RoJESTVENSkY WILL WAIT.
Evident That He viii Not Proceed
Until Reinforced.

Toxic, April 28.-The movements
of the squadron commanded by Ad-
miral Rojestvensky and the inten-
tions of the Russian commander con-
tinue to be the subject OF general in
terest and speculation.
The last Japanese reports are con-
flicting and confusing. They do not
indicate definitely the purposes OF
ROjestvensky, but it is evidently the
intention of the Russian admiral to
await a junction with the division
commanded by Admiral Nebogatoff,
which increases the probability of his
Intention Of giving Admiral Togo a
decisive battle.
1t is assumed that ROjestvensky
will bring all the ships and guns pos
sible into action if he intends to fight
decisively, or that he will detach ana
abandon his slow, cumbersome and
useless ships if he intends to run
the gauntlet TO VladivOstok. 1t is
believed that the location and date
of the engagement will depend en-
tirely on Roiestvens!Iy.
The Japanese defensive plans are
concealed with absolute secrecy.
The proclamation. issued are viewed
calmly by the officials and public.
The people appreciate the Importance
of retaining the sea power of Japan
and the great consequences which
hinge on victory or defeat, but they
are confident of success owing to
the superiority in numbers and
strength of the armored crui:ers of
Japan, which, it is believed, will
counterbalance the Russian superb
ority in battleships.
The prospective junction of the
Fifth division with the other divisions
of the Russian squadron and the dis
advantage at which Japan is placed
owing to the shortage of battleships
apparently cause no apprehension
here.
The Japanese rely on their superior
ity in mobility, personnel and morale
and ON the condition of their war
ships to bring them victory. Extend
ing the comparison beyond the first
line Of battle it is urged that Jaran
possesses a preponderating and valu-
able advantage in lighter cruiser,
torpedo boat destroyers, torpedo
boats and submarine boats. The
proclamation of martial law in the
Island of Formosa, which is strongly
and extensively defended, is the only
public announcement Of the defensive
steps taken by Japan. The public
does not know the location of Togo's
squadron, the officers and men hav-
ing ceased communicating with their
families and friends.

vckes Aid of Government.
Chicago, April 29.-For the first
time since the strike of the American
Railway union in 1894 the govern
ment of the United States has been
made party to the labor troubles
in this city. The government was
brought into the teamsters' strike to-
day by the issuance of an Injunction
by Judge c. c. Kohlsaat of the Uni
ted States circuit court. The writ
was asked in behalf of the Employers
Teaming company on the grounds
that the organization Is incorporated
under the laws of West Virginia and
is therefore under the protection of
the federal court. The order COM
mands that all defendants refrain
from any interference with the bust
ness Of the Employers leaning
company and commands the strikers
to refrain from picketing, massing
on the streets, with intent to inter.
fere with the wagons of the complain.
ant and from interfering in any man.

ploy.
AS soon as issued copies of the in.
junction were printed on large cards
and two Of these were attached to
every wagon of the Employers Team
ing company, which went upon the
streets today. The injunction eX-
erted q pacifying influence and there
was less rioting in the streets than
yesterday. A heavy thunderstorm
which continued during the latter
part of the afternoon and through
the evening, also lent material assist
ance in keeping the streets clear. :

Laredo, Tex, April 30.-Sixteen
people were killed and scores injur.
ed in Laredo by tornado, which tore
through the city late Friday night
Rumors of other killed in places out
side of Laredo are heard. but as yet
lack confirmation. The property
damaged is large. Four members Of
one family were all crushed to death
by the falling in of henvy walls OF
the adobe house which they occupied
Others killed met their fate in a
Ike manner.
The damage wrought~at the Laredo
seminary is severe. Not one Of the
group of magnificent buildings which
go to make up that institution es-
capped damage. The barracks, the
primary building, Emery hall and the
chapel were damaged from so to rs
per cent. The escape from death OF
the teachers at present quartered in
the institution is considered miracu-
lous. as the walls of some of the build
ings which they occupied were com
pletely demolished. Mrs. Easley, one
of the teachers, was heroically res
cued by several young cadets, stu
dents of the institution, they lower
ing her by rope from second story
window. She was badly bruised
The Mexican National hospital
building had the roof lifted from the

A trip through the town fails to

more or less from the storm. Trees.
fences, telegraph and telephone poles,
corrugated roofs, chimneys and walls
and debris of all imaginable kinds
strew the streets.
Conditions in New Laredo, across
the Rio Grande, are similar to those
existing on this side. 1t is not Off

DEATH SUMMONS

Train.
FALLS VICTIM TO APOPLEXY
Not One of His Family is at His Side
at the End-Was a Gallant Confed-

War-Has Served Country Well.

Washington, d. c., April 29.--Gen.
eral Wtzhugh Lee, u. s. A., retired,
and one of Virginia's foremost sons,
died at the Providence hospital here
last night from an attack of apoplexy
which ne suffered early this morning
on train from Boston to Washing
ton. After General Lee had been re-
moved to the hospital this morning
it was evident TO the attending ply
sicians that his case was very SER
ious one, but they believed that his
strong vitality and will power would
assist materially in partial recovery
at least from the attack. His cCldi-
ton remained fair considering the
severity of the attack during the day
but shortly after 8 o'clock he began
to grow weaker, his breathing be-
came more rapid and his pulse lower,
terminating in less than two hours
in death. The end was peaceful and
without pain, the general remaining
consciorS until within five minutes
of the end. Half an hour before
death General Lee recognized his
brother, Daniel Lee, who came into
the room for moment.
In the room when he died were DR..
Montgomery, one of the physicians
at the hospital, Miss Dorsey, a rela-
tive, and a nurse, two of the attend
ing physicians, Drs. Edie and Kean,
having retired temporarily. A pa
thetic feature of the case is that al
though General Lee was blessed with
family consisting of a wife and
five children, not one of them was
with him at the time of his death.
The general was IS years old.

FOUR KILLED; MANY WOUNDED
Troops and Strikers Clash in Czesto-
Chowa, Poland.

Warsaw, April 30.-Troops and
strikers clashed yesterday at Czesto-

the frontier of Silesia. Four strikers

force of Cossacks and infantry was
assembled and the strikers were or
dered not to advance. The latter re-
fused to obey, placed women in front
of their line and came on. The Coss-

The situation here is considered

SUES BANK DIRECTORS.
Bruce Butler of Des Moines Institutes
Suit for $4,000.

Corning, April 29.-Suit has been
brought against the directors of the
defunct Corning State Savings bank
for $4,000, on the ground that they
were criminally negligent in perform
ing their duties, and it is alleged in
the petition that had these directors
not been remiss in the discharge of
their duties the depositors would not
have lost. The suit is brought in
the name of Bruce Butler of Des
Moines, as plaintiff. Some of the d.
rectors of the defunct bank are
nearly ruined financially because of
the assessments they had to meet on
the stock they had in the bank, and
if this suit should be adverse to the
directors it means that only two or
three would have to meet the loss.
The suit is occasioning no little COM
ment in this place, as matter Of
course.

tails of the construction of the YES

addition to those which will be built
in the United States it is quite likely
that a yard will be constructed at
Baltic seaport to be manned by Rus
sian workmen, but under American

CHARLES THOMAS SENTENCED
Judge MVey overruIes Motion For a
New Trial.

Des Moines, May 1.-Charles Thorn
as began serving his sentence in the
penitentiary at Fort Madison yester-
day.
Judge McVey on Saturday overrul-
ed the motion of the defense for
new trial and concluded by senten-
cling Thomas to the penitentiary at
Fort Madison for life.
AS it became evident to Thomas
and his attorneys that the motion
would not be sustained they smiled
quietly, but made no other express
ion. The wife of the defendant was
the more deeply affected by the read
ing OF the opinion. She sat with bow
ed head through the entire time and
frequently wept as the meaning OF
the decision came upon her.
Thomas himself was not affected.
He watched the court closely aud
listened intently to every word of the
long opinion which removed one of
his chances for liberty. Judge Nc
Vey then sentenced Thomas to life
Imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The attorneys announced that the
case will be appealed.

APPEALS TO ROOSEVELT.
Chicago Federation of Labor Asks
President to Intervene

Chicago, May 1.-Anticipating that
yesterdays peace conferences in
Mayor Dunne's Office would be fg-
tile, the Chicago Federation of Labor
without waiting for announcement of
the result of the negotiations, APP
pealed to President Roosevelt and
Governor Deneen for assistance in
the teamsters' strike.
Fearing that troops may be sent
to Chicago to preserve order during
the strike, the labor organization
asked both the president and the gov
ernor to investigate the situation in
Chicago before taking any such act
ion. A determined effort on the
part of Mayor Dunno and his peace
committee, composed of five citizens,
one of whom was a woman, to bring
about an amicable settlement of the
strike, was an absolute failure, and
all peace negotiations for the present
at least have been declared off.
Tie indications are that the strike
is bound to spread to other firms.
Both sides seem determined in the
stand they have taken.
