Tunnel Caves In at Big. Ir-
rigatiOn Project in
Colorado.

MONTROSE, Colo. May 30.-A cave-fn
occurred to-day IN the Gunnison tunnel,
one Of the large irrigation projects Of the
United States Government, entombing
number of workmen. variously estimated
at from twenty to twenty-five. II Is not
likely that any of the men are dead, un-
less they were caught and crushed to
death by the falling earth. for the air
pipes running into the tunnel have been
working almost without interruption since
the accident happened at 10 o'clock this
morning.
BY order Of Resident Engineer McCon-
nell all work on. the tunnel has been sus-
pended and the entire forces OF men and
machinery have been brought to the scene
of the cave-in to aid in rescuing the en-
tomhed men. No headway can be made
in the tunnel for the reason that new
breaks in the roof occur as fast
as the debris Is removed. A shaft
is being sunk directly over the spot where
the men are buried and machinery is in
place 70 remove the dirt and rock as
fast as it can be dug or blown out. The
shaft must penetrate sixty-five feet before
the tunnel can be reached and II Is not
thought the distance can be covered be-
fore tomorrow noon. The cave-in oc-
Cured beneath the bed OF Cedar Creek
and was primarily due to the softened
earth caused by seepage from the creek.

and are otherwise suffering from the ter
rible ordeal of the long battle. Local
branches Of the Red Cross and Govern
ment hospitals are sheltering and treat
ing them. 1t is believed that the fight
ing ended on Monday. A search of the
sea was in progress to-day.
Toxic was jubilant to-day. Hundreds of
callers and deputations throng the Navy
Department, offering thanks and con-
gratulations. The newspapers declare
that Admiral Togo has gained a place
beside Nelson.
The Emperor, Princes and Ministers
are dispatching congratulations to Ad-
miral Togo, who, it is expected, will be
given high rank and other imperial
honors. Already a popular idol. he has
become a demigod In the public estima-
ton
It is expected that Vice Admiral Kami-
mura, Rear Admiral Kataoka and other
commanders will be honored
Foreign observers sharply criticize Ad-
miral Rojestvensky and Rear Admiral
Nebogatoff, despite the meagerness of the
knowledge of the details and conditions
which governed them. Admiral Rojest-
vensky is criticized for not sending his
light cruisers and transports by the
northern straits, his failure TO arrange
cooperation with the Vladivostok squad
ron and his battle formation, which
placed all the strong ships on the star
board column and the weaker craft on
the port column. Rear Admiral Nebo-
gatoff's courage is questioned, he having
surrendered on Sunday apparently with
out a fight, although it is admitted that
his ships were evidently badly battered
on Saturday

japanese Rescue British Ship Captured
by ROjestvensky.

NAGASAKI, May 30.-The British
steamship Oldhamia, with a ker-
osene cargo for Hokkaido, which
was captured by the Russians on May
19, has been retaken by the Japanese
warships. The captain of the Oldhamia,
the engineer and two of the crew were
rescued. The steamship was retaken
on Saturday and brought to Sasebo to-
day.
TOKIO.-May 30.-It now appears
that the report of the sinking of an
American vessel by the fleet OF Ad-
miral Rojestvensky grew out of the
seizure Of the British steamship Old
hamia, bound for Japan, which was
later retaken by the Japanese war
ships.

of the fight between the Japanese and
Russian fleets he says that the japanese

KOBE. May 30.-To-day the survivors
Of the great fight were beginning to ar
rive along the japanese coast. clinging
to the wreckage or carried by the few
boats which escaped from the battle. A
disabled Russian cruiser carrying 200 Off
GERS and men approached Hamadi. which
is on the mainland of Japan and opposite
the scene of the battle. She flew white
flag, and as soon as she was sighted
Government boat was dispatched to es-
cort her ashore and offer the survivors
a ready welcome The officials of the
japanese Red Cross Society went out in
a launch and gave such aid as they could
to the wounded and carried them 10 tenn
porary quarters near Yamaguchi, which
is at the southwest of the Island of Nip
pom and the land nearest to where the
battle was fought.
The waters are alive with Russian sea-
men, who are desperately striving to
make the land in small boats, OF clinging
10 the mass of wreckage. Small mer-
chantmen and pleasure ships have gone
out TO pick up all the survivors they can
find. They have already rescued several
hundred men, many of whom are
wounded. All are in state of extreme
exhaustion.
The men are in desperate straits. The
oats IN WHICH iDey SOUGHT refuge WHeu
their ships went down were badly pro-
visioned and in most cases not ALL so
that the terrors of the heavy seas were
added to by pangs of hunger and thirst.
The survivors state they had absolutely
no chance of winning. The attack of the
Japanese was so sudden and complete
and the plan of attack so different from
what was expected that the entire fleet
became panic stricken. The long range
fire of the enemy was so deadly that there
was no chance of replying, because the
Japanese had chosen their own range,
which no Russian ship could equal.
Then came the torpedo-boat attack,
which completed the Generalization. They
say the crews took to the water in most
cases before the torpedoes had gone home
and those who remained on board their
vessels were precipitated into the sea by
the explosions that followed. Many saved
themselves by clinging to pieces Of
wreckage.
There are endless accounts of individual
heroism, but none more thrilling than
that of a young sailor who gave up his
place on piece of plank in order that he
might save the life of a lieutenant of the
Alexander 1. who had been a popular
officer with his crew and who was Ill at
the time of the attack The sailor was
afterward rescued by a passing boat, but
later died from exposure, as did so many

ST. PETERSBURG, May 30.-The
Kniaz Souvaroh, Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky's flagship, which went down
with her flag still flying and the rem
nant of her crew still working the
guns, was one of The rewast and best
ships in the Russian navy. She was
first-class battleship and was completed
only last year. She was built at st. Pc
tersburg, was of 1856 tons displace-
ment and had speed of IS knots. Her
armament consisted OF four 12-inch
guns. twelve 6-inch guns twenty 3-inch
guns and twenty 3-pounders, in addi-
tion TO six smaller rapid-fire guns. She
had six torpedo tubes and had a crew
numbering 740 officers and men.

TOXIC. May 90.-Admiral Togo has tel
egraphed 10 Admiral Yamamoto, Minister
Of the Navy. as follows:
The main force Of the Russians sec
ond and third fleets is nearly annihilated.
Please feel assured Of it
The DroVerb that Togo ALWAYS fights
and seldom reports is proving true in the
case Of his greatest battle. From the
briefest and most fEagmentary reports
coming TO Toxic it is impossible to gain
an approximate conception or picture Of
the desperate and decisive combat. The
Navy Department, after announcing the
bare result yesterday, has lapsed into
silence again. II meets incuirers with
the statement that the department is not
interested il the publication Of news, but
% is concerned only in gaining victory for
Japan.
It is probable that many details of the
fight VIII never be given TO the world.
Days and weeks may elaDse before the
main facts Of the battle and its strategy
are made known.
Admiral Togo appears to have planned
and laid a complete trap which fitted Ad-
nliral RoJestvensky's action and the Jap
auese outnaneuvered, outfought and out
shot the Russians, fearlessly taking their
lightest cruisers against the heavy Rus
sian ironclad battleshiDs and armored
cruisers and smothering them with gun
fire.
Tremendous interest attaches to the use
OF, submarine vessels. The Navy Depart
ment is silent on this point but It is con-
fidently believed that submarines were
effectively used for the first time in his
tory
Theoretically the sea was too rough
for the employment of submarines on
Saturday. but the japanese sailors well
come desperate chances. II is believed
that torpedo-boats and destroyers scored
heavily on Saturday night.
The conditions on Sunday were most
favorable The night was calm and

miles across the Tsu Straits

THE PROHIBITIONHTS WON.
There will be no Local Option
Election Ordered in YazOO.

Yazoo City. June %. The most
memorable local option contest in
The history Of Yazoo county, if
not in the entire State, was con-
uluded late yesterday afternoon,
resulting in a complete victory
for the Prohibitionists.
"A new registration was ordered
by the Board of Supervisors and
the same was begun on the 10th Of
last January. The antis employ
ed a man to make the rounds of
the county with the registrar and
obtain signatures To petition
asking for an election under The
local option law, with the result
that they secured the names of
more than half Of those who had
registered.
This was the condition that con-
fronted the Prohibitionists when
the antis filed their petition May
1st. The registered vote at that
time was 1888, the number who
had signed the whisky petition
was 804. It looked as though the
task of getting enough to with
draw their names from the petit
tion, to defeat same, was Hercu-
lean, but the Prohibitionists, moth
ing daunted, organized and elect
ed Hon. w. A. Henry chairman,
and engaged in an active canvass
to defeat the calling of an election.
Prominent men enlisted for the
battle, among the number Captain
Fl. L. Taylor, of Bentonia; Hon.
iW. w. Coody, DR.. f. Caruthers,
members Of tile legislature, w. F.
lStubblefeld, sheriff, and scores OF
linen less prominent in the public
eye, but the most efficient work

led a postponement of thirty days
| in order to make assurance doubiy

their attorneys that they had no
authority, under the law, to grant
this request. The Prohibitionists
then asked for two weeks delay,
which was given. In the interval
the securing of Withdrawals from
the whisky petition went merrily
ION. The Board reassembled June
I19, and entered upon the consid-
oration of the petition.
The antis were represented by
b. e. Brown and j. s. Everett.
The prohibs by Barnett & Perrin
and Henry & Barbour. The bat
tile before the Board was a royal
lone and continued for eight days.
AT its conclusion it was found that
Iof the 804 names all had dropped
out except 287, and the antis
we're hopelessly defeated.
The result Of this contest has
been watched with interest
throughout The State, for If the
Prohibitionists had lost, Ehe whis-
Ky men ID other counties would
have become more active.
