the naval power of the United States

fifty-five war vessels are now under
contract for the government, and that
their aggregate tonnage far exceeds
that of the vessels building at any one
time in the civil war This vast con-
struction program, which has excited
more attention abroad than at home.

gress until the vessels soon to be com

ELEVEN LIVES LOST.
Terrible Result of a Gas Explosion I'm
Tunnel Under Lake Erie
Close Call for Rescuers.

Cleveland, O., July 1.-THE lives of
II men were snuffed out in the
twinkling of an eye Monday evening
in the big waterworks tunnel that is
being constructed under the bottom
of Lake Erie, as a result of an explo-
sion of gas. Following are the names
of those who were killed.
John Parks, foreman, 90 years old and
single: James Parks, brother Of John. 30
years old ard single; John Fradey an
Italian, % years old and single: Tony Bru-
netti. Italian, q years old and single En-

and single; Gus Waltz. Is years old, wife
and several children; Frank Clements,
married, with several children; John -,
italian, IS years old and single; Frank
Haney, married. aged %.
The tunnel is an immense affair, be-
ing projected to extend outward from
the shore for distance of AZ miles,
and it has been under construc-
ton for more than year. The
work has been attended with great
difficulty. About six weeks ago there
was an explosion of gas in the shore
men and injured a number of others.
Soon afterward big pocket of quick
sand was struck and work was stopped
for some time.
The explosion occurred at a few min
utes before seven o'clock Monday even
ing, but nobody will ever be able to tell
what caused it, or how it happened,
for every witness is dead and the
bodies of all are lying where they fell,
5000 feet out under the lake. The
only man in the tunnel who escaped
death is Con ODonnell, lock tender,
who was stationed 3,700 feet from the
shore. He says there were ten of the
shocks and the conclusion was some
thing terrible, for it threw him off
| his feet, and for hours he was in
such a dazed condition that he could
scarcely remember what had hap
pened He finally CROPPED his way out
and told what had happened.
/ Two men, Patrick Warner and Mar
I tin McCauley, were the first to venture
/ in the tunnel after the accident oc-
CURED. They made their way to a
| lock 5000 feet from the shore, but
were there overcome by the gas and
! fell TO the floor. When they failed to
return, a young man named James

was killed and who was employed as
/ a mule driver went to their rescue

/ lying over mule cart, and succeeded

sion The extent of the damage is not
Vet known. When the warships ceased
firing and before Gen. Shafter had be-
gun a land attack, flag of truce was
seen coming from the city. The object
of this is not known.
Cen Shafter believes the Spanish
troops have taken advantage of the
truce to fee from the city. The attacl,
on the city Sunday was not an attempt
to capture the city.
At two o'clock Monday afternoon
the United States auxiliary cruiser
Yale with Gen. Nelson 4. Miles, and
the United States protected cruiser
Columbia arrived. Rear Admiral
Sampson visited Gen Miles immediate
ly on his arrival, and then the Yale
went TO Siboney, Gen. Miles and his
