killed and scores were injured In an ex-
plosion of fire damp in the Fortschritt mine
near Dux this morning, as the shifts were
changing. A cage full of miners had been
lowered half way down the shaft when the
ground trembled, loud rumbling report
was heard and the cable attached to the
cage gave such lurch that the lowering
machinery broke. A rush Of air and dust
from the pits mouth, sounds
of crashing timbers and the
cries OF the men in the cage gave warning
to the men above Of the extent OF the dis
aster. Help was summoned, the machinery
was repaired after delay Of half an hour
and the cage was raised. Ten of the occu-
pants had been killed instantly by the shock,
ten had suffered fractures from which they
cannot recover and Eve who had broken
limbs and internal injuries will live. They
had been almost suffocated by the
gas rising in the shaft and said
that no man could live below. The
other casualties, to make the above ag-
gregate, were among the miners at work be-
low. IL is not beloved that anybody not

GERMANY's ARMY BILL.

Chancellor Won Ceprivi Again Before
the ReichstaR Committee.
BERLIN. Jan. a. - chancellor Won
Caprivi to-day attended meeting of the
Reichstag committee on the army bill. He
declared that the proposal to increase the
number Of recruits up TO the limits OF the
present peace footing could not replace the
government measure. The chancellor added
that the adoption OF the proposal would en-
the army and prevent its mobiliza-
tion at certain periods of the
year, thus imperiling the defense OF the
country. The government bill did not im-
ply doubt OF the continuance OF tho triple
alliance, but was due TO recognition OF the
fact that despite the help that would be
rendered by the triple alliance, Germany,
Ia the event OF war, would have to face su-
perior numbers.

A CROWD AT rRR PANAMA TRIAL.
The Accused in Earnest Consultation
With Their Counsel.

The Accused in Earnest Consultation
With Their Counsel.
PARIS, Jan. A.-Interest In the Panama
trial increases as the end comes near. The
approaches to the court were crowded this
morning as soon as the gates were opened.
Many prominent men were present, and
also number of ladies'
When NJ. de Lesseps, NJ Fontane and M.
Cottu we're brought in they promptly asked
leave to confer with their counsel before the
resumption of the proceedings The accused
and their counsel talked eagerly together,
While the consultation was in progress NJ.
Eiffel entered and shook. hands with his
fellow defendants He did not, however,
join in the conference. NJ. de Lesseps
seemed to be earnestly advising his counsel
with frequent and emphatic gestures.
BARBoUx's ARGUMENT.
M. Barbour resumed his argument in be-
half Of his clients. He indicated no new
line of defense, but proceeded to Justify the
assurances which the direotors of the
Panama Canal Company had given to the
shareholders and public In relation TO the
Panama enterprise. He did not, he said =,
expect to be able to deal to-day with the
charges Of q breach of trust.
MEYER REFUSES TO APPEAR.
Chairman Brisson informed the parlia-
mentary commission of inquiry to-day that
Arthur Meyer, director Of the royalist
daily, the Gadlois, had refused TO appear
before them TO testify as to the charges
made against him by Charles de Desseps.
N. Meyers excuse for refusing to testify
was that the commission has no authority
over journalists and he has sent an open
letter TO the press syndicate arguing In
support OF this unique contention.
Magistrate Franqueville has finished his
examination OF eighteen persons connected
with the Panama scandal. He has decided
that Ferdinand de Lesseps, Charles de
Lesseps, Henry Cottu, Marius Fontane, ex-
Deputy Sans-Leroy, ex-Deputy Cochran,
NJ Arton and M. Blondin are culpable. His
decision as to the other ten Is not yet
known.
Ex-Deputy Gobran is supposed 10 have re-
ceived O check for 10000 francs. The spe-
cific charge against NJ. Arton is that be
bribed Sans-Leroy. M. Blondin, as Bai-
haut's private secretary, handled the money
that passed between the Panama people and
the minister of public works, besides hav-
ing other compromising dealings with the
canal company.

EGYPT's oCCUPATIoN.
The Native Army Believed to be Loyal
to the British

TO the British.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-Some surprise was
expressed yesterday at the news from Cairo
that Lord Cromer had expressed so con-
hdently in regard to the prompt suppress
sion OF any outbreak that might OCCUR.
ro-day's advices give grounds for Lord
Cromers statement His lordship is assured
OF the entire fidelity Of the native Egyp-
tian army 30 the British cause ard with the
British army Of occupation cooperating
with the native troops it is believed that
any attempt at insurrectlon will be
promptly crushed.
THE RFFRcr OF THE NEWS.
A Cairo dispatch says Lord Cromer
called upon the khedive this morning to in-
form him that the British cabinet had
ordered an increase of the British garrison
In Egypt. The dispatch does not state
how the khedive received the news, but no
doubt felt that it had made profound inn
preston I'm dissipating any idea that Mr..
Gladstone intended to abandon Egypt.
THE KHEpIvE STILL HOSTILE.
The latest dispatches from Cairo state
that the hostility OF the khedive toward
the English show no signs of abating. In
answering the threat uttered by Lord
Cromer, to the effect that complete
change Of regime might be necessary in the
event Of resistance of British authority, the
lshedive replied that he only yielded to
force. The khedive has been strengthened
in his attitude OF antagonism towardl the
English by deputstions from the provinces,
headed by local officials hostile to British
control. These deputations have addressed
the khedive in fulsome and hattering
language, congratulating him on his opposi-
ton to the English.
GRENFELL CONFIDENT.
M.s III
army, who is now IN London, was at the
war office to-day in consultation with MIR.
Campbell Bannerman, secretary OF state
for war. 1t is officially stated &C the war
office that both Gen. Grenfell and Gen.
Kitchener, the sirdsr OF Egypt, VINO has
complete authority over the Egyptian
troops, unite In guaranteeing
the loyalty of the native soldiers to their
English officers. s4For this reason chiefly,
advice and opinion of Gen. Grenfell, will
for the present, limit the amount Of British
reinforcements TO 200 men: but arrange
ments have been completed to draft 10, 900
men on three days notice from the
British garrisons in Malte, Cyprus and
India to Egypt. British troops on
their way to India TO relieve British regi-
ments about TO depart from India are to be
detained at Port Said until advised to pro-
ceed. The British could therefore in short
time bring about $1,000 British troops TO
bear against any insurrection In Egypt, and
in case the native army would remain
loyal, total force of about 80 900 would be
under British direction.
FRANCE wARLIKE.
PARIS, Jan. 24-The sensation in France
over the action of the British in Egypt is
increasing. The course taken by England is
looked upon as proving the determination Of
Great Britain to persist in the occupation OF
Egypt. The newspapers unanimously call
upon the government to vindicate the rights
or France.

was theft, as Gore had been to Ocala yester-
day and deposited with the First National
Bank 81 900 and had drawn out $50. and
the impression that he had this money on
his person caused his death. The murderer
not finding the money, setsthe house on fire
and Cores remains were left where they
fell, across the threshold of his home.
Another report is that his remains were
found IN the opposite corner of the room
from where his bed stood. The flames we're
discovered about O'Clock this morning.
The body was burnt beyond recognition.
He lived alone, as he and his wife had sep
arated short time ago. At O'Clock this
morning everything was all right, es young
folks who had been to a party and who
lived near Cores went homo past his build-
ing.
Coroner Clary is now at Cores holding an
