Tba comtltotlon of the state does not limit tba teutons to 40 days, but does limit the total com pensttlon o( each member to $120 at 3 per day; therefore, few legislators can be expected to be so lelf-taorific-ing as to work long for nothing.

It ia declared that tbe n prising ia in reality an out break of the discontented. Those tak ing part in it com prise all classes of malcontents, and ita causes are like those which brought about th French revolution. Poverty bat been increasing, tbe burden of taxation has been growing heavier, and tha laboring olasses are ripe for revolution. At the tame time tbe ruling dynaaty it unpopular. All these complications and a number of othera have brought about a widespread feeling of nnreat, and great event are looked for in Spain nnlesa the incipient revolution is quelled. Spain hat been tending toward a rebellion for some time. HARD LABOR FOR LIFE. Sentence to the Rebel Officer Wh Captured the Yorktow Party. Washington, Feb. 18.

Details of th disaster ar meager. The Cumberland min is near th vil lage of Union, about 60 miles north of tb tows of Ntnaimo. Tb) only telegraphic communication from Un ion it by a single government wire, ; and little lt known of tb tragedy in tbe min except that a terrible explo sion occurred in No. 6 shaft of th Cumberland about 11 o'clock this morning. Following tha explosion tha sbtft caught lira, and tb 65 miners who wer working half a mil from tha entrance wer caught in fa death trap. A relief party from No. 6 shaft made a brave but futi.1 attempt at a rescue. They wer beaded off: by the fire and could sot reach the imprisoned men. The attempt at rescue was mad through No. 6 shaft, but tb flames prevented any development of the per iloua venture. Tba Cumberland mine it on of th pioperties of the Union Colliery Com pany, situated near Comox and reached trout Union bay by the private colliery railway crossing the Trent river on which th memorable bridge disaster occurred a year or two ago. It has been singularly fortunate here tofore in immunity from disaster and was counted an especially safa mine to work in by reason of the character of tha formation in which tbe coal it found there, and tbe manner in which it had been opened np. No. 6 shaft, the scene of the disaster, was bottomed in October, 1898, at a depth of 814 feet It ia well constructed and tim bered, with a mud wall, the pit bot tom being timbered with 12x18 sawn bulks, built solidly , together. 18 feet wide and 13 feet high. The shaft it located close to tb railway, and tba ventilation of the mine is effected by a 14x5-foot Gnibal fan, wbicb, when ran to ita fall capacity, gives 85,000 oubio feet of air circulation per minute. Tbe air enters by the haulage slopes and is divided into separate splits, the main split being at the point where No. 2 branches off the main slope, part of the air going down each slope. Further down each of these slopes the air is again split, and sent to tbe work ings east and west of the respective slopes. - A second explosion occurred in No. 5 shait tonight, but it had been ex pected, and all the men'bad left th workings. There wer no casualties. This explosion prevents any further efforts being made to rescue tbe en tombed miners through No. 5 shaft. Killed by a Tiger Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 18.

Neilaon was dragged from th cage more dead than alive, and wat hurried to the city hospital, where he died as he was being carried in. Tbe tiger was not fatally wounded. Neil ton had been employed by the Zoo company three years. - He was in charge of the lion's cubs, and it is sup posed opened the tiger's oage by mis take. Generals to Retire Today.
