.Russian Embawy at Washington and
' State Department Officials Both
I Believe the Situation to Be Extremely -
) tremely Delicate.
Washington , July 2. The position
of the administration regarding the
proposed petition from the Jews of
> the United States to the Russian gov
eminent was made very clear and pos
itive by a statement issued by the
state department. This statement wab
Inspired by newspaper publications
reflecting the attitude of the Russian
.government In the event of the presen
tation of such a petition through the
medium of the United States embassy
at St. Petersburg , which had been
brought to the attention of high ofil-
< cers. It has been given consideration
'liero and at Oyster Bay before a de
cision was reached to make any dec
laration. The statement Is ns fol
lows : "At the state department
It was stated by a high official , In the
absence of Secretary Hay , that the
-delay in forwarding the petition of
the American citizens of the Jewish
faith as to the Ill-treatment of their
co-religionists In Russia was solely
due to the delay in furnishing the ad
dress to the state department by the
petitioners. The state department
would , of course , pay no heed to any
statement purporting to emanate from
the Russian government , unless such
statement was made officially to our
own government. The government
lias been particular to act only within
the limits of propriety , but within the
limits laid down It will not hesitate
to give expression to the deep sympa
t. thy felt not only by the admlnlstra
tlon , but by all the American people
for the unfortunate Jews who have
been the victims In the late appalling
massacres. In this connection It Is
pointed out by another officer , who
disclaimed any Intent to speak In his
official capacity , that it seemed
etrange that the Russian govornmen
should choose this method of making
a statement to the American people
when , by methods which are certainly
the reverse of friendly to the Unltei
States , It has tried to make China
break the faith with the plight to the
powers to keep open door In China
end has endeavored to bar our peopl
from access to Manchurlan trade. "
The above statement was shown to
Count Casslni , the Russian ambassa
dor , but ho decline to make any com
aent on it. A rep'ly to this , statemen
must bo made under direct Instruc
tlons from St. Petersburg. It is be
lleved at the state department and th
Russian embassy that the situation 1
xtremely delicate.

RE3CUERS ENTLfl DEATH LEVEL
Interior of Mine Said to Be a Mass
of Flamoi Corrected Lints Show
That 1C7 Men Lost Their Lives In
the Hannn Disaster.
Hanno , Wyo. , July 2. The startling
Information was received from un ex
perienced minor aud flru fighter , who
penetrated the mine to the sixteenth
level , that the workings below the
seventeenth level was a mass of
flames , and where a few hours ago It
was belle\etl the rescuers would
reach the bodies of the entombed miners
[
ers rioon , It nbw appears the flames
will add horror to the already torrlblo
calamity , and that the victims will Do
burned. The efforts of those 'forking
below the BurfnctJ arc now confined
to the work of walling up the entries
and slope and putting up fire proof
barriers which will prevent tlio
flames from reaching the seventeenth
and other levels above. This is taken
as an indication that the rescuers
realize the frultlcssnoss of further at
tempts to reach the entombed minors
below the seventeenth level.
Added to the horrors of the fire ,
which will doubtless destroy the un
derground workings , Is the danger ot
another explosion , which may occur
at any time. The situation Is decid
edly grave and the citizens are becom
ing alarmed for the safety of those
who are working below the surface
and also those engaged In hauling
away the debris from the mouth of
the slope. If the entries In which
the fire Is burning can bo success
fully walled and the fire confined to a
few entries , there will bo little to fear ,
but there Is great danger of the
flames breaking through Into the en
tries frpm which the rescuers are
moving rock and debris In an offoit
to reach the two score or more bodies
known to be In No. 17 entry. Here
the gas has accumulated in such largo
quahtttie's that the Tesciiers ? tm riol
remain long at a time and this gas ,
' '
o'nce'Tt IB Ignited , will cause n second
catastrop'hc. AddiTlonat fire fighters
and volunteers are arriving on every.
train. * rcr. . ' * . ' .jj >
Pf the 107 known dead , fully two-
thirds wore married and leave largo
families.
Arrangements have been perfected
for cat Ing for the dead tlodles as fast
as they are removed from the Ill-fated
mine. The shaft house , or carpenter
shop , at No. 1 mine has been trans
formed Into a temporary morgue and
here the bodies will be washed , em
balmed and dressed In now clothing ,
and later will bo removed to the Fin
nish tojpperance hall , where the
corpses will bo laid out In rows on
the floor for Identification. The coal
company will defray the funeral ex
penses in most cases.
Explosion Caused by Black Damp.
It has been decided that the explo
sion was caused by black dump ,
which gathered In a small alley off
the seventeenth level , where the cir
culation became defective from some
unknown cause. A miner went In with
his lamp , not knowing about the ex
istence of the deadly gas , and Ignltcil
the explosive. Probably no trace of
the unlucky miner will ever bo found ,
for ho was surely blown to atoms.
William Christian , colored , is the
lioro of the calamity. Ho was uncon
scious when brought to the surface ,
but could have made his way out him
self had ho not remained behind to
assist his more unfortunate compan
ions. Ho was breaking down coal In
a small chamber off the entry when
the explosion occurred. Ho was
knocked down by the concussion , but
was only dazed. The mine was filled
with a sheet of flame for a minute.
He ran to the slope and saw scores
of miners lying on the floor , many
writhing In the agony of the death
struggle , while others had been killed
outright. Christian rushed down the
slope toward the rear shaft , but soon
the gas burned out and the mlno was
In Inky darkness. Ho groped about ,
falling over the prostrate forms scat
tered along the slope. Some of these
raised up as ho passed. They were
able to talk and the plucky miner
urged them to follow him. A few did
this and ho carried several to places
of safety , from which they were later
removed to the surface by the relief
party.
In some instances the entire male
membership of families Is among the
victims of the disaster. James Wilds ,
father , and Jubo Wilds and James
Wilds , Jr. , sons , were working to
gether near the seventeenth level.
Oscar and Jacob Jacobson , brothers ,
and the solo support of a widow and
two little sisters , were killed below
the twenty-first lovol.
