JapS Lose DESTROYER.

Toxic, May 1.-THE Japanese dis
patch boat Miyako was destroyed in
Kerr bay by striking a submerged mine.
The Miyako was lost while assisting
in the operations of clearing the Rus.
sian mines from Kerr Bay northeast of
Tallnwan bay, on which Port Dalny is
situated. Admiral Kataoka, COM
manding the third squadron, returned
there Sunday with detachment of his
squadron, protecting two tlotillas of
torpedo boats which had been detailed
to complete sweeping the harbor by the
removal of mines. Five mines were
discovered and exploded and the work
was being suspended for the day when
the Miyako struck an undiscovered
mine, which exploded with tremendous
force under her stern, ON the port side,
and inflicted immense damage to the
hull.
The Miyako sunk in 90 minutes. Two
sailors were killed and 25 men were
wounded. The rest Of the crew res
cued. The news of the loss of the Mi.
yako has been sorrowfully received
here. The dangerous character of the
work in which the ship was engaged is
generally appreciated, but it was
thought the loss Of torpedo boat, No.
4S, under similar conditions would
serve as warning to those engaged in
the work to exercise the greatest care.
Admiral Katakao reports that the
Russians withdrew from Robinson
point, north of Kerr bay, which ad-
joins Talienwan, May 12, but they
erected a temporary fort ON height
northeast of Taku mountain, where
they mounted six guns and ocnstructed
protecting trenchments. The vessels
of Admiral Katak 40 3 squadron shelled
the Russians throughout Sunday, but
the latter stubbornly retained their
position. The Japanese flotillas while
sweeping the bay were exposed to the
Russian fire all day, but continued the
work uninjured.
When the Japanese torpedo boat, No.
4S. was destroyed May l2, in Kerr bay
while removing Russian mines, seven
men were killed and seven wounded.
The No. 48 was the first war ship lost
by Japan during the war. The Miyako
was one of the warships that took part
in the operations at Kerr bay, Talien.
wan bay and Blackney bay the day No.
48 was destroyed. The Miyako was a
steel cruiser of 1900 tons displacement
and 6l31 indicated horsepower, com.
pleted in 1901 and having an estimat ted
speed Of 20 knots. She was 81 "a feet

Into the Water-Men Gave Up Their
Lives to Save the Girls.

Reno. New, May 16.-By the break
Ing OF one Of the spans OF the suspen-
sion tramway across the Truckee river

this city, at 2 o'clock today, four young
people. Maurice Jacobs. a young bust.

MILAN. a daughter of a prominent
Reno business man; Mrs. E. S. Eide,
Jr, and Mr.. Kingsley Of Chicago, were
precipitated from the car into the swol
len stream and drowned.
The accident was witnessed by Fred
Coleman of San Francisco, who was
unable to render any assistance. The
tramway consists of two steel cables
stretched across the river. upon which
a car runs. which Is much used by
pleasure seekers. Sunday the four
young people entered the car to cross
the river. When they reached mid
stream one OF the strands parted. One
piercing shrek was heard and the four
were observed in the rapids. The men
were both athletes, and gave up their
lives in a heroic effort to save their
companions. Mr.. Jacobs was seen for
few moments swimming with Miss
Mcmillan. holding her above water.
and was then seen to turn on his back.

him and bore the strong swimmer be-
meath the current. There was no time
that the two young men could not ap-
parently have saved themselves :
though at the place where the accident
occurred there are swift rapids, the wa,
ter seething and boiling over great
rocks.
Hundreds Of people are searching
for the bodies Of the victims of the
accident. but up to late hour only one
has been discovered. Under the d.
rection Of Chief OF Police Leepper
electric lights have been strung across
the river at intervals for several miles
and nets have been placed. The search
ing party Is exploding dynamite over
the stream. but thus far efforts have
been unavailing. Owing to the promi-
nence OF the victims of the tragedy
the entire city is in mourning, and the
river banks are lined with thrOngs of
people.
