America Will Warn.

The State Department is preparing
to make representations TO ST. Peters
burg regarding the carelessness of the
Russian Authorities in Manchuria in
allowing mines to float on the high
seas, to the great danger OF all peace
full shipping.
The question OF how far Russia had
violated the rules OF international law
i'll sending floating mines to sea with
out proper guardianship was recently
considered by the General Board OF
the Navy, of which Admiral George
Dewey is president, at the request
OF the State Department. At the
same departments request Secreary
of the Navy Moody has instructed
the United States naval attaches in
Toxic and St. Petersburg to ascer-
tain definitely whether the mines
which have been reported atioat in the
Gull of Pechili belong to Russia or
to Japan. The Inference is that they
are Russian, and when it is definitely
learned that such is the case repre-
sentations will be made by the State
Department 10 the St Petersburg gov
ernment through Ambassador McCor-
mick.
1t had been the intention OF the au-
thorities 20 wait until some accident
happened to neutral ship through one
OF these mines but upon further con-
sderation it has been decided best to
take action before any serious catas-
trophe occurs. In the meanwhile lie it is
understood that Great Britain is pre-
pared to take similar steps, and there
is also a possibility that Japan Will
make representations TO the neutral
nations in regard to the case.

London, (By Cable. - The Shan
khai kwan correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle sends a report received
from Niuehwang that on May 20,
thinking that the Japanese had retired
from Feng Wang Cheng, $4,000 Rus
slams from Haicheng and Liaoyang
marched toward Feng Wang Cheng.
They were surprised by 10000 Jap

The Toxic correspondent OF the

The Niuchwang correspondent OF

LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
Objects TO a Minister,

To the regret OF the officials here
the Colombian government maintains
its attitude of coldness toward the
United States, and in spite OF the un-
official efforts OF United States rep
resentatives to restore the diplomatic
relations to the old cordial basis. the
Bogota government insists OIL holding
aloof.
1t was supposed that when Mr. w.
w. Russell, native of Rockville.
Md, and charge at Panama, was ap-
pointed Minister to succeed Mr.. Ar
thur Nj, Beaupre at Bogota the past
would be forgotten and with new rep
resentation for the United States in
Colombia DR.. Thomas Herran would
return to W" N".hington and there would
be full restoration of the diplomats
relations. Now. however, the State
Department has learned that an init
nation had been conveyed to Mr.. Sny-
der, United States charge at Bogota.
that the Colombian government would
rather not receive MIR. Russell as min
isteT. Ii is distinctly stated that there
is nothing personal to Mr.. Russell in
this attitude by the Colombians, for
any minister would be Objectionable
at this moment. but it is simply an il
lustration OF the resentment felt by
Colombia toward the United States.
1t is said at the State Department that
Mr. Russell will avail himself OF a
leave of absence already granted to
him to return to his home in Wash
ington, and at the expiration OF the
legal time, if the Colombians are in
the same state OF mind, another, and
perhaps better, diplomatic post will
be found for Mr.. Russell

Mysterious Explosion Of Boilers on
TOwbOat.
FOURTEEN ARE DEAD. TWO INJURED.
Captain and His Guest Among Victims Of the
Disaster-The Force Of the Explosion Was
Terrific. and lis Cause Is Unknown-The
Chief Engineer Says Everything Was Appar
emily All Right.

Louisville, KY, (SpeciaD Thirteen
persons were killed three fatally in
jured and five hurt by an explosion OF
boilers which totally demolished the
owboat Fred. Wilson off Riverview

The Wilson was the property OF
the Monongahela Coal and Coke Com
pany, and left Pittsburg with barges,
II coal boats and 4 flats, bound for
Louisville She arrived here about
midnight had proceeded down the
river and was about to tie up when the
explosion occurred. The cause of the
accident is not known. The boat
had just put about to back a tow into
landing place when the explosion
occurred. Henry Sykes, first mate,
could give no explanation OF the cause
OF the accident. He and Chief En-
ginneer Walker were the only men
on the boat who escaped injury.
Neither man could give the names of
the deckhands, nor did they know
the name OF the passenger who was
making the trip with Captain Price,
save that he came aboard at Pittsburg
and that they had gained the impress
sion that he was in the insurance bus
mess. He is described as man past
middle age.
Herman Shively, second engineer,
was blown through the side OF the
Wilson and landed IS feet away on
top OF shanty-boat.
Father Cunningham was one OF the
first to arrive at the scene of the eX-
plosion and gave extreme JUNCTION to
several men who were dying. The
police and hospital ambulance and the
automobiles OF the morning news
papers carried corps of physicians
and nurses to the scene, which is four
miles from the heart OF the city. The
injured were taken to the residence OF
Col John H. Whalen until they could
be better provided for at the city hos
pitals.
Mr.. Whallen's house, which is about
$50 yards from the river, was badly
damaged by the explosion, but none
OF the family was injured. The front
doors were splintered. the chande-
Tiers in the drawngroom were shat
tired and nearly every window in the
house was broken. Colonel Whal-
len sent the first word to the city and
used his private yacht in rescuing
those blown from the boat.
The Wilson was built IS years ago
and was reconstructed in part last
year. She was valued at $4,000. Her
length was ia feet. She was literally
blown to pieces, and her null sank
in I8 feet OF water Two heavy
pieces OF her boiler were found al
most 500 yards from the bank, and her
flag floats from the top of tree,
where it was blown with a piece OF
wreckagc. Thirteen OF the crew who
were saved are more or less injured.

ten men KILLED BY GAS
Fifty Men We're Riding Through Tunnel
When They We're Overcome.
ALL WERE RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS.
Mysterious Fatality In Tunnel Of the Summit
Branch Coal Company According TO Gus.
tom the Men We're Behind One Of the
Little Mine Locomotives When Discovery
Was Made.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. (SpeciaD. - A
telegram received at the Susquehanna
Coal Company's Offices in this city
states that ten miners were sutfocated
by gas and sulphur fumes from a
small locomotive in the workings of
The Summit Branch Coal Company at
Williamstown. Dauphin county.
The accident was one of the mCct
peculiar in the history of the anthra-
cite mines, and no reason for it can
be assigned by the officials.
The victims include Michael Col
den, general inside foreman of the
company, and nine miners and
laborers.
The tunnel in which the disaster
occurred is one mile in length and is
used by the coal company to convey
the coal mined in the workings of
the Bear valley to the breaker in the
Williams valley. The men employed
in the mines in the Bear valley who
reside in Williamstown have made a
practice for years to ride to and
from their work on the trips OF cars
that are hauled between the two val
leys by small locomotives.
About o'clock in the afternoon
General Inside Foreman Golden and
about fifty miners boarded a loaded
trip which was about to be hauled
from Bear valley to Willamstown.
Everything went all right until
about hall of the journey 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 hoated
back over them.
The engineer at once crowded on
all the steam possible. and the un-
conscious men were hurried to the
Williamstown end of the tunnel. Here
help was at once summoned and the
men were taken to the surface. where
a corps of physicians made every pos
sible effort to resusctate them, but
aid came 100 late for Foreman Col
den and the other victims.
The tunnel has been in constant
operation for more than forty years,
and this is the first accident of any
kind that has happened in it. 1t is
perfectly free from mine gases and the
ventilation is so perfect and the air
current so strong and steady that
besides being used for hauling cars,
the tunnel has formed one of the in
takes that furnish air to the mines.
No trouble has ever been ex-
perienced before from gas from the
small mine locomotives, and the Off
cials are entirely at sea as to the cause
OF the tragedy.
