Shaft in Mine at Dawson, N. M Blocked by
 Debris as Result of an Explosion
ONLY FIVE RESCUEs ARE THUS FAR REPORTED
Rescued Men Suffering From Effects of Gas and Unable to Impart Any Information of Explosion Unknown Superintendent of Mine Among Those Imprisoned Rescue Crews and Cars Start For Scene of Disaster.

1 cured on a slope deep within the mlne. l From conditions which have been met | by rescuers since digging within the ! debris, it is now believed that the air l supply is plentiful, as it has been found i to show better as the rescuers progress ] toward the center of the mine.
 Cause of Explosion Unknown. Major E. L. Kinney of this city has organized a relief camp at the mine. l where rescuers are being cared for and where miners as they are taken out will be given medical assistance if needed. The major declared tonight that il was impossible to make any conjecture concerning the possible loss of life, and that none of the mine off, ciaIs or rescuers on the ground would care to make any statement. He said the mine was so constructed as to per init of the least possible danger from such explosions.
 According. to Major Kinney, no cause for the explosion has been learned, and it is believed it will not be known un- til the miners who are now entOmbed half a mile from the entrance have been rescued and tell their story. So far none of the men rescued Rad been able to approach the airshaft or any of the workings within the mine which would have proved a means of exit through another shaft and the fact that none of the other entombed min CTS have been able to make their way out of the mine leads ito the belief that all have been cut off from every means of exit.
 Air Supply Chief Concern.
 The air supply within the mine is now the chief concern of the rescuers who believe they will be able to reach the interior of the mine by tomorrow night at least.
 In the relief camps situated several yards from the entrance to Mine No. - are gathered the women and children of the entombed miners. The miners families are cheered by the knowledge that Superintendent McDermOtt is among the main body of miners en- tonbed and they have confidence, as have mine officials. in the superin- tendent's resources in such a disaster.
 Relief parties from nearby towns are constantly arriving, and by tomorrow morning the number of rescuers In Dawson will be well into the hundreds, all equipped with the latest apparatus for combating gases and other evils of mine explosions.
 Rescue Work by Shifts
 Tonight the rescue work is proceed ing by shifts. As one group of work CTS Is driven back for air, another takes its place, so that the work is continu- ous That system is to be continued until the last of the men known to have been caught in the explosion will have been found.

DIAZ DEFIANT.
Remains at Vera Cruz and Makes a
 Campaign Speech

Vera Cruz, Oct. 22.-General Felix Diaz, in defiance of the intimation from the government that he proceed to l Tampico aboard the steamer CorcoVado and there disembark, has decided to remain at Vera Cruz. at least tempo rarily He is unwilling to admit that he is not free to come and go, and talks of a trip to the capital tomorrow or Friday.
 According to reports current here tonight he is likely to return to Havana aboard a Mexican Warshfp, and unless the orders from the capital are altered he will be left no choice.
 General Diaz was to have been nOti- fled on the high sea of the govern ment's wishes. but the captain of the gunboat Zafagoza, who put to sea in the middle of the night, with Colonel VidaurraZa ga, secretary to the minis ter of war, to whom the mission had been entrusted, lost his course. A new captain for the Zaragoza was named today.
 When the CorcovadO arrived an agent of the government attempted to induce General Diaz to continue his voyage to Tampico The general would not consider this, but came ashore at II o'clock in the morning. From the moment of his landing he has profess ed his intention of continuing the po- itical fight, even although close fol- lowers have suggested that there would have futile' in view of the Huerta- Banquet ticket.
 Tn a speech from the balcony of a hotel to a few hundred workingmen who gathered to greet him, despite po- lice orders against demonstrations, General Diaz reiterated his purpose of continuing the campaign, but. at the same time members of the committee which had come here to welcome him were convinced that he would not be permitted to finish the presidential contest

WASHINGTON RETICENT
Officials Decline to Discuss Great Britain's Attitude-Diaz Defies Hu- erta and Starts Campaign.

Washington, Oct 22.-State depart ment officials today declined to discuss in any way the inquiries made by Ambassador Page in London in respect to Great Britain's attitude in Mexico
 It was evident that in whatever is passing between Great Britain and the United States on the latest phase of the Mexican situation the utmost se crecy is to be observed. At the White House there was positively no infor- nation available, and Secretary Bryan who spent the entire day at home working on foreign matters, displayed extreme reticence about the subject. No Further Conferences Until After
 Election.
 Diplomats generally were of the opinion that there would be further conferences, but that they were not date of the Mexican elections. A new expression of policy is expected from the United States immediately after that date.
 No developments of importance in the internal situation in Mexico were reported except the arrival of General Felix Diaz, which John Lind promptly cabled to the state department with out comment.
 More Warships Coming.
 The despatch of warships to Mexi- can waters by France, Germany, Great Britain and Japan brought forth no comment from officials here It is known that the sending of Warships is not regarded by the United States as conflicting in any way with the desire of this government for a free hand in dealing with the Mexican problem.

 Rescuing Crews on Way.
 Accounts from Dawson and Raton were uncertain as to the possibility of Tescuing any of the men alive, while statement came from Fl Paso today that expressed hope that most of the entombed men would be found alive.

 Immediate relief work was under taken by men from the night shift and neighboring@ mines. Appeals for help started scores of experienced miners from LtllAud4 anu LiAG otu OuAlalllo coal camps shortly after o'clock, and they were expected to reach Dawson before midnight.

DREDGING FLEET
 IN GATUN LAKE.
Four Hours Consumed in Lifting 1t
 from Sea Level.


 Panama, Oct. 22.-Three dredges and other vessels, numbering in all fifteen were lifted together from the sea. channel to the surface of Gatun lake through the Gatun locks today. The operation consumed about four hours a longer time than usual, owing to the difficulty experienced in maoeuver- ing so many craft at one time into a proper position. These dredges and auxiliary craft are destined to form part of the dredging fleet in the CuIe- bra cut section. That part of the cut which is blocked by the Cucaracha slide is filling with water slowly. A depth of thirteen feet was attained this morning.
 The work of trenching and blasting has been abandoned as useless and the engineers have resorted to a suction dredge which is pumping water over the barriers into the south end of the cut. When the water in this section reaches a depth of 28 feet a dredge from the Pacific entrance will be lifted through the Pacific locks and set to work excavating the slide.
