The Coal Ming Tragedy.

Brownsville, Pa, Dec. 25.-The hor-
ror of the Braznell mine disaster grows
in Intensity with every hour. The
number of the dead is now estimated
at forty and may pass that figure. At the
same time there is a strong presump-
ton that the laws regulating mining
We're carelessly and probably criminal
ly disregarded.
To-day the first bodies of the victims
We're brought out of the mine, and new
er in the history of mine disasters We're
human beings SO horribly mutilated. 1t
was nearly IL O'Clock before the first
five bodies were taken out, twenty
eight hours after the explosion. AT
$50 three more were brought TO the
surface. and again at 6:30 three more
came up in the cage of the main shaft.
That naked lights and unlocked safe
ty lamps were used in a dangerous
mine was officially confirmed by Pit
Boss Thomas Jones. who made a state
ment which forms the most sensational
chapter on zthel-management of the
mines which has yet developed.

Kansas City, Dec. 23.-A mass meet
ing of the shippers and jobbers of the
Missouri river towns, to take steps
to resist the advance in railroad freight
rates, announced to take effect the 1st
of January, has been called by the To-
cal transportation bureau. The meet
ing will be held in this city at the rooms
of the Commercial Club on December
9th. The commercial clubs of Omaha,
st. Joseph, Atchison and Leavenworth
have already taken similar action and
many individual merchants have al
ready given their Endorsement to this
movement.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The State De-
partment has received from the Penn
sylvania Milling Company of New
York, statement of the facts touching
the seizure of two cargoes of flour be-
longing to that concern bound for Por-
tuguese ports in East Africa. The seiz-
ures We're made by British warships on
the ground that the flour was intended
for the Beers. The company's letter,
is presentation of the case without
protest and is evidently intended to
serve as basis of claim for pecun-
iary damages against the British gov
ernment.

Chicago, Dec. 26.-"If the war in the

months longer, the cause of silver viii

States Senator Dubois of Idaho, one
of the Silver Republican leaders, who
was in Chicago to-day.
The short time it has been in pro

nished proof of the contentious of the
friends of silver that there is not
enough gold in the world to form the
basis of the worlds money, and IL the

have indicated, the truth of this will
have become too apparent for sue
cessful contravention.
II believe the Transvaal war will be
a mighty influence in the campaign OF

people of this country that it is not
safe to place on gold the entire burden

BRITISH HORSES DYING.
Boers Smelling Ladysmith-British Destroy
n Bridge Over the Tugela-

London, Dec. 26.-Up to this hour
nothing has arrived from South Africa
that would indicate any change In the
military situation there. The war Of
flee is issuing lists of further dead and
wounded as well as accounts of sick
ness. The most serious report of the
last class is that horse sickness has
broken out in both British and Boer
camps in Natal.
-Four hundred British cavalry horses,
II is said, have already been shot,
owing TO the occurrence of glanders.
The disease is likely to spread with
much greater rapidity among the Brit
ish horses than among the hardy Boer
ponies, and this may mean con-
siderable prolongation of the campaign.
THE British position at Frere Is
being strengthened. The Tugela river
Is rising and there is a prospect OF
heavy rains.
"A two-hour bombardment Of Lady
smith has been heard from here. Ac-
cording TO reliable native reports the
Beers had 200 killed in the fight at
Colenso.'
The news that the Colenso foot
bridge has been destroyed seems to
show that General Butler Is more
anxious to keep the enemy at bay than
to attempt further advance.
Despite the severity of the censor
ship. hints are being continually re-
ceived of the serious spread of Dutch
dissaffection in both the Queenstown
district OF Cape Colony and Natal.

spread CONSERVATION among the Gus
toms employees to-day by arrestiug ten
inspectors In a bunch. The doors of
the custom house were closed and nc
one was allowed to enter or leave
until the arrests had been made. Col
lector Bliss has made many individ
ual dismissals, but heretofore has been
unable TO confirm his suspicion that
eollusion existed among the employees.
TO-day's arrests Indicate that he has
reached a basis which indicates the
existence of n conspiracy between the
Havana customs brokers and the dis
honest employees. They are upset by
to-day's Developments, and IL is posi-
Bile that the arrest OF inspectors will
enable some customs frauds TO be
traced back to the shippers.
The charge against the arrested men
Is that OF swindling by means of n
classification of articles under which
valuable goods went Into cheap classes.
II Is said many merchants are likely to
be arrested within the next few days.
Those arrested belong to aristocratic
families and they were much incensed

Rock Slide Causes Death.

Rome. Dec. 23.-A terrible disaster
took place this afternoon at Amalfi,
the populous tourist resort on the Gulf
of Calerno. About . o'clock an enor.
nous rock, upon which stood the Capu-
cIni hotel, slid bodily into the sea with
a ieafening roar and without a mo-
ment's warning, carrying with it the
hotel, the old Capuchian monastery be-
low. the Hotel Santa Celerina and sew
eral villas.
Many people were buried in the de-
pris, which crushed four vessels to
the bottom of the sea, destroying their
crews. The mass of earth which
slipped was about $4,000 cubic yards.
The population is in a state of ter
ror, fearing fresh calamities. Troops
have arrived upon the scene and have
begun rescue ~crs-
II is believed that the loss of life is
heavy, including number of monks
and the occupants of the hotel. As yet
it is impossible to ascertain the exact
number.

Cubaus Reassured.

Havana, Dec. 26.-The events of the
last few days have had great effect
on Cuban politics. The circumstances
attending the arrival of General Wood
and the departure of General Brooke,
taken with the speech of the former
at the farewell banquet to the latter in
which the intentions of the United
States government We're restated, have
satisfied the Cubans that Cuba will GER
tainly be independent within reason
able time.
More than this, the arrival and pub
lie and private utterances of Horatfo,
Rubens have increased the restful feel
ing that now apparently exists among
all classes. Mr.. Rubens has, without
doubt, considerable influence. Wher-
ever he goes he Is cheered by the
people. His room at the hotel is
thronged with Cuban officials seeking
an interview, and altogether he is re-
garded somewhat in the light of an
oracle.

More petan. Of Amnla disaster.

Rome, Dec. 26.-Among those killed
in the Amalf disaster were Miss Weir,
daughter of James Galloway Weir,
member of the British House of Com
mons for Ross and Cromarty, and her
goyerness. They had escaped, but re
turning for their valuables, were killed
together.
1t now develops that some earth
tremors and other premonitions en-
abled many people to get away before
the catastrophe occurred. The mayor
of Amalti declares his belief that the
landslide was due to the fact that
huge fissure, left after a similar slip
ten years ago, had been carelessly
filed with faggots and pieces of tim
Der. This had always been considered
a source of danger.
The Hotel Santa CATERING was COM
pletely buried and other buildings are
in ruins.
The peasants, fearing further land
slides, refuse to return to their homes.

suit OF Oyerwork.
East Northfield, Mass, Dec. 23.-
Dwight l.. Moody, the evangelist,
whose fame was worldwide, died at
MS nome here at noon yesterday. His
family We're gathered at his bedside
and the dying mans last moments
We're spent in comforting them.
Early in the day Mr., Moody realized
the end was not far off and talked
with his family at intervals, being
conscious 10 the last except for few
fainting spells. Once he revived, and.
with wonderful display of strength
In his voice, said in a happy strain:
What's the matter? What's going
on here?''
One of the children replied: Father,
you have not been quite so well, and
so we came in to see you
little later Mr.. Moody talked quite
freely to his sons, saying:
Il have always been an ambitious
man, not ambitious to lay up wealth
but to leave you work to do, and you
are going to continue the work of the
schools in East Northfield and Mount
Herman and of the Chicago Bible In
stitute"
As the noon-day hour drew near the
watchers ut the bedside noted the ap.
proach Of death. Several times his
lips moved as If in prayer, but the
articulation was so faint that the
words could not be heard.
Just as death came Mr.. Moody
awoke as II from slumber and said
with much Joyousness:
Il see earth receding; heaven is open.
Ing; God Is calling me-" and a moment
later he expired.
The death Of Mr.. Moody was not
unexpected, although his temporary re.
coyery from illness was hoped for by
his relatives and friends. The cause
OF death was a general breakdown of
his health, due to overwork. His con.
stitution was that of an exceedingly
strong man, but his untiring labors
had gradually undermined his vitality
until that most delicate of organs, the
heart, showed signs of weakness.

GENERAL WOODS PLAN.
New Military Ruler VIII Begin Proposed
Reforms at Once.

Havana, Dec 26.-General Wood
says he intends to begin work at once
upon the highways, which are greatly
in need of repair. This will also serve
to give employment to large number
of men.
The school system will also be i'm
mediately reorganized. Alexis Frye,
superintendent of Cuban schools, will
be reinforced with two or three other
commissioners.
The judiciary will form the subject
of early attention, particularly the
5ails and the existing system of keep
Ing prisoners for months without trials.
An order will issue directing that
complete list of prisoners held for trial
be furnished monthly.
Senor Pierra says: IF the United
States really intend to fulfill the pledge
of the joint resolution and to hand
Cuba over to the Cubans, President
Mckinley should outline the basis on
which the Cubans could work in order
to form a government such as the
United States would consider ade-
quate. BY doing this he would confer
great benefit upon Cuba, as most of our
people are keenly desirous of doing
something toward forming a govern
ment, but are ignorant as to the best
way to proceed. The leaders also diff
fer among themselves. The existing
political parties were originally intend
ed to educate our people in political
methods, but owing to disagreements
between well meaning politicians, er-
roneous ideas are likely to be sown in
unframed minds. These ideas must
sooner or later be eradicated."
