruru
heard tho firing of the artillery of . the re
lief corps, twenty-five of the belesgured
force made a sortie against the enemy,
who held a natural fortification consisting
of a line of cliff-like piojecting rocks.
"The Herrtros attacked in front and
rear," says Dr. Moelienhoff, "and held their
ground with marvelous tenacity. - When
the Germans rushed among them many of
the Herreros crept Into crevices in the
rocks, where they were bayonetted. Lieu
tenant von Koellemarth received a mortal
wound from a Herrero twenty paces dis
tant and a German cavalryman searching
the rocks for wounded men was killed at a
few paces' rangs.
"After being driven from this position the
Herreros took up a new one, contesting
the ground inch by inch and leaving a
number of dead at every rallying point.
After tho hottest firing was over the enemy
fired at the German wounded from neigh
boring pushes and the surgeons dressed the
wounds while bullets were whizzing in the
air. The Herreros lost about 100, killed or
wounded, of their opproxlmate total, COO
men. The German loss was eight men
killed and ten wounded."
STATE STORM SWEPT
Continued from First Page.
Stuart and O'Neill, being one of the heaviest
falls of snow up there for the winter. He
said:
"The snow began falling in that section
Thursday, but the weather was not very
cold. The snowfall is much heavier all
along the Northwestern line of railway
than In the eastern section of the state."
L. H. Bochman, nurseryman of 4335 Bin-
ney street, said:
"The storm has not been severe enough
to hurt fruit buds at all in this locality, nor
elsewhere throughout the state. The buds
are not out enough to be damaged by a
storm like this. In fact, I do not think that
fruit is hurt at all by the storm, nor has
It been hurt during tho winter thus far."

Terror-8 trk) ten Cut in ttorw
SOME INJURED. BUt- NO ONE IS KIllED
Old Rooming Hoase on Jones Street
Seised by Klamea In Early "
Morning- from t'nknown
Origin.
A fire of unknown origin was discovered
at the rooming house of Mra. J. Butler, 1411 i
ones street, at 2:80 yesterday morning
nd caused a panic among the eighteen
families, aggregating fifty persons, occupy
ing It.
Kirk Anderson, one of the roomers and a
porter at the Thurston hotel, jumped from
he third floor, breaking one' of his legs,
Injuring the other and shattering his chin,
besides sustaining numerous body bruises.
He was taken to th police station and at
tended and later sent to Bt. Joseph's hos
pital, where he is now resting aa easily a
could be expected. HI Injuf Ie are consid
ered serious, but not necessarily fatal. '
George Pickerel!, a fireman of No. I en
gine company, fell through a burning stair
way and sustained an ugly cut on" the sldo
of the head. One of his shoulders was
bruised and hi, hands were cut, beside
other bruises of a' superficial nature. He
was taken to Clarkson hospital. It was
reported that none of Plckerell's bone was
broken and that he is resting well and
that no serious consequences ar expected
from the Injuries.
Mrs. Peterson dropped her two babies
from a third-story window to a blanket
being held below. One of the Infants
landed on the outstretched fabric and was
none the worse for Its downward flight,
but the other baby, heavier than the first,
went through the blanket and sustained a
light shock. The blanket did not tear
suddenly with the second child, who Is
said to have sustained no' perceptible In
juries. Having saved her two babies, Mrs.
Peterson then made her own escape safely
and by more ordinary means.
Loss Less Than One Thousand.
It Is estimated that the loss to the build
ing and contents will be under 81,000, as, al
though the Are burned with considerable
fury for awhile, it wa confined to tha
center of the house around the stairway,
where it started. The Insurance 1 scat
tered, but i supposed to cover all loss.
As to the origin of the fire there seems
to be a difference of opinion, some of the
occupants advancing the theory that a
hall lamp was overturned, but this Is
merely hearsay. Officials of the fire de
partment are ot the opinion that it might
have been started by mice and matches,
the fire apparently having had Its origin
in a partition near the stairway on ths
first floor.
When one of the roomers awakened the
eighteen families, consisting of fifty peo
ple, with the cry of fire, during the early
morning hour, there was such a scene of
consternation and panto that no one
thought of stopping to see how hit where
the firs started. Beginning, as it did, near
tho main stairway of the front part of the
building, there Wal particular reason for
anxiety on ths port of the occupant when
they saw one of their means of esoaps
being destroyed by ths flames. The house
Is an old on, and ha been remodeled at
various times to suit ths purposes of an
apartment building, and considering the
irregularity ot Its hallways and stairways,
tha hour of the fire, the .velocity of the
wind, tb number of occupants, and , the
fact wtlfM ha f department waa at the
time of the' alarm a few block away at
another fire, the wonder was ' that there
was no loea nor more injuries of human
life. , .
Old Omaha Land Mnrk.
The house Is one ot the old land marks
of Omaha, having been built thirty-five
years ago by Dr. J. H. Peabody,' 2238 Far-
narn street. Dr. Peabody lived In the
house for many years and several years
ago the building passed Into the possession
ot Attorney George E. Prltchett.
The patrolman on that beat say he
passed the building halt an hour before
the alarm was sent In and did notsee any
signs of fire. Th alarm was turned in
by one of the roomers, who rang in at
Thirteenth and Jackson street, and later
telephoned it in from th Thurston hotel.
The department, at the time the alarm
was turned in, was fighting a fir at 1706
Jackson street, and on going to Thirteenth
and Jackson street found It had to double
back again, and a little Urn wa lost
before the blase was located.
The scene in th hotel waa on of wildest
panto by th time th firemen arrived. Men
and women In tneir nignt clothe shouted and
screamed and called for help. On of th
roomer had tried to get out hi trunk, but
abandoned It at the foot ot th stairs; thus
causing an obstruction which seemed to
drive the panic-stricken people almost
frenzied. In the crush many had their
clothes torn. The cold high wind helped
the flame considerably and for a time it
looked aa If th whole building wa doomed.
Patrolman Hell mounted a ladder sad
houted to th people to keep calm and
began passing women and children through
the window. II managed to save-three
children and two women In this Vsy. Tb
act required great pluck and nerve, a tha
building wa liable to have collapsed any
moment, and he had just seen Fireman
Picker! fall to th ground as a result of
a balustrade breaking. ,
People Scream for Friend. '
So great was the terror of the people that
no sooner were they out of tb building
than some of them attempted to get back
again, often calling out to th firemen to
sav someono whom tbey thought had been
left behind. On th west side of th build
ing blankets wr held and about half a
dozen children thrown out of the window
onto them.
Clod only In their night dresses, and In
on ca entirely naked, th roomer hod to
face a cold wind and a driving aleet. To
add to th discomfort a bos Jin burst
and apoutad a stream of water right on
them as they cam out of th building.
Everywhere men wer taking off their over
coat to comfort th woman, ofttlme th
man himself having on nothing but a tbln
shirt and pair of trousers. One girl clad In
nightdress hod managed to save a H0
gold piece, but as she was running across
