GLOUSTER, O., June 8.-Two hum
dred miners were imprisoned early
this morning by an explosion of gas
in mine No. 2 and as many more were
about to enter the mine for work. 1t
was thought at first that the loss of
life would be very large, but the work
of the rescuers was carried on so en-
ergetically and successfully that all
were rescued and saved tonight ex-
cept three.
Evan Joseph, John McClelland and
Aaron Swanson were killed and their
bodies probably cannot be recovered
tonight, as the mine is still on fire.
These men were engaged to watch the
large mine at night and see that it
was in condition for the miners to
enter in the morning. They were cut
off from all means of escape at the
time of the explosion and their horses
persisted with them. William Will
liams, also employed in the mine, had
his leg broken, and others suffered
slight injuries.
The explosion set the mine on fire
and the rescuing party worked with
difficulty. State Mine Inspector, Ell
mer G. Biddison was telegraphed for
and he with Deputy Inspector Williams
are on the ground trying to smother
and drown the flames. but so far they
have been unsuccessful. This evening
a second explosion occurred and short
ly afterward a third, in which the sys-
TENS of fans used to force fresh air in
the mine was completely destroyed.
Joseph leaves a large family The
other two were single. Joseph and
Mcclellan were both Americans. Swan
son was Swede.
There were four hundred men en-
ployed in the mine. Had the explosion
occurred a few minutes later after all
the men had entered and taken their
positions, the destruction of human
life would have been fearful to contem-
plate Mine No. 2 is owned by w. P.
Rend & Co., of Chicago. The shaft is
125 feet deep and 1t Is sealed up to-
night in the attempt to smother the
fire.

WASHINGTON, June 8.-Perhaps the
most thrilling and picturesque incident
OF the entire Philippine war occurred at
Catubig, on the island of Samar, where
or April Is last party of 81 enlisted
men of Company H, 43d Infantry Vol
| unteers, held at bay a force of some
500 insurgents during four days of
fierce fighting. reinforcements arriving
| just in the nick of time.
The war department has received re-
ports from Capt. H. NJ. Day, of the For
ty-third Volunteer Infantry, and First
Lieutenant J. T. Sweeny, of that regi-
ment, who commanded the rescue party
giving, all the details of the attack, the
siege and the relief
According to these reports the at
tack on the garrison at Catubig began
without warning on Sunday morning,
April Is. From the hills on all sides,
from every point of vantage in the
town, and from a deserted church di-
rectly adjoining came rife and can
non fire of terrible intensity. On Tues
day morning, handfuls of burning
hemp were thrown into the barracks
from the insurgents in the church, and
soon the soldiers rufuge was on fire.
All efforts to subdue the fire failed, and
| finally the little band made a dash for
| the river bank. Some of them were
| killed before the bank was reached,
| others fell dead in boat in which they
| were attempting to make the opposite
| shore, and when a trench finally was
dug with bayonets, there were only six
| teen of the 81 left to man it. Here for
two more days Corporal Carson, hand
| ling his men with the judgment of a
| veteran, held out under a terrible fire
until Lieut. Sweeny's command, which
| garrison at Catubig and was on it's way
| up the river on the steamer Loa-Ang,
arrived Not until within quarter of a
mile of Catubig, says Lieut.. Sweeny in
his report, did they hear the noise OF
| the engagement. Then he realized that
| he and his men were sorely needed,
| and he ordered the captain of the
| steamer to run his boat at top speed.
| The Loa-Ang steamed up to Catubig
| under a rain of Mauser bullets from
| both shores. The small boats were low
cred, landing effected and the rescue
fought their way through to their be-
| sieged comrades in the trenches, bur-
| led the dead within reach, brought
| back to the boat the besieged party,
numbering now only 10 men, then
! steamed down the river.
| Captip Day bestows the highest COM
| mendation upon Corporal Carson as
| displaying extraordinary good judg-
ment in the handling of his men,
| thereby saving the lives of the surviv-
ors and protecting the wounded until
relief came
70 each of the little command and
their rescuers be given the highest
praise. "The zeal and ability" he says,
were a fitting example of the worth
and courage of the American soldier. +"
