Utah Cicapcs Oo On Their Way Un
molested.
Salt ljiko. Oct. 13. At 8 o'clock to
night James Lynch and IS'lck Haworlh,
tho two men under death sentences for
murder, who succeeded in effecting
their escape from tho state prison hen',
wero still at latin'. Powes with blood
hounds have scoured the hills north
and cost of tills city without finding
any definite trace of tho two men, and
tonight the prospect of their capture Is
not ) brliiht. Both of the escaped
convicts are well armed, and, as they
aro thoroughly desperate, it is believed
neither will bo taken alive.
Dayton, the convict killed by one of
the guards, was buried today in the
prison burial ground. When his cloth-
lint was searched, a slungshot weighing
about a pound and a half was found.
A similar weapon was found in Abe
Majors' cell.
Guards Wilcken and Jacobs, who
were wounded during the fight, are now
in the hospital. Jacobs was badly in
jured about the head, having four scalp
wounds and a cut on the chin. Wilck
en, who was shot while lighting Majors
on the prison wall, has a bullet wound
in the right leg near the hip, which
may necessitate amputation of the
limb. The wounded convicts are all
doing well, and will recover.

NOT TOO LATB YET.
War Between Russia and Japan Can be
Very Easily Prevented.
Berlin, Oct. 13. Russia and Japan
act as though either would fight if the
other should hold immovably to the
position taken at tho last exchange of
communications. This is the actual
situation ns understood officially from
reiorts received from the German em
bassy at St. Petersburg and tho German
legation at Tokio. Yet this mutual at
titude at hostile ireiarations by both
countries is still regarded hero as not
excluding an honorable arrangement.
Neither covernment has gone so far
that it must fight or bo humiliated, but
cither cabinet by a single step can put
the other in that position. This deli
cate balance may, of course, be violent
ly disturbed any day, ttiougn no ulti
matum has yet been thrown on cither
side.
It is belfevetl here officially that war,
oi.rtiiT.i I. nvnr u-nnlil lm between Rus
sia and Japan alone, and that neither
England nor France would bo involved.

BREAK AT PRISON
CONVICTS IN UTAH PENITENTIARY
MAKE DASH FOR LIBERTY.
One of Them Is Killed and Three Com
panions Wounded -Two Uuarda Injured-Two
Condemned Men Escape
Posse and Uloodhounds on Trail
Two ol Prisoners had Revolvers,
Salt Ijike, Oct. 12. As a result of a
well orgfllilroil and partly successful at
tempt at a wholesale delivery of prison
ers at the Vtah slate penitentiary to-
niuht. one prisoner was killed, one
guard was shot and wounded, another
was beaten almost into insensibility,
three prisoners wero wounded, and two
others under death sentences escaped.
None of those wounded, it is believed,
nre seriously hurt. A posso of prison
guards w ith several bloodhounds was
promptly started on the trail of the two
escaped convicts, but owing to darkness
and the wild nature ot tne country in
the vicinity of the prison, no results
are looked for tonight.
The outbreak occurred about 0:30 p.
m., just as tho prisoners wero Wing
placed in their cells for tho, night by
Guards Wilkins and Jacobs. The affair
went throuirh with such vim and pre
cision that it must have been carefully
planned beforehand.
Two of tho prisoners overpowered
Wilkins and Jacobs, tho former being
hot and sliKhtly wounded and the lat
n-r frk-htfullv beaten. The convicts
took the prison keys from the guards
and released five other prisonres, who
had already liecn locked up. Tho
seven prisoners then compelled ituani
Wilkins, notwithstanding injuries, to
march at their head and with the as
sistance of ladders found near the
workshop, proceeded to scale the. wall.
Wilkins was made to ascend first. As
the first convict reached the top Guard
Xuylor. who was on the south wall,
opened lire. This was the signal (or a
general alarm, and several guards who
were in the office quickly seized their
guns and hastened to the scene. They
arrived at the wall just as tlio prison
ers were descending on tlio outside.
Orders to halt not being oboyeiLa vol
ley was fired, killing one of them and
woundinc three others. Two of the
prisoners were armed with revolvers.

Minister Discount It.
U)iulon. Oct. 10. The Japanese
minister here. Baron llavashl. today
described tho announcement made by
the London Daily Mail's oorresiHindent
at Kobe, Japan, that Baron Do Rosen,
the Russian minister to Japan, had
presented a note to the Japanese gov
ernment contending that Japan had no
just right to Intervene in the question
of tho evacuation of Manchuria, and
characterising the pressed partition of
Corea between Russia and Japan as be
ing "fantastical and unworthy of con
sideration." Regarding tho report that the Russian
fleet had orrlved at Ma San l'ho, Baron
llavashl remarked Russia had only
about 30 warships in tho whole far east,
and it would bo a physical Impossibili
ty on account or coal and other supplies
for them to remain at Ma San l'ho. It
would bo the most unlikely place for
them to co to even if Russia contour
plated hostilities, as it Is within easy
striking distance of Japan's strong
naval base ot Tsu, in tho Straits ot
Corea. So far as Baron Hoyashl
knows, it would lie equally unreasona
bio (or tho Japanese to go to Ma San
l'ho.

"Our agents at Tokio have informed
us that Japan desires war and is pre
pared for it. We havo enough troops
in Siberia to resist all the Japanese
