A Problem to Solve.
Manila (By Cable).?Rear Admiral
Bnqatst, who was commander of the
heavy cruiser squadron of the Russian
fleet, arrived in the bay on board fab
flagship, the protected cruiser Aurora,
accompanied by the protected cruisers
Oleg and Jemtchug. All the vessels
were more or less damaged, and there
were many wounded nun on board.
Hear Admiral Train, on board his flag?
ship, the battleship Ohio, with the Wis?
consin, Oregon. Raleigh and Cincinnati,
was outside Corregidor Island mauccu
vering when the Aurora saluted with IJ
guns, and the Ohio answered.
Admiral Train and his squadron ac?
companied the Russian vessels to Ma?
nila.
In an interview Rear Admiral F.n
il'iist's executive officer said:
"When the battle began the Admiral
was aboard the cruiser Oleg. which was
hit a number of times by large shot.
There was an incessant rain of shot
from quick-firing guns, and the ship was
soon badly damaged.
"The Admiral transferred his flag to
the Aurora, which then drew the com?
bined fire of many torpedo-boat destroy?
ers at close range, and the attack of sub?
marine.-. We were overwhelmed by the
latter. A mist arising, we made a dash
for the open sea and were followed by
the Oleg and the Jemtchug."
Rear Admiral Enquist is uninjured.
Captain Kgoriefl", of the Aurora, was
killed by a shell which struck the con?
ning tower, and he was buried at sea
the day before reaching Manila.
On the Aurora three officers were
wounded. 20 of the crew wore killed and
K> were wounded.
The losses on the Oleg wore IJ of the
crew killed .n<l 18 wounded. On the
Jemtchug the casualties were 21 junior
officers killed and one wounded. 12 of
the crew and 30 wounded.
Prom their appearance the Russian
?Is are not damaged below the wa?
ter line. Their funnels, however, are
riddled by large and small shot. Sev?
eral large shells pierced the cruisers
amidships, and a number of guns were
dismounted. All the Russian officers in?
terviewed assert thai s large number of
submarines caused confusion and de?
feat. Rear Admiral Enquisl has cabled
his arrival to the Emperor of Russia.
The battleship Ohio and the cruiser
Cincinnati are guarding the Russian
ships. No officiai action as to their dis?
position has been taken yet.
The arrival of the three cruisers at
Manila clears up the conflicting reports
about these ships since the battle of
Japan sea. Admiral Togo at first re?
ported the Jemtchug sunk; then on sub?
sequent reports from his commanders it
was dropped from the list of destroyed
ships. Admiral Shiniamura, however, in
a later report said the Japanese cruiser
Inote attacked the Jemtchug and sunk it
in a minute.
All the ship-, are first-class modern
protected cruisers.
The Aurora, the flagship of Admiral
Enquist, is a vessel of 0,630 tons, launch?
ed in iqoo. and a sifter ship of the crui?
ser Diana, interned at Saigon after the
last dash from Tort Arthur, and the
Pallada, destroyed at Port Arthur. The
Olef? is ,.f 0.075 tons, launched in IOO3.
The Jemtchug is 3.100 tons and 17.
000 indicated horsepower. The combined
crews of the three vessels numbered
about 1.500 men. The Russians have
saved seven ships out of the 36 com?

Saturday. May ->X.
Washington, I ). C. (Special).?Admi?
ral Enquisl will nol be allowed to repair
his ships at Manila. This government
has decided 1 ?at as the injuries to the
vessels were not caused either by the
sea or storm, they will be obliged to
refuse permission tor the vessels to be
repaired there. Secretary Taft cabled the
following instructions to Governor
Wright, at Manila, regarding the ships:
"Time cannot be given for the repair
of the injuries received in battle. There?
fore, the vessels cannot be repaired un?
less interned until the end of hostili?
ties."
Admiral Train has been instructed ac?
cordingly. It was stated by Secretary
Taft that if the Russian vessels agreed
to leave Manila in their present condi?
tion they were welcome to do so, but
as it did not appear that they suffered
from any dam^i<e~"'^ansed by the sea or
storm. this^^?vernnienT" was obliged to
take tlievpcr?ition above outlined.

TO START SOUTH OCTOBER 17.
Presideat Roosevelt Pot'.oses Extra Sesslss
Until Nevessber.
Washington, D. C. (Special).?It was
officially announced at the White House
that President Roosevelt would depart
on his Southern trip October 17. He
will be absent from the city about 12
days, returning about a week before the
November elections.
This will necessitate a postponement
of the proposed extra session of Con?
tres s -which will probably 1>e called to
meet Monday. November 13, immediate?
ly after the State elections have taken
place. The definite announcement set?
tles the fact that the extra session will
not be called for October, and will not
be held until the middle of the follow?
ing month.
The trip will be made over the South?
ern Railway and preliminary arrange?
ments were made by Col. A. R. An
drews, vice president of the road, and
Mr. I.. S. Brown, the gencn.l agent,
who had a conference with Secretary
Loch.
The journey will, in addition to Yir
ginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, in?
clude Louisiana. Florida and Arkansas,
which are the only States that Mr.
Roosevelt has not vsited since he became
President of the country. Details for
the trip have not been finally determined,
but it is understood that the tentative
arrangement includes stops at Richmond.
V ' . Raleigh and Charlotte. N. C. : Jack?
sonville and perhaps Tampa. Fla.: At?
lanta, Ga. ; Birmingham. Montgomery,
Tuskcgce and Mobile. Ala.; New Or?
leans, La., and Little Rock. Ark.
The stop at Richmond will be the
only important one in Virginia. The
President has been invited to visit Nor?
folk and will do so when he has had
the opportunity, hut will 1>e unable to do
so on this journey. At Roswell. Ga.. he
will visit the old homestead of his moth?
er, and at Tuskegee. Ala., he will visit
the Booker Washington Institute.
A delegation from Charlotte, N. C,
called on the President to utrc him to
spend a day there. He told his callers
that so long a slop would not be possi?
ble, but promised to extend his cordial
rectings to the people of Charlotte. The
delegation was headed by Mayor S. S.
McNich and included Daniel A. Totnp>
kins, R. M. Miller, Jr.. B. D. Heath.
George Stephens, T. S. Franklin, Heriot
Clarkson and G. C. Huntington.
BIO GUNS FOR BATTLESHIPS.
Heavy Batterie? Proposed For Soutb Carolina
and Michigan.
Washington. D. C. ?Special). ? The
(jnited States battleships South Carolina
and Michigan plans or which are now be?
ing perfected by the Bureau of Construc?
tion in Washington, will be the greatest
war vessels of the battleship type that
any nation has yet built.
Secretary Morton says their batteries
\v-y he among the most powerful afloat.
?A / t/r vessels will be heavily armored.
TUt adding of a thrrd screw, which
will call for the addition of another en?
gine, is reported to have been definitely
decided upon by the Bureau of Construc?
tion. This system, which was intio
duced into the nava by Rear-Admiral
Melville, although looked on with great
disfavor by foreign naval constructors,
has proved a great success on the Colum?
bia and Minneapolis. One of its ad?
vantages is that in cruising great econ?
omy is attained, in that when only a mod?
erate speed is required the central engine
alone is used. If a high rate of speed
is desired the two wing engines, and if
necessary all three, can be operated.
Another innovation under considera
ton is in the utilisation of u and to inch
guns as a complete battery. This has
never been tried in any navy. There is
not now a warship afloat carrying more
than four guns of cither of these cali?
bers.
NEW DOORS FOR CAPITAL
Handsome Bronze Work Is at Last
Completed.
Washington, IX C. (Special.)?The
bronze door- for the east front of the
Capitol at Washington, designed in iS.s^
I have been completed by Melzar II. Mos
man at his works in Chicopee, Ma>^.
Not until 1002 did Congress appropriate
the $40.000 necessary for the work which
has occupied two years. The doors
weigh two tons each, but they swing
easily and almost noiselessly.
There are four panels in relief in each
door. The panels of the left-hand door
represent the massacre at Wyoming, the
battle of Lexington, the presentation of
a tlag to Colonel Moultrie, of South
Carolina, and the death of General Mont?
gomery at Quebec. The historical scenes
1 depicted on the panels oi the right
hand door are the reading of the Declar?
ation of Independence, the signing of
the treaty of peace at Paris, Washing?
ton's farewell to his generals and Benja?
min Franklin in his study. The backs
of the massive doors are plain bronze.
The doors are I4?4 feet high and have
a total width of 6J? feet. They will be
placed in position this summer.
Five Men Killed Is TunneL
Montrose, Col. (Special).?At least
five men were killed and two seriously
injured by the caving in of the Gunni
son Reclamation Mine Tunnel. C. Tay?
lor and Fred Groff were pinned under
heavy timbers and terribly injured. They
would have been drowned but for the
efforts of their entombed companions,
who improvised a dam to hold back the
water which poured into the tunnel for
a time. Twenty-one men were rescued
uninjured, but exhausted.

nio-t exciting and spectacular fires

before it was subdued had completely
destroyed the Avenue aud partially
wrecked the Grand Opera House ad?
joining, but fortunately no panic re?
sulted and no lives were lost. The
will reach $150,000, fully insured. The
cause of the fire is believed to l>e trace
abtc to crossed wires.
The A\enue was probably the oldest
show-house in the city and recently has
been used for vaudeville. The building

midway between Wood and Smhhneld
streets. The Grand Opera House,which
is partially under the same roof, ex?
tends through to Diamond street. The
Avenue had been closed for several
weeks and no one was in the building
except the watchman, but in the opera
house a matinee performance was in
pi ogress when the lire broke out. The
bouse was alvuit half filled, but through
the prompt and systematic work of tin
ushers the audience was gotten out with'
out the semblance of a panic?indeed,
the majority did not know there was a
fire until they reached the -treet. Sev?
eral women fainted when they came to
realize what might have happened.
For some reason there was consider?
able delay in getting engines to the
scene, and when the firemen finally
reached it dense smoke and flames were
belching from every window on the
Fifth avenue front ami the side next
Smithfield street.
The Newell Hotel and the Antler
Hotel, opposite the Avenue, suffered con?
siderable damage from broken windows,
resulting from the great heat. Employer
of the hotels and firemen kept water con?
stantly playing on the fronts of the
building and in that way saved them
from burning. Tbe guests of the
prepared themselves for a quick exit,
but were saved this trouble by the good
work of the firemen confining tbe flames
to the one building.
The Avenue Theater building was
erected in the '50- and was valued at
$75.000. It is completely ruined. Harry
Davis was the lessee of both the Ave?
nue and the Grand Opera House. His
loss will be in the neighborhood of $70.
000. The damage to the Opera Hone.
which was caused mostly by water, will
represent probably $10.000,
