Admiral Luce Sails Today.

NEW YORK, Dec. l3.-At $50 tonight
Rear Admiral Luce was snugly ensconced
in the spacious cabin Of the warship
Richmond, although his flag flew on the
Galena. "Orders have been received
from Washington" he said, 'for the Ga
lena and Yantic to set sail for Port an
Prince, Hayti, tomorrow. We thought
we could get the Richmond ready to &C
company the Galena, and SO my flag was
transferred to her. When we found that
was impossible the flag went back to the
Galena, and shall sail on that ship. The
difficulty about the Richmond has been TO
get her decks properly calked. She will
follow on TO Port au Prince, and if | am
still there she will take me on board. 9th
erWlse she will go OF to st. Thomas, where
we shall be waiting for her. Do | expect
to lombard Port au Prince? Why, of
course not. You surely would not have
us act so cruelty toward a weaker sister
republic. The fact is, | don't believe
there viii be any necessity for a BON.
bardment, because | feel certain that the
Haytien government will promptly re-
lease the Haytien Republic" Some news
papers have printed an alarming report
that the Galena was full of holes. Adj
miral Luce laughed as he encountered
this weather worn naval chestnut. Port
holes he chuckled. you can depend
upon itthat the Galena is quite seaworthy
or your uncle would not sail on her.
The Yant.c lay tonight at the ord
nance dock ready to sail at a moments
notice.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Orders were
issued by the navy department today for

Colorado Mine Disaster.

CANON Cry, Colo, Dec. 13.-A fright
full explosion occurred IN the Garfield
coal mine at $50 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, resulting in the instantaneous death
of two men, the probable mortal injury
of six others and the more or less serious
wounding of eight more. Its cause was
the ignition of the coal damp by a miners
lamp. Fourteen men were in the work
ings at the time Of the explosion which
occurred just below the seventy foot level
and 100 feet from the opening. A crowd
at once gathered at the mouth of the
mine, composed of men, ome and chill
dren, and in a few minutes it numbered
1000 people. The piteous wailings of the
wives of the men in the mine and the
tears of the children touched the stoutest
hearts and brave volunteers from the
ranks of the miners quickly offered them
selves to form a rescuing party. Their
efforts were successful in securing the
dead and wounded and all who were
known to be in the vicinity when the ex-
plosioh occurred.
The dead are Peter Galloway and Henry
Wallace. The latter was the foreman.
Galloway leaves a wife to whom he has
been married but one year, and Wallace
leaves a wife and five children. The
seriously wounded are: Henry Dodd,
Thomas Cunningham, John Coshain,
James Troven, John Tim, John Murphy,
Thomas Shields, jr., and James Jamison.
Ii is believed that Troven and Tim will
recover, but as to the others a greater or
less degree Of uncertainty exists, except
in the cases of Henry Dodd and James
Wallace, who will die. The coroner. with
a corps of physicians and people from
here and Coal Creek. have been and still
are unsparing in their efforts TO alleviate
the sufferings Of the wounded. The Can
field nine has been on fire since last
Thursday, and last night a party of men
was sent into the mine to endeavor to ex-
tinguish the fire and remove the debris.
The fire was under control at the time,
and the men had been at work two hours
when the gas ignited and the explosion
followed. The coroner will at nee begin
an inquest on the bodies Of the dead.
The accident will be fully investigated.
