Sekik, April 11. The effect of Great
Britain's action at Wei Hai Wei is
already apparent here. The Chinese
thoroughly comprehend now the disin-.
teres fcedness of England and her pres
tige is now higher than ever. The
Chinese regard Great Britian's as a step
which ha3 saved the empire from dis
memberment. No definite arrange
ments have yet been made regarding
the extent of territory to be occupied in
connection with Wei Hai Wei. but
probably it will be the same district as
is occupied by Japan, 10 miles inland
and parallel with the indentations of
the coast. The opening of Woo Sung
will possibly in a slight degree effect
Shanghai, which in a few months will
be connected by railway with Woo
Sung. Numerous instances are re
ported of a growing Chinese distrust of
Russia.

Work of Jtescue.
A fact tliat lends horror to the. fear
ful tragedy is that it may never be
known with any degree of accuracy
just how many lives were sacrificed,
who they were or where they came
from. Many a poor fellow lies buried
where no human aid can reach and his
remains must rest until -the summer
rain melts the tons of snow and ice and
nnder which he lies buried. Upon the
crowded trail no record was kept of the
living mass of humanity braving hard
ships and facing death Itself for the
mad rush for gold. In the. procession
that daily passed were people from all
parts of the world, unknown to one
another. The work of rescue has con
tinued night and day ever since last
Sunday, being gradually more systetn-
stized and consequently meeting with
better results. Thus far work has been
confined to the outskirts of the slide
in the hope of rescuing those who are
injured but not "yet dead. The main
body of the avalanche, which is esti
mated to be bO feet deep and 150 yards
long, has not vet been touched. If
there are any bodies underneath they
cannot be rescued in time to -save life
Four men were taken out alive after
they had been buried for 19 hours. In
many instances the bodies of the dead
are not bruised in the slightest and ap
pear as natural as in life, indicating
that they were suffocated in the snow.
as soon as recoverea tne Domes 'are
carried to Sheep Camp, where an im
provised morgue has been constructed:
Some have been removed for interment
or for shipment to relatives in the
states. The work of rescue has been
orderly and systematic. A public meet
ing was held and committees were ap
pointed to take charge of the dead
and look after the wounded. All that
can possibly be done' to relieve the
horror of the situation has been done,
Tho accident was one that could not
have been foreseen, and it will be one
that is likely to happen at any time
when like conditions exist. Although
it is stated that some 'warning of the
impending disaster was given by the
native Indian packers, who are said to
have deserted the trail when the heavy
snow of Saturday and Sunday night
se t in. They refused to work for fear cf
slides. The work of searching for the
dead will be cont inued as long as there
is hope of recovering anyone. Though
it is feared it must be discontinued be
fore the whole truth is known.
Walter Chappey, of New York, and
John C. ifurphy, of Dixon, N. D., were

Spain in 18S6 and 1896, has farawhad

.ate reaecis f oc-hc4diDff that tiie Main
was destroyed, by one: of aw mines a
explained the impossibility of, exploA
ing the mine otherwise than throagh
the direct agency of Spanish officers ia
oharge of the Havana iniae fields : .
$"The only submarine mines supplied
the S nanish government since, loo
Were manufactured under' my patents
and I supplied them .with -58 groaad
mines. 35 buoyant mines; eacawitk;
a charge of 500 pounds of, guncottoa
audio electric contact mines, -These
latter explode either on contact; or by
.observation from the - shore, each coa"
taining "a charge of ,J00 pounds
of guncotton. In. .direct- contra
diction la tlie assertions of Seapr
Jose, secretary of the Spanish
legation at Washington, and General
Weyler, tha't there were..nb submanae
mines in Havana .harbor, I absolutely
affirm that I skipped the above miaes
for Havana ana" Ferrol on a .Spanish
ship, the property of the Spanish "gov
eminent, officered, by Spanish naval of
ficers with two' captains, at the West
India dock at London. The mines sent
to Havana would still retain, their iaU
effectiveness. They wfll last under'
water for an indefinite period.
"In4896 the Spanish government or
Sered a fresh supply of my patent
mines. Whether they went to Havana
or not is, immaterial. One of the mines
supplied in 1&86 is still fully capable of
causing the. destruction of the Maine.
Ia fact I am convinced, X rorii all the
surronndinir circumstances, that no
other agency could have caused it.
My mines are in electrical connection
with the shore, and it is quite lmpossi
ble that they could be exploded except
by desien.
'The explosion- of the mine which d-
-stroyed the Maine was the workof-one
or twomen for these reasons":
'First The vessel swinging, either
r anchored or mocred, upon the striking
circuit closer, the case would merely
drop the shutter on the keyboard .on
shore, warning the officer in charge
that it was in contact with, the mine.
"Second Before the officer in possesj
sion can fire the mine he must obtain
one of two keys. One' is generally kept
bv the commandant, the other by the
officer in charge o the firing s tation
He must then unlock tho glass door
over which the shutter lias fallen and
insert the red dangor plus in an insu
lated switch.
Third He must insert a plug in the
switch of the firing battery earth plate.
"Fourth The firing key is arranged
with a locking armature of ebonite
which must be unlocked before the
danger point is arrived at.
"Fifth The firing key hammer must
be pressed into contact with the anvi
to complete the circuitthat explodes
the detonator bv which tho mine is in
turnjBxploded. "

the hearing of Mr. Qnesada, the repre

continued his statement as ta the status

Most significant action was taken
when the hearing concluded. In order
to be in a position to act the friends of
independence and action took the pre
caution of adjourning until Monday, bo
that if necessary they could act on that
day if tho message was not to come in,
and not depend upon a call from the
chairman. This is regarded, as ex

further delay.
