Cubans on Their Way.

Hhllauelphla, Nov. l0.-1t was
reported i'll shipping circles late
this afternoon that there is on
board the Norwegian fruit
steamship Laon, which will
reach that port tomorrow morn
ing, a delegation of officers Of
the Cuban republic, included in
which delegation is the vice
president OF that republic. The
greatest secrecy is maintained by
| all IN connection with this steam
ship, but direct information of
the fact that there is quite del~
egation on board this Steamship
was had here several days ago
by the custom authorities. 1t is
also known that d corps of Pin
kerton detectives have already
been engaged TO watch them
while in this city, so as to pre-
clude all possibility Of their pur-
chasing arms or taking out any
more tilibustering expeditions
There is no law by which the
custom authorities can prevent
the landing of the officers Of the
Cuban Republic at this port, as
the allegation Of the purpose OF
their mission, that it is to secure
arms and recruits to aid in the
rebellion, is passed only on sur
mise.
The Laon comes from Port
Morant, a small settlement in ia
maica, to which place the dele
cation is said to have gone from
Cuba in small boats.
OThe greatest excitement pre-
walls in the vicinity OF the quar-
ters where these ships land, and
many Cuban sympathizers can
be seen about here, awaiting
news from the outlaying dis
tricGs from which the ships come.
1t is stated upon good authority
that Captain Svanoe, command
ing this ship who las been a
marked man for some time, i'm
mediately upon his arrival here
will be arrested by the officers Of
the revenue marine on a charge
Of having violated the neutrality
laws in landing about three
weeks ago, on the coast of Cuba,

Springfield, Ohio, Nov. 15.-In
an animated discussion by Mitch

Cuban question, Gen. j. Warren
Keifer, ex-speaker, claimed that
the United States could not con-
sistentlY recognize the Cuban
patriots as belHge rents, for the
reason that the United States
protested when European powers

MET DEATH in A TUNNEL
Four Men Suffocated in Mine in
Colorado
Cause of the Disaster Was Due to careIcssness
in Taking an Engine Into the
Tunnel to Pump Water

PITKIN, Colo. June 9.-News reached
here today that four men were suffoca ted
in the Alpine tunnel yesterday after
noon. An engine had been run into the
tunnel. which Is 1176 feet long, with a
crew of several men, to syphon out an
accumulation of water held IN by dirt
cive. The ventilation in the tunnel is
poor and the smoke and gas from the
engine made the air so sitting that the
men soon prepared to leave. AS the en-
gine wasy backing out man was dis
covered lying across the track and the
engineer reversed, running farther into
the tunnel, where all the men were over
come by the smoke and gas.
Strenuous efforts were made to rescue the
men, but.it was impossible as the air
within had become SO impregnated with
gas and smoke that for several hours no
one could enter far enough to reach the
victims.
:; The dead are ". NJ. Flavin, superin-
tendent, married; N. Martenis, engineer,
married: NJ. Burns, fireman, married !;
Oscar CaInmann, miner, single.
Teams were sent to the tunnel this
morning to convey the remains to this
place. A special train came from Gun
nison carrying friend. and relatives of
the victims and went on to the tunnel to
meet the teams and bring the bodies to

A serious accident was averted by the
prompt action of Martin Jones. who
saved carriage load of Shriners from
being thrown into the river near the Big
Trees. A Chicago Shriner named Logan
was thrown into the water. The acci-
dent was caused by the horses becoming
frightened.
This afternoon the Shriners held re-

honor after which the Daughters OF Isis
