THE ONLY HOPE.

Tonight Mine Inspector James Bllck
said:
IT would not like to say there IS no
hope for the men in the pit but I doubt
whether single one remains alive.
The men, IL alive, can live for two or
three days without food In addition to
what they may have taken in their
dinner buckets, but the main point Is
IL they have air. The fan Is running,
but the big part Of the mine remains
unventilated. and is probably still
choked with deadly after damp, in
which no human being can live"
One OF the mine officials who sC01t
almost the entire day working in the
pit said:
The havoc wrought IS almost COM
plete, and 1 have little hope that the
wrecked beyond recognition and piled
on each other"
No complete list OF the dead can be
compiled tonight. The managers of
the mines have the payroll. but 1t has
been impossible for them to discover all
the survivors. But there is n general
agreement that from 80 to 30 men are
entombed. About one-half are Ameri-
cans and the balance are Hungarians Or
SlavS.
LIST AS OBTAINED.
The list as obtained Is as follows:
Joseph II. Wagurer. single, has moth
er and sister.
Joseph Butschme. 40, wife and three
children.
Peter Dyes, SO, has five children.
Albert NIeese, Il, died after rescue;
was trapper boy. and badly cut and
burned.
Samuel Meese his father. pit boss.
Henry Hager, 80, wife and children.
James Thomas, married
Among the fourteen brought out by
the rescuers on their first trip were
Joseph Meese, driver, badly burned on
face and body
Harry Atwood, badly burned.
Soon after the extent of the accident
became known undertakers were sum-
moned from Brownsville.

Mayor of TOrquay Sends Secretary
Long an Invitation.

Washington, Jan 26.-Secretary Long
has received the following invitation:
Mayors Parlours Torquay, Jan. lO-To
the Hon. John D. Long, Secretary of the
Navy, Washington, U. S. A.:
Sir-Having learned through the medium
of the press that England is to be favored
with visit from a squadron of the navy
of the United States of America in June
next, | have the honor to offer on behalf
of the town of Torquay a most cordial in
vitation to that squadron to include Tor
quay in the list of places to be visited on
on that occasion.
'As evidence of the safety and suitable
ity of Torquay for even the largest vessels
in your country's magnificent navy, may
mention that divisions of the English fleet
are generally to be found in our bay.
Il congratulate your country upon the
recent achievements of the fleets under
the command of Admirals Sampson and
Dewey, and 1 rejoice that the bonds of
friendship between the citizens of the
United States and the mother country con-
tinue to strengthen.
l am proud to think that from the west
country of this island were sent forth some
of the earliest and most successful voy-
ages of discovery to the American con-
priateness in the fact that a neighboring
port was the final place of departure of
the Pilgrim fathers about three centuries
ago.
In conclusion, would add that should a
United States fleet favor the town have
the honor to represent with visit, a right
hearty welcome will be accorded to them
and no effort shall be wanting on our part
TO insure your feet a suitable reception
whilst / am certain that the beauty of
our town and neighborhood would be duly
appreciated by our visitors. 1 am, sir,
your most obedient servant.
William Beavis, Mayor
The Secretary of the Navy replied to
the letter thanking Mayor Beavis for his
kind words, and stating that no arrange
ments had yet been made for sending a
squadron to European waters, although
they undoubtedly would be made at a
later day in that event he would bear
the invitation in mind.

JAUDENEz SENT TO JAIL.
Sagasta Gives Reasons for Conven-
ing the Cortes at Once.

Madrid. Jan. 26-The cabinet met this
afternoon under the presidency of the
Queen Regent.
The absence of Gen. Corea, the minister
of war, was much commented on, and is
believed to have been connected with a
decision, not yet divulged, reached by the
supreme military tribunal relative to Gen.
Jaudenez the Spanish commander who
capitulated at Manila. and who has been
in prison since yesterday, and Gen. Toral
who capitulated at Santiago dc Cuba, and
who is absent from Madrid.
Tho premier, Senior Sagasta, outlined the
governments intentions relative to the
peace treaty He said that Information
received by the minister Of foreign affairs
Duke Almodovar de Rio, had created the
impression that President Mckinley feared
the treaty would be defeated in the Senate,
and he apprehended an obstinate resistance
upon the part of the Philippine insurgents Is
against the Americans who desire to de-
prive them of independence and debase the
Spanish government which are sufficient
reasons for the triumph of the anti-annex-
ationIsts in the Senate Therefore, the
premier insisted that the convocation of
the Corts should no longer be delayed.
The cabinet met again this evening. Se-
nor Sagasta presiding. Ii appears that the
evidence before the court-martial showed
that Gen. Jaudenez had sufficient ammuni-
ton and food to have enabled him 10 resist
longer The court ordered his arrest.
whereupon he surrendered himself, attired
in civilian dress and accompanied by his
son and several ministers of state. Gen
Correa confirmed the arrest
1t is reported that the court-martial will
eXonerate Gen. Toral on The ground that
ne acted under superior Instructions, but
that Admiral Montejo, who was defeated
by Admiral Dewey at Cavte. viii be tried
for the incompetent condition of his fleet.
The newspapers assert also that Admiral

AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.
Suit to Recover Money for Golfers
Not Delivered.

Not Delivered.
London, Jan. 26-Justice Bigham, in the
Queens Bench division of the High Court
of Justice, to-day decided in favor of
Pelley Brothers, the ship brokers, in the
suit Of the United States against them to
recover II. 800 paid to tbe brokers on April
21, 1898, on two 500 ton Golfers, by Lieut..
Sims, who was then acting naval attache
of the United States embassy in London,
that amount being 10 per cent. of the
total sum, f5S,OO0, for which the ship
brokers agreed on April q to deliver the
golfers.
1t was claimed on behalf of the United
States that Pelley Brothers, according to
the contract, were to deliver the golfers
"as soon as possible" and that they prom
ised verbally that one of them was to be
ready 10 sail in twenty-four hours, and the
other in forty-eight hours, but they failed
to deliver the ships before the neutrality
proclamation of April 26, claiming they
were unable TO get them ready In time to
do so.
The case hinged on whether a state of
war existed on April 22 when the owners
ceased their preparations to fit out the
ships They testified that they sounded
the foreign office on the subject and were
informed that they might be liable under
the foreign enlistment act. If they car
ried out their contract.
The justice said they did what he hoped
any English gentlemen would do under
the circumstances. He himself believed
that war existed on April q, and there
was no ground TO insinuate that the brok-
ers acter in bad faith. They were enti-
lied TO keep the money under a clause Of
the contract, which provided that it should
be retained, if a state of war prevented
the delivering of the ships.

successful, and the size of the infantry
companies may be reduced.
