DREADFUL.
The Uncertainty for the Fate of
the Thirty-TwO Miners
Entombed in the Burning Mine
at Dunbar, Pa.

Bare Possibility That They May Yet
Be Alive--The Smoke Pouring from the
Mines Mouth in Ever Increasing Vol
umes-Dne to the Increased Ventila-
tion from the NIahOning Mine.
DUNBAR, Pa, June ia dream of
apathy has settled over the people at the
burning pit mouth that will not be
lifted until it is known to certainty
that the thirty-two entombed men are
either living or dead. Even the latter
would be a relief from the present
strain, as even knowledge Of the very
worst is hoped for rather than the
dreadful thought that the men, even
now, are reluctantly giving up their
last breath, with lips touching the low
water rims or glued to the heated rails,
in a hope that the fearful strangling
damp will seek higher level
At 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon the
Hill Farm pit showed but faint wreath
of smoke, as if the fire within was burn
ing Ieebly. From that time, however.
the smoke grew gradually thicker and
hN"f AOA oAaIAA ttu Ps AAs AZ NuS pNASAiA1AS
from the mouth like torrent, ten times
blacker than Monday. The reason given
for this is that work had been COM
menced in the Mahoning mine, which
gave more and more ventilation to the
Hill mine, as this place is honey -combed
with drifts and headings.
This violent draft leads again to the
hope that the men imprisoned have
reached the extreme limit Of the cham
bers toward the Mahoning mine. and
are patiently waiting there for life or
death. There is no effort being made at
the Hill farm mine to offer relief, as the
heat and smoke from the pit mouth are
unbearable, and it is expected to break
into flame at any moment, when the
shops and small buildings surrounding
will go at once. All efforts at rescue
are now being made at the Mahoning
mine alone.

THE REsculNa PARTY
Cautiously Proceeding-G Fears o
Another Explosion.

Cautiously Proceeding-G Fears Of
Another Explosion.
The main work is now in hand. The
rescuing parties from Mahoning are
digging through the fallen wreck that
reaches to the roof and are working now
within seventy feet Of where they ex-
pect to break into the Farm Hill lead
There is, as usual, a conflict of au-
thority on this question, as some still
claim they are digging straight enough
into the burning mine, but that they are
fully 300 feet beyond where the men are
supposed to be.
The men will probably not be obliged
TO dig through the solid wall after all.
There is a steady draught setting in
toward the burning chambers and it
now looks as If the men had made no
mistake in their calculations and will
hit the nearest point to hairs breadth.
There are even graver fears now Of
another explosion since an occurrence Of
the morning. About o'clock heavy
fall was heard in the mine, and those
standing about saw the smoke that had
been pouring out in an ever-increasing
stream, suddenly stop.
At the same time the trip-bell away
down in the burning mine rang out
loudly. Many thought the men had
reached it to give an alarm, but this is
absurd, as even If alive they would have
been obliged to traverse at least 300 feet
of flame before they could have reached
the bell.
1t was found out after that a heavy
fall had occurred in the main slope
and had cut off the draft. This has
turned the smoke and heat back into
the chambers in such volumes that no
man could live.
The heat in the Mahoning drift is
growing more intense, and only an oc-
casional blast from the fan makes their
work bearable. This stoppage of the
draft will also shut in the gas, and work
is proceeding even more cautiously than
before.

LONDON, June 19.--The Pail Mall
Gazette denounces the negotiations con-
Quoted by Lord Salisburys government
with Germany in connection with At
rican affairs as constituting shameful
surrender of British interests and pres
tige. The announcement by the premier
of the agreement, it says, was admirably
dramatic in manner, even though moth
ing could be more abject in the matter
of its confessions
The Pail Mall Gazette adds that
although Lord Salisbury is master Of
the art of abnegation, he has neverthe-
less been compelled to admit that ON the
anniversary of the battle Of Waterloo
he meets his Sedan.
The St. james Gazette treats the
affair tersely and vigorously. 1t says

Cleveland Shut on from the World by the
Switchmens Strike.

| Cleveland Shut OF from the World by the
Switchmen's Strike.
CLEVELAND, June 19.-Every railroad
in Cleveland is "tied up, and the wheels
of the passenger and mail trains are the
only ones turning. 1t was said that the
switchmen at Erie, Dunkirk, Buffalo
and every other point on the Eastern
| division of the Lake Shore road were
only waiting for the word from Cleve-
land to join in the strike. Six hundred
men are out.
The effects of the Htie-np" are begin
ming to be felt by the business men and
manufacturers Of the city The manu-
featuring establishments, it is said, are
short Of fuel, and it has been impossible
to supply coal in quantity to meet any
thing like the demands since the strike
began. If coal is not delivered to the
Cleveland Rolling Mill company at once
it is said the mills at Newburg will be
shut down. Other Industrial plants
will also be closed in day or two un-
less the "tie-up" is united.
The railroad officials claim that the
strike If successfully maintained will
throw fully 10000 working people tenn
porarily out of employment. II is now
the evident intention Of the railroads to
hold out against the switchmen and to
place new men upon the ponies" in the
yards. Some of the railroad officials
seem to think the union men will return
TO work if they are protected from vio-
lence, but, as matter of fact, it is now
too Late for that. The members of the
Switchmen's association were forced to
strike, they themselves say, but being in
they now propose to stand out with the
others.
The yards are blocked with freight
cars, and only a few through freight
trains have been sent out, and these con-
tanned merchandise and perishable
freight. The switchmen not only have
refused to interfere with passenger
trains, but have provided that crews of
brakeman and conductors shall be left
on duty ON each road to make up these
trains. Fresh meat is also scarce, and
there promises to be a food and fuel
famine if trains are not soon moved.

demanding good order, but trouble is

Opponents Of the Government Embracing
the Opportunity.
LONDON, June 19.--As may be sup
posed, the settlement of the East Afri-
can dispute between England and
Germany in the manner stipulated in
the agreement between the two powers
just published, is seized upon by the OPP
nents of the government as a club with
which to belabor the ministry.
While it would be absurd to assume
that the opposition would have been
satisfied with any settlement the gov
ernment might make, even though it
involved the presentation of the whole
German empire to England, it cannot
be denied that they have a considerable
degree of justification for their strict
ures in the. very general belief that
England has surrendered too much.
Several of the papers arraign the gov
ernment on this charge, notably The
Chronicle, which pays its respects to
Lord Salisbury in violent leader.
In the concluding passage The Chron-
icle says: "Lord Salisbury has fixed upon
the brow of the imperial unionist party
an indeliable brand of ignominy which
gives the cue to other powers to demand
similar concessions"
