BLOWN HIGH IN AIR.
Explosion In Tunnel Under River
Sends Man Through Roof.
WAS RESCUED WITHOUT INJURY.
Strange Experience Which Reads
Like Ronance--CompaniOns Were
Also saved-FreiRhtened Per-
sons on shore.

New York, March 2S.-Blown
through a break in q tunnel under the
East river by an explosion, carried to
the surface of the water and shot ~
feet into the air, Richard Creedon, a
laborer, was rescued only slightly hurt.
His escape from death seemed almost
miraculous. Three Of his companions
were rescued in the tunnel and carried
out, all painfully but not seriously
injured.
The men we're at work in the for
ward compartment Of the railroad tun-
mel under the East river between
Brooklyn and the Battery, which is to
be used eventually to connect the Man
haitian lines with Brooklyn subway
lines. Two tubes side by side are In
process of construction.
The Brooklyn end Of one OF the
tubes has been extended ID feet beyond
the pier line at the foot Of Joralemon
street, Twenty-Five men were at work
in the tunnel Monday when the acci-
dent happened. Creedon and his three
companions were in the forward COM
partment working under high pres
sure of air. In compartment back oil
them IS other men were at WORK
This second compartment was not al
fected by the accident, as there is q
bulkhead between them. Creedon was
the first to ascertain that the roof Of
the tunnel was leaking and that the all
was rushing out into the bottom OF the
East river, which was 40 feet deer
above them. With sandbags he at
tempted to plug up the leak but as he
did so the whole roof was blown Out
and the tremendous force of the com
messed air drove Creedon out through
the hole.
The upward rush of air carried him
to the surface in a twinkling and ht
shot into the air with great force. BY
ISLANDERS quickly fished him out OF the
water. He was considerably bruised
and shaken up but was not dangerous
ly hurt. By-standers who saw the mar
shoot to the surface say that he wa
shot 20 feet into the air from the leve
of the water and that his startling
appearance so frightened several ltal
ian laborers on the nearby pier tina
they took to fight. His companions
were dragged back through the TUNE
by workmen from the next compart
ment.

KurOpatkIn While War MiniateF in
1908 Was DO6btfuI of RussIs's'
Ability to Cope with Japan.

St. Petersburg, March 27.-Pr1nce'
Uktomsky's new paper, Dawn has
unearthed a remarkable report made
by General Kuropatkin to Nicho-
las in the fall of 1908, in which
the then war minister expressed the
opinion that the Yalu concession was
sure to induce war in the far east and
took an optimistic view of Russia's
ability to cope with Japan on land and
sea, but expressed forebodings that the
triple alliance might take advantage
Of the struggle to threaten Russia on
the west while Great Britain brought
matters to climax with the Afshans
The whole tenor Of the memorandum
indicates that danger on the Euro
pean frontier doomed large in the war
minister's calculations and creates
the presumption that he was ehRry
about dispatehing. heavy reinforce
ments to the front until Emperor WI
liRm's assurances, given at the -bil-

threat as TO the western frontier.

Washington, March 2S.-Mr. Daw-
sons cablegram seemed to indicate to
the mind Of the ofiicials here that the
proposed arrangement for the collec-
ton Of customs revenues by foreign
fiscal angent would apply only to the
ports Of Dominica not covered by the
arbltral award in the case Of the San
Domingo improvement company,
namely Puerto Plata, Mont Cristj,
Sanchez and SANTANA. It was said at
the close Of the day that the point
now at issue was whether or not the
president may legally designate fiscal
agent to collect these islands reven-

expected within a day or two.

VLADIVOSTOK NEXT.
Impression Prevails That Japanese
viii Turn Attention There.
CONTENT TO HOLD TIE PASS LINE.


st. Petersburg, March 2S.-The i'm
preston prevalent in some military
circles that the japanese, having re-
moved the possibility Of the main army
in Manchuria assuming the initiative,
will now turn their attention to the
next objective Of the war, Vladivos-
tok, Is strengthened by the Associa-
ted press dispatch from Cunshu pass
announcing the withdrawal Of the jap
anese from the immediate front Of the
Russian army for distance Of 80 miles
south. It Is realized, Of course, that
this may be merely a blind to cover
flanking operations, but 1t is not Inn
probable that the Japanese, having
cleared southern Manchuria Of Russian
troops and secured position from
whence expulsion would be long and
dificult process, may be satisfied to
hold the Tie pass line without further
extension OF communication.
While the voice Of the emperor's ad-
visers is for peace II honorable terms
are obtainable, the government as Is
the part Of wisdom, is going forward
with all provisions for the continuance
Of the war. Preparations are reported
10 be making for the mobilization Of
five corps It has been understood
that the guards would be retained at
