THE COLOR4DO MINE DISASTER.
Conflicting Opinions as to the Number oi
 Victims-Cause of the Explosion.

Conflicting Opinions as to the Number of
 yictims-Cause of the Explosion.
 New Castle, Col, Feb. 19.-The man. agers of the Vulcan coal mine insist that the loss of life by the gas explosion is not as large as was at first reported, but there are apparently no hopes of finding a single survivor, according to the judgment of men who have been employed in the mine. It is thought that there were fully fifty men in the mine
 The Vulcan has always been a fruit fui source of disquiet to the Canon City Fuel company. Despite it's bad reputa- tion, the company maintains that if on- ly an explosion occurred that was not followed by fire, there were frequent places in the tunnels and drifts for the mer to seek refuge. But the violent surface disturbance does not tolerate the belief that any one is saved from the wreck, and miners have abandoned hope. The mine was running almost to the full capacity, owing to the fuel ar that has been waged in the west. Owing to the dangerous character of mine, the miners were not allowed, ac- cording to rule, to enter the slope with any matches in their possession, but the rule was not enforced.

AJoint venezu.lan Commission.

London, Feb. 19.-The Westminster Gazette publishes an article urging Lord Salisbury not to further delay the reply of Great Britain to the proposal to appoint a joint British and American Venezuelan commission.
 In the course of the article the Ga zette says that England is free to ac- cept the conciliation proposed by Am erica, in the was of which there is no obstacle except the possible objection of Venezuela to Great Britain and the United States taking the matter out of her hands and treating it as ques- ton between themselves. For Eng land, the Gazette things, there is great advantage in settling the question with the United States instead of Venezuela. If America claims the dispute as her own, she must assume the attendant liability of becoming surety for Vene- zuela. England, at least, has nothing to complain of.

Our Minister at Madrid.

Madrid, Feb. 19-The Heraldo says that MT. Hannis Taylor, United States minister here, has addressed curt note to the government, demanding an ex- planation in regard to a paper read before q geographical society by Senor Concas y Pulan, who commanded the carave1 Santa Maria. sent to the Unit ed States by Spain for exhibition at the worlds fair in Chicago The paper referred to purported to give the writ CTS impressions of America.
 The terms of MT. Taylors note, says the Heraldo are extremely offensive to the minister of marine, Admiral Ber- anger, who regards the demand as un- warranted as the paper to which MT. Taylor takes exceptions was read be- fore private society and was in no wise official.

The Star of Next Weeks Bill at the Won
 derIand.
 As announced in the Wonderland pro- gram, Manager Poli has great sur prise for the New Haven public to-day. Iii no less than the engagement of Mar ion Manola- M ason, always a favorite in New Haven, to appear as the star of next weeks bill at the Wonderland theater. She has appeared in this city number of times as the star of high class dramatic and operatic companies. For the last ten years she has appeared only in the high class legitimate houses, but a few months ago entered the vau- deville ranks, playing only in the vau- deville theaters of the best class. MT. Poh has been able, by the offer of large financial Inducements, to bring her to his Wonderland, where the leading vau- deville artist are all anxious to appear. There is no attraction open to vaude- vile managers, no matter how costly, that Mir Poli hesitates to offer his peo- pie, and the engagement of Marion Manola- Mason is an indication of his laudable enterprise.

OTHER REPORTS.

The report of William E. Morgan of this city, assistant quartermaster gen. eral, shows among other things: The financial standing of the department is fully set forth in the statement of Am nual Account Current for 1895. The cash on hand January 1, 1896, in the treasury of, each post is shown in the tabulated Department Statement" making the total $25, ,725 55 in the post fund and S54, ,597.95 in the relief fund, and there was expended from both funds during the year SC, ,971. .32 for char ity. They also have $32,717 invested in furniture, flags and post room property and twelve posts own real estate val ued at $51, ,455.5S.
 May I once more suggest to the posts of the department the importance of electing competent quarterrnasters and also comrades who will see that reports are promptly made and forwarded to the assistant adjutant general.
 Department Commander Druly says: It is a matter of congratulation that Memorial Sunday was so generally and devoutly observed and that all Christi ian bodies are united in this sacred ob- servance. Reports of service have been received in which the following church. es have been mentioned, to wit: Bap- tist, Christian, Congregationalist, Epis-
 copal, Lutheran. Methodist, Roman Catholic, Unitarian and Universalist. The medical director, Dr. w. H. Rob- inson, says: The number of deaths in the department for the year ending De-
 cember 3l, 1895, were 121, which l think Is considerably less than for the last four or more years.
 At the Soldiers Home at Noroton there were g deaths reported, of which number died while absent from the
 Home.
 Over SO per cent. died of diseases of the heart and respitory organs induced,
 without doubt, by the hard campaigns
 and forced marches of thirty years and | more ago, making true the maxim of Benjamin Franklin that the abuse and inconsistencies of youth are drafts upon old age payable thirty years after date.
 The number present at the Home for
 the year ending December 31, 1895, was 514, of which the average was sixty two years. The average sick in the
 Home hospital was 57. In other hospi- letiS All lllt s5lGle WHICH StNeS Zo.DO

 LAST NIGHTS DISPATCH. Norwich. Feb. 19.-The 300 delegates present attending the twenty ninth an-
 nual encampment of the c. A. R. of Connecticut pronounced it this after
 noon as the most successful in the his-
 tory of the Grand Army of the state.
 In expressing himself concerning it one of the officers said tonight:
 T presume it is because the boys are all growing old.er and because the big battles we fought together are farther
 back in history that we are drawn more closely together, and as we come around
 at each annual encampment and real
 ize that the faces We fought with side
 by side are fast passing over to the
 great majority, that the bond of sym pathy and of comradeship becomes even

more strengthened than in the days of biVouac and battle nearly forty years ago." He continued that although the numbers decreased each year because of death the attendance was more than held good, and that every event was participated in with the keenest of in terest, he believed, by every man pres ent.
 VETERANS GO SIGHT SEEING,
 At the end of the afternoon session, which was held in Lucas hall, large number of the veterans took the trolley cars or carriages for sight seeing. In their uniforms the town had the ap- pearance of being under military con trol as the veterans made decidedly imposing appearance as they scattered in every direction over the city. The reports rendered by the officers to-day have received much approval, particu- larly that of the inspector, Bevins. Those exhaustive reports covered the conditions of all the Grand Army posts in the state. In general they were re- ported in the most healthy and enter prising condition, though one or two exceptions were noted where the posts were small, and some lack of harmony had been created. Throughout the day more or less electioneering has been done, but it has been carried on very quietly.
 THE NEXT COMMANDER - THE
 CAMP FIRE
 It is intimated this evening that Os- car w. Cornish of Waterbury will prob ably be elected department commander at to-morrow's session. The Wauregan house has been overrun with guests and some are Quartered with friends or at the smaller hotels. All the promi- nent speakers for the camp fire arrived according to schedule, including Presi- dent Bradford F. Raymond of Wes- leyan university, Judge Torrance of Derby and Congressman Charles A. Russell. The Broadway theater was decorated with national emblems and the insignia of the G. A. R. from one end to the other and Gales orchestra furnished music. The theater boxes were given up entirely to the officers, executive staff and ladies of the Wo- mems Relief corps of the department, At TAB General Walker and the de- PStl SliiClil OlHCelS ullC oldll WSiS GStol V ed from the Wauregan house to the Broadway theater Tubb's band lead the procession, and was followed by SedgWick post, commanded by Senior Vice Commander Kampf, and the recep- ton committee of thirty, under direc- tion of Commander Gallop of the post. The camp fire was intensely patriotic. Commander L. A. Gallop of the Sedge- wick post acted as toastmaster. After prayer by Chaplain T. c. Druley, Mayor Harwood of Norwich made an address of welcome. It was responded to by Comrade A. B. Beers. The other notable speakers followed according to program previously announced. The theater was crowded to it's doors, and it was estimated that one time fully 1000 people were in attendance. Re- treatments were a part of the camp | fire in which the ladies assisted in the serving It was not expected the Vets would break up until very early hour.
