Batt|eship Petropavlovsk Not
Destroyed by Accident
MINES SECRETLY PLACED
Jeranese Assert That Trap Was LaIo
and Russians Practically Ad'
nit That Disaster Was
No Accident.

An Associated Press dispatch says:
No further details have been received
IL ST. Petersburg of the latest bonn
bardment of Port Arthur except tna1
it was practically without results so
far as injury to the ships or fortlf1ca-
tions is concerned. The loss OF lie
was Insignificant The mystery OF the
sinking OF the battle ship PetropaV'
lcvsk has not been cleared up.
That she touched mine placed oy
japanese torpedo boats during the
night is not officially admitted, but
there is a growing disposition in unofh'
cial quarters to accept this as possl'
bly, being the true explanation. That
the mine was laid by a Tuse OF the
Jaranese is generally believed, al
though some speculation is indulged
in, which may almost be described as
fantastic.
For example, the possibility OF the
Introduction of an Internal machine
into the coal bunkers is advanced as
an EXPLANATION of the explosion which
Undoubtedly occurred on board the
battle ship.
The only thing affirmed with abso'
lutte certainty is that it was not JAP

Deceived Russian Ships.

- Advices from, Toxic state that the
japanese are elated over the successes
they have met at Port Arthur. They
are also proud Of the achievement OF
Vice Admiral Togo, particularly OF his
new strategy in countermining the ene-
my's harbor and decoying them across
this field of mines to an equally dan
gerous flank attack.
The success of the system of plac-
ing deadly counter mines is due large
ly to- a series of careful observations
made by the Japanese during their
previous attacks on Port Arthur. The
japanese saw the Russian fleet leave
the harbor and return to it several
times, and they discovered that the
Russian warships followed an Identical
course every time they came out or
went in, evidently for the purpose OF
avoiding their own mines. The JAP
anese took bearings on this course.
when the destroyer divisions of the
Japanese torpedo flotiHa laid the coun-
ter mines during the night Of April
1918, they placed them along this
course. The laying of these counter
mines was exceedingly perilous, be-
cause if any Japanese boat with mines
or board had been struck by a lucky
Russian shot, she would have been
annihilat1d.
The weather Of the night of April
1918 favored the work. There was
heavy rain, the night was dark and
cloudy and the Russian searchlights
playing over the channel failed to re-
veal the presence of the Japanese de-
stroyers.
Rear Admiral Dewa was in COM
mand Of the Japanese squadron which
decoyed the Russian ships over the
field of mines His squadron consist

PANIC IN BURNING HOSPITAL.
Patients Rushed from Sick Beds and
Narrowly Escaped Holocaust.

Patients Rushed from Sick Beds and
Narrowly Escaped Holocaust.
While the Indianapolis city fire de-
partment, reinforced by companies
from the suburbs, was being taxed
to it's utmost fighting the Occidental
hotel fire Sunday morning, an alarm
was turned in from st. Vincent hos
pital.
When the first fire company arrived
cne life had been lost and several were
seriously injured in the panic that fol.
loved.
At every window on the third and
fourth floors were crowded the panic
stricken men and women, screaming
fer help, to those on the street be-
low, who were for more than twenty
minutes prevented from entering the
building because of the dense smoke.
The panic that ragged on the third
and fourth floors continued until long
after the fire had been que <ched. Pa
tients who had just undergone surgical
oIerations rushed from their beds to
tire windows and attempted to throw
themselves on the ground.
Harriet Leahy, an old employee OF
the hospital, leaped from a window
on the fourth foor,. and when picked
up was dead.
In the rear men and women were
making ropes of bed clothes by which
they escaped to the ground below.
Katherine Beach, less fortunate than
the rest, lost her hol3 and fell from
the third floor, and is now in a crit
ical condition from internal injuries.
AS an unusual number Of surgical
operations were performed in the hos
pital on Saturday, many of the pa
tients carried from their beds by the
rescuers, were in a critical condi tn;
and the physicians in charge fear that
many fatalities may ensue.
James Dawson, an emaciated patient,
worked heroically among the panic
stricken men and women on the third
floor. One after another he pulled away
from the windows those who were
preparing to jump to the street be-
low, and piloted them through the
smoke to places of safety On the first
Gcor. Afer saving twenty-seven nurses
and patients from possible injury in
this manner he lost consciousness.
and was carried into the male ward,
where medical attention was given
him. For a time it was thought that
he could not undergo the terrible
strain to which he had been sub
jected.
Owing to the fire proof construction
the actual loss to the building will
net exceed 1000.

DEATH LIST THIRTY-TW0
Three More Men Dead as Result OF
Explosion on Missouri-How Big
Warship Was Saved.

Three more seamen who were in
jured in the terrible explosion on
board the battle ship Missouri at tar
gel practice off Pensacola, Fla, are
dead as a result. The total ist of dead
now numbers thirty-two. one man haV-
ing expired Wednesday night and two
Thursday. 1t is hardly probable that
other deaths will occur.
There is also one man of the turret
crew missing from the ship. 1t is the
general opinion that he was either
blown overheard or else escaped from
the turret by jumping overheard, be-
ins crazed with pain and with the ex-
element that then prevailed on the
ship he was not missed.
The funeral Of seventeen Of the sea-
men occurred Thursday afternoon and
each ship Of the fleet was represent
ed. Fully five thousand men were
present, while thousands from the city
of Pensacola were in attendance, ev'
cry place of business being closed Tor
the afternoon and flags over all build
ings placed at half-mast.
The bodies of the officers and eight
of the seamen were shipped to their
former homes, and the others are be-
ing held to await advices from rela'
tives.
The Missouri will not conclude her
target practice, but will go to New
York to be docked as soon as the court
Of inquiry makes its findings.
The damage to the battle ship IS
much greater than was at first stated.
In addition to the large amount of am
mun:tion ruined by the magazine be-
ing flooded, which will amount to
thousands of dollars, the after turret
is also badly injured, the top teins
burned away, and all brass work melt
e6 inside. The. hoist is charred
mass, and the mechanism Of the guns
completely ruined. The damage real
lied from the explosion VII reach
$4,000. This is the estimate placed
uron it by some naval officers.
The entire navy department is stun
ned by the appalling catastrophe.
That the newest battle ship OF the
navy had narrow escape from both
being blown to pieces by the explosion
of magazine and also beng beached
came to light Thursday.
! Captain Cowles prevented the latter
when the vessel was within ESQ yards
OF the beach by giving orders that the
ships course be changed, and Chlef
Gunner's Mate Monson saved the ship
and the lives of over six hundred men
hy closing the open magazine.
When the first explosion occurred IN
the turret the men in the handling
room knew in an instant what had oc-
Cured. The big magazine door was
oren and standing against it were four
charges Of powder Without q mo-
ment's hesitation Monson showed these
aside and jumped into the turret and
pulled the door closed after him. Tne
magazine was totally flooded with wa
ter and when the men opened the door
they found Monson barely alive, water
having reached his neck.

Battleship Strikes a
Mine and Quickly
Goes to Bottom.
Vice Admiral Makarof and
Nearly His Entire Grew
Went Down With
Fated Vessel.

An Associated Press dispatch from
St. Petersburg says: Official kilograms
from Port Arthur state that the Rus
sian battle ship Petropavlovsk has
been sunk off the entrance to the bar
Dor.
It is estimated that eight hundred
men lost their lives by the destruction
Of the ship.
Among those who were drowned
were wee Admiral Makaroff, the COM.
mander of the Russian naval forces IN
the Far East.
So far as known only four OF the
officers were saved, among them being
the Grand Duke Cyril, arst officer Of
the vessel, who was wounded.
As the Japanese feet approached.
Vice Admiral Makaroff ordered his
whole squadron out Of the harbor to-
meet the attack.
According to the Associated Press
informant, while preparing to draw up
his line of battle in the outer road
stead, the Petropavlovks struck 81

Captain N. Jakovloff, the Grand Duke
Cyril and two other officers were saw
ed because they were standing on the
upper bridge. The frightful loss oH
life among the officers and men was'
due to the fact that they were at their
stations ready for action.

But for the prompt and efticlent WORK

in the handling room occurred which

2 Bodies Terribly Mangled.
The bodies were hardly recogniza-

burnt clothing from the bodies OF the
men, ,sand the flesh hung from them in
shreds The faces were mutilated by
the smoke and flames. Only one man
was breathing when the turret crew
was rescued, and he died a moment
after he reached deck.
In less than five second after the
first explosion two streams Of water
were being played ir the rooms, and
when volunteers were called for every
man of the ship responded and were
eager to 60 into the turrets and rescue
the crew.
The second explosion occurred near

the fire that the brass work Of the

MAKARoFF BRAVE OFFICER.
Sad Fate Of Russian Admiral Creates
Profound Sensation.

The news of the death of Admiral
Makaroff caused profound sensation;
in naval and military circles at WASH.
ington, for he was probably better:
Known than any other Russian naval
officer. This was because of the fact
that he had visited the United States
in 1896-97 and also commanded the
Russian north Atlantic squadron. The.
general opinion is that Makaroff was
an officer of singular ability. In the:
matter of personal bravery he had no;
