COUGHING its reply In the most friendly
tone, refuses to withdraw the friars
from the Philippines within any fixed
period of time, explaining that 1t Is
impossible, as it would put the holy

promises, however, that the friars
shall not return to their parishes and
that priests of other nationalities, es-
pecially Americans, shall be intro

Rivers mt Des MOines Recede and No
Further Damage from Flood
Anticipated.

Des Moines, Ia, July 14.-Water in
both rivers is receding slowly, and no
further damage from the food is an
ticipated. The river still covers miles
of residence and business territory,
however, and business in the factory
and wholesale districts is largely sus-
pended. Many hundreds of flood suf-
ferers are being sheltered in tents
and fed at public expense, and will be
dependent on charity for several weeks.
Topeka, Kan, July 1.-THE Kaw
river continues to rise gradually, and
is fully foot higher than Friday. The
water has crept up over the driyeways
in the city park, and in North Topeka
more residents in the lowlands have
been forced to leave their homes. The
mill owners have moved their grain
from the river warehouses, and an
increased force have been put to work
at the packing house pumping out
water. The Santa Fe fast mail from
the east Saturday morning was sent
via Ottawa, owing to washout at
Lake View. near Lawrence. The Santa
Fe and Rock Island switches here

Victims of Explosion Near johns

List Has Reached ia.

Johnstown, Pa, July 14.-One hum
dred and fourteen are now known to
be dead from Thursdays explosion at
the Rolling Mill mine of the Cambria
Steel company. 1t is not probable that
this record will be swelled to any great
extent. Many funerals took place
Saturday, every undertaken in Johns
town having more than he could we'll
attend to. Down below a quarter of
mile the streets of Conemaugh City
were clogged with corteges.
At three o'clock Saturday morning
the charred and mutilated bodies of
Is victims were brought to the West
mont pit mouth and taken to The
morgue. The bodies were found in
the upper end of No. right heading,
where the explosion occurred. The
bodies were all lying far in from the
point of the explosion and could not
be reached until the heading had
been entirely cleared of the noxious
gases. Three deaths occurred during
the night at Cambria hospital. These
were among the last living victims
who were brought out of the mine
Friday afternoon in an unconscious
condition.
Another of these is in a precarious
condition. 1t was learned at the pit
mouth Saturday from mine officials
that every heading and chamber both
to the right and left of the main
Klondike heading were penetrated
during the night and that not trace
of any dead or living victims were
found. 1t is admitted that some
might have crawled into obscure
workings in their fight from the
afterdamp which followed the explo-
sion. and these succumbed to the
fatal influence of the gas.
Mine Superintendent George Il. Rob-
inson was at his Office early Saturday.
He said they would have the mine
ready for work by to-day. He said
there was not the slightest danger
from explosion since the original and
only one of Thursday. The mine, he
admitted, especially the section known
as Klondike. always contained gas. 1t
did not exist in dangerous quantities,
he said, and to cause an explosion some
one must have violated the rule as to
lights. Every precaution was taken to
guard against accident.
Superintendent. Robinson strongly
commends the Johnstown doctors for
their bravery that saved the lives of a
dozen or more men.
when we made our first dash into
the mine," he said. "we were taking
our lives in our hands, as none knew
what was beyond in our course. The
doctors came on and followed our lead
without the slightest tremor."
Johnstown, Pa, July 14.-Friends OF
the dead miners and employees who
lost their lives on Thursday have been
going over the list of dead with view
of learning the number of widows and
fatherless children left behind and
who will be made helpless by the catas-
trophe According to the most reli-
able data there are GA widows and 1873
children.

Hendricks of People in Des Moines
Forced to sleep Outdoors Be
cause of the Flood.

Des Moines, Ia, July 1.-THE flood
situation reached it's most alarming
stage in the history of the city Thurs
day morning. The Des Moines river
was 81 feet above low water mark at
seven o'clock, having risen three feet
in less than ten hours.
Des Moines, Ia, July 12.-Hundreds
of homeless flood sufferers spent
Thursday night in schoolhouse yards
and in downtown parks without SO
much as a blanket to cover them.
Some had to beg for food, although
every possible effort is being taken to
provide for them. The charitable So
cieties and city officials are becoming
better organized and 1t is believed the
wants will be generally met.
Neither the Des Moines nor the Rae
coon rivers have receded perceptibly.
The net decline since the highest point
was reached is but two or three inches,
and the Des Moines actually rose half
inch during the night. 1t is believed
the situation in the flooded district
cannot be materially relieved for sew
eral days and that when the water
finally reaches it's former channel an
epidemic of malaria and typhoid fever
will prevail. An estimate of the dam
age at this time is practically impos-
sible. 1t Is expected to reach mil
lion dollars
