TWENTY-FIVE PERSONS KILLED.
Heart-Rending Scenes About the
Mouth of the Shaft as the Bod
les Are Brought Out.

Raleigh, N. c., May 23.-Twenty-
two miners, ten white men and twelve
negroes, lost their lives in an explo-
sion at Cumnock coal mines, Chatham
county, n. c.. The explosion Is sup
posed to have been caused by broken
gauze in safety lamp. The accident
was in what is known as the east
men were in the mine at the time.
Five were brought out alive from the
east heading, while some Of the men
in the other parts Of the mine were
injured.
The names of the killed are as fol-
lows: White-John Connolly, mine
superintendent; Joe Glass, William
Tyson, James Mccarthy, John
Hankey, Wesley Clegg, John Willett,
John Gatewood, Robert GatewOod.

disaster was received, to assist in the
work of rescuing the dead and lending
assistance to the injured. Within an
hour after the explosion the work of
rescue began and by night all the bod
les except one that of Sim Mcintyre,
had been brought to the top. John
Connolly, the mine superintendent,
came to this state about three years
ago from Pittsburg, Pa. He leaves a
wife and three small children. Willie
Tyson was the son of Jordan Tyson
prominent citizen Of Moore county. A
great many bodies taken from the
mine had been burned and the scenes
around the mouth of the shaft were
heart-rending.
Fourth Disaster There.
This disaster is the fourth. and in
the disasters about eighty-five men
have lost their lives and many others
have been injured. The mines are sit
uated at Cumnock, in Chatham coun-
ty, about six miles from Sanford. The
mine has been long used in a desultory
fashion, but in 1883 Samuel A. Hensey
OF Philadelphia organized a company
and put in modern machinery. There
are two shafts. one a small affair for
ventilation. and the other the main
working shaft, is eigh by twelve feet.
and Is considerably more than 500 feet
in depth. The explosion in 1895 was
caused by tire-damp, although many of
those killed on this occasion lost their
lives from the resulting explosion of
almost 300 pounds OF dynamite That
was stored in the mine.

London, May 22.-It is officially an
nounced that Colonel Bethune has re-
ported that while marching in the d.
rection of New Castle, Natal, he was
ambushed by party of Beers six
miles west of Vryheid, in the Trans
vaal, and that very few Of his force
escaped. His casualties numbered
sixty-siX men.
Mahon's Relief of Mafeking.
Lord Roberts reports to the war Of
flee in a dispatch dated Kroonstad,
May u, as follows:
"Mahon reports that the flying col
umn entered Mafeking at a. IN. May
Is. He was stubbOrnly opposed by
1900 men on May Z, nine miles from
Mafeking, but the Beers were driven
from their strong position after five
hours fighting, thanks, he says, to the
magnificent qualities Of his troops. A
detachment Of Canadian artillery, by
a series of forced marches, reached
him the morning of the fighting and
rendered very valuable assistance.
MahOn's casualties were about thirty.
The Boer losses were heavy"
Natal Clear of Beers.
A dispatch from Pietermaritzburg,
dated Monday, May 81, says the Beers
are reported to have entirely left Ma
tai, leaving Laing's Mex free. If this
is true it leaves the way open for Gen
eral Butler to advance into the Trans
vaal SO soon as the repairs of the
railroads are sufficient to insure good
communications. Lord Roberts is
still at Kroonstad recognizing his
forces. General Rundles' forces are en-
camped at Trommel, recuperating. y
patrol, four miles from Trommel, was
attacked by the Beers. One man was
wounded and some horses were killed.
as.a Always Ready for Shipping.
The affair was unimportant except
in showing that the Beers are still in
the neighborhood and on the lookout
for any chance of sniping. Further
details Of the fighting at Mafeking say
that Commandant Saiei Eloff's follow
ers deserted him, whereupon Eloff fired
on them himself and then surrendered
with eighty followers. The dispatch
also says that one party of Beers was
driven out of the staat and allowed to
escape, as 1--WE had sufficient prison
ers." THE capture Of Eloff and his
followers cost Baden-POwell three men
killed and seven wounded,

CANNOT HELP BOERs.
Uncle Sam Will Not Take the Initiative I'm
the Matter.

Washington, May 22.-The apparent
object of the mission on which the
Boer delegates Travelled all the way
from south Africa to the United States
was unfolded to Secretary of State
Hay, who received the delegates and
listened to what they had to say. At
the end of an hour the three stafwart
Africanders learned that their long
trip had been in vain, so far as it
concerned the hope tAat the American
government would use its influence to
bring peace to their far-off country.
The delegates made an appeal to the
United States government through Mr..
Hay to tender its services as a medi-
ator. Mr.. Hays answer, which had
evidently been carefully prepared in
advance, was a comprehensive eX-
PLANTATION Of the circumstances sur
rounding the previous attempt of this
government to end hostilities and the
reasons which forced it now to re-
luctantly decline again to take the in
itiative in the matter.
The delegates did not present to the
secretary of state any credentials from
the Boer republics. Whether they
will do so remains to be seen, but the
opinion IS general among OinclalS ana
those friendly to the Boer cause that
they will lose much and gain nothing
by tying their tongues and their hands
through the assumption of diplomatic
functions. From what Is said by those
close to the delegation, it is probable
that Mr.. Fischer and his colleagues
will devote the rest of their stay in
America to holding mass meetings for
the purpose OF creating sympathy and
raising money for the cause Of their
people.
Messrs. Fischer, Vessels and VOL
marans, the three Boer ENJOYS, who
are now in this country visited the
White House Mt 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. according to previous arrange
ment, to pay their respects to the presi-
dent. No official status was given the
visitors and they presented no Gre
dentials.
