BOILER EXPLOSION WRECKS VESSEL MAJORITY OF THOSE ON BOARD EITHER KILLED OR SERI QUSLY INJURED. i AR FILLED WITH HUMAN BODIES VICTIVMS RECOVERED FROM THE WATER AND CARRIED TO HOSPITALS. | San Diego, Cal, July 22.—One of the most frightful disasters in the peace history of the American navy, except the sinking of the Maine in Havana harbor, occurred in San Diego bay shortly after 10:30 a. m., on board the United States gunboat Renning- ton. A boiler of the vessel exploved and probably every man on board was oither killed or wounded. It is be- lleved that at least fifty men have been killed. There were on board at the time of the explosion 278 men. A majority of the wounded have been recovered, many being rescued from the water and taken to various hos- pitals. As a result of the explosion a sec- tion of the upper deck was carried away from stem to stern. The ship Is listing to starboard and probably will sink. Captain Young, who was mshore at the time of the accident, has telegraphed the navy department giv- ing the facts as far as known. The explosion was accompanied by o roar as of thunder and a shock that rocked vessels nearby. In an instant the air was filled with shrieks and cries of pain from the wounded, which could be heard ashore, and with fly- ing fragments of human beings and pleces or [lie SUIPS superstructure. Wounded Struggle in Water. The uext moment bleeding sailors were fighting in the water against death in only a less sudden form than that which they had seemingly es- caped. Rowboats, launches and tugs were being driven to the rescue as fast as arms, wind and steam could carry them. Within half an hour from the time of the explosion carriages, buggies, automobiles and street cars were bear- ing burdens of victims to the hos- pitals. The sight which met the eyes of hundreds along the streets will never be forgotten. Carriages with a dozen wounded men were not rare, Oue bad eight sitting or leaning egalnst the sides, holding in their laps the heads of comrades near to death, all of them with faces bla with smoke and grime and many clothed in nothing but trousers, Some of those whose bodies were bare, not in- jured in vital parts, but suffering the | agonies of torn flesh, sat up with lacer- ated bodies exposed to the wind. A corps of men with blackened bod- fes were hurried through the streets to places where blood could be slaunched, gaping wounds stitched or wore heroic treatment given. SAVED BY TELEPHONE. Residents of Lowlands Escape Ap- proaching Flood. Joplin, Mo., July 22.—The flood wa- ters of Spring river reached the big dam at Lowell, Kan,, early in the day and with all the floodgates open the water raised within two feet of the top of the dam. The gauge showed 28 feet of water. Half a mile above ihe dam the water broke out of the banks and flooded Vark, a little vil- lage, with three feet of water. The wagon bridge across (e river at Lowell was washed away and the bridge of the St. Louis and San Fran- | elsco railway is expected to go at any time. Good telephone service along the river provided an opportunity to warn people residing in the lowlands and they sought safety on higher lands. So far only one death has been reported, that of Calvin Rudy of Carthage, whose body has not yet been found. It is estimated that damage to crops and live stock will amount to $500,000. The railway situation in the vicinity of Joplin has become serious. The Missouri Pacific has been unable to et into Joplin for three days. TO AVOID A PANIC.

Tokio, July 22.—A special telegram from Otaru says that the Russians defeated at " Dalin were about 500 strong, with six field guns and three machine guns, and taking the fullest advantage of the topographical char- acter of the district offered the most desperate resistance. The Russian positions were hidden among a thick forest and it was impossible for the Japanese gunners 1o make a correct observation. The cannonade, how- ever, was opened by the Japanese at 6 o'clock on the morning of July 7 and was kept up’ until dusk. The Japanese infantry, gradually gaining | ground, closed in on the enemy’s line of defense and awaited an opportunity for the final charge. It was nearly two hours past midnight when the en- emy's first line of defense, strength- ened by barricades and trenches, was taken. This success was vigorous followed up, but it was not until 9 o'clock on the morning of July § that the enemy was driven out of the sec: ond line of his defense and victory secured, with trophies of four field and one machine gun. The nature of the ground placed the Japanese assail- ants at a great disadvantage. SURRENDER TO JAPANESE. About Five Hundred Russians Taken on Island of Sakhalin, Tokio, July 22—It is officially an- nounced that the Russians who have thus far surrendered at various points on Sakhalin island numbgr 461, includ- ing one colonel and fourteen other officers.

The Temps gives prominence to an | MINISTRY MAY RESIGN BALFOUR'S GOVERNMENT SUS- TAINS SEVERE DEFEAT IN HOUSE OF COMMONS. 'GIVEN ANOTHER CHANGE FOR LIFE | OPPOSITION ISSUES CHALLENGE FOR DECISIVE TEST VOTE ON MONDAY NEXT. London, July 22.—The house of com- | mons sat nearly an hour during the day and then adjourned until Monday to await the government’s decision re- garding its future course of action in | view of the defeat of the ministry on John Redmond’s motion to reduce the { membership of the Irish land commis- sion. Theshouse was packed in every part. Much tement. was visible on all sides and there was a disposition to view the defeat of the government as more serious than it was regarded in the earlier hours. Immediately after the house had assembled Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the Liberal lead- er, moved its adjournment, declaring that it would be unseemly under the circumstances to proceed with busi- ness while the government was con- sidering its position. Premier Ba!four, however, declined to adjourn the house until the bill dealing with the differ- ences of the Scottish United Free church and the Free church had been passed. This was quickly accom- plisbed, the house rose and the ex- | cited members swarmed into the lob- | bies eagerly discussing the probable decisionof the cabinet on the guestion of resigning. The view that the government will resign, however, is not held in cles generally well informed of the govern- ment’s intentions and it is reiterated that the vesignation of the Balfour ini is not likely in view of the practical certainty that the government will be rehabilitated by its normal majority on the trial of strength July 24, to which the opposi- tion formally challenged the ministry. i ASSASSIN AFTER SULTAN ATTEMPT MADE TO SLAY THE TURKISH RULER AT CON- STANTINOPLE.

The closing quotation, 90%% was at the highest point of the ¥ For forty-eight hours the ad- vance shown is 53 cents a bushel. The cause of the bulge was further confirmation of black rust in the wheat fields of the Dakotas and Min- nesota.

Chicago, July 22—Striking team- sters, who have given_ up their long struggle against the employers, broke ranks during the day in a stampede for work. The barns of the strike affected fiews” were besieged by men who have bLeen idle for months and whose places have been filled by non- union men. The employers in many cases announced that there were va- cancies for only a few. Of more than 4,000 men who quit not more than 1,400 or 1,500 will be reinstated dur- ing the next few da; Coal teamsters and truck drivers did not join in the rush for re-employment. The order of the Teamsters’ Joint Council, which authorized the surren- der, was for all men on strike to ask for reinstatement. Both the truck drivers and the coal teamsters balked at this and plan to hold meetings and “fight it out till they can go back to work like union men.” However, the boycott against business houses has been lifted officially by the action of the council and it is expected there will be no more sympathetic strikes of teamsters. Nearly every one of the strikers at the department stores filed application for reinstatement. In many cases the men were put to work at once.

Large Amount of Dynamite to Ra Touched Off. Portsmouth, N. H., July 22.—Final arrangaments have been completed for the discharge of forty-five tons of dy namite under Hendersons point, in the Piscatanqua river here. The dyna- mite has been placed in about 400 apertures drilled under the three acres of ledge which forms the point. The steam pumping machinery which has been used in the enclosure formed by a huge coffer dam,sunder protec- tion of which the drilling was done, will be removed and an opening will e made in the protecting wall to per- mit the water slowly to fill the en- closure. Then, the contractors say, everything will be in readiness for passage of an electric spark which is to set off the dynamite. The removal of the ledge will greatly imprave the water approach fo the Portsmouth navyvard, which, if the project suc- cee as anticipated, will be about 1,000 feet wide and of a depth ranging from thirty-five to ninety feet. ROCKEFELLER DEPRESSED. Oil King Loses Interest in the Chase for Money. Cleveland, July 22.—A local paper priuts a remarkable story of the changed spirit of John D.

With no more worlds left. for his conquering this man of uncounted millions is pictured as being severely -depressed because of the cry of “tainted money,” which is raised each time he attempts a benefaction.
