TWELVE MINERS KILLED. Kiplfiainn In a dial Mine Near lileu wood Hprlnga, t'olo. Oh-nwood Springs, Colo., Spet. 0. A coal dust explosion in one of the chamber of the Sunrise Coal Company, the property of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, at Sunshine, 1'.' miles southeast of Glen wood Springs, killed 11 Italian and one American tonight, a few minute before fl o'clis'k. The men were prewiring to leave the mine on the day shift when the disaster oc curred. A shot had been tired, and in stead of its being a direct explosion, which in miners' parlance is called a "blowout," it created a (lame, which shot backward and caught the dust that iiad accumulated in the chain her iutscad of dishslging the seam of the coal in tended. At the time of the explosion there was a barrel of powder in the chamber, which ingited and aided the disaster which would have occurred through the coal dust exploding alone. The Sunshine mine, whcie the disaster occurred, is of u peculiar coal, a com bination of anthracite and bitumen, and there is a belief that the gather ing of coal dust in the chamls'r was duo to excessive explosion caused by a desire to empty the chamber tisi quick ly. In the property there are 50 to 55 men employed. The single chamber where the men were killed, whs the only one damaged. Two hours after the explosion occurred, the IsHlieg of the dead men were all brought to the surface. Vaiiiti Waa Deported. San Francisco, Sept. Ii.

Sept. 6.-A special to the Herald from Washington says: Japan, not content with an interference j President McKinlcy' H.iwanau an-m-xation policy, now ha destgns ma.n ,he Nicaratii cunal. According to scim-official advices just received here fr Nicaragua, the Japanese govern- ment i secretly negotiating with the diet of the Greater Kepublio of Central America, which recently met in Salva- lr for the construction of the Meant' ,.,i.. . anal, independently and in f the interest ol State or other nation. Tliis action ol Japan, taken in con- , tion with her recent attitude in re- gard to II nvaiiati annexation i of the greatist significance, show ing as it doe to the authorities that there i no limit to the ambition of the nation, and that her aggressive policy may yet get her into trouble with the United State. That the administration will resent any interference with the Nicaragua canal project us it did in the case of the llawwaiian annexation treaty goes w ithout saying. If Japan can enemnpas it, according to the Nieanu'iian advice received here, she would like toobtain the abro gation of all treaty right possessed by the United States in relation to inter oceanic transit and the forfeiture of the American canal concession from Nic aragua, ami to immediately make a treaty w ith the diet of the Greater Uo public of Central American giving her control of the route through Nicaragua. In the negotiations Costa Itica ha not been consulted, it being well known that she would not assent to ft violation of a treaty right. It has been susjiected in some quarter that England, which has always been anxious to acquire at least a joint control of the canal, might be working in collusion with Japan in the "dickering" with the diet now un derstood to be in progress, but nothing has yet come to the surface to indicate that'shu has encouraged Japan in the move. It is said that the agent ol the Nic aragua canal here has laid the fact be fore Mr. Hitchcock, president ol the canal c pany in New York, with the suggestion that the department be ap prised of the secret negotiations that are now being carried on between Japan and the diet. Seuor Zclayn, tho president of Nic aragua, it is understood, ha admitted to close personal friend that Japan is now negotiating with the diet, but in each case he advised the strictest sec recy. A private letter just received in thi city from Nicaragua says: "Among Americans in Central America the belief is general that the Greater Kepuhlic of Central America, which is represented in diplomatic atfairs by a diet composed of three memhers, one each from Nicaragua, Salvador ami Honduras, was organized principally in order that Nicaragua might absolve herself from individual responsibility as a nation, and thereby abrogate her interoceuuic transit treaty with the United States. The so-called Greater Kepuhlic, resenting the failure of the United States to recognize the Greater Kepuhlic (receiving Senor Hod riguez) and in failing to accredit a United States minister to the Greater Kepublio, is likely to make a treaty w ith Japan granting her a concession for the construction of the canal. "The United States minister here believes that when this news reaches Washington the state department will send a note to Japan asking if bIio is seeking to interfere with our treaty rights in the premises. The American's in Nicaragua believe that the United States government will insist that her interoceanic treaties with Nicaragua, Costa liica, Honduras and Colombia are yet in force, although the diet Claims that Nicaragua and Honduras are no longer separate and individual nations and are therefore irresponsible." Although state department ofllcials will not admit that any olllcial news has come to con 11 rm the private advices, there are reason for Isdieving that the authorities have been watching Japan's movement in Central America with more or less suspicion for some timt past.

A special to the WorlJ from Havana iay: The World ' correspondent went to ee Evangelina Cisneros In her prison. Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturday, are visiting days at the woman's Jail, and the ante-room on these days full of people from 13 to 4 P. M., who have oome to condole with and bear good tidings to their relatives and friends. When the World's correstiondent asked to see Mis Cieneros, he was al lowed to pass through the outsido iron gate into a small room with a stone floor, on one of the wall of which was painted in largo letters, "Salltt do Jus tica." Evangelina was sent for up stairs, and while waiting the corre Blmdent had the opjwrtunity to notice some of the other women who were re ceiving visits. One was ft well-dressed woman who had murdered her husband. Sitting next to her was a good-lookinu woman who had been caught soiling ammunition and supplies to the insur gents. She was a political prisoner. Next to her was a woman who kept a lodging-house in Havana, and had rented a room to two men whom she did not know. While their baggage was being moved into tho room tho jiolio' seized two ol their trunk and found anus and ammunition. The men escaped, but the landlady was arrested. She knew nothing of the case, but was held resmsible, and is now waiting the result of the full and long investi gation. A few minutes after the arrival of the corresKiiident Evangelina came tripping down the stairs and walked gracefully across tho end ol the court yard and out through tho gate into the reception room. She is beyond ques tion pretty. She is petite of figure and graceful in all her movements. Her manner are perfect and her self-oi-scssion wonderful. She said she could not make any statement on pajajr be cause her friends had told her not to, but she talked freely of her hopes and fears and answered questions seemingly without reserve. She did not receive her meals from the outside, she said, la-cause she was afraid of treachery, and preferred to lie content with the rations of the jail. There are eight or ton other women in this same big room. All looked clean and respectable, and all were white women. One of them was a distinguished-looking lady of about CO, with handsome gray hair. Some alleged political offense is the cause of her im print nment. Et ungelina is the most animated of all. She is the star Injardor, and re ceives more attention and hasinore vis itors than the others. She said the letters she received from Colonel Berris on the Isle of Pines, and which contain evidence of his guilty intentions to ward her, were all sent by her friends to Austria, and from there diroct to Spain to the queen regent. She says if they could be produced before a fair court his conviction would be certain. The colonel says that he wrote her but one letter, and that granted the permit to her father to travel as a peddler. She would not describe the events of the night of July 20, 181)0, further than to say that she knew Colonel Berris was coming to her house that night, because his secretary had told her so. She opened the door when he knocked. As to how he was seized, or hy whom she would not say. She escaped from the house and was caught ti'id arrested the follow ing morning and brought to Havana. She says that tho greatest favor anyone could do for her wouhl I si to secure for her an interview with General Weyler. She says: "I could convince him, if he would only hear me." In government circles nothing has been heard from Madrid in connection with transferring her to a convent. Opinions differ as to whether such a change would be of benefit. If her case is let alone for a while sho will bo released and lerhaps ordered to leave the island. EIGHT SUCCUMBED TO FEVER Fatal Expedition of Nine Prnapector to South America. Denver, Sept. fl.
