Austrian Golfers Killed.
A STEAMER HIT BY AN ICEBERG
Narrow Escape OF the Ethiopia From
Destr uetion-A Great Hole stove
An Her Bow.

TRoPpAu, .Austria, June 1.-THE total
number of deaths resulting from the ex-
plosion that occurred in mine near here
few days ago is 232 Engineer kouhtt,
the sole survivor of the party that went TO
attempt the rescue of the miners. said in
an interview today that ne heard fearful
explosion on Thursday night. He irnme-
diately rushed to the pit, from which
dense smoke and cloud of coal dust
belched forth. He formed party and
descended the shaft into the mine. He
entered the fourth level, where he found
the bodies of twenty-four miners and
several dead horses living At the entrance.
The galleries were blocked with fallen
beams and coal. While waiting for REIN
forcements fifteen survivors issued from
the well leading from the fifth level. They
were almost exhausted. Kouhtt signaled
for help. Suddenly q terrific explosion
occurred, hurting the wagons together and
throwing Kouhtt to the ground. His hat
fell down the shaft, but he clutched =
door, which prevented him going down
also. The lamps in the level were extin-
guished. He held handkerchief to his
mouth, and this prevented him from being
choked to death by fire damp.
He was. however, gradually losing
his senses when the pitmen flee
ing from the lower level went up
the shaft. Kouhtt shouted and was
taken into the cage and raised
to the surface. A second party descended
into the mine and bravely entered the gall
leries. They found all the first rescue
party dead. The rescuers continued their
explorations. and although they were
badly burned recovered some bodies, most
of which were unacceptable. The mine
is still burning. and it will not be possible
to resume work for six months. The vic
tins we're buried this afternoon, and the
services were marked by many distressing
scenes.
Tee whole district was flooded yesterday
By the overflow of the Vistula river. The
bridges at Darkau and Karwin were
blocked, and several others were destroyed.
The town of Schwaz- Wassa was inun-
dated. Soldiers have erected dams to
prevent further damage by the floods,
which are now subsiding.

TIE NEW HARBoK LINES.
Land Commissioners Asked TO Postpone
Action on Plans.


The Chamber OF Commerce Ihss tele-
graphed 10 the state board Of land commits
sioners asking them TO postpone flnai sc-
ton on tbs proposed location Of water
ways in Seattle harbor for at least one
week. An answer was requested before
Monday morning. but none had arrived az
. late hour last night.
The idea of the chamber is that as the
plan varied materially from that proposed
by the chamber some time ago, time should
be allowed the chamber and the citizens
generally TO lay before the board their
views on the proposed changes. TWAS also
urged that the harbor line and
the whole scheme OF harbor improve
ment would have to be approved by the
board of army engineers before il could be
carried out. and that therefore the land
commissioners should lay the plans be-
fore them and secure their approval before
fling the official map. rather than take
the chances of having TO change the plan
after having fled it.
This evening q general meeting viii be
held, at which Director Aiciatare. OF the
weather bureau, will deliver an address on
tho subject of the service he is connected
with.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL PLANT.
Machinery I'm Good Condition-The Mos
quito Question Unsettled.

Machinery I'm Good Condition-The Mos
quito Question Unsettled.
BLUEFIELps. Nicaragua. June 17.-An
Associated Press correspondent accom-
panied United States Commissioners Hast
ings, who was sent by the government to
Greytown to inspect the Nicaragua canal
property. The plant and other property
were found in much better condition than
expected. Mr.. Hastings said that it was
impossible to state when the work would
really begin in earnest. but he hoped it
would not be long. There is a great deal
of work to be done before work on the
canal actually begins The repairing,
he was confident. would be started
shortly, as all the dredges could be used
again if the work so much needed would
be begun in a short time. OF course the
dredges would need new hulls, but in the
meantime. with proper repairs, the present
ones could be made to hold the machinery.
The mammoth hulls would have to be
built in the United States, then brought
down here, and that would take time. He
had not found the companys property in
hrst-class order. but il was IN bet
ter condition than what he had ex-
pected to find it. lie had an idea
that everything had been allowed to go to
ruin. while in reality it had been cared Tor
by the faithful employees of Gonzales. The
village of Greytown has been practically
deserted since the stopping OF work. Grave
rumors have drifted from the capitol
which, If true, will delay the settlement of
the Mosquito reserve question for months.
THE Mosquito question does not seem TO
be quieting. Outbreaks are numerous. In
Blueields the courts are set at defiance,
while at Pearl City, which is the
second town in size and importance
in the reservation. things are even
worse. In Pearl City on the even
ing OF the 4th, when the police
attempted to arrest disorderly
negro, an American named Joe Lahne
called upon a crowd of negroes and In
dams to resist The situation was so
ieveFish that word was all that was re-
CURED TO raise a riot. The crowd fell
upon the police with fury, and two police
men were beaten nearly TO death. The
newly appointed Nicaraguan governor
came out to quell the riot, but was COM
PEELED to flee TO the government building
for his life. The streets were filed with
a bowling mob of half-drunken natives,
men and women. In the morning the
governor sent a messenger 10 Bluehelds,
ordering out troops. He sent another
message to the British ship for marines to
protect his life. The riot was the culmi-
nation of the long pent-up hatred of the
Nicaraguans. There IS seen 20 be perfect
understanding between the negroes and
Indian tribes. The consuls have received
official notice that the ministers have
agreed upon 4 plan OF settlement. and
while the terms are not yet public il is
generally understood 10 be favorable TO
Nicaragua. She is to retain her sovereign
rights. will fortify the coast. collect rev.
enues and hold the public land. On the
other hand, the chief will be restored,
but with munieipal rights alone.

One row took place in the city hail, and
George vinson, a deputy marshal, pulled
a pistol on a man named McCaw and was
