estimate Of the number killed i'm the

is $50. but the total death list may

ParMalee regarding the cause of the
explosion Is that some of the Films
recently imported secretly took giant
powder down into the mine
To Assist Them
in their work. They were extremely
anxious to make a good showing and
make as much money as possible, and
1t is thought this form of explosive
was used in order that great bodies of
coal could more easily be dislodged.
1t Is thought that the giant powder

one OF the miners sent over from Cas-
tie Gate to aid in the rescue said:
This explosion has been the most dis
astrous so far as loss of life is con-
cerned that has ever occurred in
America. There are $50 killed. At
Almey two years ago there were Us

"There will be deeper sympathy with
America in this awful catastrophe
than has been evoked by any event on
the other side of the Atlantic since the
loss of the Maine"

Estimates Of Dead Conceded to Have
Been to Large.
Salt Lake. Utah, May 5.-The latest
dispatches from Scofield say that the
extreme estimates of dead are now
conceded to have been too large, and
that it is numerically impossible to
place the loss of life at 300 as there
We're not that many men in the mines.
The probabilities are that $50 will be
about the total number of dead. Rela-
tives OF the victims continue to ar
rive from all the surrounding towns.
The body of Tom B"ogdon Of North
Lawrence. Ohio, was located yester-
day in mine No. 1. There are not
enough collins in the camp to bury the
dead. and to add horror to the stu
alton the bodies are rapidly decompos-
ing and it has been suggested that
cremation may have to be resorted to.
There are fifty bodies for which no
provision for burial has been made.
Joint committee of Odd Fellows
and Knights of Pytheans spent the day
among the dead, identifying members
OF their orders. They found about
twenty of each order among the dead.
The schoolchildren of this city have
gathered carload of flowers which

While the committee was in session A.

DID CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE.
Fire at the sauntry Logging Roa,
Worse Than First Reported.

Fire at the Sauntry Logging Road
Worse Than First Reported.
Duluth. Mimi, May 1.-The Are on
the Sauntry logging road, about twelve
miles from the. city on the Wisconsin
side reported Tuesday was more seri-
GUS than at first believed. Two
bridges, 800 and 200 feet long, were
burned out. instead of one, as reported.
The logging train, caubht between the
blazing bridges and the fire, consisted
Of twenty.nine cars. In order to ex-
tricate it is has been found that the
most practical way is to build tenn
porary track across the country and
connect with the Eastern Minnesota.
At the nearest point the roads IRE
about 1000 feet apart. A force OF
men are now at work grading and
laying steel. When the train crossed
the bridge Monday night and went to
the end of the branch there seemed no
prospect of fire in that vicinity. An
hour later the bridge was burning
fiercely and also the surrounding
woods. The fires around Duluth have
all died down and all prospect Of
danger is now removed. No reports
of serious damage have been received.

rebels. Twenty of the Americans
were killed. The remainder were res.
cued. The Americans We're chartered
in the church. which the enemy, mum.
bering several hundred men, SUP
rounded and ficrcely attacked. The
fight lasted two days and then the reh-
els managed to ignite the roof of the
church. and it burned away and final
ly fell upon those inside the editice.
The walls remained intact. however,
and were used as shelter by the
Americans for three days longer, the
enemy attacking the building on all
sides at once. The Americans cOntin-
ued firing from the windows and doors
Of the church and did great execution
among the Filipinos. 1t is estimated

days resistance the Americans, the
lieutenant and eight men arrived from

thereupon retired.
Relief That Aguinallo Was Killed.
Gen. Funston has discovered a rebel
warehouse near Cabanutuan, province
Of New Egija, containing all the arch
ives Of the Maloios government and
correspondence Of Aguinaldo UP to the
time Of his flight, and valuable history.
The belief Is growing that A.uinaldo
was killed by the Igitorits. There is
no proof that he has been seen alive
since Mai. Peyton, Of the Thirty-third
regiment abandoned pursuit. and q
rebel officer who has surrendered says
Mai. Tinio holds this belief. Maj.
Tinio was in regular correspondence
with Aguinaldo until Dec. 26, and since
that time has heard nothing from him.
