Tribune Republicans special says:
At two this afternoon news was re-
ceived in this city that eleven men,
working on Homestake mine, on
Homestake mountain, on Eagle
river, were buried in snow slide.
A special train from here carrying
relief party left within an hour for
the scene of disaster. Arriving ut the
point nearest to the mine, the
party was met by crowd of excited
miners, who informed them that it
was useless to attempt to reach the
mine through the wilderness of soft
snow, even with snow shoes, at that
time of day. The party returned to
Leadvllle and will repeat the trip
early in the morning, when
it is hoped the snow will bear the
weight of men. The missing men
are Martin Borden and brother, Sy-
vester, of Nova Scotia; Horace w.
Matthews and brother, Joseph, Of
Iowa; John Locke and John Burns,
of England; Charles Richards, of
Nova Scotia: Chris. Harvey, Of Lead
vile; Robert Campbell, Of Red Cliff.

WINNIPEG, April 25.--The Free
Pres correspondent telegraphs
from Clark Crossing: "a messen-
ger came down from camp this morn
Ing, and reports that when he lett
the rehels were out of the bush, be-
hind the ravine, cheering and jeering
the troops TGe guns were ordered
up to drive them Oft, but they caD-
tured one, a medicine chest and q
few boxes of canned beef. The cor
respondent also reported that the
officers would not allow him to come
down on the east side, telling him
that there were rebels in the wood
at Mackentosh. This strengthens the
impression that the insurgents have
prevented any messengers from COM
ing through from Middleton. To-
night Middle ton seems t. be unable
to accomplish anything of import
ance in the way of an advance on
the rebels 1t Is understood here
that he is hampered by he necessity
of caring for the wounded and hav-
ing supplies and ammunition for
warded. 1t appears at present as If
no further fighting would take place
before Sunday. All reports of yes
terday's fight show that the rebels
had DECIDEDLY the best of it. They
,wrre drawn from one part of their
position but had the raviDe
and their fire caused terrible
havoc among the troops. Middleton
evidently did not properly appreciate
the firing qualities of the half-breeds,
or he would not have sent raw volun-
teers, unaccustomed to rife shooting,
to disIodge from SO strong q
sition, such accomplished sharp
shooter. as the insurgents. The
latter fired with deadly accuracy
from behind shelter. Middl' tons
repulse is almost sure to stir the
Indians up to renewed ravage. The
Canadian loss was IL killed and AZ
wounded. Middleton's position is
regarded as very precariour.

WAR CERTAIN.
The Feeling Growing Rapidly that
Russia is Determined to
Have Fight.
England Preparing. but Certainly
Not Enthusiastic for
the Fight.

LONDON, April 25.-To-night the
situation appears to be very serious.
II looks as if Russia desires war, and
as if England will be compelled to
acce t a challenge TO fight. The
common people of England, that is
those who read or gossip at the
"pubs," and know what is going on,
seem to believe that there will be
war, but they are not enthusiastic
about it.
The London Spectator says the
very persistence with which the
Russian papers are urging the
seizure of Herat is an evidence that
they have been inspired for the
purpose of preparing the Russian
