They told me tina Dr. Cook had with
him, after they left, two Eskimo boys

WARSHIP ORDERED

 ARAGuA AND U. S.
Secretary Knox and His Assistants Have Long counclI--outcome of
 Assassination of Americans.

Washington. Nov 20.--That the critical situatioi between this country and Nicaragua has reached the acute stage was evinced tonight when Sec Iretary Knox sent for his colleagues in the state department and for the acting secretary of the navy and his aides to meet in conference in his home. For nearly three hours the statesmen went over the situation. The result of their deliberation was not made public, but 1t was not de- nied that more warships are to be dispatched south at once.
 When does she sail?' Acting Sec retary of the Navy Winthrop asked Rear Admiral Potter, as he came down the steps of Secretary Knox's resi- dence.
 Monday" responded the officer. Neither would explain the meaning of their question or answer.
 The day was replete with confer ences On the Nicaraguan situation. Acting Secretary Winthrop in the morning held a long session with Ad- miral Potter and his assistant Captain Chandler. Immediately at the con. clusion of the meeting, Mir Babcock, private secretary to Secretary Knox, was summoned to Mir Winthrops of flee.

Decisions in St. Louis and St. Paul Declared the Standard oil Com ! pany Was an Illegal !
 Combination. |

St. Paul, Minn, Nov. 20.---In an op- ion written by Judge Walter H. San- born of St. Paul and concurred in by Judges Vandeventer, Hook and Adams with as pecial concurring opinion by Judge Hook of the United States cir cult court for the eastern district of Missouri, today handed down an opin- ion declaring the Standard Oil Com pany of New Jersey an Illegal combi- nation, operating in restraint of trade and ordering fits dissolution. The opin- ion of the court was filed cimultan- eously in St Louis and St. Paul. i In this decision the government of the United States wins sweeping victory and, according to Frank B.. Kellogg, of this city, who was the. governments special prosecuting offi- cef, the government has won every point for which it contended.
 The case will be appealed direct to the United States supreme court. as the judges who signed today's de- cree are, in effect. the judges of the United States circuit court of appeals, although they were sitting for the p1ir- pose of trying this case as the circuit court for the eastern district of Ms souri.
 The decree of the court dissolving the Standard Oil Company becomes effective in thirty days when. no doubt a stay will be granted for the purpose of an appeal. When the decree takes effect, unless stay is granted. an injunction will be issued restrain. ing the Standard oil Company from a further continuance of its business under its present formation.
 It appears from the concurring opin- ion wlitten by Judge Hook. that the company cannot do business under any other form with the object of stifiing competition. For, says Judge Hook on this subject. it is thought that with the end of the combination, the monopoly will naturally disappear.
 But should it not do so and the members of the combination netire from il except one who might perpet- uste the monopoly by the aggregation of the physical properties and instru- mentallties, 1t would constitute a vio- lation of the decree of the court.
 In the trial of the case. the point was made that the Standard Oil Com rany was a benehcient corporation in that it. by reason of economy in operation. reduced the price of it's product. This, Judge Hook says. can have no weight.
 The suit terminated by today's de cision was begun by direction of the general of the United States in St Louis November 15, 1909. Frank B. .Aellogg of St Paul was spe- cjal prosecutor assisted by Charles B. Morrison of Chicago. Frank H. Poole and j. H. Graves of the de-

 Cherry, H., Nov 20.--The gamut from deepest despair uo an hysteria of hope was run here today when twenty miners. entombed in the St. Paul mine for week almost to the hour, were brought to the surface alive <
 The story of their sufferings and the heroism of their resourceful lead. CTS is one of the most thrilling in all the black history of mining districts.
 Dawn broke with the bearers of stretchers moving from the pit mouth to the tent which served as morgue, with bodies swollen and scorched al most beyond human semblance.
 FoiHy of them had been brought up and most of them identified. when the marvellous report shot through the prostrafe community
 They've found them alive; they've found them alive"
 In a moment the morgue was de- serted scarcely to be revisited. while the crowd, fairly insane with the great hope which had sprung like a milacuolus flame from the ashes of despair. rushed to the pit.
 All thought was of the men who . were alive. It took six hours to bring the survivors to the surface.
 Meanwhile a report spread that sev- enty or more men were alive in a far fepch of the mine, cut off from es- cape by a bank of black damp be tween their barricade and the main shaft.
 But two oxygen helmets remained at the mine, the others having been started back to Pittsburg this morn ing, and with this scant equipment two experts began al new exploration. At 9 D. m. they emerged. their oxygen tanks being exhausted and reported no success.
 There are other resourceful lead CTS among the missing and they. like Waite. Clelland and others. may have led their men to comparative safety" said States Attorney NJ. D. Ecker't to- night.
 The search Is now for the living"
 Less optimistic notes were sounded but the women, with hope born afresh. refused to believe anything but the

best, and haunted the mine far into the night, seizing frantically a. every stIaw of encouragement offered.
 At hate hour tonight Dr. Weeks. one of the physicians in charge of the survivors said:
 T have talked with all of the res cued men. They say they are con vinced many are still alive. but it would be impossible to estimate how many. There may be fifty or hum dted, or there may be less. It seems that the men are scattered in all parts of the mine. If the others have bar ricaded themselves as these did they are still safe.
 At 10 o'clock the men coming up from below said they had heard sig. nels in distant parts. but theses sec tions are still cnt off by Instructions. Some, however, are within reach and aIe being given medical attention. They will be brought up as rapidly as pcssible.r
 At ? o'clock this afternoon the men were reached after wall of debris had been broken down. At first they were supposed to be dead, but one of them raised his hand and the rest were found to be breathing.
 The living men were at once brought to the shaft and restoratives administered One of the men, after being brought to the sunlight after seven days entombment. was only able to mutter incoherently. His face was black from the smoke and, slightly scorched.
 The accident occurred in the Sf. Paul mine at 3 D. m, November 13. The men taken out alive at D. m, today. were therefore in the mine 166 hours.
 Since Monday there has been no expert, either of the schools or prac- tical mining. who believed soul re- mained alive. The condition of the Lodies brought up showing suffocation and the fact that there was still food in their dinner pails seemed to indi- cate that every life had been snuffed out in one hideous blast of noxious gases.
 Last night one of the most experi- enced of government experts explain ed to reporter how the St. Paul diff fered from others, where some had escaped death. The construction of the mine and its character of geolog- ioal deposits were against hoping for anything save death in horrible form.
 The discovery of the men was al- most accidental They had been thinking seepage and were pounding on the wall in order to make the wa ter drip down. The noise of the pounding was heard by the rescuers and the work of reaching them was begun.
 It was discovered that the men. af- ter eating up all the food in their dinner pals, had subsisted mostly on bark torn off the pine posts which were used to support the mine walls.
 The fight of the entombed men against death was led by Joseph Cres- oini CrescinI was one of the two men brought up in the first cage. He reported between thirty and forty oth-

FIRE BREAKS ANEW.

 Fire apparatus had to be lowered and stream Of water had to be again turned into the mine. IL was feared if the fire was not extinguished at once many Of the men will perish.
 Up to midnight only twenty men had been brought to the surface.
 The fire at 12:o5 appeared to be spreading and the heat grew more ln- tense.
 R. E. Maxwell, mining engineer in the rescue party, was overcome and had to be hurredIy brought tc the surface.
 Cherry. lIi, Nov. 2f.--(2 A. M.)--At this hour the fire was still burning and the heat was so intense as to pre- vent any rescue Of living before day light.
