"The newspaper fake mills are humping

self the stories sent out from Washington
are absolutely false.
"The statement that intend to sound
the alarm in the Senate against the pres

equally false"
On the subject of Presidential candi-

is, Tom Platt made a great mistake in not
holding a mid-winter convention. IL is
now too late for him to DO anything

A TERRIBLE DISASTER.

And Many Miners Are Lying Dead In the
Pits-The Grief Of the Stricken Peo-
pie-Hawaii Wants Annexation-Ars
ParneII's Suit.

PnsrH, May 14.-An immense wates
spout burst yesterday In the neighbor-
hood of the collieriss in the city of Fuen-
undated the surrounding country and
poured in great stream into the mines,
flooding them in very short time and
causing terrible loss of life.
The men ct work in the lower levels re-
eeivsd no warning Of their danger. They
struggled desperately to reach places OF
safety but soon every avenue OF escape
was shut of and the men perished. 1t Is
known that 22 men are dead In one pit
alone and that many more have lost their
lives In the other pits.
Owing to the great excitement which
prevails 1t In impossible at present to OBJ
tain an exact list Of all the dead, but 1t
will doubtless reach startling PROPOSE
tions.
The water did not reach to the upper
levels and the miners working there
quickly made their way to the surface:
many who had fiocked to the mouth Of
the pits, made hurried preparations to GO
to the rescue CT the men In the flooded
levels.
AS the news of the catastrophe spread
throughout the city, immense crowds has
tened to the scene and the entrance to
each pit was soon surrounded by a surg
ing and wildly excited mass of men,
women and children. The lamentations
of those who had relatives or friends In
the inundated mines were heartrend-
ing, and many pitiful scenes were wit
messed.
The grief OF the stricken people became
more intense as some of the bodies of the
drowned were slowly hoisted to the sur
face and identified by sorrowing friends.
The work of rescue is being steadily
carried on and every effort is being made
to pump the. water out of the flooded lev
