THE TURKESTAN MOUNTAIN SLIDE.
DEATH RATE MINIMISED. Received November 4, 8.33 a.m. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 3. Advices received from Kokand, in Russian Turkestan, state that twothirds of the population of the town of Karatagh (in Bokhara, and 100 milts southeast of Samarkand), which numbers 2,500, have been killed. (Last week Reuter's correspondent at Tashkend, the capital of Russian Turkestan, reported that a terrible earthquake had occurred in Western Turkestan on October 21st, and that 15,000 people had lost their lives. The earthquake caused a great mountain slide, which buried the town of Karatagh.)
