DROWNED like RATS.
Many Miners Perish in Another
Frightful Disaster.
A WATER SPOUT BURSTS OVER
The Mouths Of the Mines and Pcurs Down the SAsfA
Flooding the Lower Levels and Cutsng Of all
Avenues Of Escape--Ssd Scenes En-
acted About the Pit Months.

PEsTH, May lS.-An immense water spout
burst to-day in the neighborhod OF the col-
lieries situated in the city OF Fuenfsirchen,
the capitol OF the county OF Branys. Tue
huge volume Of water inundated the sur
rounding country and poured great stream
into the mines, flooding them IN very
short time and causing terrible loss OF
life.
The water poured into the mines 30
quickly that the unfortunate men who
were engaged at work in the lower levels
received no warning OF their danger aud
before they had a chance 10 escape they
were struggling in the torrent which had
almost insJautaneously engulfed them.
They struggled desperately 70 reach the
shafts or any parts Of the mines which
seemed likely 10 afford them place OF
safety but the water rapidly rose higher
and higher and in n short time every ave-
nue. Of escape was shut on and the mon
perished miserabiy.
IL is known that twenty-five men are
dead in one pit alone, aud that many more
have lost their lives in other pits.
Owing TO the great excitement which
prevails in the place, it is impossible
at present TO obtain an exact list OF all the
dead, but il will doubtless reach startling
proportions.
Inc water ulu not EcdCu W tuo upper
levels, and the miners working In these
portions OF the mines made their way TO
the surface as quickly as possible. AS soon
as the disaster which had overtaken their
fellow workmen was learned, the sur
vivors. with the assistance Of many OF
those who had focked 10 the mouths OF the
pits, made hasty preparations TO 90 70 the
rescue of the men In the flooded levels
AS the news Of the catastrophe spread
throughout the city immense crowds hast
ened 10 the scene, and the entrance 70 each
pit was soon surrounded by surging ana
wildly excited mass Of men, women and
children.
The lamentations OF those who had relc-
tives or friends in the inundated pit was
heartrending and many pitiful sceucs were
witnessed. The work OF rescue 10 being
steadily carried on. and every effort Is ne'
ing made to pump the water out OF the
the flooded levels.

DelllOn Dy the LHbutkchh5.
New YORK, May 13.-Cambling his
paper from Valencia the HerdId's Vene-
zuela correspondent states that two
more attempts to blow up government
buildings in Caracas with dynamite
have taken place. The Federal Palace
was one OF the editices the revolution
ists sought to wreck. The bomb was
placed alongside the building at p. m.
Fortunately no damage was done, but
while the whole city was in state OF
terror over the discovery the other
bomb was fired.
This was at half past S. The scene
was the military headquarters and 1t
was most daring attempt. The bomb
was placed close to the building which
at the time was filed with Palaccas SOL
diers. The structure was violently
shaken. All the panes Of glass were
smashed and every light went out.
Darkness added TO the terror OF the sit
uation. No one, however, was killed
or injured seriously. A man who Is sus-
pected OF having thrown the bomb has
been arrested.
Guards have been redoubled on all the
roads leading out of the city. The ex-
citement in Caracas is greater than
ever before. The commission sent out
by the government to the insurgent
chief. has returned TO Caracas. 1t re-
ports thatit has utterly failed in its
mission.

WASHINGTON. D. c., May l3.-Represer-
tative Anderson returned here to-doy, after
short absence in his district where he and
Ex- Governor Wilson are engaged in live
ly canvass for the Congressional nomlna-
tion.
Mr.. Anderson was in the best of spirits,
and seemed confident that he would again
be nominated. II has been stated in several
papers that MIR. Anderson was angry and
suiking beccuse had not been appointed
chairman of a special committee TO investi-
gate the census bureau. This Is great
Injustice to Mr.. Anderson. He offered the
resolution for the census lnyestl-
CATION on the strength OF information
which came TO him showing, in
his opinion, that such an investigation was
needed. According to usage, Mr.. Alder
son should have been named as chairman OF
committee TO make the investigation.
He never suggested that this should be
done, however, and the House committee
sent the work 10 the regular census Com
mittee There was widespread feellng
that this committee would not be as apt 10
make as thorough an investigation
as a special committee, for the rea-
son that its members in the discharge
of their duties have necessarily been
thrown in contact with census officials and
formed relations more or less close with
them. Mr. Anderson, when he came here
to-day, had a two hours talk with Mr..
Fithian, Chairman of the subcommittee
which is charged with the investigation
Mr.. Anderson showed his anxiety TO make
the investigation success by giving Mr..
Fithian all the information in his posses
sion and turning over TO him all the letters
AM material he had collected tending to
show irregularities in the Census Bureau

water in its lower parts, and many fami-
lies have been driven from their homes.
