oHIoAGo STRIKE SITUATION
Nothing Develops to Indicate m Early
 settlement.


 Chicago, May 2s.-Nothing developed to-day to indicate an early settlement of the teamsters strike which has been in progress for nearly two months. That the labor unions are of the belief that the fight will be long one was demonstrated at the meetings of the Chicago Federation of Labor to-day when arrangements were made for holding a strike demonstration on July 5. At the meeting to-day each union affiliated with the Central body was represented by three delegates at the request of President Dold. The strike situation was discussed in all it's de- tails, and the sentiment of the meet ing was that the teamsters should con tinue the fight until the seven express companies offer some sort of compro- misc
 With over 1000 poplicemen and depu- ty sheriffs detailed on strike duty. the employers declare that during the pres- ent week they will be able to demon- strate to the strikers that any further continuation of the fight will be suici- dal to the Teamsters' union.
 Tn the next Sew days we shall have all the help needed to get business back to a normal bases said Superinten- dent Reed of the Employers Teaming association, tonight. During the last week we secured over 1,5O0 drivers from cities and towns outside of Chi cago and there are several hundred more en route. The State street stores and the other business houses have enough men to handle all their wag- ons, so it is only a question of police protection.
 To-day was one of the quietest days since the strike began.

CREW EXHAUSTED IN
 FIGHT WITH FLAMES
OLD DOMINION LINER COM
 PEELED TO PUT BACK.

The Hamilton Runs Into Norfolk After
 Being Five Hours Out from That Port
 for New York--Fire Could Not be Put
 Out at sea--Large Force Fight It.
 No Passengers Aboard.
 Norfolk, Va, May 2S.--With fire rag ing n her forward hold, and her crew exhausted from two hours and half work fighting the flames, the Old Do minion steamship Hamilton, after leav- ing port for New York, returned tc Norfolk at S:30 o'clock this afternoon, There were no passengers aboard
 The Hamilton left at 4:30 o'clock this morning, and when she was about five hours out the automatic fire alarm sounded in the engine room indicating a ire somewhere between decks in the forward hold.
 When the crew responded to the alarm 1t was found that it would bf impossible to reach the fire without shifting the cargo. As much of this was done as was possible, but Captain R. B. Boaz decided that it would moi be safe for him to try to reach New Ycrk, and it was impossible for him to put out the fire at sea, so he turned back for Norforlk because it was the nearest port.
 The hold was flooded and word was sent to the offices of the steamship company as soon as the capes were reached.
 One of the largest tugs of the com, pany was sent to the aid Of the dis tressed ship, but by the time it was sighted the fire had been gotten under control sufficiently to permit the yes sel to steam back to Norfolk at full speed. # ..#. &I
 The news of the fire had spread among the employees of the company, and crowd was waiting on the wharf when the steamer came in. As soon as the boat had been docked all hands on the wharf went aboard and started to work.
 A number of men were sent from a Wrecking company to assist the em- ployes. The crew were too worn out to continue their efforts.

SINKING OF AMERICAN
 SHIP BY THE RUSSIANS
CONFIRMATION OF REPORT RE- CEIVED IN WASH-
 INGToN.

Name of Vessel Unknown-Defaflx Ex- pected When Crew Reaches Japan-
 St. Petersburg Knows Nothing of the Incident-Bciieyes, However, That
 Rojestvensky's Action Was Compelled
 by Miiitary Necessity.
 Washington, May 2s-Confirmation has been received here from Shanghai of the press report that the Russian
 warships have sunk an unknown Amer ican merchant ship off the Chinese coast. Heavy gun fire is plaintly heard to the northward
 Tolxio, May 2S.-The name and destf-
 nation O. the American steamer which Vice Admiral Rojestvensky is reported to.have sunk off Formosa about May 21 is unknown here. Details concerning the sinking of the vessel are expected to be made known when the crew of the steamer reaches Japan. Although
 nothing is known here about the case lit is expected in official circles that
 Vice Admiral Rojestvensky will claim that the vessel was cruising.
 St. Petersburg, May 2S.-l1.10 a. m.-- Nothing is known at the admiralty of the reported sinking of an unknown American steamer off Formosa by Vice Admiral Rojestvensky. It is recognize ed at the admiralty as quite possible that Rojestvensky may have been corn- pelled by military necessity to destroy a neutral. If he feared that to allow it
 to proceed and report the whereabouts and direction of the Russian fleet
 would endanger his strategic plan he: had no other alternative except to take off the crew and sink the ship. Such an incident is unfortunate, but every naval officer must admit that the risk in sucf, crisis is too great to permit of any chances being taken. If the ship was IunJustifiabiy sunk from the Standpoint of international law Russia, of course,
 will have to foot the bill, but any cost is cheap if it furthered Rojestvensky s mission.

 pair Ship Also Reported Sunk-A
 Running Naval Engagement Now in

 Makes Simple Announcement That Its
 aFleet Had Engaged the Russians in
 the Straits of Korea Saturday and
 Had Held Them.
 According to the latest information, the battle between the Russian and Japanese naval forces for the suprem- acy of the Oriental seats, on which hangs the outcome of the Far Eastern struggle, has begun, if it has not ter minated decisively. E
 All the dispatches received by the Associated Press point to a Japanese victory, though it is not yet known whether the full force of Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky's fighting ships took part in the contest, which, according to the dispatches, took place in the compara- lively narrow waters of the Straits of Korea. The first information came in dispatch from the American consul at Nagasaki to the state department at Washington telling that the Japanese had sunk one Russian battleship, four other warships and a repair ship in the Korean Straits, and this was followed by a dispatch received by the state de- partnlent, the date of which was not given, that the Japanese government had made the announcement that it's fleet had engaged the Russians in the Straits of Korea Saturday and had held them" The state department also re- ceived information that two of the ves- sels reported to have been sunk were the sister battleships Orel and Borodino and that three of the other ships were cruisers.
 From Tsingtau, the German port on the Shantung peninsula, came a report that a running naval engagement took place near the Island of Oki, in the Sea < of Japan, 200 miles northeast of the Straits of Korea, and that the whole Russian fleet did not participate, the slow vessels having been sent around Japan. Russian sources give no news of the battle, while the Japanese gov- ernnent, following it's custom, is silent as to either the battle or it's outcome.

OficiaI Reports Indicating Victory of

Washington, May 28.-A dispatch was received at the state department to- day saying that the Japanese govern ment had made the announcement that it's fleet had engaged the Russians in the Straits of Korea Saturday and had held them. The reported sinking of the battleship Borodino is mentioned in a dispatch received at the state depart ment to-day from the consul at Naga- saki. vll% The following is the text of the Ma gasaki dispatch to the state depart ment:
 aNagasaIxi, May 2S.
 aJapanese sunk the Russian battle shin BOrOdinO and four more Warsh1pS and a repair ship
 The other dispatch reads as follows:
 sTokio, May P.
 aJapanese fleet engaged the Baltic sauadron this afternoon in the Strait of Tsu Sima which was held; cannon atling heard from shOre.o
 The belief ill naval circles in Wash ington is that the Japanese resorted to a free use of their torpedo boats in their attacks on the vessels of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet. The Japanese have large number of torpedo boats in their fleet and they demonstrated their effectiveness in the operations around Port Arthur. Naval officials here tonight express the opinion that it is unlikely that such serious losses as those reported could have been inflicted by ordinary fire.
 From information received in Wash ington to-day it is believed that two os the Russian ships reported to have been sunk in the Korean straits by the Japanese are the Orel and her sister ship the Borodino They are battle- ships of 1S,000 tons. Three other ves- sels reported sunk are believed to have been cruisers, the remaining one being a repair ship. ... The Orel and Borodino are of 1856 tons displacement each, heavily armed, well protected and were designed to make eighteen knots. They measure 397 feet by 76 feet, with 26 feet draught and each have lofty spar deck fully thirty feet above the water line, .ex- tending from the bow to the quarter deck. Forward is mounted pair of l2.4 inch guns in a turret protected by eleven inches of Krupp armor. Another pair of guns, of the same size, is mount ed aft, There are thirty other guns of $ the intermediate battery and the vessels carry two submerged torpedo tubes
