LEFT TO THEIR FATE.
WORK AND HOPE ABANDONED IN
THE DUNBAR MINES.
The Rescuers Satisfied That the Men Are
Dead-Fire and Black Damp Make
Further Search Impossible.

DUNBAR, Pa, July Fifteen and a
gas set fire to the Hill Farm mine.
Hope and work were abandoned this ev-
ening at 6 O'Clock, and the dust or ashes
OF the thirty-one imprisoned men may
rest beneath the Dunbar hill till the
last day shall come. This is be-
cause the men could work no
more. After being driven from
the mine by smoke and black
damp this morning, twenty-one brave
men resolved to make one more attempt
to rescue their comrades, and at
o'clock they again entered the burning
pit. Three of the party returned to
within few hundred yards of the SUBJ
terranean fire and satisfied themselves
that the men were dead and that fur
ther search was useless. The stencil of
burning human flesh sickened them, but
they visited nine places where the men
were known to have been at
work. Two dinner pals were
found, with the dinners untouched,
and two coats. Picks and shovels
were all lying just as man would leave
them as he started on run for his life.
Otherwise no trace of the men could be
found. While prosecuting their search
further, the rescuers ran into dense
cloud of black damp, which put out
their lights. A struggle for life then
followed, but they succeeded in getting
back to the rest of the party. After a
sad consultation, it was decided to aban-
don the search, and the company will
now make an effort to extinguish the
fires and save some of their property.

MEXICAN LAND CLAIMS.
The President Urges That They Be
Speedily Adjusted.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The president
today transmitted to congress the cor
respondence between the department of
state and the Mexican government con-
corning the rights of certain Mexican
citizens to have their claims to lands in
Arizona and New Mexico, ceded to the
United States by treaty, adjusted and
confirmed. "The United States" the
president says, owes duty
to Mexico to confirm to her
citizens those valid grants that
were saved by treaty, and the long de-
lay which has attended the discharge OF
this duty has given just cause OF COM
plant from the entire community where
these large claims exist, and indeed all
our people are interested in the early
and final settlement of them. No
greater incubus can rest upon the ener-
gies of people, or the development OF a
new country, than that resulting from
unsettled land titles. The necessity for
legislation is so evident and urgent that
l venture to express the hope that relief
will be given at the present session OF
congress.

finally deserted the gasworks.
In consequence of the strike the city
tonight is in total darkness.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-General
Fabio Moran, formerly commissioner Of
division in the army OF San Salvador,
who was forced to leave his country at
the election of the late President Menen-
dez and take refuge in San Francisco
where he has been living since, will sail
from here Wednesday for San Salvador.
General Moran held number of posi-
tions OF trust in his native country
among them being that of minister of
war. In 1886 he was the Republican can
didate for president of the republic, but
was defeated by General Menendez. just
after the latter's election he issued an
order for Moran to leave the country at
once under pain of death.
General Moran's return to San Saliva
dor is due to the recent death OF Presi-
dent Menendez, and also to cablegram
said to have been received from a lead
ing government official at San Salvador
urging Moran to return at once, and
intimating that he would find an oppor-
tunity to succeed Menendez as presi-
dent.

roar in the deputies today on the second

SPANS III AMERICA.
A Mexican Disturber-Guatemala and
San Salvador.

Cry OF MEXICO, July 1.-Ruis Sando-
val and comrades are complaining
against General Ygnacio Martinez, OF
Laredo, who, they say, induced them to
make revolutionary efforts, and now
deserts them. Martinez was formerly
in the Mexican army, but was dismissed
for disobedience to orders. Since then
he has lived in Texas on the frontier
and engaged in editing papers that at
tackled President Dias and the govern
ment.
Special dispatches from Central Amer
lea say everything proves that the revo-
luton in San Salvador was fostered by
Guatemala so as to have pretext later
on to interfere, and that Guatemala is
now thinking of taking advantage of the
condition of affairs. The press here
calls on the government to explain what
position it intends to take in the matter.

that the West End Company's system Of
influence is unparalleled in the history

subversiye of all honest legislation; that

President Harrison should learn the
difference betweena civilized and barba-

his chapter on Ceremonial Government,
that'the giving of presents to the chief
or head man is an established usage
among most barbarOuS races, and orig
inally partook of the character of re-
ligious act. But the United States can
not be expected to subscribe to this Gus
tom. We do not regard the presenta
ton of gift cottage as a religious act.

Physicians and all authorities on the
subject of health are unanimous In as
Serting that good WOODEN clothes and
underwear are absolutely essential to
the preservation of health. This is so
self-evidently true that no one can deny
it; yet in the face Of this universally &C
lowers not only insist on retaining the
present death-dealing tax but would al
most double it. People were Mortified
at the awful death-roll at Johnstown-
something over 1000 human beings
but if the countless thousands OF those
who suffer sickness, resulting in linger-
ing disease and ultimate death, every
year from want of proper clothing-a
want caused mainly by this brutal tax
could be enumerated the loss at johns
town would seem insignificant. Local,
state and federal governments have
boards of health and guarantees to
guard the public health; and yet the
Mckinley bill maintains and proposes
to increase a tax which would cause
more misery and death than all pre-
ventiye measures combined could avert.

FIFTH WARD NUISANCE.

The attention of council has been
so frequently called to the necessity
for abating what is popularity known as
''the Fifth ward nuisance" we would
hesitate to revert to it again but for the
fact that the health of the city is leopard
lied, and if this spell of hot weather
continues much longer this city may be
scourged by serious epidemic, and all
due to the unhealthy gases and odors
which come from that particular local
ity. An examination of the records of
the health department reveal the fact
that during the month of July over so
per cent of the whole number of cases
of diphtheria were located in the Fifth
ward, and most of them in the immedi-
ate vicinity OF the packing houses and
Azotine works. The owners of those es-
Establishments PROFESSIONALLY have some
equities which are entitled to be con-
sidered, and possibly up to this time
council has pursued wise course in
delaying action. But the time has come
when something decisive must be done,
and very promptly done. Public rights
are always paramount to private inter-
ests, and there's no public right of such
supreme Importance as the protection
of life and health. The exigencies are
such that a days delay may be fatal.
