DISASTER IN A
COAL-MINE
Explosion of Fire Damp Entombs Fifty
Four Men Eight Dead Bodies
Have Been Recovered Twenty
Seven Men Escape Nineteen are
Missing.
Beowxsville, Penn., Sept. 23. Fifty
four men were entombed 'in the Umpire
mine, of Snowden, Uould & Co., near
here, by an explosion of gas, at 8 o'clock
this morning. Two dead bodies have
been taken out, those of James Hall and
John Bennett. . Searching parties are
making frantic efforts to reach the en
tombed miners. Immediately following
the explosion of gas there was a second
explosion of fire damp. . ,
There were 140 men in the mrne at the
time of the explosion. Of these, fifty
eight in entries nine and ten. Four men
Jacobs, Davis, Walker and a Hungariany
were near the mouth of the entrance.
The others were far in. When the ex-
plosion came these four men made a rush
for the main landing,' which they suc
ceeded in reaching. They finally crawled
oat to open air. Of the fifty-eight men
In entries nine and ten, these four are
the only ones known to be alive.. They
say there is no possible chance for the
escape of the other fifty-four.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon five more
Jbodles were recovered, and it was feared i
none of those still entombed will be
taken out alive. The . names of those
taken ont are Harry Hager, John Cart
right, William Prltchard, John Haistua,
S. Hastings. .-
Later At 1 :30 p. m., twenty-seven of
the entombed miners returned to town.
They, had escajjgd by traversing a mile-and.-a-half
underground passage. An
other body, that of Robert Davis, has
been recovered, making eight dead.
Nineteen miners are still unaccounted
for. AU who escaped are injured or
burned either slightly or seriously. The
dead are unrecognizable, being burned
and mutilated. -A hastily improvised
morgue was arranged at the entrance of
the mine.
The explosion is eaid to have been
caused by the loosening of a large block
of coal, which opened a pocket of gas.
GOLD ON THE
HUMBOLDT
One Hundred Thousand Dollars Was
Brought Down.
Seattle, Sept. 23. The steamer Hum
boldt has arrived hers, ' twelve days
from Dawson City, the - majority of
whom are glad to get back to civilization.
There were only a few who had any gold
dust. David Beilenberg bad the largeet
sack. He -told Purser Twiggs that he
was bringing out $60,000 spending
money. Purser Twiggs estimates the
total amount of treasure brought down
on the steamer at $100,000.

San Francisco on the Humboldt left St.
Michaels September 9 for Rampart City
on the eteamer Arnold.
Among, the Humboldt's passengers
were A. C. Gardner, who is interested
with some Chicago people in the pro
posed construction of a railroad from
Rampart City to the coast, and Robert
Moran, of this city, who took up a fleet
of river steamers this summer.
AN ALASKA
TRAGEDY
Indian Murderer Kills Himself at the
Funeral of His Victim.
Seattle, Wash., Sept. 23. One of the
strangest Alaskan tragedies that has yet
been chronicled is the murder of an old
Alaska Indian near the British Colum
bian line, and the subsequent suicide
of the murderer at the funeral a few
days later.
Wisttawb, one of the big men of the
tribe, living near Sbakan, in Southeast
ern Alaska, shot an old Indian named
Duek, who had been blind for years.
Wisttawb was detected in his crime,
and was taken in charge by Dusk's
relatives. He. was compelled by tribal
custom to attend the funeral of hjs
victim, and did so amid the threaten
ing looks of the rest of the tribe.
The strain was too much for him, how
ever, and be killed himself before the
services were over.
GEN. SHAFTER
WILL RETURN
He Says That He Will Resume Com
mand of the Department of .: Cali
fornia. :
Sax- Fbancisco, Sept. 26. Advices
from General Shatter to friends in' this
city say that he will soon return to re
sume his station here as commander of
the department of California, relieving
General Merriam, who will probably be
assigned to his former duties as com
mander of the department of the Co
lumbia. '
Brigadier-General Miller says he may
go to Manila on one of the first trans
ports to leave with what remains to him
of the First brigade, of which the Wash
ington regiment is now considered a
part. In that case, Colonel Funston,
with the Kansas, Iowa and Tennessee
regiments, forming the Becond brigade,
will go last.
Should no general officer be assigned to
duty as commandant at the presidio,
Major G. -H. Kinsie will be General
Miller's probable successor to that title.

DRILLED AGUIHiLDO'S MEN
Their Object Was to Assist the Insurg
ents in Their Onslaught Upon the
Americans.
Sas Fbancisco, Sept. 23. The Even
ing Poet prints an article today in which
it makes known the plans of the Ger
mans in regard to the disposition of the
Philippine?.
It will be remembered that some time
ago the post published an exclusive ar
ticle regarding the seizure of the Li
drone islands by the United States. The
details of the plot on the part of this
government were furnished by a gentle'
man high in opinion of government of
ficials both.of this country and . Ger
many.
The same gentleman now states that
Germany is endeavoring to embitter the
followers of Aguinaldo against the Amer-
cans, an i she has officers in their ranks
secretly .drilling them. The gentleman
in question says this has been going on
for years, and, prior to the interference
of the United States in Philippine affairs
almost every German vessel that landed
there carried one or more officers in dis
guise, and stacks of arms and ammunl
tion for the insurgents.
The Post's informaht has just received
a letter from an authoritative source in
Hamburg giving details of Germany's
future in the islands. . The plan is as
follows : Germany will send numerous
trading vessels to the islands, and will
arm 150,000 Filipinos, besides furnishing
Krupp guns and artillery for field use,
The islanders will be thoroughly drilled
by German officers, and by February,
Aguinaldo will be prepared to make an
onslaught npon the American forces. To
aid this plot, the letter rays, Germany
is trying to induce China to purchase a
large nnmber of big war vessels, osten
sibly to strengthen her navy, but really
to be held for transfer to Germany
should complications arise. . The Ger
man agentB who have made a report to
their government say it will be impossi
ble for the United States to land more
than 50,000 men in the Philippines be
fore Aguinaldo is ready to make his
coup. The German report of the con
dition of affairs says America's only hope
is to disarm the insurgents.
The Post attributed the recent order
ing of additional troops to Manila, after
mustering out bad been ordered, as an
indication that the United States has
been informed of Germany's attempt to
frustrate American acquisition of the is
lands. ' -
REOESUTS FOR v
DISCHARGES
War Department Overrun With Appli
cations Those Received. Through
. Military Channels Will be Acted
' Upon. v , ;
Washington, Sept, 24. Assistant Adjutant-General
Ward, who is directly
in charge of the enlisted service at .the
war department, has dispatched the fol
lowing telegram to the commanding of
ficers of the military camps and depart
ments: 'The war department is overrun with
applications for discharges of enlisted
men from members of congress, govern
ors of Btates, mayors of cities, friends,
relatives and others. The acting secre
tary of war desires that you iesne gen
eral orders today to your command call
ing attention to paragraphs 762 and 765,
army regulations, and to the fact that
the war department will not entertain
applications for discharges, excepting
they reach , it through military chan
nels." .;' .
Colonel Ward has also found it neces
sary to send ' the following Instructions
by telegraph to hasten action under this
order: .
"The department is advised that com
manding officers ars holding back -applications
of enlisted men for discharges.
The acting secretary of war directs that
you instruct all company, troop, battery
and regimental commanders of your
command by telegraph, that such appli
cations must be forwarded immediately,
approved or disapproved, aa provided in
army regulations 765,. through - regular
military channels for action by the war
department. Acknowledge receipt and
report action."
It is reported that the war department
was inspired tc hasten the action of the
department commanders in these cases
by reason of the numerous inquiries re
ceived at the department of late from
prominent persons, including senators
and representatives, for information as
to its intentions regarding applications
of soldiers for discharge, which have not
yet been received. ,

BBffiSH POST ESTABLISHED
Marchand Refused to Retire Until He
Was Ordered to Do So From Paris
Th Pekinge Conspiracy.
London, Sept. 26. The Daily Tele
graph's Cairo correspondent, telegraph
ing Monday, says :
General Kitchner found the French at
Fashoda. He notifiedMajor Marchand
that he had express instructions that the
territory was British, and that the
French must retire, and offered them
passage to Cairo. Major Marchand ab
solutely declined to retire unless ordered
to do so by his government. No fight
ing occurred.
" Majir Marchand was ' given cleat ly to
understand that the British insisted
npon thfir claims, and the rest has been
left to be settled by diplomacy between
the representative governments. Gen
eral Kitchner sent a long official dispatch
to London, hoisted the union jack and
the Egyptian ensign, and left as a garri
son tho Eleventh and Thirteenth Sou
danese batallions, and the Cammeron
Highlanders, to protect the British flag.
Colonel Jackson commanded the garri
son. The Cairo correspondent of the Times
says:
It is certain that there are no Abys

Kitchner Returns to Omdurnun.
Cairo. Sept. 25. General Kitchner,

Sobat river. "
The troops did no fighting except with
a dervish steamer on the way south,
which was captured. .
A Chicago dispatch of late date says :
"The London auction sales, are looked
forward to as a factor which will have a
stimulating influence upon the present
condition of the wool trade. Many close
observers of the strength of ' foreign
markets think that there will be an ad
vance of fully five per cent, upon merino
wools. There will be about 230,000 bales
of wool offered at theee series, and if good
competition asserts itself with a reason
able advance,- all doubts regarding the
values of American wool will be re.
moved. R is reported upon gocd
authority that several hundred thou
sand pounds of foreign wool now lying
in bond at sea-board points, is soon to
be shipped to foreign ports. If a fa:r
remuneration is received by the shipper
in this venture large lines of other wool
will certainly follow. It may be the
means of opening the eyes of some large
manufacturer, to the reality of present
cheapness of American wools, and re
lease the - market from the inactivity
and sluggisbnees that has so long ex
isted. TUB LADIES.
