TOWING SERVICE
IN THE STRAITS
Company Being Organized in
Denmark to Render Ma
gelIan Passage Safe.

Berlin, Jan. 19-The impending pas
sage of the American battleship fleet
through the Straits of Magellan and
the widespread discussion among navi-
gators regarding the dangers of that
passage lend unusual interest to the
announcement that a company is being
organized in Denmark to establish a
complete towing service in those wa
ters. According to a dispatch to the
Vossiche Zeitung from Copenhagen,
the scheme originates with the we'll
known Danish writer Otto LARSEN,
who was himself for many years a
sailor and often made the voyage
around the horn. The number of sail
ing vessels from English, German,
Dutch and Scandinavian ports passing
around from the Atlantic into the Pa
cific is estimated at about 5000 yearly.
As is we'll known, this is one of the
most dangerous points in the oceans of
the world. LARSEN estimates that an
average of ten vessels with 800 men
are lost there every year. The vessels
that round the cape are mostly on their
way to Chilean ports for the purpose
of taking on cargOes of nitrate of soda
for European markets, and as most of
them make the outward voyage under
ing outward cargo, their passage
around the horn is attended with spe-
cial danger.
Vessels must waste much time in
buffeting with wind and wave, and
even after rounding the cape they often
need repairs owing To the strain that
they have undergone. 1t takes sailing
vessels four to six weeks to round it,,
while they could be tugged through the
straits in thirty-six hours. AS the rate
of insurance for vessels rounding the
cape is very high. owners would get
much lower rates by sending their yes
sells through the straits; hence the pro-
mOters of the new scheme assume that
all owners OF 2000-ton vessels and
larger will be willing to pay literally
to have their vessels tugged through
the straits. The new company pro-
poses to begin business with a capital
of about $780, 600, and if this. money is
not all forthcoming in Denmark. other
countries will be asked to help.

|ANARCH|SHC PLOT To
BLOW UP BATTLESHIPS
Conspiracy to Destroy All or Part of Admiral
Evans Fleet Unearthed at Rio
de Janeiro.
Police of the Southern Republic on the Alert After Being No.
titled From Washington and Paris.

Rio Janeiro. Jan. 19.-The Brazilian
police have discovered an anarchistic
plot here having as its object the de-
struction of part of the American fleet
now lying in the harbor The conspir-
acy, while centering in Rio Janeiro and
PetropOlis, has qualifications in Sac
Paulo and Minas Geraes. An individ-
ual named Jean Fedher, who resided in
Petropolis, was the CHIEF conspirator
here, although it is understood that
foreign anarchists are deeply involved
in the plot.
Arch-Conspirator Fled.
Fedher is believed to have fed to Sac
Paulo, and the police. who know him.
have been sent to that place for the
purpose of experimenting him. One Of
the detectives, who was well acquaint-
ed with Fedher having served on the
police force at Petropolis for some time
returned from that place today, after
having made investigations there, and
had a long conference with the chief
of police at Rio Janeiro. The latter
gave it to be understood later that the
Sac Paulo police are on the track of
the arch-cOnspirator and expect to ar
rest him soon.
Notified From Washington.
In an official note which the chief
of police sent to the correspondent OF
the Associated Press he says:
Some time before the arrival of
the American fleet at Rio Janeiro the
Brazilian government received from
Washington and Paris news that anarch-
lists of different natiOnalities intended
to damage one or several of the ships
of the American fleet. The names and
addresses ofethe conspirators were in
dictated by information which the pO-
lice here had received previously from
France and Germany. The police Of
this district are working with the pO-
lice of Sac Paulo and Minas Geraes,
and l am sure every precaution will be
exercised and the most rigorous vigi-
lance observed both on land and at
sea to prevent any injury being done. !"
Refuge in the Interior.
The chief of police, after having made
this official statement. said that he did
not feel he should go into any further
details with regard to the conspiracy,
but he authorized the statement that
the plot was organized by FedheT. and
he added that the people of the United
States could rest easy, as all of the con-
spirators had taken refuge in the in
terror.
AS yet the people of Brazil are ig-
norant of the details of the plot to do
injury to the visitors, although there
has been some slight inkling of the
matter The impression which the ex-
posture OF this plot will create here
will be a profound one, because it is
the first anarchistic conspiracy that has
ever been known in Brazil.

DOUBTED BY PILLssURY.
Rear Admiral Takes No Stock in the
Story from Rio de Janeiro.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Rear Admiral
John z. PiIlsbury, chief of the bureau
of. navigation of the navy department,
was greatly surprised to learn through
the Associated Press dispatches to-
night of the discovery of an anarchistic
plot in Rio de JaneirO. the object of
which is the destruction of a part Of
Rear Admiral Evans battleship fleet.
1t was the first intimation the admiral
had had of such a plot.
Il cannot believe it; it seems pre-
posterous," said Admiral Pillsbury. 1t
was, he said. about on a par with the
rumor, having its origin in Paris. of
an attempt to destroy the battleships
Connecticut and Missouri He said that
it would be a strange thing if the an
aTchists should go so far as Brazil bent
on the destruction of the Pacific
bound fleet when they probably could
carry out their plot with greater ease
in this country.
No News From Evans.
Thousands of people annually visit
the American battleships at Hampton
Roads. New York and other places. and
it would not be a very difficult matter
for anyone having as an object the
blowing up of a ship to carry out his
intention. No adviCeS were received At
the navy department from Rear Ad
miral Evans today, and Admiral Pills
bury expressed the opinion that he
would have notified this government If
he had been officially informed of the
existence of a plot at Rio. Admiral
Pillsburg did not know anything rela-
tive to the rumOr that Admiral Evans
was DESTROYS to leave Rio earlier than
the scheduled time because Of runners
of plots to destroy his fleet. The battle
ship fleet is due to leave Rio on
Tuesday, and Admiral Pillsbury does
not believe that Admiral Evans will
leave there earlier than the appointed
time.

"Ah." This was the first exclamation
of Bailey when he reached the outer

forward into the arms of comrades who
stood ready to assist him and was led
TO the change room of the Alpha shaft,
where. in a few minutes, he recuper-

laugh he was led off by a cOmrade to

These expressions were characters

men. All were supremely happy and

On the morning of Dec. Mcdonald,
Brown and Bailey and two Greeks
were working in the bottom of the
third compartment shaft, eighty-five
feet below the pump station and LOSS
feet below the surface. The cave-in
occurred at 8 o'clock.
The cabue used to haul the cage from
the third compartment to the shaft
snapped and thousands of tons of
rock, debris and timbers fell down into
the shaft. From the bottom of the
compartment in which the men were
working to the pumping station, a dis
lance of eight-five feet, a series of
rickety ladders offered the only means
of escape.
With falling rocks and timbers
streaming down upon them the five
struggled up these ladders.
Two Greeks Killed.
Half way up falling timbers knocked
the two Greeks from the ladder. kill
ing them. Bailey, Mcdonald and Brown
managed to reach the pump station.
Its well timbered roof had withstoOd
the rock and timber that came down
the shaft and offered them shelter and
safety. Here for the first day after
the cave-in the men crouched, while
at intervals they could hear the rocks
and timbers crashing above them.
At first it was thought that all the
men had persisted, but twenty-four
hours after the cave-in the three men
who occupied the pumping station
managed to make themselves heard by
tapping upon the six-inch water pipe
that stretched from the pumping sta
ton to the surface. 1t was this pipe
that was the means of saving the lives
of the three men.
