THE BERLIN TREATY.


LONDON, July 2l.-The Times, in an edi.
torial on the failure Of the Porte to
make concessions agreed on to
Greece and Montenegro, says: awe
have reason to believe that the
Austrian Embassatlor at Constantine.
pie has been instructed to inform the
Porte that Austria Is determined that the
decision Of the conference with respect to
the Greek frontier, and the stipu.
lations Of the treaty Of Berlin with
respect 10 Montenegro shall be ex.
ecuted In their entirety at same
time. The ambassador will intimate
to Austria that he considers 1t indispensa.
Bile that the provisions OF the treaty be
fulfilled on both sides, and that his gov
ernment will urge upon those concerned
in the obligation OF keeping promises ex.
acted for the security OF Turkish interests.
In this policy Germany is in close accord
with Austria, but their accord tends TO
strengthen, not to weaken the European
concert. Austria aud Germany are con.
vinCed that the time has come when to
obiyate the renewarof disturbances in the
East, It becomes their duty as signatories
OF the treaty OF Berlin, to demand that all
engagements OF that instrument shall be
carried into effect.

AN INTERNATIONAL ArrAIR.
The Spanish Vessel that Fired Upon Tw,
American sehooners.

WASHINGTON, July 9l.-The State De.
partment is in receipt Of the information
that the vessel which fred upon two
American schooners, in Cuban waters
was the Caneto, small screw steamer
belonging 10 the Spanish navy. No for
NAL presentation OF the case will be made
to the Spanish government until The re-
port OF Admiral Wyman, who was yester
day ordered with Tennessee to Havana, has
been received.
Though the Spanish authorities have
thus far denied that the firing was
done by any vessel OF the Spanish navy,
Assistant Secretary Hays, Is OF the
opinion that such denial was based on
the fact that neither OF the previous re.
ports OF the affair correctly stated the
name OF the vessel. lie IL OF the opinion
now that the fact Of the firing, and the
identity OF the vessel can be fully estab.
lished, and that the Spanish authorities
will set up in justification the claims that
have always made, Of their right to fire
upon or detain suspicious vessels within
two marine leagues Of their shores. Al
our Government has always resisted this
claim, there is no reason to suppose any
departure will be made In the present
case from the usual policy. It Is believed
the whole matter will be formally discuss
ed at the Cabinet meeting Friday.

now THE MEN MET DEATH.

City, cayed in, carrying with 1t an i'm

men were buried. Seven were soon aite
taken out bruised, but not seriously, ant
the rescuers labored hard to reach the re

the river flowed in rapidly, and the stean
Gre engines were set to work to save thos'

The workmen resided in the vicinity o

HOW IT OCCURRED. "
In the shocking disaster that occurred a
hali-past this morning, twenty-five mel
lost their lives, while eight had an almost
miraculous escape. The night gang o
thirty men, including assistant Superin
tendens Woodland. and two dremen, en-
tered the shaft at midnight, the hours ol
work for this gang being irom twelve to
eight. The depth OF the shalt is sixty.five
feet, and while the most OF the men were
employed at the bottom OF the shalt about
one-third OF the gang was engaged on a
brick wall OF the arch, twenty.fyei feet high
er. Itwasth squad oiall the bricklay-
ers that escaped except two. The main
arch OF the tunnel runs out from the shalt
distance Of about thirty feet when it
opens into two distinct arches that are TO
form the tunnel. Through some negli.
gence OF the. men, 1t is! supposed, the air
lock was not properly adjusted, and when
the process OF shifting commenced the
brick wall connecting the two arches gave
way and the water rushed into the cave.
