IN A STORM OF BULLETS.

Trying to Locate Spanish Gunboat,
One Of Our Steam Launches Catches
it Hot.

steam launch from the United States re-
pair ship Vulcan, with the Marbleheads
launch has been doing patrol duty in the
narrows leading from the lower to the
upper bay, ventured too near the Span
ish fort just after daylight to-day, and
ran into a hornets nest. AS the result
of the mems anxiety to locate the small
Spanish gunboat Sandoval, which is
known to be in the vicinity of the fort
the Americans went quite a distance
beyond the patrol limits. and the Spanish
pickets located along the bluffs sudden
ly opened fire on the launch with MauseI
rifles, which was at once followed by
volleys from soldiers in the fort. The
launch replied with her one FOUNDER
but the firing of the Spaniards was en-
tirely too heavy for the little boat to
contend against, and she beat hurried
retreat.
Although the launch was under fire
for ten minutes, she was not hit once.

ELEVEN LIVES SNUFFED Ou1
IN WATER WORKS TUNNEL.
AN UNDERGROUND CORRIDOR OF DEATH
Patrick Vonzer and Martin McCauley Were the
First 10 Venture in After the Accident
but Were Nearly Suffocated
by Gas.

Cleveland, O., July 1.-THE lives of
eleven men were snuffed out this even
ing in the big water works tunnel that
is being constructed under the bottom of
Lake Erie, as result of an explosion
of gas.
Following are the names Of the killed:
John Parks, foreman, 81 years old and
single.
James Parks. brother of John, 80
years old and single.
John Fradey, an Italian, % years old

Gus Waltz. % years old, wife and

Frank Clements, married with several
children.
Frank Haney, married, aged %.
The tunnel is an immense affair, be-
ing projected outward from the
shore for Il distance of four and Il
half miles and it has been under CON
struction for more than a year. The
work has been attended with great diff
ficulty. About six weeks ago there was
an explosion of gas in the shore end OF
the big hole, which killed eight men and
injured Il number of others. Soon af-
terward big pocket of quick-sand was
struck and work was stopped for some
time. The contractors then asked per
mission to defect the course Of the tun
mel from the route fixed by the city en-
gineers. but it was refused. Work was
finally resumed and had progressed I'M
eventually until this evening, wher this
latest and most horrible accident came
The explosion occurred at a few min
utes before Z O'clock. but nobody will
ever be able to- tell what caused it or
how it happened, for every witness is
dead and the bodies are all lying where
they fell, six thousand feet out under
the lake. The only man i'll the tunnel
who escaped death is Con O'Donnell, n
lock tender. who was stationed 300 feet
from the shore. He heard the explosion
or series of explosions He says there
were ten of the shocks and the concuS-
sion was something terrible for it threw
him off his feet. and for hours he was in
such a dazed condition that he could
scarcely remember what had happened.
He finally CROPPED his way out and told
what had occurred.
Two men. Patrick Yonzer and Martin
McCauley. were the first to venture IN
the tunnel after the accident occurred.
They made their way 10 n lock 5000
feet from the shore. but were there over,
come by the gas and fell to the floor.
When they failed to return. young man
named James Clements. son of one of
the men killed. and who is employed as
a mule driver, went to their rescue He
found them almost unconscious. lying
over n mule cart. and succeeded il,
helping them to the well at the shore
end of the tunnel. The would-be res
cuers say that all the lights were out
beyond the 5000 feet lock and that
they could not go any further.

SAGASTA'S RESIGNATION.

spondent of the Times, telegraphine
Monday, says:
''Senor Sagasta went to the palace to-
day and rendered his resignation, and
that Of the Cabinet. 1t is said that he
advised the Queen Regent to appoint
new Cabinet, largely consisting of the
military element, which would not neces-
sarily mean the adoption of warlike
policy, but probably the reverse.
1T is generally expected that the
resignation will be accepted. but the re-
suit may possibly be merely a partial
reconstruction of the Cabinet. The Min
listers are now in council and Senior Sa.
gasta has doubtless communicated tc
them an account of his audience with

The Assault on Republicanism.

Any stranger reading the reports
OF the meetings of the so-called
Business Mems League would
naturally suppose that Pennsyl-
vania was an unsafe place to live
in. There are resolutions which
paint terrible state of affairs and
speeches which call men thieves
and charge them with nearly every
crime short of deliberate murder.
Here, for instance, is the principal
agitator of the association indulg-
ing in an arraignment which in
cludes "hideous and profane
orgies" the suspicious burning
of the Capitol" " Onslaught on the
treasury padded pay rolls"
"Grace church Scandals" "crime
so gross" "fraud SO palpable,"
and so on through columns of
invective until one would natur-
ally suppose that Pennsylvania,
instead of being the great and
proud state she is, is nothing but d
den of thieves.
And what does it all mean :?
Nothing on the face of the earth
except a political attack on the
Republican party, which, in all the
years of its management of the
State administration, has made the
magnificent record of accounting
faithfully for every penny. There
has never been q defalcatiOn to the

Honored the Rough Riders.

An officer of Colonel Roosevelt's
rough riders invited dozen of the
genuine cowboys of the regiment to
go to a Broadway theatre with him
last week. None of the soldiers
had any other clothes to wear for
the evening than his soiled uni
form, and it is probable that any
of them had ever been in New
York theatre before. When the
officer appeared at the box Office
and asked for seats for his men,
the ticket seller caught a glimpse
of the soiled uniforms and said:
81 can't sell you d seat as the
house is full, but you are welcome
to take your men in, and if they
can find any vacant seats, let them
take them"
The cavalrymen filed in and
stood up in the back of the theatre
for a few minutes. Then a man
who had an orchestra chair got up,
and, walking back to the soldiers,
took one of them by the arm and
led him to his seat. Other men in
ne audien followed this example
and in few minutes every rough
rider was not only seated, but en-
gagged in conversation with the
people around him. Those who
had seats near the soldiers asked
them all sorts of questions. Down
near the front of the house was
rough rider in his soiled uniform
seated between two women who
never seen him before, but were
evidently delighted at the oppor-
tunity of making his acquaintance.
Their escort had given up his seat
to the soldier, and they evidently
thought they had right to talk to
him. 1t is only fair to the cow
boys to say that the novelty of their
surroundings did not appear to
embarrass them in the least, and
their enjoyment of the evening was
marked.-N. Y. Sun.

Facts About Our Camps.

For weeks the newspapers have
been filled with complaints about
our various military camps. Some
of these reports were well founded
and many were grossly exaggerat-
ed. Yesterday we published the
report of General Boynton, man
whose word can be relied on. He
is veteran of the Civil War and a
newspaper man of wide experience.
He found the conditions at Camp
Thomas were satisfactory in most
respects. To-day we report an in
vestigation of Camp Meade by q
reporter who has visited camps all
over this country and Europe and
who states things exactly as he saw
them. That conditions have not
been ideal is apparent. That they
are improving is an unquestioned
fact. 1t is now seen that the selec
ton of the original camp sites was
a mistake but that was not foreseen.
Camp Thomas was selected because
it was in the South, and it was
supposed brief stay there would
help to inure men for the expected
Cuban campaign. Camp Alger
was selected because it was near
the capitol, but it proved to be less
satisfactory than had been origin
ally supposed.
That many of our men suffered
unnecessary hardships, that there
were deaths that might have been
prevented under ideal conditions,
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1898-09-08

Wonders have been accomplished.
and what has been done that s.!
praiseworthy should be taken into
consideration alongside of that
which is so deplorable. We cannot
conduct war as if it were a picnic.
We have done better than reason
ably could have been expected, but
we must do better next time. The
one lesson of the campaign is that
we must have a general staff Of
well-equipped men, so that in case
another war breaks out we shall
not have to learn all over what has
just been gained at so great a cost.

Ina New Field.

Carpet Bagger J. c. Sibley, after
having the prongs of defeat thrust
into him in the Erie-Crawford
district, has bobbed up again as
the Demo-Pop-Free Silver candi-
date in the 9th congressional dis
trict, composed of Warren, Nc
Kean, Venango and Cameron
counties.
TO the shrewd politician this
move on the part of "Honest
Joseph" was made clear when the
Oil City Derrick came out in a
leading editorial against the candi-
dacy of Hon. G. w. Stone, of
Warren.
The Derrick is the organ of the
Standard Oil Company, and Sibley
is one of it's members. Sibley's
suit against the Derrick, for libel,
is now explained.
1t will require more than "brass,
belly and brains" to pull "Honest
Joseph through and defeat Mr..
Stone. Sibley's refusal to be
candidate in this district caused
much wailing among the political
leg-pullers and roosters. But our
gain is the other districts loss.
Thus it comes to pass that Mr..
Sibley, for once in his political life,
is nominated in district wherein
he is a voter-away over in the
jungles where the whangdoodle
