EXPLOSION IN MINE.
FIRE DAMP IN PENNSYLVANIA
CAUSES SIX DEATHS.
Seventy Men Entombed AZ = Result OF the
Explosion and For n Time it was
Thought All Were Lost.

Brownsville, Pa, July 26.-An ex-
plosion of gas and fire-damp occurred
Monday in the mine of the Redstone
Coal Oil and Gas company at Grind
stone, FIVE miles from here, in which
seventy men were entombed. Six men
were killed.
The explosion occurred just as the
miners were entering the pit by way
of the shaft, which is 24O feet deep.
Those who were in the mine, except
the six killed and injured, made their
escape by way of two other entrances.
There was great excitement when
the explosion occurred, and a large
crowd of women and children quickly
collected about the pit mouth, wailing
for those in the mine who might be
dead.
1t was several hours before the ex-
tent OF the disaster was known, as the
miners who escaped by the two exits
had to walk several miles to return to
the pit mouth. The explosion was
caused by fall in entry 10, which
drove an accumulation Of gas into
another entry, where it was ignited by
a digger's open lamp.

Seattle, Wash, July 3O.-The Times
prints what purports to be full and
uncensored list of fatalities in the
American army in the Philippines up
to June 2. The list was furnished by
Fred j. Eitel, representative OF the
Manila Freedom, who claims to have
obtained it from the records In the sur
geon generals Office at Manila. The
total number of fatalities is 1868
officers, $40 privates and IA civilians
attached to the army.
A remarkable feature Of the record
is found in the statement that the
number Of officers killed in battle is
out Of all proportion to the number OF
privates killed. On the other hand,
fewer officers died from disease, pro-
portionately, than privates.
Out of the twenty-three officers dead
sixteen were killed in action, two were
drowned and five died OF disease, as
follows: Typhoid one; meningitis,two;
rheumatism of heart, one; paralysis,
one.
OF the 600 privates, 294 died OF
wounds received in action, nine were
killed accidentally and twenty-three
were drowned; seven committed sui
eide; log died of typhoid ,eighty-nine Of
smallpox, forry-seven OF dysentery
twenty-eight of pneumonia, nineteen
OF malarial fever, and fourteen of men

his death in almost the first engage
ment in which he fought against his
country Speaking of this battle, Ser

the soldiers of the Second Oregon
drove his bayonet through the body Of
the traitor and lifted him up above his
head and held him there while the
soldiers shot him. The body was
thrown into trench and buried with
several Filipinos. We would have

WEYLER CALLED DOWN.
References Made to His Failure to subdue
the CubaDs


Madrid, July 2s.-The discussion of
the army bill in the senate Wednesday
led to an exciting scene. General
Weyler, arguing against any reduction
of the strength of the army, warned
the government that the present stu
alton made a revolution highly prob
able, since it had never been so easy
for the army and the people TO make
common cause. He, himself, had never
thought of heading rising, but it
must be confessed that revolutions
sometimes cleared the political atmos-
phere, and accomplished the work of
regeneration.
Senior Dato, minister of the interior,
replying, savagely censured General
Weyler, declaring that general who,
with 300, 900 men had failed to suppress
the Cuban rebellion, had no right 10
make such threats, and that any at
tempt at revolution, no matter by
whom, would be proceeded against with
the utmost rigor of the law.

of the commissioners, and have every
reason to believe he will live up to his

the situation:
UNLESS every demand of England be
complied with, there will be war.
This has been the intention of the gov
eminent from the outset. The gov
eminent has taken leaf out of
Kitchener's book and both the diplo-
matte campaign and the possible mill
tary one to follow will be of the most
positive and business-like character.
Every little detail of the campaign
has been mapped out. 1t will not be a
repetition of former fights with the
Beers. 1t will be rather campaign
the Soudan. Every point in the rear
will be made safe before an advance is
made.
in the coming conflict the whole
British empire will take part The
English volunteers have been sounded
and they are ready. Australia, New
Zealand, Canada and India have been
heard from, and will be called upon.
No chances will be taken and for every
particle of damage the Boer inflicts
contrary to the laws of civilized war
fare, he will be compelled to defray
the expense. This relates to the pos
