I congratulate this country | and Russia, Europe and the world upon what I believe will be the result of | the last few days’ megotiations.” | A vote of approval of Balfour’s con- duct of the negotiations was enthu- siastically passed. Embassador Benckendorff, who has been working night and day, to-night | expressed the greatest pleasure over | the result, which he regarded as hon- | orable to both nations. Until Premier Baifour spoke, the Embassador said, | be was bound to silence and hence much misinformation had pervaded the British press, which had reiterated the statement that Ruesia had given no reply to the British note. On the authority of Count Bencken-l dorff 1t can be said that never at any time did Foreign Minister hnmownel express the bellef that a pacific settle- ment was not attainable or endeavor to secure a settlement by velled men- ace. “I know, however—I could not help knowing,” said the Embassador—“that there was a British fleet at Gibraltar. If our fleet had left Vigo it probably would have been war, but now all there ' is well. There was only one danger, ! nameiy, the excitement of public opin- jon. To be precise, during the negotia- tions there were never demande upon either side but might have been given 10 the public earlier, but it was thought better to leave eyeryvthing to Mr. Bal- four to-night.” i In view of Balfour’s scathing de-l is interesting to pote in the Russian view he could be in no way held re- nunciation of Admiral Rojestvensky, it sponsible, though he has generally n-! § sumed the responsibility. The British public throughout the week has been | boats remains to be proved. | no preparations for their departure are not one of those individuals who could be described as direetly concerned in the firing upon the trawlers, being out of signal distance. ROJESTVENSKY'S REPORT. ““There never was,” to quote Count Benckendorff, “any question of apology and compensation. These were freely conceded early in the week. The oniy approach to a hitch occurred in con- nection with the question of guarantee of punishment. When those differences appeared acute the whole situation was changed by the appearance of Rojest- vensky’'s report. That was obviously made in good faith. It is possible our admiral’s subordinates made the mis- take; neither he nor they are infallible. That they made a mistake in hitting trawlers is obvious; that they were mistaken in believing they saw torpedo- But if they are not infallible, how much less 80 are the fishermen?” The greatest relief was exhibited in all diplomatic circles when the news of the settlement drrived. As has been stated in dispatches, the best informed opinion never inclined to the belief that war would ensue, in spite of the enormous naval preparations and the bellicose tendency of the press. LS BRITISH NEWSPAPERS. Journalistic Views on Settlement Are Not at All Unanimous. LONDON, Oct. 28.—The Daily Ex- press asserts that Admiral Sir Cyp- rien Bridge will be one of the Brit- ish representatives on the commission to inquire into the North Sea affair which Premire Balfour has announced and which, the Express adds, will sit at Vigo under neutral chairmanship. The Russian ships will anchor off | Vigo and Admiral Beresford has been ordered to station the channel squad- ron there during the sittings of the commission. The opinions of the press on the settlement, as stated by Balfour, are by no means unanimous. The opposition journals welcome it as a great victory for the principles of conciliation and arbitration and all express the belief that the danger of war has been avoided: but regarding the manner of arrivir; at an agree- | ment ideas greatly aiffer. The Daily Matl hails it in the bij; gest type as “Russia’'s Surrender.’ The more thoughtful papers and those devoted to the Government interests are much less pleased. The Standard declares that Balfour's statement will be received by the majority of Eng- lishmen with a sense of profound dis- appointment. “Russia,” the Standard says, “has given way a little, but we have given way more.” Other Conservative papers similhrly complain that Great Britain is now de- barred from all action, apparently without any guarantees as to what portion of the second Pacific fleet will be allowed to continue its journey and with only Russia’s promise of protec- tion against such incidents as the North Sea affair, Much criticism is bestowed upon what is regarded as the unnecessary eulogies the Premier paid to Emperor Nicholas and his Government, and the fact that Balfour ridiculed and de- claimed against the Russian admiral, whose conduct he has consented to refer to an international tribunal. The Dally Telegraph dwells with gratitude on the judicious and honor- able part which it believes M. Delcasse, the French Foreign Minister, and Em- bassador Cambon played in “this most | welcome settlement.” A PR e FAITH IN STOESSEL. Russian Government Believes Port Arthur Will Hold Out. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 29, 2:35 4. m.—Alarmist reports from foreign sources of the alleged situation of the Port Arthur garrison and of a renewal of the Japanese attack on that strong- hold have created considerable popu- lar anxiety over the fate of the fort- ress, which, it must be confessed, had almost been overlooked by the public the last few days owing to the absorb- Ing interest taken in the North Sea complications. The Government simply says it is without direct advices, though it real- izes that the situation in the fortress must be growing daily more difficult. However, it maintains the firm belief lh:t the garrison will be able to hold out. The statement that General Stoessel is scorning all mention of surrender is described to be exactly what might be expected. He is described as a man who will fight as long as there is a ficger in Port Arthur to pull a trigger. o g 2 Tension Relieved in France, PARIS, Oct. 28.—The news from London late this afternoon that the Anglo-Russian trouble had been put in the way of settlement by the adoption of the principle of reference to a com- mission of inquiry in connection with the lines laid down by The Hague conference has relieved the tension which had been felt the last few days. —_— Russian Ships Coal at Vigo.

Port Arthur is my grave,” “General Stoessel has Instilled the garrison of the beleaguered fortress with the spirit that to court a glorious death is preferable to capitulation. “The Japanesé shells are inflicting great damage to the Russian fleet in the harbor and to the fortifications. The arsenal with its contents of am- munition and small arms has been de- stroyed and preparations are being made for the last deadly struggle at close quarters. The water supply hav- ing been cut off, wells are being sunk. FProvisions are scarce. Only tinned meats being left, the soldiers hold gala feast on horses killed by shells. “Certain troops included in the gar- rison have to be closely watched at present for fear of desertion or treach- ery. “The field and naval hospitals are crowded and hygienic conditions are becoming desperate. The bombardment at times is so incessant that it is im- possible to bury the dead at any depth. | Over one-half of the original garrison is dead, wounded or sick. g “The high angle at which their ar- | tillery fire is directed by the Japanese | has practically destroyed the new town. When the fleet attempted to break through the blockade some time ago | the garrison was to have made a des- perate sortie and inflict as much dam- age as possible, and, if necessary, capitulate. The failure of the fleet to escape frustrated the plan. “The besiegers are pressing closer daily, and it is hard to say how long we can hold out. When the end comes there will be a desperate fight and a surprise. Thousands of the enemy will perish, as evervthing is mined.” This letter was intrusted to a native boatman, who ran the blockade and mailed the same at Chefu. The re- cipient is a prominent continental busi- ness man of this city, with a branch house at Port Arthur. PRSP S HAND TO HAND FIGHTING. Japanese Give Exhibition of Courage in Taking HilL GENERAL KUROKI'S HEAD- QUARTERS, Oct. 28, via Fusan.—The Japanese gave a stirring exhibition of snappy and determined fighting yes- terday when they drove the Russians from a high hill situated ten miles east of the raflway and in front of General Kurckl’s army (the right). This hill is important strategically as a post for observation. It was the only point south of the Shakhe River which the Russians had held. About a regiment of Russians were entrenching there. The Russians had five machine guns. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon the Jap- anese rushed the second trenches eccu- pled by the Russians. They shot many of the Russians as they were running down the side of the hill and captured two machine guns. The Japanese had twenty-eight killed and eighty wounded. The Russians left thirty dead on the hill. There was hand-to-hand fighting when the trenches were taken. The Russians retired across the river, and when the Japanese flag was raised on the tower surmounting the hill the Russian batteries showered shrapnel on the hill for an hour, but without result. g e BATTERIES SILENCED. Japanese Guns Play Havoc About Port Arthur. TOKIO, Oct. 28, 4:20~p. m.—It is reported that the Japanese opened a desperate general attack on the east- l'ern forts of the Keekwan group, north of Port Arthur, during the morning of October 26, and silenced the Russian batteries. A shell exploded the Rus- sian magazines. Simultaneously the Jdipanese at- tacked the forts on Rihlung Mountain and Sunghohowian Mountain, silenced the Russian batteries and stormed and occupied the forts in front of these mountains. On the night of October 26 there was a conflagration in Old Port Ar- thur and on October 27 a shell hit the Russian bAftleship Sebastopol, and two Russian steamers were sunk. Official confirmation of the above is lacking, but the reports are believed to be true, RO S WAITAOSHAN FALLS. Japanese Force the Russians Across the Shakhe River. TOKIO; Oct. 29 (8 a. m.)—A press telegram from General Kuroki's head- quarters reports that on Thursday the Japanese captured Waitaoshan after sharp fighting. The attack began at 8 o’clock in the morning and ended at 4 o'clock n the afternoon, the Russians retreating. The Japanese captured two machine guns. The Russian cas- ualties are estimated at 200 and those of the Japanese at 170. ports Vietory in Fight on Hun. JAPANESE LOSE NUMBER OF MEN —— Mortars and Rapid-Fire Guns Used in the Engagements. ——e PETERSBURG, Oct. ST. 28.—The general staff has received the following | dispatch from General Sakharoff, dated ' to-day: \ “On October 26 Russian cavalry made a reconnaissance in force in the direc- tion of* Kekeoitai. A division command- ed by Prince Tumanoff forced the en- emy from the village of Hailaosa, on | the right bank of the Hun River, op- posite the village of Kekeoitai. To as- sume a battle formation a detachment of about 1500 infantry with four guns and two squadrons, under Lieutenant Yagodin, supported on the left flank by another squadron of cavalry, attacked the enemy’s infantry, who fled to the | village of Hailaosa. We lost two sol- diers killed and three wounded. “On October 26 a reconnaissance was made on our right flank by several de- tachments of sharpshooters. After am hour and a half’'s preparation by fire from mortars and quick-firing guns the detachment advanced at 11 p. m. to- ward the villages of Tchailampu and Bezymianny. The latter was taken by assault by sharpshooters, the enemy’s force retiring. Two of our officers were wounded. “A party of Japanese fell into an ambuscade prepared by our sharp- shooters on the morning of October 26. The enemy lost two men killed and five wounded. “West of Hupalin a balloon was ob- served, which came to earth after sev- eral shots had been fird at it by our sharpshooters. “The morning of October 27 two of the enemy’s batteries bombarded a height at a temple a mile and a half south of the village of Yangsingtun, which was occupeid by us as a point of observation. Toward 4 in the afternoon the Japanese attacked the hill. Our companijes stubbornly resisted and re- tired upon their main position, but afterward our artillery forced the Jap- anese to evacuate the hill. —_— RELIEF IN RUSSIA. England’s Action Pleases Czar's Sub- jects and Diplomats. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 28 mid- night.—There was a feeling of profound relief to-night in high Government spheres and diplomatic circles, where the knowledge existed that the grave crisis in the relations between Russia and Great Britain over the North Sea incident had happily been averted by a decision to submit the issue to a commission to be created under the ar- ticles of The Hague convention. This outcome will insure a definite establishment of the facts and place the responsibility and is attributed in diplomatic circles mainly to the direct interposition of Emperor Nicholas and King Edward. The British Govern- ment, in face of an excited public opin- ion, which was demanding the most extreme measures, proposed the sub- mission of the issue to a commission under The Hague convention, while the Russian Government was preparing a similar proposal to Great Britain. Neu- tral powers, notably France and, it is believed, the United States, were using all their influence to avert a world catastrophe. Definite assurance of a settlement came this afternoon, when the Czar, at an audience with Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, announced his complete and hearty approval of the plan for an in- ternational commission. Meanwhile, orders had already been sent to Vigo to detain the ships which participated in the firing on the British trawlers until detailed arrangements for pro- cedure could be agreed upon. In the end both Governments seem to be striving for the honor of the first proposal of this method of settlement of the questions at issue. The drafting of a method of action probably will re- quire some time. The Russian public has as yet had no intimation of the solution reached. For the last forty-elght hours the people and the newspapers have been greatly aroused. Jingoism was rampant and the direct charge was repeatedly made that Great Britain was privy to a con- templated attack on the second Pacific squadron. The people, without count- ing the cost, talked lightly and even joyfully of the prospect of war with the traditional enemy, at whose door the public mind lays s0 many of Rus- sia’s difficulties. At no time was this feeling enter- tained in the higher responsible circles, where the gravity of the affair was fully realized and where it was believed that the honor of Russia de- manded the most complete and searching inquiry to establish before the world whether a blunder had been committed, and, if $o, to fix the re- sponsibility. { Many officials of the navy blindly accept Admiral Rojestvensky's state- ment that he was attacked and all de- clare that he was justified in exercis- ing the greatest cautien, in view of numerous warnings that an attack would be made on the squadron. The more conservative officers agree that it is wisest to court a full and impar- before the world, let he biame fal where I o - Service it .ma; ANY KILLED - IN COAL MINE Explosion in Colorado Seat-| ters Rocks and Timbers for | Quarter of a Mile Around!

The number reported as’ baving gone into the mine this morn- ing was seventeen miners and four company men. This afternoon many i more miners are known to have gone into the mine and the exact number of dead may never be known, as the! mine is burning and in all ertlhoodj the bodies will be cremated. A large number of mine officials left here as soon as word of the accident was re- ceived. Company doctors were picked ! up all along the line as well as all| other available physicians. Unltedf States Government Stock }nspector‘ Foreman was at Teroio when the ex-| plosion occurred. He returned to-night | | and gives the following account of the affair: 1 was standing not more than 300 yards | {from the mouth of the tunnel when the ex- | plosion occurred, The explosion was preceded | by a low, rumbling sound resembling an | earthquake, which made the earth tremble and | ! startled“the whole camp. ) | I looked toward the mine and out of the | ! mouth of the tunnel and two air shafts came a great volume of smoke and dust which con- tinued for nearly a minute. Out of the two air shafts, each of which is seven feet In diameter, timbers that were fully from two to three feet in diameter were shot into the air : and broken into splinters. Rocks were thrown | over the camp for a distance of a quarter of a mile, In fact it rained rock, broRen timbers i and all kinds of debris for-fully a minute, and | many people were injured by being struck with these missiles, Immediately after the explosion, which was | for all the world like a volcanic eruption, | there was the wildest excitement. Men, | women and children rushed to the mouth of the tunnel and women whose husbands were | in the mine had to be brought away by miners to keep them from being killed by deadly fumes from the mouth of the tunnel. | The shaft in which the accident oc- | curred works eighty men and it is be- | lieved that at least sixty men were in | ! the mine at the time. News of the explosion brought assistance from the adjacent camps and to-night hundreds of men are trying to get into the mine. | Deadly fumes overcome the rescuers frequently, but their places are im- mediately taken by others to risk their | lives. It is not thought possible that {any one in the mine can escape death | |if they are not all dead already. | It will be imposSible to secure the| | names of the dead and injured to-night. Nearly all the miners employed are . Slavs. The mine is a new one, opened ; only a year ago and extended two | thousand feet into the hill. The ex- | plosion is supposed to have been caused ! by dust. Only one body has been re- ;cnvered. that of T. Duran, a driver, who was just entering the tunnel when the explosion occurred. He was torn and burned almost beyond recognition. | All mines within a radius of two miles ' have been shut down and the miners | are on the way to assist in rescuing | | the bodies of the victims. i _— | FAREWELL TO ALEXIEFF. ! \ | Viceroy Issues Last Order to Czar’s| | ‘Warriors. | HARBIN, Oct. 28.—Viceroy Alexieff to-day issued his farewell order of the | day.
