Starch Mill at Waukegaa
Collapsed Umler Force of
Terrific Explosion.
Three Known Dead, but This List
May be Increased to More
Than q Score.
A ForInight's Hard Work Will be
Required to Clear Away
the Debris.3

Chicago, Feb. 25.-Three men were
killed and eighteen injured last night
in an explosion that wrecked the starch
mill of the Warner Sugar Refining
company, at Waullegan, Ill. 1t is pos
sible that the number of dead will
exceed three. but it will be at least
a fortnight before the wreckage of the
mill can be cleaned up in such a man
ner that it can be positively known
that no more bodies are in the debris
The reports of the dead run all the
way from three to twenty-five. The
evidence, however, is in favor of the
lower number
The starch mill, which was entirely
destroyed by the force of the explO-
sion, was brick building four stories
high, 200 feet long by 100 feet wide.
The structure with the machinery it
contained was valued at SZ50000.
The building and all it contained is
total loss. No definite cause is
known for the explosion.
The force of the explosion was ter
rife. Windows in the town of Wau-
kegan, one and one-half miles from
the starch mill were smashed into
fragments and window sashes that had
been part of the factory were found
hanging on telegraph wires three
squares from the scene of the eXplO-
sion.
Had the explosion taken place thirty
minutes after the time it occurred, the
loss of life must have been very heavy.
The day shift had left the plant and
the night men had not yet gone to
work. In the opinion of the officials
of the company, and of the chief of
police of Waukegan, the number of
dead and wounded will not vary great
~ from that given above.

The Official Account.

St Petersburg, Feb. 25.-A telegram
from Viceroy Alexieff to the ear says:
cat quarter before in the morn
torpedo boats attempted to attack the
battleship Retvizan and sink the large
steamers loaded with inf1ammables.
The Retvizan was the first to observe
the torpedo boats, and opened a strong
fire on them. She was supported by
the land batteries. She destroyed two
steamers near the entrance of the har-
Dor; they were corning directly to-
wards her. One of them went on the
rocks near the light house on Tiger
peninsular, and the other sank under
Golden Hill. The Retvizan observed
four steamers in a sinking condition
and eight torpedo boats departing
slowly to rejoin the waiting Japanese
warships portion OF the crews of
the Japanese vessels was drowned.
The grounded steamer is still burning.
The enemy is observed in the off
ing of Port Arthur in TWO lines. The
Japanese crews saved themselves in
boats, and it is possible that some of
them were picked up by the enemy's
torpedo boats.
I am proceeding TO examine the
coasts. The entrance Of the harbor
is open. l attribute the complete de-
rangement of the enemy's plan to the
brilliant action and destructive fire of
the Retvizan. Floating mines are still
visible in the roadstead. | have re-
called the three cruisers sent in pur-
suit of the enemy in order, in the first
ing mines.

ST. PETERSBURG JOYFUL
News of Russian Victory Causes In
tense Excitement.


ST. Petersburg, Feb. 25.-3eports of
a Russian victory at Port Arthur were
current late yesterday afternoon and
last night they were definitely con-
firmed by a message from Viceroy
Alexicf.
At first the stories of the dimensions
of this victory were most conflicting
and confusing in character The most
circumsantial report was that the Jap
anese had attempted to bottle up Ad-
miral Starke's fleet in Port Arthur by
sinking two stone laden vessels at the
entrance of the harbor, employing the
tactics which were considered, but not
executed by the late Admiral Samp-
son, q. S. N, with the Merrimac at
Santiago during the Spanish-American
war. According to this account two
Japanese ships appeared off the har-
bor with a fleet behind them and
ostensibly in pursuit. The Russians
however, suspected a ruse and their
ships steamed out, sank the stone
laden vessels, engaged and defeated
the enemy and drove them off The
reports of the loss inflicted, however,
are conflicting
All the stories included the feature
of the vessels loaded WITH stones but
according to some versions the Japan
csc fleet was conveying transports
will. the purpose of effeeting landing
at Pigeon bay, and, after the failure
OF this preliminary maneuver the Rus
SLAMS played havoc with both the Jap
anese transports and war ships, sink
ing four of the transports and two of
the war ships. One account even
gives the name Of the nattlesnip Ret
vizan as the vessel which particularly
distinguished herself during the action
by ramming and sinking one of the
Japanese battleships.
Rumors of this victory were spread
far and wide over the city during the
early part of the evening, and the
crowds which had gathered in the
streets despite the severe cold to dis
cuss the news, were greatly excited.
The news of the victory was accom-
panied by two stories, one that after
the first decisive Russian victory the
emperor would offer peace and the 9th
er that Japan had deposed the emperor
of Korea and formally annexed that
country Both these reports are with
out confirmation and they are given
simply as examples of the stories
which f1oated about in the excited
crowds.

It must be observed that in his dis

ton the number of steamers which
the Japanese tried to sink or drive
upon the Russian ships, and it is not
yet known whether the four vessels
the captain of the Retvizan observed
going down. in addition to the two de
stroyed, were also laden with inf1am-
mables or whether they were war
ships.
The greatest praise is given to the

Together at ST. Thomas.
St Thomas, D. w l., Feb. 25.-A
fight occurred here between sailors
from a Spanish and an American war
ship which resulted in the wounding
of several men and an ultimate victory
for the Americans.
The fight originated when a seaman
from the United States cruiser Col
umbia jostled a sailor from the Span
ish cruiser Rio de la Plata as he pass
ed him in the street The Spaniard
was with a companion from his ship,
as was the American sailor and all
the men were on shore liberty. The
Spanish sailor drew a stiletto and ser
iously wounded the American who had
brushed against him. Other men from
the Columbia who were on shore gath
cred around their companions and at
tackled the two Spaniards, who de-
Tended themselves with their knives
and succeeded in slightly wounding
several other Americans. They finally
escaped, ran to the wharf and jumped
into the water. They were picked up
by a harbOr boat and taken on board
their warship. The wounded Ameri-
can sailor is in a hospital here in a
critical condition
