Claudius Bombarnac

{{Tr|an unknown hand}}. This translation begins
Claudius Bombarnac, Special Correspondent, "Twentieth Century," Tiflis, Transcaucasia.
Such is the address of the telegram I found on the 13th of May when I arrived at Tiflis.
This is what the telegram said,—
"As the matters in hand will terminate on the 15th instant Claudius Bombarnac will repair to Uzun Ada, a port on the east coast of the Caspian. There he will take the train by the direct Grand Transasiatic between the European frontier and the capital of the Celestial Empire."
