Removing Russian Mines.

Toxic, June 8, $3.50 p. NIT is sus'
pected here that the Russians at Port
Arthur are communicating with points
on the seacoast by means of wireless
telegraphy. 1t was reported that a
wireless station had been erected Sc
cretly a, the village of Peh Wang, on
Takin island, one of the Mao Tao
group, which are situated in Pechli
strait and the Japanese cruiser Chito-
sea visited the island yesterday to in.
vestigate. She did not, however. find
anything. 1t is reported that another
such station has been erected near
Shan Hal Kwan, and the Japanese are
investigating this matter.
Yesterday the Chitosea steamed in
close to Lao Tshan promontory and
discovered four masts and watch
house near the coast. One Of these
masts evidently was fitted for wireless
telegraphy operations. The Chitosea
reports having heard series of eX-
plosions at Port Arthur and believes
them to have resulted from hastings
preparatory to the emplacement of
new batteries.
The Japanese torpedo boat destroyer
Ikazuchi yesterday discovered and ex-
ploded a large mine off San Shan
island, at the entrance to Talienwan
bay.
The Japanese naval authorities en-
gagged In clearing out the mines in the
vicinity of Talienwan bay are employ
ing japanese shell divers from Kushia
province, for the purpose. These
divers volunteered for this work and
are wonderfully expert. 1t is said that
with their diving paraphernalia they
can stay under water for half a day at
a time.
Hundreds Of Japanese fishermen are
volunteering to assist In clearing away
Russian mines and 1t is probable that
some OF them will be used for this
work. These voluntary offers are
taken to Illustrate the unity OF the
Japanese people in the war.

DEADLY DYNAMITE EXPLOSION AND
RIOTS IN CRIPPLE CREEK DISTRICT

exploded between fifty and n hundred
pounds of dynamite, judging from its
effect, which had been surreptitiously
placed beneath the platform in prep.
aration for the commission OF the
crime.
A number of buildings surrounding
the Independence station and which
were damaged more or less by the ex-
plosion had been occupied as homes
by union miners now on strike in the
district.
Warning had been given these. and
none within the reach Of the explosion
were at home when it occurred.
Fortunately the hoisting at the
Shurtloff mine near by had been de-
layed, and the forty or more miners
employed on that property had not
been released to take the train, as was
their custom.
But for this, and with a little more
careful planning of this plot by the as
sassins, 100 men might have met death
in the explosion.
That 1t was deliberate, cold-blooded
murder, and that It was perpetrated by
union miners is not denied, and is be-
lieved by practically every person in
the Cripple Creek district tonight. The
assassin had planned the work care
fully, deliberately, and there is no
doubt but that in doing 1t he had the
connivance. support and advice OF many
besides himself.
No arrests for the specific act have
been made, but as the outcome of the
violent demonstrations of thousands OF
citizens and non-union miners alike
fully $50 union miners were taken in
charge by deputy sherifis. deputy mar
shals, mllitiamen and private individ-
uals. by force of arms, in Victor, Inde-
pendence and Goldheld. and these at
1l:20 o'clock tonight were placed upon
special Florence G. Cripple Creek
train and headed for Cripple Creek, six
miles away.
The Trinidad bloodhound was tele-
graphed for, brought here and took up
the trail of the murderer at . o'clock.

Denver June THE Republican
correspondent at Victor gives the fol-
lowing account OF the terrible dyna-
mite explosion at the Independence
depot yesterday morning:
The most dastardly crime ever COM
mitted in the annals of the West cost
the lives of thirteen miners en-
ployed at the Findley mine, crippled
many others for life and has precipi-
tated a condition of riot in the Cripple
Greek district which has cost at least
one other life and before peace is
again restored may cost many more.
At 2:35 o'clock n. m, at the change
of shifts at the Findley mine, between
fifty and sixty of the miners working
on the property passed down the hill
o few hundred feet to the Independ-
ence depot of the Florence & Cripple
Creek railway. there to board the com
ing suburban train for their several
homes in Victor and Cripple Creek
They had completed their nights
work, the train had whistled for the
station and was slowing up for the
platform to take these men aboard.
Suddenly terrific explosion occur

tossed nearly one.half of the waiting
miners high into the air. mangled the
bodies OF ten of them almost beyond
Identification. killing Immediately
eleven, injuting two to such an extent
that they died soon after their arrival
at the hospital, and manning five for
life.
The scene following Is one beyond
description. The force of the explosion
put out lights in Altman, n mile and a
half away, broke windows in Goldfield
hnd Independence, wrecked a number
of homes near the depot and tore an
immense cavern in the ground where
the depot platform and building had
pnce stood.
The platform of the depot stood
high above the ground and was open.
There is no agent at the station at
night.
A small feed wire had been run
from the end of the depot to the crib
bing of the Delmonico shaft, 400 feet
away.
A jerk OF the wire had worked some
internal machine which In turn had

criminal charges, seated in the back
end of buggy, which was being driven
by woman and heading down toward
Colorado Springs at great speed.
Specific charge against any one man
or set Of men for committing the crime
has not been made. Detective Rob
Sterling, an employe of the Mine
Owners Association, says that he has
positive information who 1t was pulled
the wire.
News of the enormity of the crime
was telephoned to President A. &. Carl
ton of the Findley mine by his super
intendent, James S. Murphy, soon after
the explosion.
At $3.50 O'Clock a special train on the
Midland Terminal was made up in
Cripple Creek with all available physi-
clans, by Mr. Carlton, Mr.. Murphy and
Il. G. Newcombe, and hastened to the
scene of the disaster. There the view
OF the wreck which met them in the
early light was one which beggars de-
Iscription.
The body of one man had been blown
seventy-five yards away. two feet OF
others were found on the Delmonico
dump 400 feet away.
The hillside was covered with por-
tions of flesh and the nearby buildings
spotted with blood.
The injurea0Sere placed upon the
train and hastened to the hospital in
Victor A return tip was made for the
bodies of the dead, and everything pos
sible done toward gathering up the re-
mains.
There had been many miraculous es-
capes from the effects of the explosion.
Fully two-thirds OF the men waiting
on the platform were able after few
minutes to render assistance to the in
jured
Officers from Cripple Creek came
upon the scene soon after the removal
of the bodies. Under Sheriff ]. Knox
Burton reached the scene Of the crime,
and after tracing the wire by which 1t
had been committed to the point where
the perpetrator sat. he called two un-
ion miners from the crowd, deputiZed
