THE INSURGENT CAUSE.

wills Dudzsn, Lieutenant la Gomez
Army Talks About It.
MILWAUKEE, March 25. - William
Dudzen, known in the Cuban army as
Lieutenant Delbelo, who has just re-
turned to this country from Cuba,
where has been fighting for the islands
independence, spent a few hours in
this city and then left for st. Paul,
where he is going to visit friends.
From St. Paul he will proceed direct
to New York to consult the Cuban
junta, which has charge of the affairs
of the revolutionists in this country.
Lieutenant Dudzen is suffering from a
bad wound he sustained in charging
the Spaniards near Havana several
weeks ago and as soon as his injuries
have healed, he will again proceed to
join the insurgents under the command
of General Gomez. Dudzen is a
wealthy American about 55 years of
age and formerly lived in Cincinnati.
He has travelled extensively in the
South and speaks Spanish fluently. In
an interview here he said:
Resolutions did No Good.
"As far as Cuba is concerned, con-
gress has done it little good by adopt
ing resolutions OF course, it caused
great rejoicing among the insurgents,
but it made Spain more bitter toward
the revolutionists. In Havana Ameri-
cans are most bitterly denounced, and
the Spaniards are now more determined

passed resolutions. why. it would have

have not been conquered and never will
be until the last one is cut down. They
will fight until they have been exter-
minated, because were they to surren-
der in this engagement they would be
slaves forever. They are being rein

Two Rescuers Who Go Down
in the Shaft Met Death
From Gas.
FLAMES RAGE IN THE MINE.
In Past Years the Colliery Has Been
the Scene of Some Terrible
Catastrophes.

WILKESBARRE. Pa, Oct. 29.-By an
explosion OF gas this afternoon in shaft 3
OF the Lehigh and Wllkesbarr CONNER
cial Company's mine, six men were killed
and two injured. The dead are: William
R. Jones, fire boss; John w. Josephs, as
sistant mine foreman; Thomas Owens;
William Lacey, contractor; James Her
ring, Joseph Worth.
The injured: David Williams, laborer,
overcome by gas; John Davis, laborer,
overcome by gas and bruised on the body.
Six others were brought to the surface
uninjured.
When the explosion occurred William
Lacey. contractor, was at work in rock
tunnel, about mile from the foot of the
shaft, with thirteen men. Immediately
after the explosion rescuing gang was
organized by Fire Boss William r. Jones
and Foreman John Josephs. The men
proceeded down the shaft, Jones and
Josephs being far in advance. When about
one mile from the foot of the shaft they
stumbled over the bodies of Contractor
Lacey, Owens, Herring and Worth.
At this point Jones and Josephs were
overcome by black damp and fell dead in
their tracks. The other rescuers were
forced to beat hasty retreat, bringing
the bodies of Jones and Josephs with
them.
a few hours later the air current was
partly restored and the men were able 10
push their way into the tunnel, and at $50
they signaled that they had recovered the
bodies OF the four rock miners. The res
cuers, with the bodies, were brought to
the sur face shortly afterward.
There are several theories as to the
cause of the explosion. The mine is known
to be dangerous one and extra precau-
tions have always been taken to guard
against explosions. All the men at work
in the tunnel to-day carried safety lamps,
so it is not believed that the gas was ex-
ploded from a naked lamp The most
plausible theory is that the gas was ignited
by a blast.
The roof Of the fanhouse was blown off
and the building otherwise damaged. The
shock of the explosion was heard fully q
mile away. The mine is on fire, and will
cause the company much trouble and ex-
pense before the flames can be subdued.
In past years this collery has been the
scene of several bad explosions. The most
destructive occurred on Sunday, March 8,
1890, by which eight miners were burned
TO death in most horrible manner, and
two years ago some of the memb bers of the
New York Coal Exchange had a narrow
escape. A party of ten were on the car
riage and had been lowered a short dis
tance into the shaft when an explosion
took place near the foot. The carriage
was quickly hoisted out of the shaft just
in time to save the lives of the New
Workers.

OXFORD, MISS, Oct. ga terrific
cyclone passed through the eastern part of

their clothing blown away. The storm
passed through the edge of the town of

FURRY IN THE MONEY MARKET.
High Rates of Interest Paid BY Some New
York Specuiators tor Temporary
Loans.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. z9.-The re-
striction of accommodation by banks was
the chief factor in the money market
furry to-day. Loans have been called IN
in some instances in preparation for pos
sible demands. for funds over Sunday. At
the opening 10 per cent was bid for call
money in the Stock Exchange, and
although a few loans were made at that
figure there were no offers at any rate
and borrowers became more urgent in
their efforts to obtain accommodation, so
that shortly after noon money loaned at
so per cent In the afternoon banks that
had agreed to loan money in the morning
situation worse. and no money appeared
from any source when the rate reached 60
per cent.
Then was supplied part of the demand
at that figure. This had little effect, and
the rate quickly advanced 10 100 per cent,
that rate being paid on some loans to be
carried over until Wednesday. At the
extreme rate money for the hrsr time ap-
peared in large quantities.
Banks, however, loaned money freely to
regular customers at 6 per cent on the
basis of the volume of business done, but
were not disposed to furnish accommoda-
ton TO outsiders. The high rates for
money had but little effect on the prices
for stocks, and there was no excitement on
the exchange.
A leading bank president, in speaking
of the advance in money rates, said that
the people most eager to have their money
in hand, and have it IN the best money
that exists, are the smaller savings bank
depositors.
.tThese people," he said. "are losing
their interest on deposits while securing
their principal in gold. Bryan tells them
say they want gold.
Gold received TODAY per steamship Ha-
vel. amounting to $1,235.000, was all de-
posted by the houses receiving it with
the sub-treasury before noon. The action
of the bankers alluded to in placing their
gold with the Government to-day was re-
garded by many as an indication that this
and this theory was partly brought out by
a decrease in the demand for gold over
the counters of the bullion dealers.
