London, June 8.?A British transAtlantic steamer came slowly to her mooring in a British port this morning with the most interesting complement of passengers she ever carried during her years plying between ! American and English ports. The passengers Consisted of the; staff of the first division of the American army that will cooperate with the British and French arimis on I Trench soil'in the world war; Gen. John J Persliing and his personal staff and the officers of the general; \v staff, a clerical force of the same number, a score of British officers! from Canada, and a large party of j adventurous civilians, including sev-j eral women. . No Enemy Craft Sighted. The ship arrived in an English harbor late last night, having crossed i without encountering any mishap or; sighting a hostile craft. When the! _ _ ? ? J V* I n ! passengers came uu ue<-i\ uu mc ioolj morning of the voyage they found; torpedo boat destroyers escorting them on either side. When with; difficulty they discovered through the | marine glasses the colors which the; escort flew?that the ships were I American?there was great enthus-j iasm aboard, which increased when a patrol with -the same familiar flag at the stern joined the little squadron later. The .coming of the American soldiers had been kept secret outside the official circles and there was no * crowding aboard at the pier. There] was a large group of British artillery | officers at the landing stage, with their scarlet cap bands and gold trimmings, which denoted that the wearers belonged to the staff, the lord; mayor with his gilt chains, officers; and the officials of the port, to give ^ welcome to the Americans. \ ".>iar >]>an?iieu isamicr. Whenx the British general escort-! \d Gen. Pershing and his personal! staff to the deck, tlie hand played! "The Star Spangled Banner." and all j the military men in sight stood at at-j tention. while civilians uncovered. | Gen Pershing inspected the guard i of honor, and walking along lines of soldiers, talked to several of the privates who displayed gilt strings; on their sleeves, signifying wounds5 received in action. Then the hand played the British anthem, the English soldiers marched smartly away its Ik i TELj iben 5AMBERG, Pre No Hc j>e For Miners. Butte, Mont., June 9.?All hopes that any of the unaccounted for miners, believed to number .more tliamj 175, had escaped from the North; Butte mines, in which fire broke out I last night, were abandoned tonight when the helmet men penetrated to the 200-foot level of the Spectacular mine from adjoining mines, waded through water up to arm pits, encountered strong gas and saw many bodies which they were unable to recover. Forty dead had been t%ken out up to tonight. It is believed the mine damage will exceed $1,000,000. The Granite mountain shaft, 3,400 feet deep, was a roaring chimney tonight. fir-o u-hiVl-, ctarteH on the 2. 111*7 ill ^ n ttivii wvv.. ^? . 400-foot level spread quickly, cutting off the escape of men on lower levels. Warning of their danger came soon enough to permit men on the level to escape. They immediately formed rescue parties and attempted to go; down the shaft to the'men believed entombed, but failed. One hour after the outbreak of the' fire, L. D. Frink, superintendent; M.j D. Conners. foreman; X. D. Brawley,i general manager of the granite shaft, 1 owned by the North Butte company,; declared they could account for 218 j out of 415 who were in the shaft; when the fire started. i and the Americans returned to the! ship. Later Gen Pershing received the newspaper men. Before leaving the steamer Gen. j Pershing and the other officers bade farewell to the captain, for whose; skillful management of the vessel on j the trying and dangerous toyage they expressed great admiration. On to London. A special train carried contingents of the American forces to London.
