SIXTEEN MEN BURIED ALIVE.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN ANDREAs, CAL, December pa
disastrous cave occurred at o'clock last
evening in the Lane mine, owned by
Howard & Hobart. located on the west
edge of Angels, by which sixteen men
we're buried and are now supposed to be
dead. Nineteen men were sent into the
drift on the 400-foot level to repair the
timbering which had become loosened.
They had not worked over an hour when
suddenly the support of the upper tim
bers swerved to the right, and the roof
ing, earth and rocks fell at the same in
slant. burying the unfortunate sixteen
underneath the debris.
Thomas Corwin and two Italians were
working nearer the mouth of the drift
though Corwin was badly injured about
the head. Corwin stated that the parti-
tions were leaning badly when he went
into the drift with the rest of the miners,
but no one suspected that there was
danger of a cave. When it came thew
were all unprepared. He and the Ital-
ians escaped as soon az they heard the
timbers crack. The others started to run,
but were too far in the drift to be able to
reach place of safety.
Immediately after the accident men
were lowered down the shaft, and, enter
ing the mouth of the drift, commenced
digging into the debris. They found the
attempt almost useless, as the timbers
seemed to have been woven together as
though the sides of the drift had fallen
towards each other and had been covered
by roofing. By this morning the rescu-
ing party has succeeded in getting but
eight feet into the pile Of earth and tim
bers, and none of the victims have been
reached. There is no prospect of getting
the men out alive.

British Flags at the Bottom of the
TrOmhle.

LISBON, December ga telegram
from Serpa Pinto, dated October 9Th at
Muggurumba telegraph station, on the
Shire river, has been received. 1t re-
ports that the English flag was
being hoisted at several places
on Portuguese territory, and the
natives had raised the English
flag opposite the camp of the Portuguese
railway survey, which had been removed
by Major Disz on November 9th.
The Governor of Mozambique
wired that Serpa Pinto had re-
quested the natives to lower all foreign
flags, and notified them if this request
was not complied with, the Portuguese
would haul them down with due honors.
and send them to Qnillimaine to be re-
stored to the consuls there.
SALISBURY ASKED TO WAIT WHILE.
The Portuguese Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Comes, in his reply to the note
Of Lord Salisbury relative to the move
ments of Major Pinto in Africa,
says the Major did nothing to
warrant the accusations made
against him. He did not order an attack
on the British flag, but merely repulsed
the hostile natives, among whose bag
gage after the fight three British flag,
we're found. In conclusion, Comes asks
Salisbury to await further information
concerning the affair before taking any
further action.

A Nest of Robbers.

VICTORIA, B. c., December 23.-Cap.
tain L. Angerstein, of the wrecked
steamer Idaho, complains that since he
has been in this port he has found the
most avaricious set of robbers it ever has
been his misfortune to run across. In.
stead of assisting him, he says, his ship
has been systematically robbed by all
concerned. His own private property, az
we'll az the blankets, silver work, and all
articles Of portable nature belonging to
the steamer, have been taken by people
working aboard her while she was
stranded. The Captain feels highly
indignant at this sort of treatment.

Confederate War EIaps.

So great was the demand for maps oc-
casioncd by frequent changes in the situa-
ton of the armies, that it became impos-
sible by the usual method of tracings to
supply them. I conceived the plan of
doing this work by photography, though
expert photographers pronounced it i'm
practicable, In fact impossible. To me it
was an original idea, though believe not
a new one, but not in practical use
Traced copies were prepared on common
tracing paper in very black India ink, and
from these sharp negatives by sun print
ing were obtained, and from these mega
tives copies were multiplied by exposure
to the sun in frames made for the pur-
pose. The several sections, properly toned,
were pasted together in their order, and
formed the general map, or such portions
of it as were desired; it being the policy,
as matter of prudence against capture,
to furnish no one but the commanding
general and corps commanders with the
entire map Of a given reeion.-Albert II.

a Hawaiian Election.

The election season is a time of the
greatest excitement among the natives.
Each Of the principal districts has its rep
resentatives in legislature; and when the
decisive day approaches the Kanakas come
tearing in to the polls from miles around,
with loose rein and jangling spurs and
flower garlanded horses. Professions are
formed with irnpromtu brass bands, and
a general connection prevails. ANY ma
tive may vote who has a knowledge of
reading and writing or who has never
served term in prison. The different
parties are regaled beforehand on gin or
on coffee and doughuuts, according to
their political platform; and a victory is
celebrated by a grand luau, with attend
ant ceremonies. They are a warm hearted
and childIike people, and their character
istics are an interesting study.-Bertha

Singing clearly, singing purely,
Songs of far of Elf land. surely,
And they pluck the wild wind posies,

A SelfMinling Clock.

A New Haven clock company, after =
year or two of experiment, have at last
perfected piece of mechanism which,
if il does not realize the desire for per-
pertual motion, seem at least to be a step
in that direction. They are now manu-
featuring and about to put on the market
a self-winding clock.
The motive power is furnished by
electricity generated by two Leclanche
cells, which do the work etfectually for
from twelve to eighteen months without
renewal. The mechanism is simple in
the extreme. Much of the ordinary
clock is omitted and little remains save
the escapement wheel. The clock is
wound every hour by a current from the
two cells Of the battery working through
Il pair of magnets. The main wheel,
which reyolyes once an hour, connects
the current at every revolution.
When the contract is first made and
the current passes through the magnets
the armature is pulled down to the mag
net heads, drawing with it an arm
which winds one tooth OF the ratchet
wheel, which is fastened to the box con-
tanning spring of the finest steel at
tached to the center pinion. This opera
tion is repeated for five or ten seconds at
the rate of three blows second until the
spring is wound and the current is cut
oil by the passage around of the main
wheel. .-Hay}t0rd Times.
