A Washington special says: With
out waiting from any suggestion from
St Petersburg though that has since
come, and more three days ago, the
navy department cables to Captain
Marshall, OF the United States steamer
Vicksburg at Chemulpo, requesting an
explanation OF the facts connected
with the reported refusal on his part
10 take aboard his ship sailors from
the Russian war ship sunk by the Jap
Anese.
No answer has yet been received, so
that the United States government is
not IN a position to make the expla.
nation which St. Petersburg seems
to wish. From their knowledge OF the
United States naval regulations and
from the comprehensive press reports
as TO what did occur at Chemulpo, the
naval offlclals In Washington have not
the slightest hesitation In giving their
unqualified approval Of the course pur-
sued by Captain Marshall.
In the first place 1t is understood
that II was not matter OF saving
life. II Is doubtful whether, II the

ship could aid them before they had
surrendered, without violating inter
national law. II is believed that
these men who were In boats could
have landed and only refrained from
doing SO because they feared to be
captured by the Japanese soldiers in
town.
Had Captain Marshall received them
aboard the Vicksburg, he must have
taken them In as prisoners, for that
was the status accorded them by the
French and British naval officers pres

Captain Marshal did not Join with the
other foreign captains In protesting
against the japanese attack on the

Village r1aY Disappear.

MAHANOY CITY, Dec. 20.-The
lower part of the village of Jacksons,
near here, was standing on uncertain
ground and an hour may arrive when
it will disappear into the earth.
Huge assures have opened in the
surafce, involving the homes of Francis
Benedict. Jacob Lambert, Joseph Weir
and Frank Collins to such an extent
that they are left uninhsbitable. The
summer kitchen attached to Benedict g
house has been entirely engulfed.
Settling of the surface commenced
shortly after midnight, while the oc-
oupants OF the house were slumbering
peacefully. Heavy rumbling accom-
panied the subsistence which rocked
and tilted buildings in the disturbed
area until they threatened to topple
into the street. The inmates, in scant
attire, fed panic stricken.
The village is owned almost entire
ly by the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company, whose mines
honeycomb the site upon which the
hamlet is built.
