LOOKS LIKE WAR.
The Cabinet Has Determined That
Chilli Must Apologize or Fight

"Chili must answer" This is the
substance of dispatch that was cabled
Minister Egan Wednesday.
President Harrison has grown
weary of Chili's delay in giving a
| reply to our demand for satisfaction,
| and has determined she must make
answer speedily. This fact has been
a closely guarded secret at the State
department and it only leaked out
through inadvertency.
1t is understood that Minister Egan
has been instructed to notify the
Gillian foreign Office that not only do
we want speedy reply as to its pur-
poses, but still insist ON full repara-
ton.
In the polite language of diplomacy,
it is understood to cover an apology
and indemnity, and the punishment of
all parties convicted of the outrage.
President Harrison announced, at
the Cabinet meeting, that Mr.. Egan
had cabled him that something definite
might be expected from Chill within
a few days, and another dispatch is
looked for.
Messages have been received from
Commander Evans. of the Yorktown,
which recite recent assault upon a
party of his sailors at Valparaiso At
the Cabinet meeting this matter was
discussed with vigor and a sentiment
of hostility
MUST FORCE TEE DEMANDS.
Regarding the investigation of the
assault on the Baltimores crew at
Valparaiso, the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle says editorially:
ono one can read the testimony Of
the sailors of the Baltimore without
feeling at once that the subject of the
Valparaiso attack has assumed such a
phase that the hurt cannot be cured
by mere apology from Chilli
"We believe it is clearly the duty of
the United States to demand complete
reparation and suitable endemnity
from Chill, and to enforce the demands
If there is any hesitation in complying
with it,"

THE MINE HORROR.
One Hundred and Fifty Persons Miss

| ing.
A telegram from South McAllister
L. t., says: Nearly all the bodies have
SO far been recovered from the Usage
mine at Krebbs, 1t is estimated that
| the number of missing will reach the
total of 100, based on the following
| figures: About $50 men were in the
| mine at the time of the explosion; SO
dead bodies have been recovered, the
names of IS men slightly and seriously
injured are known, and about 90 men
escaped without injury.
Those who first went into the shaft
after the explosion say the scene was
revolving. Legs, arms and headless
bodies were lying in mass at the
bottom of the shaft, and scattered all
over the various approaches. Twen-
ty-four bodies were found at that
point, but only six of them could be
identified.
Six small boys, names unknown,
who were tending the fans, were
killed outright and were found dead at
their posts. 1t has been learned that
the explosion was caused by George
Lowery exploding what is known as q
window shot.
Fleming, the mining expert. the
former superintendent of the mine,
but now general manager OF the South
west Coal and Improvement Company,
of Colgate, |. f., says the man who
fired the shot was to blame for the
disaster, for he should not have fired
it until all the men were out of the
mine. The shot was fired at 5:07
when it should not have been fired
until $3.50.
Had they waited, there would have
been only four or. five men in the
shaft and not more than four or five
deaths would have resulted from the
explosion. Of those who were taken
out alive, fifteen died yesterday. In
addition to these thirty-five are SO
badly hurt that at least twenty will
die. These are lying swathed from
head to foot in bahdages, and are SO
badly injured they cannot tell the
story of the accident. The work in
all the mines in the vicinity has been
stopped and the miners in the other
shafts are rendering all the assistance
in theirsspower to those who are try
ing to get the dead men from the
mine.

COMPARISONS are odorous"-and
somebody will think the following
| announcement out of all taste, and
smelling very strong of anarchy, and
all that sort of thing. Without pre-
tending tosettle thequestion of ethics
or good taste, or the degree of crime
In either case, we give it just as we
find 1t In another newspaper: 1.-TWO
Nebraska banks are In trouble. The
First National Bank at Enterprise
was robbed Of several thousand dollars
by three cowboys, and on the same
day the National Bank at Tecumseh
was closed by order Of the Comptrol-
Ter OF the Currency, having been
robbed of about $4,000 by the bank
officials. Now where is the differ
ence? Is it not really in favor of the
cowboys? They had the courage to
make the bank officers hold up their
hands and violated no expressed faith
to the public. The officers got the
public confidence and cowardly stole
behind peoples backs. Yet the law,
or the public as the case may be, will
send the cowboys to the penitentiary,
and II possible settle with the other
thieves for so cents on the dollar.
And this is-what do you call it, any
how?

BOSTON builders and insurance
men, according to the New York Com

what seems to be the discovery that
asbestos paper between floors Is not
only no protection against fire, but
an increase Of the danger. The law
provides that In Boston buildings the
whole area of the floor from wall to
wall shall be deafened with one inch
OF plaster or two thicknesses Of as
Destos paper, or other incombustible
material. 1t has been customary In
complying with this law to use as
bestos paper; but the American
Architect reports some recent ex-
periments in Germany which throw
grave doubt on the value of the pre-
caution. The fire inspector Of Ham,

nesses of one and one-flfth inch boards
Joined at right angles was burned
through in one hour and twenty min
utes. The same construction with
asbestos between the f1oorings was
subjected to fire in the same way as
the boards and burned In flfty-nine
minutes, or twenty-three minutes
quicker than without the asbestos.
With ordinary roofing felt the floor
burned in one hour and twelve min

reached from these experiments was
that all materials introduced between
the floors are, to say the least, useless
