RUSSIAN EXPLORERS DISCOVER NEW LAND
New Land Is Mountainous-Many
WaIrus Were Seen on 1t and Birds
and Other Game in Plenty.

St. Michaeis, Alaska.-The Russian
flagship Taimyr and its consort, the
Waygatch, which constitute Russian
polar expedition under Commander
Wilkitzky. which left Vladivostok
June 10 of this year, reached St Mich
aels stormbound Oct. 8 and brought
news of the discovery north of Siberia
in Lat. 81 NJ, Lon. 104 E. of the new
uninhabited mountainous land, posi-
bly, a continent
The expedition landed with diff
Guilty, raised the Russian flag and took
possession In the name of the car.
Commander Wilkitzky says the shore
of the new country where the expedi-
ton landed and along which the yes
sells travelled Is rocky with high, abb
rupt cliffs, formed evidently from vol
eano activity. Volcanoes Of the dis
trict possibly may have been active
recently, he said. Many high peaks,
he stated, were discernible inland
from the vessels and what seemed to
be vapor could be seen arising from
one of these, The temperature taken
on the shore was 62.6 degrees Fahren
helt. The land was covered with snow
almost to the sea.
Many walrus were seen and bird
life was plentiful, also many rein
deer. Many polar bears were noticed
Bennett Island, the explorer said
had been placed too far north by De
long and Is much smaller than haG
been formerly reported.
The expedition was now in the oper
polar sea and 1t continued east tt
longitude 165 west, thence soutf
through Boring Straits. On Oct. 8 {
severe gale drove the vessels east O
the Lawrence Islands.
North Of Cape Cholyussin, between
the course pursued by the explorin,
ship Fran and Nicholas II Land, tn,
Russian expedition discovered severa
small islands. No evidence of minera
was seen on any of the newly-discov

BIG GANBOA Dixie RENT IN TWAIN
President Wilson Presses Telegraph
Key in White House-Waters
Rush Through.

Washington.-The momentary touch
of key by the president of the Unit
ed States Friday sent a flash OF eiec-
tricity through a continuous telegraph
and cable connection of 1000 miles,
setting off gigantic blast OF dyna-
mite which exploded the Gamboa dixie,
the last of the great physical barriers
to water communication in the canal
It was an extraordinary feat OF teles-
raphy, especially planned for the oc-
casion. At precisely 2 o'clock Friday
afternoons President Wilson simply
closed telegraph key at the White
House, sent the current overland and
under sea, and just few seconds
later the explosion occurred.
While there were many celebrations
of the feat along the coast, there was
no ceremony in Washington, it being
the wish of Colonel Goethals that the
government await the actual opening
of the canal. Besides the wreckage
of the GaInboa dixie, there are two
earth slides to be cleared away before
boats can pass from ocean to ocean.
A few minutes before 2 o'clock Chief
Operator E. w. Smithers at the White
House talked to Galveston, Texas.
rs the cable ready?" he inquired
Eyes," came the answer, and soon
Galveston announced that PA" the
cable call for Panama City, was seen.
By agreement the operator at the
| White House made four distinct dots
at twenty seconds before 2 o'clock.
This gave the signal for the engineers
at the Gamboa dixie to be in readiness
for the flash. They waited twenty
seconds, and on the dot President Viii.
son closed the key which sent the cur.
rent into the dynamite apparatus.
There, it is all over" smiled the
president; "Gamboa is busted
The president sent Colonel Cocktails
engineer of the canal, brief message
of congratulations and turned to those
about him, happy in the thrill of the
moment-for it brought anticipation
Of the final step that will open to the
world short waterways between the
Atlantic and Pacific-the dream o.
centuries.
Engineers now are looking forward
to the final dredging of the great ditcl
with the hope that lighter draft yes
sells used by the diggers will be able
to pass through the entire canal in {
few weeks.

THE MASSACRE At TORREON
HORRIBLE MASSACRE OF SPAN
IARDs BY REBELS REPORTED.
Officers, With 1925 Federal Soldiers,
Put to Death by Victorious
Rebels Under Villa.

City of Mexico.-With the capture
of Torreon by the rebels Wednesday,
rumors are current of massacre OF
Spaniards, which, if confirmed, would
approach the horror of the massacre
of Chinese in the same city during
the Madero revolution in 1910.
1t is estimated that there are be-
tween sixty and hundred Spaniards
in the city of Torreon. Refugees who
have communicated with the rebels in
that district declare that it has been
common boast that they would
slaughter the Spaniards if they sue
coded in capturing the town.
The Spanish minister to Mexico,
Senior Cologian y Cologan, held long
conference with the American charge,
Nelson 'Shaughnessy, and the latter
made an appointment with the Mexi-
can foreign minister. The American
charge is convinced of the truth OF the
capture of the city and has so noti-
fled Washington. Few Americans are
| left in Torreon. Besides Spaniards,
there are number of French and Ger
mans residing in Torreon. Their dip
| lomatic representatives are making eft.
forts to learn their fate.
The rebels are said to be headed
| by Francisco Villa, whose reported
capture and execution by the federals
recently was later disproved. They
are said to have swooped down I'm
expectedly the last of September, the
federals evacuating.
Torreon has been under siege fol
many weeks, but it was recently re
ported that the rebels had been driver
back. 1t has always been declared b!
the authorities to be impregnable be
cause of the heavy artillery will
which it is protected.
General Alvarez and his staff o
the federal army, together with II
federal soldiers, were executed Wed
nesday in Torreon under orders
General Francisco Villa of the consti
nationalist forces, according to infol
nation from reliable sources brough
J to Laredo, Texas. With the city
Torreon, the rebels captured virtual
all of the arms and artillery of tn
/, federals. The battle lasted four days
| with heavy losses on both sides.
The federals did not abandon To
reon, but were tricked into falls
t pursuit, during which constitutions
!. lists slipped into the city. Fightin

a ports received. Foreigners were
