FIFTEEN THOUSAND JAPS
SLAIN OR WOUNDED
II. Petersburg cablegram Says Rus
slams Lost Three Thousand.

st. Petersburg: It was reported
Monday that Foreign Minister Lams-
iorff had received a message from the
Russian Consul at Chefoo, saying
hat the Japanese had made land at
ack on Port Arthur and that in doing
30 they lost $1,000 killed or wound
ed.
The Russian loss is placed at 1900
men.
The ultimate outcome of the fight
ng is not stated.
A dispatch was received here stat
ing that there was an explosion Mon
lay on board the battleship Oriel at
Cronstadt and that ten stOkers were
billed. The vessel was damaged and
it will take weeks to effect repairs.
The explosion, according to the dis
patch, was the result Of the accumu-
ation of gas in the bunkers.
An investigation made by the au-
thorities into the recent attempts
to destroy some of the vessels Of
the Baltic feet at Cronstadt has re-
suited in the arrest of four Japanese
spies, who seem to have escaped de-
lection by wearing the uniform of
naval cadets, thus obtaining admis-
sion to the navy yard and access to
tue ships without difficulty.

TEN MINERS KILLED
BY SULPHUR FUMES
Gas from Locomotive Proves Fatal
to Occupants of Coach.

Wilkesbarre. Pa: A telegram re-
ceived at the Susquehanna coal COM
pany's offices in this clCy Wednesday
evening states that ten miners were
suffocated by gas and sulphur fumes
from a locomotive Wednesday after
noon in the workings of the Summit
branch coal company at Williamstown,
Dauphin county.
The tunnel in which the disaster oc-
Cured is one mile in length, and is
used by the coal company to convey
the coal mined in the workings in
the Bear valley to the breaker in
the Williams valley. About 4 o'clock
Foreman Golden and about fifty min.
ers boarded loaded train, which was
about to be hauled from Bear valley
to Willlamstown. Everything went all
right until about half of the tourney
was made, when some of the men
attracted the attention of the engineer,
who at once stopped, and it was found
that nearly every man in the party
on the cars had been overcome by the
gas and sulphur which emanated
from the stack of the locomotive and
fioated back over them. The engineer
at once crowded on all steam and the
unconscious men were hurried to the
Wastown end of the tunnel. A CORPS
of physicians made every effort to re-
suscicate them, but aid came too late
to Foreman Golden and the other vic
Tins.
All telephone and telegraph wires
leading to Williamstown were put out
of service by a storm Wednesday
afternoon, and Williamstown was cut
off until evening, when the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company restored its
service.

mated between 100000 and $780,

appeals have been sent out to ship
in food and provisions.

store and provision house has been
licked up by the flames.

was called out and the Greenwood
company was sent for to REINFORCE
the local authorities.
Three persons are known to have
been seriously hurt, and rumors are
current that several negroes persisted
in me flames. These reports cannot
be verified The devastation of the
business district is complete.
Twenty-eight blocks were licked
clean by the flames, and only the black.
ened brick walls and smoldering en-
bers mark the spot where handsome
buildings stood.
OF the total number of buildings
destroyed. fully $50 were magnificent
residences, many of old Colonial archi-
lecture and occupied by some of the
wealthiest citizens of the South.

STORM PORT ARTHUR
Veterans of Chinese War Chosen for
Final Effort to Reduce Fortress.

Shimoncski, Japan: Active prepare
tons are progressing for the reduction
Of Port Arthur. 1t is understood that
the place will be attacked by part of
the 5th division belonging to the Sd
nrmy. The force has been carefully
chosen. 1t consists mainly of veter-
ans of the ChineseJapanese war, who
were drawn from the Yamaguchi per-
lecture, and who have served the long.
est possible period with the colors.
Very heavy artillery is being landed
on the Tao Tung peninsula. Much of
the preliminary work will be done
by the artillery engineers. The Jap
anese are determined to reduce the
fortress by storm, no matter what the
cost in life.
The second army will not share in
the operations at Port Arthur, but
will join the first army, which is
now moving on Hardin. The Japan
csc land plans have not been modi-
fed The temporary seeming unac-
ton is merely due to the unexpected
successful course of events. The 81.
multaneous restarting of aggressive
land operation will be shared by all
the land forces.

SEVEN KILLED IN
AN OHIO EXPLOSION
Accident in a st. Louisan's Torpedo
and Fireworks Factory.

Findlay, Ohio: AS a result of an ex.
plosion in the two drying rooms OF
the Lake Shore novelty company's
plant of which ]. B. Ferris of St.
Louis is president, here Sunday, seven
persons are known to be dead, FIVE
more are so seriously hurt that re-
covery is believed to be impossible,
and twelve or fifteen are badly in
jured. From reports of the physician
ten of the less severely injured may
die as a result of blood poisoning
from the potash that was driven into
their bodies.
Sunday morning the residents Of
Findoly were startled by two eXplo-
sions that shattered windows through
out the city The conclusion was felt
for miles around. Two magazines in
separate rooms at the novelty works
let go simultaneously with terrible
reports. The exact cause of the eX-
plosion is not definitely known. 1t is
surmised that one of the Sherwood
brothers, who were the only persons
in the drying rooms, dropped a large
box of torpedoes, bpt this theory can
not be confirmed
The property loss is 100000. The
plant, it Is said. will not be rebuilt.
Most of the funerals occurred Monday
and business was generally suspend
ed Three bodies were found at a
distance of 300 feet from the scene

VATICAN RUPTURE
is EMPHASIZED
Nisard Returns to Paris, and France
Will Withdraw De Navenne.

Paris: NJ. Nisard, the former Am
bassador of France to the Holy See,
arrived here Monday and conferred
with Foreign Minister Delcasse rela-
tive to closing negotiations with the
Papal Secretary of State, Cardinal
Merry Del Val.
1t is announced that the Ambassa-
dor was recalled in the full sense Of
the diplomatic term, the French Gov
eminent having given up its first plan
to give him indefinite leave Of abb
sence.
The rupture Is further emphasized
by the determination of France to
withdraw NJ. de Navenne, its Minister
at the Vatican.
When the rupture was first decided
upon it was the intention to continue
NJ. de Navenne at Rome as Charge
d'Ahaires for the purpose of trans.
acting routine business. NJ. de Ma.
venue is now here on leave, and 1t has
been decided that he shall not return
to take up his duties as Minister.
Papal Nuncio Mgr. Lorenzelli gave
out an explanation Monday of his
statement that he would not leave
because Rome had no taste for reply
ing to provocations."
Mgr. Lorenzelli explains that the
word "provocations" did not refer to
the action of the French Government,
which had a perfect right to withdraw
its Ambassador but to the provoca.
tions of French newspapers in sug'
costing his recall

TYNER AND BARRETT
ACQUITTED BY JURY
Verdict Returned within % Minutes
After Attorneys Close Arguments.

washington: Within twenty-five
minutes after the retirement of the
jury in the case of James N. Tyner
and Harrison ]. Barrett, tried on the
charge of conspiracy in connection
with their duties Of law officers of
the Post-Offce Department, the YER
dict of not guilty was returned.
The throng which filed the court
room throughout the argument to the
jury hardly had time to leave the
building before the jury was back,
and the foreman announced that YER
dict had been reached. General Ty-
ner, expecting longer wait, had been
wheeled from the room, and his neph.
ew and codefendant fastened to give
an order which caused his return.
General Tyner appeared greatly ex-
cited as he attempted to face the jury,
and when the verdict was returned he
broke down completely. Several of
the Jurors wept, and all of them shook
hands with him.
The Tyner-Barrett case was begun
on May 2, and has been before the
mass of testimony was offered. The
prosecution brought forward an army
of witnesses, the majority of whom
were former officers of the bond in.
vestment companies, through which
Harrison ]. Barrett, junior defendant,
was alleged to have profited after he
left the Post-Office Department, by
practicing before his uncle, who re-
manned in the department.
The principle arguments made We'd
nesday were by A. s. Worthington,
for the defense, and Major Holmes
Conrad, special counsel for the Gov
eminent, for the prosecution. The lat
ter directed his efforts almost entirely
to an attempt to counteract any in
fiuence on the jury's verdict which
might result from sympathy for Gen
eral Tyner. He told the jury that they
had no right to entertain sympathy
for General Tyner or the young wife
of Mr.. Barrett, who was a witness in
the defendants behalf.
