Famous Mine Case DeCided.

Colorado Springs, Col, April 49,
Application for writ of centiorari in
the Sc, 900, 900 suit of the Stratton In
dependence corporation of London
against the estate of w. S. Stratton
has been denied by the United States
supreme court, according to advices
received here.
The suit was based on the charge
that Stratton sailed the Independence
and mine then sold it to the Stratton
corporation for $l1 0OO, 900, or Sc 900,
600 more than it was worth.
The circuit court of appeals recently
decided against the corporation at ST.
Louis, and the application for centio-
rarl resulted.
The Venture corporation has a $2,-
900, 900 suit pending in the circuit
court and the grounds are identical.
The decision of the INDEPENDENCE is
regarded as clearing the way for build
ing the Myron Stratton home for the
poor here.

GREAT NAVAL BATTLE EXPECTED
Russian Baltic Fleet Is Now Near the
Japanese.


Admiral Rojestvensky, with the first
Baltic squadron, has crossed the In
dian ocean, traversed the straits of
Malacca, passed Singapore and the
southern extremity of the Malay pen
insula and entered the China sea. He
has at last reached waters over which
the Japanese war vessels have been
cruising for several months. In fact
he has arrived at that point on his
course where it has been generally
believed Admiral Togo would be lying
in wait for him Consequently, the
world is prepared to hear of naval
engagement of the first order on the
high seas.
Rojestvenslyy has with him between
Guiding GOLFERS. transports and hos
pital vessels The second Baltic squad
ron is far behind and can be of no
assistance if a battle is as imminent
as most people think. Togo's strength
is unknown. The Japanese have main
tanned their customary secrecy in re-
gard to the movements of their fleets
and the probable plan of naval cam
paign. 1t is safe to conclude, how
veer, that good part of the Japanese
navy lies in Rojestvensky's track, for
it is not needed elsewhere, and the
Japanese naval officers probably under
stand that they need great strength if
they are to administer a blow that
will keep the Pacific clear of Russian
vessels till peace is declared.
With such strict secrecy maintain
ed, it is, of course impossible to tell
where the Japanese will strike. 1t was
thought at one time that Togo would
attempt to intercept the enemy in the
straits of Malacca, but it is evident
that he has other plans. Tt was given
out not long ago that he would lure
the Russians up the Chinese coast and
attack them nearer home. Whatever
the plan, the Japanese are probably
aware of Rojestvensky's approach, for
scouts have been steaming over the
East Indian waters for weeks, and the
entire Japanese fleet is prepared to
act according to a program that was
perfected long ago. However much
it may be departed from, it is evident
that a great sea fight can not be far
off.

Chinese HELP JAPS
FIVE HUNDRED NATIVE HORSE
men FIRED ON RUSSIANS.
Russian Army Lingers in the Vicinity of
Gunshu Pass-A Fierce Gale Has
Dried Up the Mud-Fifth Rifle Regi-
ment Escaped Through Jap Lines
and Has Arrived at kirin.

Gunshu Pass, April 13.-The thaw
has b. en- followed by a fierce gale.
which has dried out the mire and is
now raising a heavy dust. 1t is a prov
idential change, as otherwise the troops
tenting in the mud probably would
soon be subject to sickness even in epi-
demic form.
1t is steadily becoming more evident
that first calculations as to Russian
losses in the battle of Mukden were ex
aggerated.
A portion of the Fifth Rifle regiment
which was cut off at Mukden has lust
arrived at kirin, having succeeded in
penetrating the Japanees lines.
Chinese state with great positiveness
that General Kawamura' s army, sup
ported General Nogi's army, is moving
in northeasterly direction, aiming to
cut Russian communications with
Vladivostok.
According to some advices 30 900
japanese landed at Dalny March %.
and ii Is reported that six additional
divisions are forming in Japan to oper-
ate against Vladivostok and Sakhaliu.
The Manchurian Chinese have adopt
ed an attitude of positive hostility to
the Russians. A body of 500 native
horsemen fired on Russian troops at the
village of Ghendi, and Manchurian
militia is said to be taking the field on
the side of the japanese on the Hun
river. The leader, Fulingo, has been
appointed commander of the militia at
Kaiyuan, but force of the Chinese
regulars is stationed along the border
of Mongolia, with the object of pre-
serving neutrality.
The Japanese now occupy the lineIo
Sylzyatji, Changtufu and Katpangomu
and the impression prevails here that
the direct advance from the south has
halted for the present at that line.
There were q number of skirmishes
last week between a number of Russian
| and Japanese scouting parties, but no
actions of serious consequence.
The japanese are building depots at
Sinmintu and Fakoman and are said to
be surveying a road from Fakoman
southwark and bridging the Lao river
to Kuapinsan and Szinzyaun, where
their commissaria is also locaed. The
counry in which the present operations
are being conducted lies on both sides
of the railroad towards the Mandariian
road, and is wide plateau, running
north and south, and in many places
the ground is half swampy.
There are a few large villages or
hamlets which have replaced scattered
farmsteads. The villages consist of
large buildings, surrounded by high
walls and sometimes by bitches, MAX
ing excellent points of defense. The
region is rich, and the troops found
large stores of forage and wood.

PRESIDENT CAPTURES LIVE WOLF
second Days Hunt Full of Features
Deaf and Dumb indian Helps.


Oklahoma City, Okla, April 13.-
President Roosevelt featured the second
day of his hunt in the big Pasture"
by capturing alive a full grown and
combative coyote without scratch.
Hhe prairie wolf was overtaken and
"downed" by the dogs, and while the
animal was fighting its attackers the
president slipped from his horse and
caught the wolf by its jaws, rendering
it helpless. This feat, which is ac-
complished by but few plainsmen and
cowboys, brought forth round of ap-
plause from those who witnessed it.
The guide, John Abernethy, who is
noted as the champion wolf catcher of
the southwest, captured the first wolf
on Monday in this manner, and at that
time the president announced his in
tention of imitationg the feat. Seven
other wolves were caught during the
day, all being taken by the usual meth
cd of allowing the dogs to finish the
animals.
Another incident of the day was the
capture of live rattlesnake by deaf
and dumb indian.

The structure which collapsed was a
huge quadrilateral, $50 by $50 meters,
built on arches. The disaster was due
to the weakness of the supporting pill
lars AS the greater part of the de-
bris is under water the work of ex-
Treating the victims is most difficult.
Up to this time $50 bodies have been
recovered. These were taken imme-
diately to the morgue to prevent dis
turbances. Seventy injured persons
have been rescued but it is feared the
remainder of those working in the vi
entity at the time of the accident per-
ished in the crushed masonry or by

Black Flags Fly.

Professions of women carrying black
flags are parading the district in which
the disaster occurred. A great crowd
marched to the center of the city and
forced the merchants to close their
stores as a sign of mourning.
The markets are all shut and bust
ness is entirely suspended. The work
of recovering the dead and injured is
hampered by enormous crowds of an
CRY women.
The estimates of the number of per
sons injured are increasing. Nearly
all the injuries are of a serious nature.
The ambulance stations are already
overcrowded, but assistance continues
to arrive from every direction.
King Alfonso was shooting at Cura-
banchel when he heard of the disas-
ter and Immediately repaired to the
scene. His arrival was the signal for
ovations from the crowds. The king
was deeply moved and insisted upon
personally supervising the relief meas.
ures.
Working parties are gradually re.
moving the debris and continue to re.
cover mutilated bodies, fragments of
flesh and limbs. A workman who was
injured says the collapse was so sud
den and complete that it was impos-
sible to tell what had happened. The
men at work on the reservoir, how
ever, anticipated trouble, as a fort
night ago three arches collapsed and
cracks developed in four others.
The public hold the engineers and
contractors responsible for the catas.
trophe, into which the cabinet has OF,
dered a strict inquiry.
