lr will pe remembered that two weeks
ago there was great coinnotion In the navy
and state departments at Washington over
mysterious dispatch fromCaptainKellogg,
of the Ossipee then In lIaytien waters. The
officials positively refused 10 talk about the
matter. All kinds of wild guesses were
afloat as TO what was the matter with Hayti,
and when Admiral Gherardi steamed OIL
for Port AN Prince In the old kearsage the
industrious press writer's could do nothing
but hint vaguely mt trouble with French
influence in the island, and they expended
their energies In recalling tho stirring his
tory of the Kearsage. A steamer has ar
rived from Hayti with news that appears
to explain the mystery. The story is that
the Clyde line steamer Ozama, owned In
Now York, had been captured by the Hay
| tian gunboat La Defense aud the corvette
Dessaines, aud held for three hours.
| Captain Kellogg, OF the u. 5. s. Ossipec, dt :
manded her immei late release. Legitimo
refused 10 let her go, except under certain
conditions. Captain Kellogg sent word To
Legitime that unless the steamer was re-
leased within five hours and 5000 indem-
nifty paid by Legitime the ossipco would
| bombard the city. Lcgitimo paid the
| money and released the Ozama. II Is sup

| partments gave news of this seizure, but ~
the release followed so promptly that ex.
| planation is not thorough.

In slavery Till Three Weeks Ago.

KANSAS CRY. Dec. PA unique
case was decided in the probate court of
Cooper county to.day. At the Commence
ment of the war Joseph Hickman, now a
wealthy and influential farmer in this
county bought a negress slave and took
her to his farm as sewing maid. Since
that time she has never been allowed to
go beyond the bounds of the farm and
alleges that she has not been permitted to
hold converse with her race and none of
the family were ever permitted to tell her
the results of the war.
When her old master died three weeks
ago she ran away to Bonneville and while
there learned that the slaves had been
emancipated. She told her story to a
lawyer. and he brought suit to recover
81 400 wages at IS a month for twenty
five years from Hickman's estate. The
court decided for the plaintiff and allowed
one-half of the amount claimed.

The Influenza Epidemic.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.-George W.
Wurts, charge d'affairs at the United
States legation of St. Petersburg, has
sent the state department an account of
the prevalence of lagrippe In Russia with
interesting comments. BE states hat
about the middle of November public at
tentlon was called to the large number Of
persons falling ill with evident symptoms
OF fever and severe pains in the head and
back and limbs. For the lack of a bet
ter name" he states. the malady has
been called influenza, but it shows signs
Of a typhoid character though not of a
malignant nature, and up to the date OF
writing, Dec. 5, 10 fatal cases had been
reported. The illness in most cases is
very light and lasts but a few days, sell
dom longer than two weeks. 1t leaves,
however, all persons who have been
touched by it in great debility and great
depression of spirits. In fact, the after
effects are rather more unpleasant than
the complaint itself.
The cause of the epidemic has not been
satisfactorily explained. Most persons
ascribe it to the abnormally warm weather
of the past month, but that would not ac-
count for Its appearance in Siberia, where
It burst out in several places, the weather
there having been as cold as usual this
season. Now hat the winter seems to
be fairly set in here 1t is expected the
maladY will disappear, but meanwhile
nearly everyone is affected. There is no
exaggeration in putting the number of
sick at fully two-thirds of the population
OF st. Petersburg. Certainly not a horse
has escaped its visitation. The emperor
was very i'll with it several days and
scarcely a member OF the imperial family
has been free from it. More than no.
600 cases have been medically authenti-
Gated but these represent a small portion
of the sufferers.
VIENNA, Dec. 24.-The frequent sequel
t. the case of influenza here is an attack
of inflammation of the lungs. A num-
Der of persons in the hospitals who have
been suffering from influenza were
stricken with inflammation of the lungs
and several OF them died. Influenza
made its appearance in the Jesuit school
at Kalksburg, pupils of which are chill
dren of conservative aristocrats. Sixty
eight scholars have been attacked.
PARIS, Dec. 24.-The epidemic reigns
aud RACES. A conference of lawyers
which was convened yesterday did not
meet because the majority OF the speakers
were i'll. Reports from Berlin were to
the effect that there is no abatement of
the evil there. In Brunswick it has as
sumed a malignant type and there have
been many deaths. At Frankfurt it is in
creasing. Tramways have ceased oper-
atoms because the employees are all i'll.
At Antwerp the disease is increasing but
it is diminishing among both the garrison
and the people at Amsterdam. 1t has
appeared at Dardrecht among the soldiers
and sailors aud in the factories. 1t is
very serious in the barracks at Brussels
and half the carribineers of the corps des
guides are i'll.

LONDON, Dec. 24.-At a meeting of
the Pelican club last night it was re-
solved to send a letter to Slavin the Aus
tralian pugilist, expressing sympathy for
him in the treatment accorded him in the
fight with Smith. In admiration for
his courage, the club decided to recog-
nize Slayin as the champion of England
and present him with a belt and purse.
Fleming, who acted as Smiths umpire
and who is a member of tho club, was
suspended from membership pending an
explanation. In an interview Fleming
said he was not acquainted with the
roughs who caused the trouble, but they
were doubtless friends whom Smith hired
to interrupt the fight in the event
OF its going against him.

CRUSHED BY EARTH.
No Hope for the Men in the
Lane Mine.
The Work of Rescue Stopped
by Falling Earth.
A Negress in Slavery Till
Three Weeks Ago.
The Mine Disaster.

SAN ANDREAs, Gala, Dec. PA dis
astrous cave occurred at 5 o'clock Mon
day evening at the Lane mine by which
sixteen. men were buried and are sup
posed to be dead. Ninteen men were
sent into the drift on the 400 foot level to
repair tImbering which became loosened.
The supports of the upper timber sud.
denly swerved and roofing, earth and
rocks fell at the same instant, burying
sixteen men underneath the debris.
Thos. Corwin and two Italians who were
working near the mouth of the drift
managed to escape, though Corwin was
badly injured.
..0Corwin stated that the partitions were
leaning badly when he went into the drift
but no q suspected danger of a cave.
When 1t came all were u~nprepared. He
and the Italians escaped as soon as they
heard the timbers crack. The others also
started to fun but were too far in the
drift.
Immediately after the accident men
were lowered down the shaft and entering
the mouth of the drift commenced dig
glng in the debris. They found their at
tempts almost useless as the timbers
seemed to nave been woven together as
though the sides of the drift had fallen
toward each other and had been covered
by the roofing. By this morning a res
cuing party had succeeded in getting eight
feet into the pile of earth and timber and
none of the victims were reached. There
is no prospect Of getting the men out
alive.
A later dispatch says: There is no
hope of rescuing the sixteen miners who
were buried by the cave in. Working
parties have found two dead bodies, but
will not be able to reach them until to.
morrow and it is feared they will not be
able to reach some of the other victims
for several weeks. 1t is believed all the
sixteen men were crushed to death by
falling rock.
This afternoon the surface of the mine
at Angel camp in which the disaster oc-
CURED, has caved down to a depth of
forty feet and the cave extends along tho
vein from the north shaft to the south
shaft at a width Of thirty feet. This
makes it necessary to stop all work of
recovering the bodies. There is little
doubt that the hoists have been drawn in
to the cave.
