TOday's Telegraphic News
REVOLT IN MANCHURIA.

London, May 3l.-A St. Petersburg
dispatch states that General LinieviIch
wired the Gar today that the news of
Roiestyensky' defeat has spread through
cut the army in Manchuria, and That the
troops are in open revolt. The dispatch
has caused the greatest excitement aud
comes from an authentic and reliable
source. 1t is said in the same sources
that General Lnievitch has advised the
Car that it will be impossible to con-
tinue the war under the circumstances.
Russian patriotism is rising in wave OF
Indignation at the present regime of the
Grand Duke and the Bureaucracy, to
whom they attribute the disaster that
Roiestvensky has met and from all sides,
comes the cry of the populace for an i'm
mediate change in administration.
The Gar is no longer considered.
Loyalty to him has fallen. He is not to
blame, personally, the people feel. For
Russia's sake, in the cry of editors,
lawyers, mobiles, farmers, and peasants,
the reign of the royal family lin its
present scourse must cease. Even NJ
Sovereign, editor OF the conservative
Novoe Vremya demands that the people
take the helm. Even the Slobo, the
organ Ct the Grand Duke Alixief, ex-
plains that Russia has had enough OF
calamities, and demands change that
will give peace.
Rumors are thickly current that the
Car intends to resign. The convocation
of representative assembly is confident
y expected this afternoon. Great gen
erals, admirals, all the ministers and the
grand dukes, have been in conference
with the emperor tonight at the Tasars-
koe Selo palace. Officials in their ex-
p.essions of sorrow and admissions that
Russia has lest her sea power for half a
century to come. The revolt in the army
may be the final event in the series of
disasters that have Overtaken Russia
since February 8, 1904, when the war
opened.

Correspondence OF the Alexandra gazette J
Washington, d. c., May 81.
President Roosevelt has taken no steps
looking to the Inauguration of peace
negotiations. While be and all other
officials of the administration believe
that peace is nearer now than 1t has
ever been since the outbreak of the war
between Russia and Japan, he realizes
that it will require some time for the
full effect of Togo's victory to be ap-
preciated at the Russian capital. There
fore he does not regard the present
moment oppOrtune to make even the
slightest suggestion with regard to medi-
alton. 1t can be stated autboritativeiy
that he will make no open oyertures uD-
ill he has been assured that they will be
acceptable to both Russia and Japan. 1t
can further be stated that Secretary
Taft's visit on the President last night
had no reference to peace negotiations
either now or in the immediate future
and, in fact, that the subject was not
mentioned except in the most general
way.
The Navy Department was advised
this morning by Lieut.. Marble, United
States naval attache at Toxic, that Ad-
miral Rojestvensky and the two captured
Russian rear admirals we're severely
wounded. Considerable doubt exists
in the minds of officials of the Navy De-
partment as to whether Admiral Rojest-
vensky has or has not been captured by
the japanese. Lieut.. Marble, the United
States naval attache at Toxic, Japan,
sent dispatch to the Navy Department
today in which he says: 'The Russian
commander-in-chiefa and the two Rus
sian rear admirals whoare captured have
been severely wounded" The ambi-
guilty in this dispatch relative to the
whereabouts OF the person Of Admiral
Rojestvensky shows, according to the
Navy Department cficials, that Toxic
is still uncertain whether he has fallen
into the hands OF Admiral Togo. The
fact that he was wounded seems to be

sion again at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
None of the directors would say what

Entombed i'm Tunnel.

A cave-in occurred yesterday in the
Gunnison tunnel, one Of the largest irri
cation projects of the United State gov
eminent at Montrose, Col, entombing
a number of workmen variOusly esti-
mated at from twenty to twenty-five. II
is not likely that any Of the men are
dead, unless they were caught and crush
ed to death by the falling earth, for the
air pump pipes running into the tunnel
have ben working almost without inter-
ruption since the accident happened at
10 o clock yesterday morning. A shaft
is being sunk directly over the spot
where the men are buried, and machin-
cry is in place to remove the dirt and
rcck as fast as it can be dug or blown
out. The shalt must penetrate sixty
five feet before the tunnel can be reach
ed, and it is not thought that the dis
lance can be covered before sometime
today. The cavern occurred beneath
the bed of Cedar Greek, and was pri
marily d1e to the soflened earth, caused
by seepage from the creek.
This morning, the body ofan unknown
workman was found in the tunnel, but
before it could be dug out, another cave
in started, burying it again. Two other
men who were caught in the timbers can
be heard calling for help.

Keeninp News From PEOPLE.

st. Petersburg, May 3l.-While the
people now are generally aware of the
fact that Rojestyensky has been defeated
by the japanese, hardly more than 200
persons know the full extent of the loss,
pains having been taken not to allow the
news of the overwhelming disaster to
creep out. The newspapers, however
except the reactionary press, in the light
of what is known, say that Russia has
had enough of the war and urge peace.
The papers take the ground that the
bureaucracy and not the nation has suf-
fered defeat. In governmental circles,
the most amazing indifference is shown
in regard to the disaster. Last night,
the admiralty was entirely deserted, all
the officers having either gone to their
palaces or being spectators at the theatres.

destroyer Grozny at VIadivostok reach
