ENCIRCLED BY FIRE
Two. Towns in Pennsylvania
Become-Furnaces.
MANY PERSONS ARE DEAD

Flames, Which Wlad Fans Whole
Population of Simpson Flees,
Losing All Belongings.
BRADFORD, Pa., April SO. The tvorst
forest flres In the history o this section
of Pennsylvania are In progress tonight,
and property -worth $1,000,000 has been de
stroyed. The forests have been ablaze
for the past -week, but the fires were kept
under control by large gangs of men until
about 10 o'clock this morning, when a stiff
southeast gale sprang up and fanned the
smoldering embers Into a roaring mass of
flames.
WatsonvlUe, ten miles south of this
city, is reported as having been destroyed,
and it Is feared that a number of lives
have been lost. The last word from there
was about 2 o'clock. At that time the
lire was on all sides of the place and the
people were fearful of being burned to
death, as there was no avenue of escape.
That was the last heard from that quar
ter. At Simpson, where the forest Is thick
and a large number of oil wells are locat
ed, the fire was very fierce. On both
sides of the railroad the woods were a
mass of flames, which swept over an area
of two miles, taking everything in their
path. The people of the town were res
cued by a special train and brought to
this city. They lost all their belongings,
and the latest advices from there state
that the town is destroyed, and It is
feared some persons have perished In the
flames.
TOWN HAS ESCAPED.
But Destruction, in Bradford Oil
Region Is Great.
BRADFORD, Pa., April 30. Later ad
vices from WatsonvlUe, the town supposed
to have been wiped out by flames today,
indicate that It escaped. The property
loss in the vicinity Is large, however.
Mount Jewett also escaped with small
loss, but In tho vicinity of Simpson and
Bingham the destruction of oil property
was complete over a wide area. It Is
estimated that at least 1000 oil-well rigs
In McKean County were destrcyed today.
Tonight rain began to fall and the flres
are dying out.
EASTERN WOODS BURNED.
Hundreds of Acres Destroyed in Mas
sachusetts. GARDNER, Mass., April SO. A forest
fire which broke out In Baldwlnvllle last
Tuesday burned over more than 600 acres
of upland In Baldwlnvllle and Templeton,
and spread toward the village of Temple
ton. A large force of farmers Is fighting
the flames, and the Templeton Fire De
partment has been called upon to assist
them.
At last reports tho fire was still uncon
quered and had destroyed an area of
standing timber. The Baldwlnvllle Fire
Department has joined the Templeton
department, and altogether 75 men with
apparatus are fighting the blaze.
Miles of Fire in New York.
ALBANY, N. Y.. April 30. It is said at
the office of the Forest, Fish and Game
Commission that for Co miles between
White Lake and Saranac Inn, on tho line
of the Adirondack Railroad, the leaves
and underbrush In the Adirondack woods
are burning. The fire has thus far been
kept In check. Chief Fire Warden Em
mons has telegraphed to the commission
of Fulton that the fires there were under
control.
HOW TO SECURE THE TRADE
American Consul in Orient Outlines
Policy in Manchuria.
WASHINGTON, April SO. How the com
mercial interests of the United States In
Manchuria may be safeguarded against
further International complications, and
our trade in that country maintained, is
told in a report received today at the
State Department from United States
Consul Miller, at Niu Chwang. He says
that Russia in the end will practically
dominate the commercial and Industrial
affairs of Manchuria, unless other coun
tries have In every way equal faculties,
American trade in Manchuria today con
sists principally of cotton goods, kerosene
and flour, and is largely in excess of that
of any other country. It is estimated that
our exports to Manchuria will equal 8,000,
COO taels, or 36 per cent of all foreign ex
ports. In order that this commercial su
premacy may be maintained. Consul Mil
ler has made tho following recommenda
tlons to the department:
First Establishment by American man
ufacturers of an expert agent in Man
churla, who shall sell directly to the na
tive firms, instead of to Shanghai and
Hong Kong.
Second That the Washington Govern
ment urge tho opening of all Manchuria
to the trade of the world, "as free to us
as to Russia or any other country.
Third That a new Consulate-General be
added to the American Consular service.
Its head to be known as the United States
Consul-General for Manchuria.
"If these things are not done." Mr. Mil
ler continued, "it Is very clear to my
mind that the entire mining interests of
Manchuria, together with whatever trade
is desired by Russian merchants, will be
entirely in their hands."
HAS TOLD TWO STORIES.
KHSslas. Minister at Pekln Admitted
Demands Were Blade.
PEKESr, May 1. The denial from St.
Petersburg of the authenticity of the
Russian demands on China previous to
the evacuation of Manchuria has created
comment among the members of the in
tercsted Legations. The day the denial
was issued, M. Plancon, the Russian
Charge d'Affalres, admitted to his col
leagues that their Information on the
subject was correct. Prince Chlng, the
grand secretary, purposes urgently to re
quest Russia to proceed with the restora
tion of the government of Manchuria to
China, according to agreement.
AMERICANS ARE ATTACKED.

China anl Need Help.
SHANGHAI, April SO. The Chinese-
American Development Company at Can
ton reports that a party of five Ameri
cans and five Japanese have been at
tacked at Yuenton. 60 miles from Canton,
on tne iortn tiver. Tne men took
took refuge in a temple where they bar
xlcaded themselves. The Chinese author!
ties are dispatching troops to the scene
of trouble.
CHINESE ATTACK AMERICANS.
Engineers Enrage Them hy Stirring
tip Their SBperstltlon.
WASHINGTON. April 30. The State
Department has received a cablegram
from united States Consul-General Mc
Wade, at Canton, dated yesterday, stat
ing that a mob of anti-foreigner Chinese
made an attack at Yuan-Tal, on North
River, 140 miles from Canton, upon a
sorty of American engineers.' The Consul
appealed to Lieutenant Anderson . com
manding the American gunboat Callao,
and the officer went Immediately -to the
rescue. The Consul-General then lodged
a formal complaint with the Chinese of
ficials. Tho attack is not believed to be associ
ated with the Boxer movement. It is con-
'Jectured that the engineers in the course
of railroad construction or similar work
had run counter to some intense Chinese
superstition by invading a graveyard; or
somo way committing a sacrilege in the
Chinese view.
KOT CASE FOR. ARBITRATION.
British Differences With Rassla
Can't Go to The Hagme.
LONDON, April SO. Lord Cranborne, th
"Under Foreign Secretary, replying to a
number of questions of the House of Com
mons today, said that negotiations on the
subject of Manchuria were still proceeding
between the powers concerned. His ma
jesty's government, however, had received
from a trustworthy source confirmation
of the statement that Russia thad an
nounced that 6he had no knowledge of the
reported convention and that she dis
claimed any intention of seeking exclusive
privileges or departing from her previous
assurances regarding Manchuria.
Answering suggestions that the Govern
ment should propose that Russia refer the
Manchurian, Persian and similar differ
ences to The Hague tribunal, Premier Bal
four said that while desirous f using to
the utmost the advantages offered by The
Hague tribunal, the government did not
think that the questions pending between
Great Britain and Russia could be sub
mitted thereto.
Casslni Confers With Hay.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-Count Cas
sini, the Russian Ambassador, called at
the State Department today and had a
long interview with Secretary Hay, in-
whlch the whole Manchurian matter is
understood to have been fully and frankly
discussed. The discussion throughout
was of the most amicable and satisfac
tory character. The Japanese Minister
Mr. Takahlra. called later, and he also
discussed Manchuria.
BAER DEFENDS READING.
Denies Coal Trust Restricts OutpHt
Only Fair Interest Earned.
NEW YORK, April SO. President Baer,
of tho Philadelphia & Reading Company
and the Temple Iron Company, resumed
testifying today before the Interstate
Commerce Commission at the hearing on
the complaint of William R. Hearst that
the coal roads are charging excessive
freight rates for carrying anthracite coal
from the mines In Pennsylvania to tide
water, and are a combination In restraint
of trade. He said the coal roads and coal
companies developed an agreement for
mining and distributing coal In Summer
from all mines on a percentage basis. The
owners of mines were willing to restrict
the output, so the coal roads agreed to
carry all coal in Summer as soon as mined.
but in no case when It was found the
market would take more were the cars re
fused. Mr. Baer said there had never been any
meeting or agreement to make uniform
freight rates for anthracite on the coal
roads. Railroad charges, he said, should
be such as to enable the roads to earn
profits representing a percentage equal
to the prevailing rate of Interest. It
was a matter of greatest satisfaction to
him that he had never been a party to
over-capitalization. In a case of over
capitalization the "water" should be de
ducted in calculating the proper earnings
and freight charges to produce them.
He then described to the commission the
stock issues of the Reading and their mar
ket value In recent years. He said the
capitalization Is fair and honest; that the
stockholders are entitled to a fair return
on their Investment; that the Reading
could not reduce Its hard coal rate and
hope to earn that return. It was the
hope of his administration, he said, to en
able the Reading Company within a year
or two to pay 4 per cent on its first and
second preferred stock.
TYNER HAS COLLAPSED.
Strain Following on Ills Dismissal
Makes Illness Critical.
WASHINGTON, April 30. Judge James
J. Tyner, recently dismissed from the
Government service while holding the po
sltlon of Assistant Attorney-General for
the Postofflce Department, is critically 111,
His health has been very poor since last
July, when he suffered a stroke of paraly
sis. The strain on his system which pre
ceded and followed his dismissal has been
too much for him, and he Is almost com
pletely prostrated.
MEDALS FOR SOLDIERS.
All Regulars Who Served in Recent
Wars Will Wear Them.
WASHINGTON, April 30. The War De
partment has decided to Issue service med
als to all officers and men of the regular
Army who participated in the Spanish
War, the Philippine insurrection or the
Chinese campaign. About 25,000 medals
will be required.
George Lorlllard Goes to Havana,
WASHINGTON, April 30.-George L.

all the towing in tho Hudson River, tied
up six boats tonight as a result of the.
demands of the marine engineers for
more pay and shorter hours. The Cornell

HOLLLDAYSBURG, Pa., April 30. The
extensive plant of - the Crescent Powder
Company at Ganlsiock, about ten miles
south'4 of here, .was wrecked by four ex
plosions this morning. Of Ih'e 30 employes
nine were killed outright and all the
others were badly Injured Jay being blown-;
about the buildings in which they were
employed.

JOHN PATROVINSKI.
The ages of the dead ranged from 20 to
25 years. Seven of them were Americans
and two were Italians. The list of Injured
Includes Adam Taggart, of Pittsburg, su
perintendent of the company.
The first explosion occurred among the
material in the mixing-house, blowing that
building to atoms and also destroying the
two pulplng-houses and the office. Fire
arose In the other buildings to complete
the chapter of horrors. The bodies of the
dead are unrecognizable and the country
around about Is strewn with the remains
of what were once human forms. The fire
at the deserted plant continued through
out the day and no. person ventured near
the doomed structures, fearing accidental
explosions.
There were 2210 boxes of dynamite
stored In the buildings and greater calam
ities are predicted should another explo
slon occur. Terror-stricken farmers and
limestone ouarrymen have flocked into
the town of Williamsburg for refuge.
The plant was valued at 3o,000.
DIGGING OUT DEAD.
(Continued from First Page.)
grew in intensity, none dared to venture
close to its base, and, in consequence,
little was done toward recovering bodies
until the atmosphere cleared late this af
ternoon. As the roar from the mountain
continued, many feared that another
slide might wipe out tho rest of the town.
The cause of the disaster is believed to
have been definitely settled as a landslide.
Mr. Pearce walked across the scene of
destruction this morning. He is a geol
oglst of good standing in the West, and
his opinion Is, therefore, the first of an
expert character obtained. Mr. Pearce
expressed without reserve the opinion
that the calamity was the result of
mountain slide, but declined to venture
an opinion as to the cause of it He
ridiculed the idea of a volcanic eruption,
limestone upheaval or an explosion of
any kind. It Is now the general opinion
of those qualified to pass upon what oc
curred that the vertical walls of the coal j
seam squeezed sufficiently to give under
the tremendous weight above, and that
tho side of the mountain simply slid away.
This seems to be tho proper solution, as
there is not, apparently, any Indication
of a seismic disturbance.
Story of Entombed Miners.
Daniel M. McKenzle, one of the sur
vivors, gives a thrilling account of the
experience of himself and companions,
who were imprisoned more than 12 hours
in the mine, and who eventually escaped
by digging their way to freedom. Mr.
McKenzle Is an educated man and a thor
oughly experienced coal miner.
"Three- other miners and myself were
working in a cross-cut off from 2Jo. 8
manway when we were first aware that
something unusual had happened," said
Mr. McKenzle. "I was leaning against a
chute just at ihe moment. Sud
denly there seemed to be a falling in of
the hanging wall, and I was imprisoned
between a chute board and the coal. The
coal fell from the roof in large quantities,
and I was badly squeezed. My compan
ions helped me out, and, believing some
thing had happened, but not .knowing
what It was, we started to make our way
to the main entry. Reaching the entry,
we started for the mouth of the tunnel.
On the way we encountered the other
men on shift at the time. They were run
ning toward the mouth of tho entry. On
reaching that point, we found our way
blocked, as the entry was completely cov
ered over, we turned to retrace our
steps. The coal was falling from the
roof, and progress was difficult.
"We waited for an hour, debating what
should be done, and finally came to the
conclusion that we ought to try to get
out by way of No'. 8 manway, which
would lead us to an air course, which we
hoped would reach the surface. I found,
however, that gas was accumulating
when wo reached the manway, and knew
escape by that route was impossible. We,
therefore, returned and attempted the
lower entry. That we found to be rapidly
filling with water, sticking mylcnife Into
one of the timbers to enable me to Judge
as to the rapidity of the rise.' We went
back to the main entry. Some of the men
were greatly excited and talked in the Ir
rational way men will in such cases, but
others with myself calmed them by telling
them there was no danger. It was an oc
casion when a lie was Justifiable, for had
they been allowed to realize the danger
they were Id there is no telling what
might have occurred. After a time
went down to the lower entry again to
see how the water was rising. I found it
quite alarming, and figured that at the
rate it was coming up we. might expect
it to flood the mine today at about
o'clock P. M.
Dug Their Way Out.
"As we bad nothing to eat but the Ave
horses being worked In the mine, which
were still alive, I proposed killing one of
them when wershould need food, and that
in the meantime we should endeavor to
dig our way out. We selected a place at
the mouth. of the main entry and started
to work. We timbered as best we could,
We had worked, changing hands, for
some more than five hours, when I went
in personally to do my turn. I was punch
ing with a bar, when suddenly it went
through and a breath of air greeted me.
I gave a few more punches, and a rock
big enough to kill us all fell in. I ducked
back, to save myself, and, looking up, saw
we had, reached the surface. I called
back to the others, and they literally went
mad with delight. Wo were not long In
getting on the outside."
When the miners came from tlfe tun
nel scores of men were at work endeav
oring to rescue them from the tunnel.
They were trying to "open up the entry.
As the men who had rescued themselves
stood on the rocks above and waved their
hats, the workmen at the mouth of the
tunnel dropped their tools and rushed up
to assist them down. They were speedily
conveyed across the river on a, raft to
safety. "
The escape of the miners was little short
of miraculous. If they, had bees entombed
a mUe dtet&Hce eler y ro the place
where they were, they would not have
succeeded la escaping. "WMle. those endeavoring-
to work' toward them at the
moutlKof fee funnel tnust have been days
in penetrating to them, they could scarce
ly have escaped death, between -,the ris
ing water, the gas and the rapidly dimin
ishing supply of air.
Family's Marveleas Escape.
Little less than extraordinary was the
escape of the" family of Samuel Ennln,
who occupied one t)f the houses destroyed.
The home of Mr. Ennls was the second
to be struck. Mr. and Mrs. Ennls, their
four children" and James Warrington were
all in bed in the house. The building
was destroyed and barely a trace of it
could be found the next morning, yet
every one of the occupants escaped with
their lives, and, although Warrington was
terribly injured, all will live. Mr. Ennls
remembers very little with regard to what
happened, but Mrs. Ennls has a vivid
recollection.
"I chanced to be awake," said she,
"when I heard a strange rumbling sound
which seemed to come from the moun
tain. I shook my husband and asked him
what it was. He replied that it was the
wind, and went back to sleep. I heard a
still louder sound, which frightened me.
and once more I asked my husband, but
he said It was a storm. Then I felt some
thing strike the house, and remember
nothing more until I was carried out of
the ruins of our home."
All of the Ennls family were Injured,
but no one In the house suffered serious
ly except Warrington, who will In all
probability be a cripple the rest of his
life.
Felt Thirty Miles Avray.
Trains from both east and west have
brought thousands of people who came
to view the scene of disaster. All were
unutterably astonished that ruin so great
could be caused by merely a mountain
slide. Alonzo Gebhardt, a rancher living
SO miles away, states that ho distinctly
felt the Bhock caused by the slide.
"I felt my house tremble and then
shake violently. I thought it must have
been caused by an earthquake. Looking
at the clock, I saw It was a little after 4
o'clock. I therefore think the disturbance
must nave teen caused uy tne suae."
Tho Canadian Pacific is already repair
ing the damage done to Its road by the
slide. Superintendent Taylor Is on the
ground directing the work of repairing
the telegraph line to the east and the
building of a wagon road to carry the
mall until rail connection can be restored.
Mr. Taylor states that a temporary line
will be built and later the permanent
line will be built. Chief Engineer Mc-
Henry Is now on his way here to direct
the survey and work will start In a few
days. It will require the services of 2000
men, according to estimate, to rebuild the
permanent line Inside of three or four
months.
The mountain Is quiet tonight and the
police have the situation in hand. It Is
thought that numerous minor disturb
ances which marked last night and today
will scarcely be repeated, as the Cana
dian fashion of enforcing order in this
section is notoriously good.
WILL END SOMALI "WAR.
Britain Decides Not to Hunt
Mad
Mullah to Death.
LONDON, April 30. In the House of
Commons tonight War Secretary Brod
rlck. announced tho vlrtuAl -abandonment
of the Somali campaign. ' In a discussion
of the army estimates members of tho
opposition attacked the government for
muddling the Somali affair and doing un
necessary police work for Italy.
Ix) rd Cranbourne, under Foreign Secre
tary, having defended the government's
course, Mr. Brodrlck arose and declared
that tho Somali operations were Inevit
able, because of Great Britain's treaty
obligations. He denied that the govern
ment was pulling chestnuts out of the fire
for Italy, and explained that Captain
Plunkett had been carried too far by his
eagerness to attack. His advance, he
said, was undertaken on his own re
sponsibility, and was no part of General
Manning's scheme. "We are under no
treaty engagements with Italy to hold
Mudug-. ' continued Mr. Brodrlck.
"With regard to tho future, there Is no
intention to hold or to administer the
country we are now in. Our policy Is to
keep the coast lino and maintain the at
tachment of the tribes to whom we are
bound by treaty. We shall do everything
possible to break the Mad Mullah's power,
but wo shall not send a large force to
pursue him, as we have already dealt him
a heavy blow by tne capture of hl3 cat
tle the principal source of wealth."
George Iioyd (Welsh Nationalist) said
it was a relief to hear that the expedition
had been abandoned.
If the Mullah Is mad," said the mem
ber. "I would like to know what the War
Office is at."
Mr. Brodrlck objected to the. use of the
term "abandoned. "What I said," he
explained, "was, that having attained our
object in driving the Mullah from Mudug.
we do not purpose to operate further in
that direction."
"WILL try a new gexeral
Manning Discredited by Letting Mad
Mullah Beat Him.
ADEN, Arabia, April 30. In consequence
of the recent -British reverses In Somali
land, It Is reported here that the advance
of the British expedition has been sus
pended indefinitely. Major-General Eger
ton Is mentioned as the successor of Brigadier-General
Manning. Information here
indicates that the complete reorganization
of the executive heads of the expedition
would be considered advantageous. It Is
feared that the recent victory will embold
en the forces of the Mad Mullah to attack
Isolated posts.
The force at the dlspcsal of General
Manning is insufficient . for offensive pur
poses, and It is expected that he will
strengthen his posts and remain inactive
until after the hot weather.

Governor Tfash" Urges Union Men to

COLUMBUS, O., April 30. Governor
Nash today urged the members of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers to Join the militia. The
Governor, after referring to the impres
sion prevailing that the military and or
ganized labor are antagonistic, said:
"I want you to study this matter care
fully, gentlemen, and see If you' do not
believe that uur duty Is the same as the
duty of other citizens of the country. I
know you are as anxious to enforce the
laws of the state -as I am."
