FROM TWENTY TO TWENTY-FIVE
WORKMEN WERE CAUGHT
BY FALLING EARTH.
RESCUE WORK is DIFFICULT
NEW BREAKS OCCUR AS FAST
AS THE DEBRIS is
REMOVED.

Montrose, Colo, June IA cave-in
occurred yesterday in the Gunnison
tunnel, one of the large irrigation
projects of the United States govern
ment, entOmbing a number OF Work
men variously estimated at from 20 to
25. It is not likely that any of the
men are dead unless they were. caught
and crushed to death by the falling
earth, for the air pump pipes running
into the tunnel have been working al
most without interruption since the
accident happened at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning. BY order of Resident
Engineer Mcconnell, all work on the
tunnel had been suspended and the
entire force of men and machinery
have been brought to the scene Of the
cave-in to aid in
Rescuing the Entomhed
men. No Roadway can be made in the
tunnel for the reason that new breaks
in the roof of the tunnel occur as fast
as the depris is removed. a SHAFT is
being sunk directly over the spot
where the men are buried and ma
chinery is in place to remove the dirt
and rock as fast as it can be dug or
blown out. The shaft must penetrate
sixtv-ive feet before the tunnel can be
reached. 1t is thought the tunnel Will
be reached this afternoon. The cave
in occurred beneath the bed of Cedar
creek and was primarily due to the
softened earth caused by seepage from

UNITED STATES is ON VERY
BOTH COUNTRIES.
ALL ARE ANXIOUS FOR PEACE
MEMBERS OF THE DIPLOMATIC
CORPS ALL AGREE THAT
WAR SHOULD END.

Washington. May 81. - President
Roosevelt is the only executive of a
frst-cla3s power in the world who
ties between Russia and Japan and
bring about the negotiations of a
treaty of peace between the warning
nations.
He could do this without giving Of
tense to either nation, as the United
States is on exceedingly friendly
terms with both nations, and it would
be patent to both that America had no
Interior motives; that it was not en-
deavoring to secure any advantage or
any character whatever; that its mo-
tives were purely humanitarian; and
any suggestion of peace which might
come from this government would be
for the purpose of bringing an end to
the terrible slaughter of lives and the
waste of treasure.
Diplomats Are for Peace.
Every foreign ambassador and min
lister at the national capital, leaving
out Of consideration Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador, and KOgOrO
Takahjra, the Japanese minister, is in
favor of peace, and believes that Pres
ident Roosevelt could with perfect pro-
priety, and without loss Of dignity to
the nation, take the initiative, by ad-
dressing an identical note to the Rus
sian and Japanese governments re-
questing them to adjust their differ
ences and calling on them in the name
of humanity to stop the slaughter or
their people by continuing the war.
Whether the president is contempla-
ting such move is secret known
only to himself and perhaps the Rus
sian ambassador and the Japanese
minister. They positively
Refuse to Discuss
the subject, but your representative
made an exhaustive canvass and had
conferences with the leading Europe
an diplomats and the United States
senators who are in the city. AS re-
suit of this canvass it was found that
there is an overwhelming sentiment
in favor of peace
Summed up, the conclusions drawn
from the conversations with European
diplomats and United States senators,
some of them members of the foreign
relations committee, are:
Peace is extremely desirable and
both nations should agree to some
plan which will bring about this hap
py conclusion of the costly war. Rus
STA is now hopelessly defeated so far
as armed conflict is concerned, but
owing to the wonderful resources OF
the nation, which have scarcely been
touched, Russia can carry on land
operations indefinitely, barring inter
nal troubles or the inability to raise
additional funds.
President Is Willing.
President Roosevelt is willing to
undertake to bring about peaceful
solution, but up to this time he has
determined to do so on but one condl-
ton, namely, that both Russia ana
Japan request him to use his good OF
fees.
This condition is an obstacle in the
way of peace, as Russia will not In the
face of an Overwhelming and stupety-
ing defeat call On Mr.. Roosevelt, and
the Japanese, who are willing to nego-
tiate peace, will not take the lnltla'
tive. as. in the words of the street, It
is up to Russia.

Of the Japanese two battleships had
