BIRTHDAY OF WILHELM [.
His Grandson Commentaries it by
Granting Pensions to Ger
man Veterans.

Berlin, March 22.-The Reichsan-
zeiger this morning, upon the occasion
of the anniversary of the birth of EN-
peror William l., grandfather of the pres
ent Emperor of Germany, publishes a
decree addressed by Emperor William to
the chancellor of the German empire.
The Emperor says:
Within a short time quarter Of century
will have passed since the events which
under the glorious reign of my grandfather,
thanks to the unanimous cooperation of the
German SovereignS and peoples, led to the re-
establishment of the empire. On this day,
sacred to the memory of Emperor William /:
i feel with especial keennesS the necessity Of
making some provision such as he would
have wished for the men who, Obeying the
summons of their commanders and rejoicing
in the sacrifice, staked life and health for
the fatherland | would therefore regard 1t
with greater satisfaction if the officers sur
geonS and officials and men of the army and
navy who, in consequence OF wounds re-
ceived in 1870 and 1871, or in consequence
of injuries sustained during the time of Sery-
active service in the calculations or their
pensions, could hencefOrth have the differ
ence thus caused made up to them. 1t would
also give me satisfaction If the non-com-
orable part in the campaigns of 1870 and
1871 or in the wars waged by the German
states before 1870 and who are needy, could
be granted assistance in the future.
I do not lose sight of the fact that the cir,
cumstances admit the claims of only a small
number of men, and that these only are con
Sidered. But it is my earnest wish that the
gratitude of the fatlierland should at least
position of Indulgence.
The decree then charges Prince Ho-
henlohe to submit the proposal and to
CARR out the details.

FOSTERING REBELLION.
Charge the Spanish Newspapers
Make Against the American
Press.

Madrid, March 22.-The Epoca and the
Nacional persist in saying that the COVER
nor-general of Cuba, Gen. Calleja, has
asked for reinforcements. The govern
ment officials, however, deny the report.
The Liberal accuses the American press
of fostering rebellion and hostility to
Spain and Of partially to the rebel cause
1t also declares that large quantity of
arms and ammunition was landed in
Cuba previous to the outbreak by Ameri-
can fishermen and urges upon Spain to
impress America with the advisa bility Of
Tot favoring filibusterers and to require
q more friendly attitude upon the part of
the American consul at Havana.
Government officials who have been in
teryiewed here by representative of the
Associated Press say that they do not be
lieye that an American schooner has been
sunk by a Spanish warship.
Proceedings against certain provincial
newspapers which have been attacking the
army are being taken. The proprietors
and editors of some of these papers are
to be tried before courts martial At
Reus, province of Tara gona. three news
paper men have been arrested by order of
Il military judge.
Washington. d. c., March 22.-It is
stated by officials here that the prose
cutions Of civilian publishers before court
martial indicate that the charge will be
high treason. as the constitution of Spain
provides against trial by court-martial
except when martial law is proclaimed or
in case of high treason

PARDON IN SIGHT.
President Dole Hints that Political
Prisoners May be Released
in Time.

New York, March 21-A special from
Honolulu says: The court martials are
ended and more than 800 political prison
lers have been sentenced to terms of inn
prisonment in the penitentiary and fully
100 others have either been banished or
released or parole. There will be no capt.
tai executions. Seward, the gray and
bent old veteran of the Grand Army Of
the Republic, will be a little more than
100 years old when he has served out his
time, il he lives until then. This Ameri,
can prisoner, Seward, after having re,
,ceived his thirty-fve years sentence to
the penifentiary, made a piteous appeal
TO President Dole.
Upon behalf of Maj. Seward, and al his
request, Joaquin Miller undertook to car

mercy Its substance was an entreaty
by Maj Seward to be taken out and
shot rather than be kept in prison. When
this message was delivered to President
Dole he was startled some After be,

upon being shot, the President made this
statement: I don't think there is man

MINERS ENTOMBED.
Terrible Explosion of Gas at
Red Canyon, Wyo.
Ten Men Killed on Surface and Eighty
Imprisoned.

Salt Lake City, Utah, March PA
special to the Tribune from Red Canyon
says that terrible explosion at Rocky
Mountain mine No. 5, situated at Canyon,
Wyo., is believed to have killed eighty
men, who are imprisoned in the mine, in
addition to ten who were in the power
house above ground or near the shaft
openings. The slopes and entrances to
the lower workings are all blockaded by
wreckage and it is thought at least three
days will be required for rescue parties
to reach the bodies in the mine.
The horror occurred at 5:45 yesterday
evening at No. Central Pacific mine,
Red Canyon, five miles north of Evans,
ton. The explosion in the mine shook the
whole country around, wrecked the power
pant, farmhouse and several other
buildings, entailing heavy loss, but the
death roll far overshadows other consid-
erations.
Those who were killed on the surface
were:
EDWIN COX. outside carpenter
JAMES BRUCE, outside boss.
JAMES w. CLARK
WILLIAM SELLERS, JR
JAMES GERNLLY, an Austrian.
o. MALTBY, foreman.
JERRY CRAWFORD.
ANDREW MASON
JAMES LIMB
FRED. MORGAN.
The four first named were killed in
stantly in the power house. Maltby,
Crawford and Mason were so badly in
jured that they lived less than an hour,
The bodies of Morgan and Limb were
found down the slope, they having been
killed by flying timbers.
How many were in the mine at the
time of the explosion will take time to
tell, but the best information obtainable
places the number at over eighty Near
ly all known to be killed leave large fam
lilies.
Immediately after the explosion Supt.
Bradbury telephoned to Evanston for all
the physicians The Tribune correspond
ent went on the train and viewed the
scene of the disaster before darkness set
IL. The relief corps, carrying lanterns,
got ready to descend in hopes of rescving
alive some of the victims. The black
smith shop was turned into a deadhOuse,
four bodies lying there one with its head
blown Oft. Brave men tried to descend
some of the air shafts and slopes with
out success. Then party went down
to shovel out the caves, after which the
searching party again entered.
The slope being down 1000 feet with
nine levels, each one and a half miles
long, it will probably require several
days to reach all parts of the mine. A
few lives were saved because of the time
of the explosion. The miners quit work
at o'clock and it was customary for
them to be near the entrance and come
out just as the whistle blows. A number
of the $50 men in the mine had come out
and some had just left the entrance to
the mine slope when the explosion oc-
Cured, thus escaping death.
This is the third disastrous explosion
in this vicinity. In 1881 No. = mine
Rock Mountain, exploded, killing thir-
ty-six Chinese and four white men. In
the spring of 1886 Union Pacific mine No
4 killed e:ghty-six men Newell Bea-
man, manager, arrived from Salt Lake
tonight, FASTENED to the mine and is do
reaved and to reach those in the mine.

BIG WAREHOUSE BURNS.
Sioux City Has Disastrous Blaze
Fire Gets Into a Linseed Oil
Building.

Sioux City. Ia, March 21.-The stora ge
warehouse of the Western Transfer and inn
pielnegt company burned today. The build
ing was a f0ur-story frame structure and
was full Of farm machinery. The loss
on the building will probably reach $780,
600 The heat was so great that the
fremen were handicapped in fighting the
flames. which spread to the National Lin,
seed Oil company's storage building
containing about 100000 worth of oils.
1t is thought the flames will spread to the
anain building and if they do the loss will
be 100000 to $15O,000 more and other
surrounding plants will be in danger.
The fire is thought to have been start
ed by q spark from a passing engine
falling into a barrel of tar standing out,
side the implement warehouse. No esti>
mates on insurance are Obtainable
At a late hour it looked as though the
main building of the linseed oil mill
might be saved. In the storage house
OF the mill. which has already burned
down, were stored 10000 bushels of
flax and 100000 pounds of oil flax A
forty-mile an hour wind is blowing The
loss is now estimated at 100000 to
>Ss5tp9,O00 AL the property of the linseed
oil mill is said to be fully covered by in
surance- On the implement works there
is $50 900. which will probably cover
about half of the loss

BEER WAR GOES on.
Efforts of Chicago Brewers to Combine
are Unsuccessful.

Efforts of Chicago Brewers to Combine
are Unsuccessful.
Chicago, ILL.,, March 22-AlI efforts to
stop the beer war that has been going on
for several months have failed, and the
prospects are that the coming season will
witness the fercest competition among
brewers Of Chicago that has ever been
known in the market. The independent
breweries that have been trying for more
than six months to organize a syndicate
of their own, similar to those which CON-
troll the English breweries in this city and
Milwaukee, abandoned the task yester-
day and adjourned without fixing a day
for future meeting. 1t WAS understood
when the meeting broke up that the pool
arrangement had failed completely and
that no further efforts would be made
to organize the Independent concerns
This, of course, means that the war Of
prices will go ON, and it is not likely to
end until the brewers have lost so much
money that they will be compelled as a
matter of self-preseryation to quit fight
ing among themselves. This will be glad
tidings to saloonkeepers, for it means
that they will get been this summer at
prices ranging from 81 to So a barrel.

be in the Pay of
Spain.

rebellion who were arrested yesterday

by the government from Havana pris-
Ons. They are watched it is believed.
and should they be rearrested will be con-
fined at Matanzas This release, it is be-
heved, is to clear the prisons of Havana
so that no evidence of rebellion shall be
observed by visitors. 1t is stated that the
public of Havana have no knowledge of
arrested rebels or suspects because they
are all confined at Matanzas, forty miles
down the island.
1t is alleged that Gen. Sanguilly, the
trusted leader Of the rebellion, has been
proven a traitor and that he has embez-
zled $50, 900.
The insurrectionists interested are now
determined that if Sanguilly is released
his life shall pay the forfeit of what they
say is his treachery to their cause.
The Spanish government is wondering
over the disappearance of 300 rifles
which for two years past have been stored
in Havana. The arms had been rejected
as defective and were in storage pending
a settlement of the claim.
1t is stated by the arrivals here last
night that $500 soldiers from Spain ar
rived in Havana by a man-of-war on
Wednesday of this week. They are said
to be IA years of age and upwards
From Western Cuba, the disturbed dis
trict, came reports that Henry Brooks
is in charge Of about 1000 men at or about
Barre. Gen. Macceo has forces about
Bayalo. Gen. Joselar is said to be near
Puerto Principe organizing forces. Gen.
Masso, who went from Santiago, is re-
ported to have fought Spanish troops

Chief Brennan Says Troops Precipitated
Last Summers Trouble.
Chicago, Ill, March 22.-Chief Bren-
nan has issued his annual report of the
police department Hor 1894 1t is an
interesting document, especially that part
of it which deals with the Debs strike
Mr. Brennan devotes eighteen pages to
this subject, though he might have dis
missed it with one, since from his stand
point it was an unimportant affair. In
fact, according to the view of the chief
of police after eight months considera-
ton of the matter: The most annoy
ing element consisted of half-grown boys,
who seemed determined to make as much
mischief as possible"
Again, according to Mr.. Brennan,
these half-grown boys wouldn't have
caused the slightest trouble they did if it
had not been for the presence of troops,
for Mr.. Brennan conclusiyely says:
1T is a notable fact there WAS no
trouble where there were no troops. In
all cases where the police were left to
themselves peace was preserved, property
was kept uninjured, and the interference
with nOn-uniOn Workmen was trihiEg."

larger than last years cut. This in
crease is largely due to the forest fires,
which made it necessary to cut the logs
this year in order to save them. The
water in the water courses is not as
high as ordinary at this season of the
year and the lumbermen are depending
on wet spring to permit easy driving.
