THB CARBANADO HORROR
Two Miners Only Are Recovered From
the Depths.

Carbonado, Wash, Dec. 1O.-Stunned
by the suddenness of the mine horror,
the people here seem too dazed for any
expression of grief Of a demonstrative
nature. Thirty-two is the number of
dead. AS by miracle, two men were
rescued at 5 o'clock this morning, after
suffering an awful night, entombed in
the dark, cavernous chamber of hor-
rors. Almost moclzing the doleful sit
uation, one Of the men, Peter NJ. Erp
proudly slapped himself on the breast
as he emerged from the mouth of the
main tunnel, calculating, Peters all
right; how's my dogs?"
In painful contrast to him was the
other fortunate, named Michael Knish.
a Pole. So sickened had he been by
the air that he could hardly find his
voice, and what utterances he did give
vent to were born of delirium. Later
in the day Knish said: Il was work.

That was the telltale messenger of
his period of consciousness. All he
knew was that an explosion had oc-

over eighteen hours and had not the
least conception of this length OF time
On the other hand Peter, the French
man, had been blindly cropping around
in the darkness for most of the night
on his hands and knees, seeking for
some avenue of escape. Save these two
men, the death list remains the same.

NEW YORK FOR GOLD
States Delegation to Congress, Even
Tammany's, May Split Over It.

New York, Dec. Ex-senator Pat Nc
Carren, who went to Washington last
week and remained there long enough
to see the Hon William Sulzer not
elected to the minority leadership of
the house. returned to Brooklyn yes
terday. Mr.. McCarren is quoted as
making this statement:
THE New York state democracy is
firmly welded to the gold standard At
the next meeting of the democratic
caucus, which will probably be held
next week, a communication will be
received bearing the signatures of
pretty nearly all the New York state
congressman declaring themselves un-
alterably opposed to the free COIN
age of silver at 16 to l, and they will
inform the caucus that while they are
anxious to cement democratic union
and are willing to be guided by the
caucus on all other matters, they are
absolutely welded to a single gold
standard"
The senator then said that six of
the democratic egation-Scudder of
Queens, Underhin of Westchester. and
Mcclellan. Chandler. Levy and Rup-
pert of New York-had already signed
the communication, for the purpose of
showing that they represented the bus
mess interests of New York.
Tammany Hall men said last night
that Mr. McCarren had disclosed a pur-
pose of the democratic delegation
which was unknown to them. 1t was
asserted that if it was the intention
of the congressman to sign such
communication, nothing had been said
about it in New York. Mr.. McCarren
did not mention the names of Con-
gresham Muller of Richmond, Rior-
dan, Cummings or Sulzer. 1t was de-
clared last night, however, that the
New York delegation of democrats
when it departed for Washington had
no plan to split up and lose it's in
fluence.

Only enlisted'men were reported

ped as deserted were still at large.
Many of them escaped. from the is
lands" General Otis says, but this de-
sertion list includes men who absented
themselves from their companies with
out permission and carelessly wandered
beyond our lines into the enemy's
country. These possibly aggregated
so or 40. a few men who had been
discovered as former deserters from
the army again deserted direct to the
enemy, and some OF them, it is ru-

Over Five Hundred British
Are Missing.
ENGLISH FORCES RETREAT
G atacre's Column, 1000 Strong, Led
Into Ambush by Boer Tactics-No
Particulars Given But a Serious
Reverse is Admitted Many Guns
and Ammunition Probably Secured
by the Beers.

Molteno, Cape Town, Dec. 10.-Gen-
eral Gatacre left Sputter's krall by
train for Molteno and then proceeded
by forced march twelve miles toward
Stormberg. He had 1000 men, in
Guiding the Northumberland Fusileers,
the Royal Irish rifles and two batter
les of field artillery. The British were
unmolested by the Beers until the
Boer position was reached, when hot
fire was unexpectedly opened upon the
advancing column. The engagement
began at Ais a. m. At I a. m, after a
sharp artillery duel, the British retired.
They are now marching toward Mol
teno. General Gatacre found the en-
emy's position impregnable. 1t was
impossible for the British infantry to
get at the Beers.
The column arrived safely within a
couple of miles of it's destination, the
only incidents of the march being an
occasional sudden call of Haiti un-
der the belief that the Beers were
near. Suddenly a terrific fire opened
simultaneously on the British front
and right. The Royal Irish rifles,
which formed the advance, sought
shelter behind a neighboring kopje
and were speedily Joined by the re-
mainder of the column.
1t was soon found, however, that this
position also was covered by the Boer
guns, which were more powerful than
had been supposed. The troops there
fore sought safer place about a half
a mile away, two batteries in the
meantime engaging the Beers and COW
ering the troops in their withdrawal.
The action now became general at long
range and detachment of mounted
infantry moved northward with the
view of getting on the enemy's right
flank. Suddenly a strong commando
was seen moving from the north and
the Royal Irish rifles and the Northum-
berland regiment were sent out to meet
it. 1t was soon discovered, however,
that the Beers had machine guns we'll
placed and the British We're compelled
to face terrible fire. Finding it i'm
possible to hold the position in the face
of an enemy apparently superior in po-
sition, numbers and artillery, the Brit
ish retired on Molteno, the Beers fol-
lowing up the retirement closely and
bringing two big guns to bear on the
retiring column. 1t is believed here
serious.

BUILDING TRADES CRISIS
NewY orkC Commercial Anticipates War
Between Employers and Unions.

New York, Dec. 10 The New York
Commercial says that there is going to
be big war between the labor unions
interested in the building trades and
the builders and contractors. beginning
the first Of the year. The Commercial
prints Disqualification St Louis, Phil
adelphia, Chicago, Pittsburg and Bos-
ton confirming this statement. The
dispatch from st. Louis says that there
have been several meetings of en-
ployers within the last few days ar
ranging for cooperation when the
trouble comes, and these employers
have agreed to close their works abso-
lutely for thirty days or longer if nee
essary.
The Commercials dispatch from
Philadelphia says that John s. Stevens,
the president of the National Associa-
tion of Builders, had called a special
convention of the members, to be held
in Washington in February. The storm
center of the trouble, according to the
dispatches, viii be Chicago, where the
building contractors council has
taken decisive action against the
unions. The council holds that the
unions are responsible for the duIlness
in building operations and asserts that
things have come to such a pass that
it is necessary to fight them or go out
OF business. According to reports all
branches Of the building trades may
be involved, even to the men who cut
the stone. The granite cutters union
of New England, the Boston dispatch
says, has served notice already on the
manufacturers that on the expiration
of their contract March l, 1900. they
will demand a new scale of wages.
Their demands will include an eight
hour day with a minimum wage of SO,
and the manufacturers, the dispatch
says, will resist the demand.

THE PING sUEY's BIG CARGO
Largest Consignment Ever Received
on the East Coast. -

New York, Dec. 1O-The big
cargo that ever came from China
an American port on the Atlantic c
arrived today on the new steamer Ping
Suey. Not only is the Ping Suey, big
cargo carrier, but she is also fast, COM
ing from the farther end of the Suez
canal in twenty-five days. This, too,
with a call at Algiers. The steamer
reached quarantine at o'clock, and,
although she bore clean bills of health
from all the ports she touched at
Health officer Doty decided to hold
her for a few hours. This has been
thought necessary in the cases of
craft from oriental ports since the bu-
bonic plague scare began. The Ping
Suey will dock at Woodruff's stores,
Brooklyn, tomorrow morning.
The steamer brings a general cargo
but one Of her consignments is $4,000
packages of teas, partly new crop.
She has in addition hundreds of tons
of fire crackers, mating, tin from Sing
apore, gamble, curios without number
and many animals. 1t was the inten-
ton of the agents, Shewan, Tones 81
Co., Of No. 16 Beaver street, to dock
the vessel this afternoon, but because
of her immense draught the tide did
not suit. The skipper of the Ping
Suey is Captain De la Parelia, and the
crew numbers seventy-five men, most
ly Lascars and Cingalese. She has a
net tonnage of 4,150.
The Ping Snuey has been chartered
to load grain at Philadelphia for Rot
terdam, and will be the biggest vessel
that ever went up the Delaware. Phil
adelphia shipping men are looking for
ward to her coming with a great deal
of interest.

prisoners in the hands of the Beers,
that a supplementary list of casualties
is awaited with serious misgivings.
1t is also feared that there were seri-
Gus losses of guns and equipment. The
serious aspect of affairs is the effect
it is likely to have on the Dutch in
Cape Colony, who have been wavering
as to whether or not to throw their lot
with the Beers. Hosts of the north
ern farmers are now likely to join the
rebellion. The defeat is also serious
because it will delay a junction of Cen
eral Gatacre with General French at
Naauwpoort. The plan was for their
combined forces to relieve the pressure
OF Lord Methuen's column. The dis
closure of such a strong force at Storm
berg was quite unexpected. Doubtless
General Gatacre was the victim of
treacherous guides, but the results
point also to the absence of proper cav
airy scouting.
The British troops who recently oc-
cupied Arundel. are advancing. They
had several skirmishes, but no casual
ties. Three miles north of Arundel
they found the Beers 1000 strong.
Pretoria reports of renewed fighting
at the Modder river originated from
the fact that the British with a team
of thirty-two oxen, hauled the naval
gun to the top of a high ridge north
of the Modder river town, whence they
fired Lyddite shells on the Beers po-
sition at a range of $500 yards, where
the enemy was apparently constructing
an emplacement for forty-pounders,
The lyddite shells appeared to do i'm
mense damage. The Beers retired, but
the incident is interesting as showing
that the Beers are still in a position
quite close to the Modder river. The
engineers report that it would take two
months to build an iron bridge. Lord
Methuen is still compelled to ride about
in a dog cart, as his wound prevents
him from going on horseback.

Washington, Dec. TO- This week
does not promise to be a busy one in
the senate, the indications being for
routine business and short sessions in
ton for future work in the committee
rooms. Senator Mason will open the
week with a speech on his resolution
declaring the sympathy of this country
with the Beers in their war with Great
Britain. There may be other brief
speeches upon this and other questions,
though there is a general disposition
on the part of the senators to postph
speech making until after the holiday
Republican senators generally fe
that the most important work for the
present is to secure the reorganization
of committees, especially the finance
committee, as a preliminary to other
work An effort will be made TO COM
plete the reorganization during the
present week. The finance committee
may meet on Tuesday for a prelimi-
nary consideration of the finance bill,
but this is not yet decided upon. The
expectation is now that this bill Will
not be taken up in the senate until af-
ter the Christmas holidays. The COM
mittee on foreign relations will take
up reciprocities on Wednesday. The
committee on privileges and elections
will consider the tests over senatorial
seats in a desultory way, but the real
work on these will not begin until Sat
urday, when opposing counsel will be
heard in the Quay case.

IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, Dec. 1O-The house will
devote the week entirely to a financial
debate on the currency bill under the
terms of the special order adopted on

day the bill will be read, para graph by

taken until the following Monday
The debate will probably cover a wide
range, including a general refreshing
of the campaign issue of 1895, and there
may be some stormy incidents. Re
pubIcans are arrayed soIidly for the
bill, but many of them, who have never
advocated the gold standard, doubtless
will have to take the floor to explain
their change of position. On the dem
ocratic side, some OF the members are
reported as favoring the bill, but there
has been no canvass made as yet and
it remains to be seen how many of
them will join the republicans upon
this measure. Represen entative Over.

CUBAN'S SUPPLY OF GUNS
Gets Permission to Ship $4,000 Rifles
to Columbia.

Havana, Dec. 10-At a meeting today
| of the Emiliano Nunez club General
Maxine Gomez, Seror Cisneros and
General Lacret were present. Senior
Caballero said the Cubans had need to
hold together, and that fears were
very natural, regarding THE United
States not fulfilling it's promises. He
added that he hoped the United States
would not break it's word, but he was
not sure that it would not do so. Senior
Sarrainz said that the presence of Cis-
neros, Lacret and General Gomez
showed that there was reconciliation
between those who had formerly been
separated by difference of opinion, and
that they were now Joined together for
the good of the country. General Co
mez said that the war was over, and
that it was now time for all to unite
to accomplish the aims of the revolu-
ton. Senior Sarainz then proposed a
speaking warmly of the friendship now
existing between them. The three
chiefs embraced and shed tears.
An application to permit the ship
ment of 1900 Remington rifles and
100000 rounds of ammunition from
Cienfuegos for the Colombian govern
ment was granted by General Brooke.
The rifles and ammunition are the
property of a Cuban named Domingo
Nazabel 1t is not known how he OBJ
tanned possession of sucn quantities of
war material, and a rigid investigation
will be made, especially as it is ru-
mored that there are many stands of
arms at various places in the island.
1t is stated that women are employed
in manufacturing cartridges.
General Lacret and a number of
other Cuban generals went today to-
Batabano to visit the widow of Gen
eral Maceo. Their visit was the oc-
casion of a patriotic demonstration.
General Lacret said he was glad to see
the Spanish club represented. Cubans
and Spaniards were of the same race
and they should be friends.
