which their fellow workmen and the opera
tor testified.
The operator testified that two weeks
prior to the accident he had examined the
abandoned gangway and found small fall
of rubbish by which the water was dam
med back to Il height of three feet. These
facts he stated to the two miners ordering
them to keep bore hole ahead in the face
OF the breast after reachinga given dis
lance. Two days before the accident the
operator sent miner who was working in
the next breast to them, to warn them to
keep the bore hole ahead.
When he delivered his message, one of the
miners to which it was sent replied "Do
you think | am a'damned fool, and don't
know what l am doing?"
Another miner testified that he also had
warned them to keep the bore hole ahead
on the evening before, and again on the
morning of the accident, but he was told to
keep lookout for his own safety, that they
were all right.
Notwithstanding these warnings, the two
unfortunate victims of their own folly,
continued to work on in the usual manner,
without taking the precautionary measures
they had frequently been requested to take
for their own safety against sudden rush
of water, which they we'll knew was sure
to follow, if they broke through into the
old gangway with large opening, never
theless, it was evident beyond doubt,
from the indications shown by the opening,
that they had continued undermining the
vein until there remained only about six
inches between them and the water, when
evidently the face of coal suddenly gave
way, making an opening into the old gang
way about seven feet wide and five feet
high, through which the volume of water
rushed, carrying its victims and loose coal
down the breast before it, until they reach
ed the battery above the gangway. Here
the mangled body of one was found, and
his companions some distance from the
place of the accident, where he died. Such
accidents as this could be prevented by the
miners simply obeying orders, but there are
headstrong miners as well as other people.

Porte is plainly helpless among HI
enemies. domestic and foreign. He ii
threatened with the interference 81

the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of his empire. II
he does not give the Armenians pro-
lection and some sort Of home rule;
and II he does, he is menaced with q
domestic rebellion on the part of his
!! indignant Turkish subjects His only
alternative would seem TO be to declare
holy war. rally all the sons OF the
Mohammedan faith under his banner.
and die, if die he must, lighting man-
fully for his people. his country and
his religion. But the Turks have sad
| ly degenerated since the days whom
they overran Europe and sent thrill
of terror throughout Christendom.
The Sultan is at the end OF his
resources. The only question Is
whether the allied powers are really
in earnest in their threats Of interfer-
ence. The aged patriarch Of Armenia
declares that he has reasons to believe
that neither Russia nor England is sim
cere in their professions of aid to
Armenia. Without them the other
powers will do nothing. This week
will probably tell the tale. Mean
while the massacres of helpless Chris
tians are increasing in violence with
frightfIl rapidity. Fifteen thousand
killed outright and O.0O0 more left to
starve, without the means OF livelf-
hood. wandering aimlessly about the
hills and plains.
The United States may after all be
compelled to take the initiative in ex-
tending protection to these martyred
Christians. Minister Terrell has given
the Sultan, as we'll as the Governors
of the provinces, vigorous warning
that If a single hair Of an Americans
head be harmed. his country will take
immediate steps to avenge his wrongs.
It was left for the United States, with
gallant Decatur. to chastise the pirates
of the Mediterranean, who sailed under
the the Bey of Tripoli's black gag,
while European nations paid him
tribute, or evaded the issue. It would
be a fitting climax to our country's
glorious record as peace-maker be-
tween China and japan, as the prime
mover for peace in sthe Brazilian re-
bellion. as the foremost nation in the
world in submitting her own difer-
ences with foreign countries to the
peaceful issue of arbitration, II she
should be the first nation to secure
peace and protection to the unhappy
Christians of Asia. k C. Times.

Ready for Him.

"Have you change for twenty9" asked
a fat. sleek, prosperous-looking man as he
approached the cashier desk in the Con-
tinental Hotel cafe yesterday afternoon
with a check from the bar for 10 cents.
The cashier surveyed him moment with
cool disdain. Haven't you anything
smaller?" asked the man of checks and
change. Upon receiving a negative reply
he handed the fat customer the sum Of
$40 80, and the latter went out with a
slightly disgruntled air. 'I'm onto him, y
remarked the cashier as his prosperous
looking friend disappeared down the cor
ridor. "He used to come in here every
day, and if his check was 10 cents he would
go down in his clothes, fish up 9 cents in
change, say that was all the small money
he had and fash twenty-dollar bill on
me. Well, rather than change the twenty
would take the cents. Then he began
trying cents. then 7, and finally got down
to 5. He is one of the richest men in
Philadelphia, but | tumbled to his little
game, and now I always change his
twenty. "-Philadelphia Record.

RUSSIA GETTING READY,
Prepared to Begin HostiIities
if Japan Refuses Her
Request.
Plenty Of Time Given the Mikado's
Men in Order to Avert
qualification.

LONDON, ENG, May "A dispatch to
the Times from Odessa says it is semi
officially announced that Russia has made
every preparation and is quite ready to
begin hostilities if Japan refuses to modify
the terms of her treaty of peace with
China.
Berlin dispatch to the Times says that
negotiations are actively proceeding to
secure an amicable settlement of the trou-
bic between Russia, Germany and France
on the one side and Japan on the other.
In consequence of these negotiations,
Japan has not made formal reply to the
protest of the powers.
st. Petersburg dispatch to the same
paper says there is reason to believe that
an early official answer from Japan to the
protest of Russia, Germany and France
was not expected. Russia is inclined to
give Japan plenty of time in which to re.
ply without the latter stultifying herself in
the eyes of the Japanese people by any
thing like too hasty compliance. The
Russian envoy at Toxic has lately pressed
for reply to the protest and has been told
that it will be given in few days on the
return of Count Ito, president Of the Japa.
nese Council of Ministers. In diplomatic
circles there is great confidence that g
pacific solution of the matter will be
reached.
The Times Paris correspondent say;
that the papers of that city are trying
desperately hard to complicate the CUES
ton of the attitude of the powers in re.
gard to the Chinese-Japanese treaty OF
peace. The correspondent adds: "From
an excellent source I am informed that the
rumors of an ultimatum, collective notes
etc., are not founded on fact. Russia, in
fact, is not so determined as is generally
supposed to push matters to the practical
issue of open hostilities

VISITING THE COMSTOCK,
Mrs. Cravens and Her Daugh-
ter Use Assumed
Names.
They Declare, However, That Their
Trip Has Nothing to Do With
the Fair Will.

VIRGINIA CITY, New, May Mrs.
Cravens, who gained so much newspaper
notoriety by producing one of the alleged
genuine Fair wills, arrived on the Com
stock this evening on the local train,
which arrives here at o'clock. She IS
travelling under an assumed name and
was accompanied by her daughter, Miss
Birdie Cravens. the actress, who is also
travelling incognito. In answer to ques-
sions propounded by the landlady, they
said that the younger woman was a COM
mercial traveller, travelling under the
chaperonage of her mother. The lodging
house did not suit the ladies, however, and
they went to the International Hotel,
where they registered under the names OF
Mrs. Lizzie Baker and Miss Blanche Baker.
When the ladies came from the hotel to
go to dinner at a restaurant they passed a
reporter who had seen neither of them for
a number of years, but who compared
their faces with the numerous newspaper
cuts which have recently been published
and came to the conclusion that he had
made no mistake.
When asked concerning her business on
the Comstock Miss Cravens said: Mamma
and / are simply travelling for my health.
You have, of course, read that have been
very sick with the grip. Our visit has
nothing to do with the Fair will and we
are travelling under an assumed name in
order to be left alone"
"How long do you expect to stay on the
Comstock?" was asked.

was in connection with the Fair will.
Perhaps your business and his are of a
similar nature?"
This question received no answer.

dered this lady when the discussion Incl
dent upon Mrs. Reynolds paper developed
the fact that she too had been in the hos
pltal service during the War of the Re-
belllon and had established the first three
hospitals in the West. At the conclusion
OF the programme a brief business meet
Ing was held, at which fraternal delegate
was appointed to the State convention OF
the W. G. t. o., after which the parlia-
ment adjourned.
II, as the bright president stated, the
object OF the parliament is to make women

tendance grew from ten to fifty at day ses-
slons, went away with many new thoughts
in their heads.
A large and brilliant assemblage of ladies
gathered at the Arlington Hotel last night,
the occasion being reception rendered the
parliament by the Woman's Club of Santa
Barbara. After a charming musical pro-
gramme by the Schubert Club the company
adjourned to the dining-room, which was
tastefully decorated with flowers for the
occasion. AT late hour the company dis
persed, most of them to take the early
morning train for their homes.

SURPRISED THE SPANISH,
Fierce Battle in Which the
Insurgents Gained a
Victory.
Now 1t Is Asserted That the Rebels
Have Established a Re-
public.

TAMPA, FLA, May 2.-Passengers ar
irving on the Plant steamer tonight con-
firm the account of the Cuban VIC
tory. They assert that General Maxine
Gomez with two forces of Pique Perez ana
General Mace, numbering $500 Cuban inf
fantry and 800 cavalry, attempted to in
wade the province of Camaguay. While
on their march General Salcedo fastened
with 5000 Spanish troops to intercept and
prevent the Cuban invasion.
They met at Jaragueta, the Cubans sur
prising the Spanish forces. The CCbans
surrounded the enemy and four times
charged them. The Spaniards finally
entrenched themselves and made stub
born resistance. During the conflict
two hundred Cubans were killed and
wounded, while the Spanish losses were
between 400 and 500. Two hundred of the
Spaniards were captured. The Cubans
then proceeded in their march to
Camaguay. The fight occurred on
the 23d. The passengers positively
assert that the Cuban republic was formed
at Palenque about week ago. Tomas
Estrada Palma is said to have been named
as President, Jose Marti as Foreign Min
lister and Secretary and Maxine Gomez as
general in command of the whole army.

SAN JOSE, CAL, May &c. D. Wright
has petitioned the Superior Court to set a
day for hearing his claim for attorneys
fees in the matter of the guardianship and
estate of James P. and Ivan Treadwell.
Petitioner sets forth the fact that he was
attorney for the late c. w. Breyfogle, who

couple of trips to Nevada to induce Ivan
Treadweu to return to this State and also
assisted in securing the removal of Calvin
F. Somers as guardian of said minors,
and that neither he nor the executors of
said c. W. Breyfogle ever received pay
