Why Officers no Longer are Allowed 10 Act as
Correspondents.

W,sui~croN, April lin explanation
of the paragraph in the recent navy rcgula-
tions prohibiting naval officers from acting
~ correspondents of newspapers, it is said
to have had its origin in the late Chilian
war. During that struggle, the story goes,
two naval officers stationed at Valparaiso
were in the pay of certain newspapers to
which they wire frequent Inside" news in
cipher of the movements of each of the
forces engaged.
Balnaceda or the one si,e or the Provis-
ional troops on the other were thus made
aware of movements wired back from New
York by their friends, that they could not
otherwise have known, and the Provisional
forces subsequently complained of this to
our gOvernment.

And Il is Feared tnat All Of Them

LoxpoS. April lt.--A frightful accident
occurred today in Wales, A spark from

The exact number of lives is NOT known.
Three hundred miners are entombed. The

Il at most of the miners have perished,
The rcscuers who went down were
driven back without being able to bring up
more than Ave Of the dead.
10 Escaped After Terrible Struggle.
Later adviees from pont-y-pridd say that
the pit is worked in sections, one seam
above another. The fire resulting from
the explosion broke out in the eastern Sec
ton. From this section 20 men succeeded
in reaching the surface through the main

forcing their way through fire and smoke.
Many were seorched and all were exhausted
when they emerged in safety. They ex-
pressed the fear that all those left behind
them in the mine had perished,
Late Particulars.
The first alarm was given at ESQ this
afternoon. Sparks from the engine In the
four foot seam is supposed TO have ignitcd
pile of cotton waste, The flames spread
to the woodwork and finally ignited the in
tiamablc gas in the seam.
The 200 hundred men at work in the
seam ran toward the landing. Many were
overtakcn by the fire and smoke and fell,
being left TO their fate. Comparatively
few of the men in the seam reached the
landing.
At the entrance of the shaft rcscuing
party was formed by the pit surveyor. The
party got ms far rs the landing at the seam
where the fire started, and were driven
back by the dense smoke. The surveyor
took the men back to the surface.
After half an hours rest they went down
again m forced their way 10 yards into
the workings. They found four dead bodies
which they brought back. Attempts to go
further into the workings were vain. as the
woodwork WIS burning and large masses Of
ruins were falling necessarily from the
roof One of the rescue party who ven
turcd too far was killed.
The men who saved themselves are un-
able to give any clear account Of the dis
trihuiion of miners in the mine. Hand
grenades, barrels of water and pipes at
hchft TO nre engines on tDe snIihce were
used to cxtinvuish the flames in the mine.
In two sections Of the mine the fire was
put out. The extinction Of the flames was
followed in each case by accumulations of
gas. Another attempt to enter the seam in
winch the fire started proved resultless.
Although the rescue party saw six dead
bodies they were prevented by smoke and
heat from reaching them.

not be ascertained although there are
known to be above 80.
At midnight the fire was again burning
IN all sections of the mine near the shaft.
The service pipe used to pour water into
the mine has burst. Difficulties in the way
of aueucbing the fire have increased
greatly and the rescue of the men below 10
regarded hopeless.

this natural law in the animal world ap-
plicable to the soil, and particularly to
the sandy soils Of our State? The ham,

But | think there is little danger of get
ting too much muck, COW chips, rOtted
sods and grass or the vines of leguminous
plants turned into the pine lands where
our vegetable crops or orange trees are
voracious feeders.
Admit, for the sake of argument, (Which
we doubt) that these coarse manures
havecomparatively little plant food. But
their mechanical effect is at least a seal
folding by which the structure of tree or
plant isreared, and it is different matter
to raise a substantial permanent struc-
turewthout theaid of these despised auxil-
iaries. The more we have OF these the more
effective will be the phosphate and potash
in giving quality to vegetable and fruit,
and stimulating theroots to take hold Of
and utilize and find home in the coarser
foods, all combining to make trunk and
branch and twig and leaf and fruit.

the application OF muck, sod, grass and

Still there are some old fashioned
