As finally adopted, the United States
naval increase program for 1901 involves
the construction OF 81 vessels of Isl 900
that laid down in any preceding year.
The list which congress is to be asked to
authorize is three $4,000 ton battleships,
two $4,000 ton armored cruisers, six 1000
ton gunboats. six 500 ton gunboats. 10
200 ton gunboats. three $4,000 ton colliers,
one 1000 ton repair ship and one 700 ton
transport.
The board of construction has decided
to omit the torpedo boats, both surface
and marine, recommended by the policy
board, of which Admiral Dewey is chair
man, but the program in all other par
ticulars conforms closely to the initial
project under discussion two weeks ago.
The program makers have confined their
projects to ships for defense, for police
and for naval auxiliary by the new con-
ditions imposed on the navy by the in
creasing Importance OF American power
in the far east
The p gunboats are intended for police
uuls, pIlhclpdL. III the 1HlllPPlhe9, al
though adaptable Tor service in China.
The POO ton gunboats will be the smallest
war vessel, except torpedo boats, ever
built for the navy, but they will be of the
size recommended by all officers of eXPe-
rienee in the Philippines as essential to
preserve order among the new island pos
sessions.
The proposed maritime transport is to
be like the Solace, but half again as large,
and armed with light guns, she is needed
by the marine corps, which now has six
thousand dependent upon the Solace or on
army ships for transportation. The new
vessel is to have accommodations for two
battalions, and to have high speed, for the
purpose of getting force quickly to a
point of disturbance, her headquarters be-
ing at Manila.

TERRIFIC MINE EXPLOSION
BERRYsBURG, W. VA
eleven Dead Bodies Removed
Miners Say 1t Was Caused by Fire
damp-FOrce of Explosion Was
Great-Property Loss Is Small.

Phifppi, w. Va, Nov, A terrific ex-
nosion has occurred at the Southern Coal
and transportation company's mines at
Berrysburg, six miles from Philippi.
Eleven dead bodies have been taken from
the mines. The explosion was plainly
heard in Philippi. 1t occurred in the sec
ond left No. e room, south entrance The
mine owners refuse to discuss it, saving
it was caused by too heavy a charge of
powder being used. The miners say it
was caused by firedamp. 1t is not known
how many were killed and injured. Not
until roll-call can this be determined. AS
soon as the mine had cleared sufficiently
rescuers at once began the removal OF the
dead. The pit boss on duty and his broth
er. Will Merks, were taken out unconscious
and can not possibly recover.
The force of the explosion was so great
that two men were found go feet from
the mouth of the mine. An hour after
the explosion hundreds had visited the
mine The sight was a most horrible
one. Strewn along the main channel and
about the opening were the arms, legs
hands and other portions of the bodies
of the dead miners. The miners insist
that the explosion was caused by fire
damp.
Mules were killed at the mouth of the
mine and cars were blown 40 feet from
the track. One man was blown in two
at the loins and his body thrown against
a pile of lumber at the mouth of the
mine The night shift went ON duty at I
o'clock. Everything went smoothly until
about midnight, when the explosion oc-
Cured. The dead were mutiated beyond
recognition, and the scene was calculated
to make the strongest heart fail. The eX-
ploson was probably the result of an ac-
cidental discharge of dynamite, caused per-
haps by conclusion of a blast.
The property loss is light. Operations
resumed at the mines as usual on Monday.
As the work of removing the dead goes
on things look worse. -Four men have
been brought out during the last hour,
and the searchers report that dozens are
yet in the mine Most of those brought
out are mutilated beyond description. A
messenger Just returned from the mines
states that the bodies of II men have been
brought out. eight of whom were recog-
nized. Four men are in the hospital and
not expected to live until morning, Twen-
ty men are unaccounted for. The men are
mostly negroes and Slavs.
