HOPE IS ABANDONED. Entombed Coal Miners Cannot bo Bes - - .. coed. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 29. Ex citement at the Twin shaft in Pittston, where nearly 100 miners are entombed, continues today. At tbe mouth of the shaft, besides the wives and chil dren of tbe entombed men. there are hundreds of persons, not residents of Pittston alone, - but visitors from Suranton'and Wilkesbarre. The wiyes and children ' of the entombed men stand near tbe opening of tbe death chamber urging the rescuers to greater efforts,. . ' , - Practically, nothing has been accom plished toward tbe recovery of the men. There is scarcely an old miner about the opening of the mine who does not believe tbe men are all dead. The rescuing? party which went into the-mlneatl o'clock came out at 7, The foreman reports that the timber ing i9 going on as rapidly as possible. The work is necessarily slow, owing to the danger of falling rocks loosened by the explosion. It is hardly possible that actual digging will begin before late this afternoon. If the slope is not completely choked with, debris, the 'rescuers' may ' possibly be able to reach the men within 24 hours. Other- . wise it may be two or three days. The rescuing party is 2000 feet from where the cave-in . occurred. : Gas oontinues to 'accumulate, and the roof, which was-'weakened by the explosion is in danger of falling at any moment. A survey of the interior of the mine this morning' shows that the main slope is blocked worse than he offi cials will admit. Fully 60 feet that had been cleared up yesterday after noon is blocked by another faij that occurred before 4 o'clock this morn ing. ' Anxious to Come Back. TACOMA, Wash., June 29. William Hutchinson : returned today .-from Cook's inlet, Alaska, where he spent two months. - He came down on the schooner-Norma, which left Kodlah June 16, "with 32 passengers, all she could carry, thou eh 90 wanted to come. Hutchinson says there are 1750 people on Slxtnile creek, and about at many on Resurrection creek. About 750 of them are making from $2 to $15 perl day at placer mining, but the rest, be says, are absolutely helpless and u'n able to find enough to keep them alive. As a rule, the gold consists of such light Bakes that a breeze blows them away.' Some of the prospectors, and n any of them are old - miners, would like to go to the Yukom country.

Will Not Indorse any Pres idential Candidate. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 28. While about 90 miners were at work in the Red Ash vein of the twin, shaft at Pittston, about 3 o'clock this after noon, the roof caved in, and it is be lieved all of the men perished. About 40 of the imprisoned men are English speaking miners, the others foreign. The men were at work propping up the roof when the fall occurred. The alarm was immediately given by tne ringing of fire bells, and rescuers were put to work without delay. ' More than two-thirds of the victims were married men. Among tnem were Acting Mayor Lanigan, who was inside superintendent of the mine, and Linnet, a ward councilman. A B1TTEK FEELING. Engendered In Spain by the Senatorial Debate. Madrid, June 27. As was generally expected, the senatorial debates have -placed -the government in a - very awkward position and have , allowed the liberal opposition to pander to the popular irritation against the United States by speeches bitterly accusing the conservative government, of hav ing submitted to many humiliating concessions enacted by the American government and diplomacy since the beginning of the Cuban insurrection. In vain did the minister of foreign affairs, the Duke of Tetuan, deprecate such recriminations as were calculat ed to harm the interests of Spain and her relations with America; vainly did tbe leading members and former ministers of the liberal party endeavor to restrict the ardor of their orators, the president of the senate vainly in voked the rules of the house to check Senator Comas and Jimlno. It was easy to see that the latter were in touch with many of the senators and peoplt in the galleries who murmured di.stinct approval. - 'The press is applauding the oration who cunningly elicited from Marshal Campos and Genirals Calleja, Pando and Polavieja the declaration that tbe treaties of 1795 and 1877 with America were the most serious obstacles to the pacification of Cuba, and ought, there fore, to be repudUted. The ministerial paper, La Epoca, ac cused the opposition of lack of fore sight and jingoism, both In reference to tbe demonstration against America and in the exaggerated importance significantly attributed by tbe republi cans and the liberals, to the very en thusiastic welcome the French fleet and officers .have . been given by all classes and by the local authorities in. Ferot and Corunha, and the -similar welcome given -to the Fren.cn, military bands at Barcelona, w.th the addition of public speeches and toasts in favor of an allianoe that naturally might give offense to other foreign govern ments. " ' -i The idea . of closer7,relations wi"th France and . Russia fs daily gaining ground, and is openly advocated by the press and in financial circles, es pecially as the Spanish government cannot float, outside the Paris mark et, the contemplated loan of $100,000,000. for Cuban war expenses that . its cortes is about to authorise, with' the guarantee of the Spanish tveasury and a special mortgage on the tobacco monopoly, because the present funds oanno't last, beyond September. . Raised the Lower Grades. - Oakesdale, Wash.,' June 27. A suit of more than ordinary interest to grain dealers has been decided here. MuEacbran & McLeod bought several carloads of No. 1 wheat and shipped it to Spokane. The state grain inspector graded it as No. 2 wheat, and tbe purchaser lost money 'en the deal. Heistand, - Warner A? Co, refused to make good the difference,' as, when the grain was loaded -into the cars the purchaser had a man to grade it. The defendants had hired men to empty the grain out of the sacks, and had mixed No. 1. and No. 2. wheat to gether and rasacked- ft, in -order to make the wheat grade as No. 1. The jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff. This will affect all wheat sales in the state hereafter, asit is said to be a common practice to mix the grades of wheat to improve the lower grades. - ' WILL VSK DTNAMI K. Latest Plan of the Insurgents In Cuba City of Havana to be Blown up. Havana June 29. The revolution ists have formally served notice on the people of Havana that plans have been completed and will be carried in to execution this summer to wipe out every vestige of tbe city by means of dynamite if it be necessary to go to that extreme, to drive Spain ' off the island. - . - Copies of a circular . conveying this announcement have been left at the houses of well-to-do people of this city. It Is entitled "Dynamite Circular to Cuban Families," and reads as fol lows: "The summer campaign is to be sup ported in large towns by the revolu tionists residing therein, and to this terrible means must be restored to the employment of dynamite, "The Inhabitants of Havana are full J aware that the announcement of this Is no vain threat, as the plans agreed upon for the explosions have already begun to materalize.

Favorite Old. , Sootsh Pastime People. of the It Is Vow Very Popular with Americans Who Hare the Time and Means to .Play-It Bow the Game Is . . Played. Oolf is fast becoming popular. Among society people it has got to be quite the thing: This favorite Scotch game can be traced so far bock that the exact date of its origin is lost. While its adoption in this country has been slow, It is now firmly rootel, says the Cincin nati Enquirer, and this season promises to be its greatest. In their search for something new the society folk have seized upon it, and many are learning the game. - I, - Golf is not limited to any particular class of Individuals. . Ladies and chil dren can play the game a swell as men, and in nearly ell the golf clubs which have recently been organized the wom en show as keen an interest as the men themselves. Its devotees .claim there Is no game under the nun like golf, and as a thoroughly health-giving exercise It possesses all of the necessary quali ties. . . The first regular club organized in this country was the St. Andrew's Golf club, whose grounds are now situated at Gray Oaks, a short distance above Yonkcrs, but within the corporation limits. This club was organized in 1888, end for the first few years the members played on various fields around Yosk era. This year, however, new grounds have been secured at Gray Oaks, where the game can be played on a more systematic- basis 'A form of about. SS0 acres has been secured, and the old fashjoned farmhouse has been con verted Into ft comfortable and cozy clubhouse. , The grounds,' or links, cover a space of about . two miles, and there are in this circuit nine boles. The holes are about four and one-fourth inches in di ameter, and arev placed in what are called putting greens. These putting greens are well-lovele J plots of ground from forty-five to sixty feet square, and the object is to drive the ball into the boles with the fewest ) number of strokes. The circuit; leads' ever hills, sometimes across streams, ditches, rail road tracks, as the case may be, and the skill of the player is shown in lofting his ball over these difficult places or hazards, as they are called, to a position where ha can get a good stroke to send it down to tbe next hole Each' time the- nail is "holed" it is taken out and placed on what is termod-f tbe t'teeing" ground, a short distance from the holes. The player, in start ing hisjball again in play, may, if he desires, take a little soft earth, and, making a monnd about half an inch to an inch in height, place his ball on top of this,, which is the "tee," and then. drive it as far . as be can toward the next hole. '.,.'. While in play the hall must, not be touched or. moved from the spot where it falls. Should the ball land on one of the hazards, as In the bottom of a ditoh or close to a railroad track or a 6tone wall. It may require several strokes to place it in a more favorable position. It will be seen that such a state of affairs may count seriously against a player, since it is desirable to make as few strikes as possible. - - The balls are made of gutta percha, very bard, and about one and one-half inches in diameter. They are struck with clubs, with long, slender shafts, at one end of which are projecting heads of hardwood, backed with lead or malleable iron. There are several different shapes of tbe striking ends, adapted to the varieties of play, as long drives, raising the ball in the air to clear an obstruction and others. When these various features are un derstood, together with the fact that before finishing a game the player jvalks fully two miles and sometimes more, and that, Vo, over hills and many rough places, there is no question about the exercise afforded by golf.
