FRENCH CABINET CRISIS,
Sarrien, After Persistent Effort,
Is Unable to Form a
Ministry.
The Radicals Are IrreconciIable-Ru
mors That President Faure
Will Resign.

PARIS, FRANCE, April 26.-M. Sarrien,
who was requested by President Faure to
form Cabiret, held consultation with
Nm. Goblet, Gerville, Dujardin, Henri,
Ricard and Brisson this morning.
AT noon it was announced that NJ. Sar-
rien had requested President Faure to
allow him to defer his reply until O. clock
this evening. Later it was stated that NJ.
Sarrien had informed the President that
he was unable to form a conciliation Cabi-
net. M. Faure pressed him to continue
negotiations, but NJ. Sarrien replied that
he was convinced he could not succeed.
Nobody else has been summoned to the
Elysee. 1t is believed that Radical Cabi-
net, with M. Goblet at its head. is inevita-
bic, or that M. Constans or NJ. Dupuy will
be called upon to form a Ministry and the
Chambers be dissolved.

THIRTY DOOMED TO DIE,
Men Entombed in the Santa
Eulalia Mines Cannot Be
Reached.
Ten Bodies Have BEN Recovered
and Seven of the Rescued
Are Dying.

Ell PASO, Tex, April 26.-The latest
news of the catastrophe at the Santa Eula-
liza mines, Chihuahua, Mex, Thursday
night is to the effect that eighty-fve men
were working in the mines Thursday
when it caved in. burying alive sixty seven
of the men, all of whom were Mexicans.
Recently contracts were let to number
of Mexican miners and laborers to take
ore from the old workings at so much per
ton. In their eagerness to secure large
quantities of ore with the least labor
these contractors began tearing down the
ore pillars which supported the roof of the
mine.
They also cut away masses of ore that
had been left between the cham bers. Thus
weakened the ground began to give way at
2 o'clock in the morning and almost in
stantly sixty-seven of the men at work
underground were cut off from escape.
Governor Ahumada is on the ground
with large force of men working to re-
cover the buried miners. Thirty seven
men have been recovered, ten dead, seven
dying and twenty fatally hurt. At last &C
counts there were thirty men still in the
ruins with no hope of recovering them
alive.

MatabeleS Lured On to Death by
a Seeming Retreat of the
British.
WHITES LOSE BUT THREE MEN.
Gain Possession of the Surrounding
Hills and Then Retire to
the Stronghold.

LONDON, Eng, April 26.-The Colonial
Office has received a dispatch from Sir
Hercules Robinson, Governor of Cape Col
ony and British High Commissioner in
South Africa, confirming the United Press
report of the defeat of the Matabeles on
the Umgaza River by British force from
Buluwayo.
Governor Robinson forwarded a dis
patch dated Buluwayo yesterday stating
that sharp engagement had occurred on
the Umgaza River, four miles north of
Buluwayo. The rebels attacked the Brit
ish in force and both wings were thrown
forward for an enveloping movement. The
British advance parties retired with a
view TO inducing the Matabeles to cross
the river. The rebels believed that the
British were retreating and attempted to
follow them.
When they were within 300 yards of the
right wing of the British, fire was opened
upon them with Maxim guns and at the
same time the right flank advanced upon
them and drove them over the river. The
same tactics were followed by the lett
flank.
The rebels later made another attack,
but were again repulsed. The British
then advanced and inflicted heavy loss on
the rebels in the hills on the opposite
side OF the river. The British, after gain
ing complete possession of the field, re-
tired to Buluwayo. Their loss was only
three killed and six wounded.

MANY KILLED AND INJURED.
Hapless Victims Pinned Down by
Heavy Tim bers Lie for Hours
Before Rescued.

CLAY CENTER, KANs., April 26-A
cyclone of tremendous force sped through
Clay County late last night, dealing death
and destruction on every hand. AS far as
known twelve people were killed, nine
fatally injured and forty more or less
hurt. The known dead are: Frank Peter
son, Mrs. Frank Peterson. a child of the
Petersons, Mrs. Ole Naverson, Eli Belt
hazer, Mrs. Eli Belthazer, Julia Trim
bly,, J. S. Hazen, and grandchild
of Peter Anderson. A full list of the
injured is unobtainable as the doctors have
not returned from the scene of the disas-
ter. 1t is known, however, that every
member of the families of John Morris, f.
Welkin, Peter Anderson and Henry Gard
ner was hurt, and three of them have in
juries said to be fatal. A large number OF
horses and cattle were killed and the dam
age to farm property is immense.
The cyclone started about six miles
south of Clifton and went in north
easterly direction for twelve or fifteen
miles and then lost its force by spreading.
1t passed about half way between Clifton
and Morganville. It's track varied from
$50 yards to quarter of mile in width.
torn up or broken, fences leveled and hay
stacks blown in every direction. The
cyclone was followed by terrific rain
storm which lasted several hours, flooding
the devastated district.
There had been indications of a heavy
rain all day, with local showers, but no.
body expecled q storm. AS far as learned
the victims of the cyclone were in their
houses and most of them had retired. The
storm struck Peter Anderson's home at
$3.50 o'clock. This was about mile from
the starting point. The house was de-
molished in an instant.
Every member of the Anderson family
was injured. When they had extricated
themselves from the debris they discov-
cred that Anderson's grGndchild was miss
ing. The body of the child was found
this morning in ravine half-mile away.
Anderson alarmed the neighbors who
lived out of the track of the storm, and
search was commenced for victims, but
little headway was made in the rain.
Couriers were sent to Clifton and Morgan
vile for doctors, but it was daylight be-
fore they arrived. Many of the injured
lay all night pinned down by wreckage,
while others crawled or hobbled across the
country to neighboring houses. In sew
eral instances people were lifted into the
air by the cyclone and carried for dis
tance and then suddenly dropped.
IL Buildings also were lifted up and hurled
to the ground with terrific force.
The wife and daughter of John Morris
were reading when the shock came. The
house was destroyed. The women man

Long Pursuit of the Fugitives, Ending
in an Alteration and

ST. PAUL, MINI. April ga man
giving the name of G. III. Robinson
stepped off the eastbound train last even-
ing at Maple, Wis, and asked to be di-
rected to the house of one George Butler,
homesteader, living close by. Robinson
has been at Cripple Creek, Colo, ior the
past three months. On his return to
West Superior he found his home de-
serted, his wife and furniture gone.
In his wife's trunk he discovered letters
convincing him of liaison between his
wife and Butler. He traced his wife to
Duluth and found Butler had stored away
the household effects in his name. He
came to Maple to find Butler and the
whereabouts of the household effects.
Butler was met on the road carrying an
ak, and an alteration ensued, during
which Butler attacked Robinson, and
Robinson in self-defense fired four shots
at Butler. He then returned to Maple and
surrendered himself to the officers. No
trace of Butler can be found. Parties
have been securing the woods, but as yet
have not found him. 1t is believed Butler
lies mortally wounded and is being taken
care of by friends who refuse to disclose

CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, April
26.-John W. Riddle, American Charge
d 'Affaires, received advices Friday morn
ing from Iskanderoon that the Turkish
authorities refused to deliver Rev. George
Knapp, the American missionary who was
recently expelled from Bitlis on charges OF
sedition, and who was to come to this city
for trial, and were determined to send
him away from the country on the Euro
pean steamer that sailed from Iskanderoon
Friday evening.
Mr.. Riddle informed Sir Philip Currie,
the British EN- bassador, and M. Cambon,
the French Embassador, of the situation
and went to the Porte, where he showed
the written promise of Tewfik Pasha, the
Foreign Minister, to deliver Mr.. Knapp to
the American legation for trial. He ad-
vised Tewfik Pasha that it would be better
for him to keep this promise, and at the
same time telegraphed to the American
Consular agents at 1skanderoon and Mer-
sine to call for an American cruiser ii it
should be necessary to secure the delivery
of Mr.. Knapp. These open kilograms
frightened the authorities, and on Satur-
dag Mr.. Riddle received dispatches stating
that Mr.. Knapp had been released.

The victims of the tragedy were sons of
Squire Lawson Hills, one of the most
highly esteemed residents of Van Buren
County and for years leading member of
the County Court.
The crime for which the Hills brothers
were lynched was committed in 1894. Car

the mountains of Van Buren, County. and
who was supposed to have $1,000 in his
house, was attacked one evening in August
of that year about twilight by two men

was shot to death. and his daughter. who
struck one of the men on the arm with an
ak. was shot in the leg. The men finally
left without finding their booty, the money
having been thrown from the window into

KRUGEK'S DIPLOMACY.
His Reply to Chamberlain a Defiance Il
En0EGHd.

MS hcpfY 10 chamberlain q Oc1nnCe to
England.
LONDON, ENG, April 26.-The Times
will tomorrow publish a dispatch from
Pretoria, which says that President Kru-
gers reply, declining to visit England to
discuss Transvaal matters, is diplomatic
masterpiece. 1t declares that the Trans
vaal Government will not discuss reforms
with the British Government, on the
ground that Great Britain admittedly can
not interfere with the internal administra-
ton of the republic. Nevertheless, pri-
vate suggestions from the British Gov
ernment will always be considered.
The President adds that if the revision
of the convention of 1884 and the auper-
seding thereof by treaty of amity and
commerce containing a ''most favored
nation" clause cannot be discussed unless
the alleged grievances of the Uitlanders
are also discussed, the Transvaal would
prefer to leave matters as they are, and to
merely demand the payment of an indem-
nifty for DR.. Jameson raid. He intimates
that Great Britain can facilitate his going
to London by accepting the basis of dis
cussion he has already proposed.
The President frankly admits that the
TransVaal administration is capable of i'm
provement and that the Government is
not always right. He concludes by laying
stress on the patience and forbearance
that have been displayed by both sides,
and expressing the hope that wounded
feelings will be healed and friendly rela-
tions restored.
dispatch from Berlin says it is re-
ported Emperor William is extremely ir-
ritated by the speech made by Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain at the Constitu.
tional Club on Wednesday night last, in

PANIC NARROWLY AVERTRD.
Fire Alarms Greatly Encite Talnruge's
Large Congregation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April ga
second alarm of fire was turned in tonight
on account of what at first seemed to be an
extensive conhagration in the Equitable
building, opposite the First Congfega-
tionaI Church, where DR.. Talmage was
preaching to large congregation. 1t ap-
pears that the occupant of one of the
rooms in the Equita BILE building attempted
to burn in an open fireplace a quantity of
old papers. and these flaming up in an in
slant made an illumination that for a
while caused much alarm in the vicinity.
The great glare of the light and the rush
ing of the engine to the scene nearly
caused panic In the church. The alarm
was only momentary, however. The fire
did no other damage, and it was not nee
essary to get the engines into operation.

That He Is Insane.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, April %
Henry w. Bullock, the indianapolis at
torney or II. E. Holmes. the convicted
murderer of Benjamin Pietzel, arrived
here to-day. Asked about his connection
with the case he said:
sin December last Holmes wrote me
that he had never been able to gather any
evidence in his own behalf outside of
Philadelphia, that his letters to the West
had fallen by the way and that he wanted
to gather some facts at Indianapolis De-
troit and Chicago. My attorney here, Mr..
McCaffery, called on him frequen lily and
received the proper data, and we have sue
ceeded in securing considerable evidence
regarding his movements during the last
three years. We can locate him in Indian
apolis almost to an hour and trace him
and the Pietzel boys movements while
there"
1t is possible an effort viii be made to
convince the Governor of the probability
