CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
Terrible Accident in a Penn
SylVania Mine.
al immense Volume Of Water Tapped BY a
Drill and Eighteen Miners
Drowned.
Special to THE MORNING CAn1.

dAZLEToN pa, Feb. A terrible acci-
dent occurred at GAINESVILLE this morning.
whereby eighteen men lost their lives. The
accident occurred in Slope TO- operated by
D. Y. Hayden & Co. The working is situ-
ated Immediately under the old workings
known as No. s, worked out some five years
ago and filled with water. The cause of the
disaster was due to the drilling of hole
through pillar, which liberated an i'm
mense body of water confined in the old
workings, flooding the new workings and
drowning all the men in that portion of the
mine.
William Brislin, one of seven men who
escaped from the mine, says he felt the
Wlnd coming when the men broke through
into The old slope. He yelled to his com
panlons to run for their lives or they all
would be drowned. In moment a rush of
water came, and Brislin, Henry Gibbon,
John Moline, John Boyle, Charles Boyle,
William COyle and Patrick Coll, barely
escaped. The water rose rapidly, and be-
lore any attempt could be made to rescue
the wOrkmen the water flowed in. and in
i've minutes the slope, which was 624 feet
deep, was filled to the mouth, and eighteen
men, who, but a few hours before, with
light hearts had left the bright sunshine and
clear sky 10 descend into the dark cavern,
were buried in Il watery grave.
The news of the disaster created the wild
est excitement, and the mouth of the slope
was sooE thronged with PEOPLE. The scenes
OF anguish that ensued cannot be depicted.
The weath er, which was bitterly cold, did
not have any effect toward diminishing the
crowd, and it was only after the terrible re-
suit was made plain that none of the en-
tombed men were living, or could possibly
be reached until all the water was pumped
out of the slope, that the grief-slricken
friends of the unfortunate men could be in-
duced to go TO their h, mes.
The firm of Hayden IL Co. will pump the
water out as rapidly as the machinery
placed In position can do the work. How
long 1t will take is a question, since no
definite idea of the volume of water Can be
ascertaned. Some of the miners say it Will
take four weeks. Many theories are ad-
yaneed as to the cause of the great disaster
Some charge it to a neglect to notify the
orkmen OF the dangerous proximity OF the
water.

THE INDIAN WAR.
Estimated Cost Of the Recent Campaign
About Two Million Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-The estimate sent
to Congress by the Secretary of War to sup
ply the deficiency in the Quartermaster'
Department shows the cost of the Indian
campaign just closed was S1,390,000, The
principal items of this are S935, 600 for the
transportation of troops and supplies, $751;
600 Tor extra clothing, camp and garriS on
equipage necessary To fit out winter cam
palgn; $4,000 to replace horses broken
down in the campaign and for the purchase
0f ponies, and S37, 600 to cover the difference
in the cost of supplies purchased for the
troops in the field and the contract prices at
the post from which the troops were drawn.
There were other expenses under the sup
ply department. that will probably bring the
total cost OF the campaign up to 81, coo, 600, a
sum sufficient to have given the Sioux the
100000 annual appropriation promised them
for a period of twenty years.
The report OF the army officers detailed by
General Miles to investigage the fight be-
tween Indians and troops at Wounded Knee,
involving Colonel Forsythe, has been re-
ceived at the War Departm ent and is being
considered by Secretary Proctor and Gen
eral Schoiied.
MINNEAPOLIS. Feb. 4.-The Evening
Journal tonight published an interview on
the recent Indian trouble, in which, after
defense of the Indians in the recent scrim-
mage by prominent Dakota man, whose
name is withheld, Gus Beaulieu, a resident
OI oC' Idul ana widely Known among the
Indians of the Northwest says: The
whole truth of this sad business will come
out some day. l think it was two mouths
preceding the Custer massacre that Miles
and his soldiers rushed in upon an Indian
village in Montana and shot down every
man, oman and child in it without mercy
There were between 200 and 800 Indians
killed. The village being far from
telegraph information, the horrible
affair was not known until after
the Custer massacre, and then, of
course, the public mind was so occupied
with the Custer massacre that no atteuti
was paid to the previous massacre of the
Indians" After speaking of the breaking of
treaties. Beauieu sad The Indians
throughout the entire Northwest are collect
ing facts regarding thu Miles outrage in
Montana, and the failure of the Govern
ment everywhere to keep treaties Certain
chiefs will be designated to go 10 Washing
ton to prevent their wrongs and grievances,
and more especially to expose the whole
truth In regard TO tho outrage committed
before the Custer massacre"
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Captain Higgins of
General Miles staff, after carefully read
ing the Minneapolis dispatch. said: THAT
massacre story is absolutely untrue. Moth
ing in which General Miles was engaged
ever occurred that could remotely suggest
1t. In all the numerous occasions where
General Miles has captured Indians it has
been really astonishing how few Were
killed and wounded"

David I. Littler was recalled. He did not
remember having stated to Owenby that

had stated when on the stand before, and
that he had never heard any Congressman
say that he was interested in silver.
Charles S. Bradley, Cashier of the Ma
tional Bank of the Republic of this city,

BEYOND CRITICISM.
Praise for the Supreme Court for Its
Behrils Sea Decision.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-The Morning Post, re-
ferring to the decision of the United States
Supreme Court il the schooner Sayward
case, says that whatever may be the ultimate
decision which the Supreme Court arrives
at Englishmen and Canadians will recog-
nize the integrity of that tribunal
PARIS, Feb. AIN an interview in regard
to the decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the case of the schooner Sayward,
eX-Chief Justice CaZot said he would have
decided exactly like Chief Justice Fuller
had. Nothing similar had ever occurred in
France, but lie could not conceive how the
Supreme Court could otherwise pronounce.
Associate Justice Herrisson said that such
decision in France, though probably right,
would have caused great debate in the
Chambers.
Minister of Justice for the Dominion saws:
The decision of tile Supreme Court of the
United States in the case Of the British
schooner w. 2. SaYward is received With
great satisfaction. II seems to be assured
that applicants FOR VIII OF prohibition will
get decision from the Supreme Court on
the merits OF the case. THIS shows the Cam
adlan Government has been justified in the
conhdenee 1t reposed in the highest judicial
tribunal OF the United States, that it would
not allow political considerations to in-
huenee It In the slightest where the rights
OF a litigant were involved. Tha mater

SUBJECT FOR INVESTIGATION.
Death of a Lymph Patient in the Bellevue
HOSPITAL

Death of Lymph Patient in the Bellevue
Hospital.
NEW York, Feb. A man has died In
Bellevue Hospital of consumption after
long course of treatment with lymph. The
Coroner was notified and an autopsy held.
DR.. Henry p. Loomis, who brought the
lymph from Berlin, and noculated the pa
tlents IN Bellevue, was present ut the autop-
Sy. DIR. EoomiS was asked for particulars
of the case. He did not wish at first to say
anything about it, but he finally consented
TO say this: the patient was man. His
name l cannot tell you. His case was hope
less from the beginning. On the question
whether lymph scatters baclli through the
body, as Professor Virchow suggests there
is now an investigation going on. The first
rational presumption is that the effect of the
lymph is to scatter bacili, but there must
also be considered the fact that the mans
case was hopeless from the start. The prac-
tical question to be decided is whether
lymph scatters bacilli, or whether bacilii is in
the various parts OF the System before the
lymph is injected. Certain bacilli were found
in the brain, in the kidneys, in the lungs,
and, think, in the spleen. On the whole,
l think the lymph was not the cause OF the
patients DEATH
DIR. LOOMS added that there were twenty
four patients under treatment with lymph
in Bellevue, and all but two of the cases
have improved.

vessels for duty in the Southern Pacific
The Baltimore, now at TOuon, France, and
the flagship Pensacola of the South Atlantic
station have finally been chosen Tor this
service. The latter left Montevideo
several days ago. and will probably
reach VALPARAISO the latter part of
the week. The Baltimore will start from

the arrival of her commanding officer,
Captain Schley, who is now en- route to Join

more before She will reach Valparaiso. The
serious condition OF affairs in Chile has opened
the eyes Of the navy officials to the i'm
pOrtance Of keeping naval vessels at ali times
in the South Pacific. There is talk now of
dividing the Pacific Station into two squad
roas, the Southern and Northern. As soon
as more vessels become available, two dis
tinct sQuadr0ns will doubtless be formed on
the Pacific. The Baltimore will probably
be kept on special service in the South Pa

George M. Pullman, the head of the Pull

now at the Palace.
Mr.. Pullman was seen in the corridor of
the hotel shortly after his arrival, in COM
pany with General Manager Towne of the

no significance in his visit at this time.
'Our trip is merely one for pleasure" he
said, 'and has no connection with business.

times, and am always glad of an excuse to
come to San Francisco. This State is some
thing of a wonderland to me. and when in
the East never tire of singing the praises
of California. When one escapes from Chi
cago at this season of the year, when the
weather is extremely cold and disagreeable,
1t is such a pleasure to get into San Fran

pie do not avail themselves of the opportuu-
