ST. PAUL, Mimi. Sept. 11.-An important special
telegram from Bismarck has just been received by
The Pioneer Press. The terrible story which 1t
tells is not credited hero, though the sender of the
dispatch is leading citizen Of Bismarck and gem
orally Trustworthy. The dispatch is as follows:
"The brother of Senator Dorsey, who returned
from Keagh by the Custer trail to-day, says that
ports reached Keagh about the 9TH that General
Miles and an excursion party were surrounded by
Bannacks in the Yellowstone Park and that twenty
seven of the party were killed A lot of Cheyenne
Indians and two companies of mounted infantry
were sent from Keagh to his relief Mrs. Miles,
daughter of General sanborne, of st. Paul, and
other ladies, were with the Miles party"

s said to have occurred is in Wyoming II extends
westward from the 10th degree Of latitude, and Is
about 60 miles long and as many broad. Bismarck,

A TERRIBLE COLLIERY EXPLOSION.
ONLY NINETY MEN SAVED OUT OF THREE HUN
DRIED AND sEvENTY-ONE.


LONDON Wednesday. Sept IL, 1873.
frightful colliery explosion occurred to-
day at Abercarne, near Newport, in Mon
mouthshire. There were 81 men in the
pit ninety of whom have been rescued.
1t is feared that no others have survived, as
the pit is on fire. Ten of the men who were
taken out were much burned. The dead
body of one boy has been recovered.
The fate of the remainder may be judged from the
fact that the explorers found fourteen horses dead
only a few yards from the foot of the shaft. The
air in the mine was found to be very impure.
TIE PIT STILL BURNING.
LONDON, Thursday Sept. IL, 1873.
The loss Oflife by the colery disaster at Abercarne
is unprecedented in South Wales The number of the
dead is estimated at $50. Two of those rescued
have since died from their burns. Others are in a
precarious condition.
There is not the slightest hope Of rescuing any
more alive, as the workings are very intricate and
extend over three miles. So far only about seven
cOrpses have been recovered.
The explosion occurred soon after noon. Those
on the bank knew it by rumbling noise and the
ascent of dense volume of smoke.
All the people in the district rushed to the pit
mouth in CONSERVATION. The scenes Of distress are
indescribabe.
According to the latest, advices, the pit
is still burning, and the managers are
discussing the propriety of flooding it, as
it seems certain all the men are either
burned to death or suffOcated. The flooding will
probably be briefly delayed until the last hope that
any are alive is extinguished.

Secretary Sherman says he has not decided
to announce the resumption Of specie pay
ments in advance Of January I, 1873. the
time fixed by law. he says, however, re.
sumption may come before that time by
natural causes, or when the premium on
specie shall disappear, which point we are
now approaching. ltis the duty Of the Gov
eminent, he adds, TO employ all legitimate
means to produce such result. The coin
balance in the Treasury is about 500 00O, 900,
and steadily increasing. As there Is nc
idea the balance viii fall below the present
figure, this, with the present low premium
on gold, makes itnot unlikely that resump-
