San Antonio, Tex., July rioting of certain membe Eighth Illinois Infantry, composed of negroes, and the alleged shirking by whole squads of the First Illinois bri- gade on a practice march yesterday, { were the topics of much comment to- | day. Negro guardsmen said that slurs cast on them by whites, both civilian and military, led to the attack on Herbert Henne. Some of them chased Henne from his automobile into a saloon where he defended him- | self until a provost guard of regulars and fired on the militlamen, slightly wounding three of them.

The first rescue party accomplished nothing. The second saved one of the first relief expedition. No one has yet reached any of the original eleven caught in .the workings. Of the efght rescuers. ¥ho got out alive two died later. The others may die. Two men were also overcome by fumes who did not go 4nto the tunnel. A third rescue party entered the tunnel at 8:30 and brought out alive Gustay O. Van Duzen, superintendent of water works construction, who had headed the second relief force. Van Duzen may die from his experiences. One body also was brought out by the ¥hird rescue party. This was a jaem- ber of the second rescue crew. It had been supposed that Van Duzen ¥ad perished. The tragic fate of the rescuers in the first and second instances was due to the fact that they worked with- out oxygen helmets, which were not gvailable. The third rescue party was equipped with helmets. Farly this morning three members of a rescue party headed by Van Du- zen who were found in the air lock were brought to the surface at the outer crib, five miles from shore, Ef- forts to revive the men with lung motors were made, and they respond- a4, but it is believed their cases are hopele It is feared that the rest of Van Du- gen's party have met the same fate esthe others trapped in the deadly tunnel fumes. e Admits Rescue Squad.

They found the 2ir lock jammed but Willlam Dolan, lock ten- ®er, cut his way through from the in- gide with an axe and admitled the. rescuers. They plunged into the tun- nel, but themselves were overcome. Dolan managed to drag John Johnson and Peter McKenna out and get them to the elevator in the crib shaft. All three were in a dazed condition from the gas, but managed to reach the erib and the alarm was given. Rock- afs were sent up and the telephone was used to bring aid.

They fell out because of tha heat, they said, but all were in the ranks this morn- ing when the second stage of the march, ten miles, was begun. The Second and the Seventh maintained a normal cadience yesterday and stood the heat much better than the First. Altogether the showing of the brigade came as a painful surprise to General Funston who asserted that he knew the men were in good physical condi- tion and needed even harder work to season them properly.

London, July 25, 1:50 p. m.—A de- spatch from Berne by way of Pon- tarlier, France, given out today by the Wireless Press, says: “Another speech by Emperor Wil- liam during his recent visit to the Somme front is being discussed in Berlin.
