TWO HUNDRED DEAD.
TERRIBLE EXPLOSION OF POWDER
IN UTAH COAL MINE.
1877 BODIES RECOVERED.
Remains of Victims Brought to the Sur
Face by willing Hands - Distressing
Scenes at the Mouth of the shnft-Somo
Few Bodies Have Been identified-De-
iails of Catastrophe.

Salt Lake, Utah. Special. "A special
from schoneld, Utah, says:
The English language cannot describe the
appalling disaster which occurred here at
1925 A. NJ, by an explosion in Mine No.
of the Pleasant Valley Coal Company, and
by which certainly 200 men and upward have
lost their lives. so far 1877 bodies have been
recovered, and the work OF rescue is stlll
proceeding and will continue until all the
bodies are brought to the surface.
There are willing hands at work, and as
fast as bodies are reached they are brought
down TO the boarding houses and other com
pany buildings, where they are dressed and
prepared for the coroner's inquest. These
buildings are numerous, and in each are
from 10 to 80 bodies. When corpse Is
brought out 1t Is usually carried from the
mouth OF each tunnel at the respective en-
frances to the place of deposit. Here there
is a corps of mon from four to ten in num-
Der, with sponges. hot and cold water in
tubs and other receptaces. The clothing Is
first removed; tho SCOT, smoke and powder
burns washed from their faces, the bodies
prepared and laid out in long robes, where
they are identified by n tag with name and
address attached to await Identification by
relatives or friends.
The removal Of bodies began at once and
every diligence was used to get the charred
and mangled remains out of the mine.
Many hundreds of men havo freely volun-
teered their services, and as fast as one set
is tired or worn out others take their places.
While the stencil of smoke and powder Is
sickening, resembling much that of dis
secting room, there are brave-hearled and
brawny men who have been continually at
work since the moment of the explosion.
As soon as the accident was known, officials
Of the coal company at Salt Lake City and
also the railroad company were notified OF
the disaster, and though the number of dead
was reported lower than it really is 1t would
appear that everything by them that lies in
their power has been done.
The explosion is attributed to the blowing
up of a number of kegs of blasting powder.

Escnpcd.

Manila, (By Cable. )--The American gorrl-
son Of Catubg, Island of samar. consisting
OF 30 men belonging to the Forty-thrd Reei-
ment. has been attacked by rebels. Twenty
of the Americans were killed. The remainder
were rescued
The Americans wero quartered in the Catu-
big Church, which the enemy, numbering
several hundred men, surrounded and fierce
~ attacked. The Americans fought for two
days and then the rebels managed to ignite
the roof Of tho church and it burned away
and finally fell upon those inside the edlfce
The walls remained intact however, and
were used rs u shelter by the besieged Amer
leans for three days longer, the enemy at
tacking the building on al sides at once.
The Americans continued firing from the
windows and doors OF the church and did
great execution among tho Filipinos. 1t is
estimated that over 200 OF the latter were
killed, many dead bodies being removed
from the scene OF the fighting.
After five days resistance by the Ameri-
cans lieutenant and eight men arrived
from Laoan and engaged the besiegers, who
thereupon retired.
The fortunate arrival OF these reinforce
ments prevented the annihllation OF the
American force intrenched In the church,
who had repeatedly declined TO surrender
when ordered TO do so by the Filipinos.
The 10 survivors werc without food, had
little ammunition and were physically ex-
hausted when relieved.
This fight has encouraged the Filipinos,
who are now acting in an aggressive man
ner and threatening that section of tho
coast, particularly the town of Catarma,
whence the garrison will probably be with
drawn to Laoan

Reported Outrage by British Naval ON
cer--Invcstigation Instituted.
London, (By Cable).--It has been learned
that United States Ambassador Choate has
asked Lord Salisbury for explanations as to
the alleged abuse of international right in
the case of the American ship Sea Witch,
which, according to the statement of her
commander, Captain Howe, was boarded by
the British war-ship Wasp within the three
mile limit of Portuguese territory in East
Africa.
The American ship Sea Witch left Walle
roo December 3, and arrived a. Deagoa
Bay February u. She sailed March for
Port Natal (Durbau), and arrived there
March 0.
The American ambassadors communica-
tion TO the British premier hardly amounts
to protest, and serious complications are
not likely to ensue. The case, as trans
mitted by Secretary Hay to London, consists
of the captains allegation that while the
Sea Witch was off Delagoa Bay he signalled
to the Wasp, which was ratrolllng. and the
Wasp sent boat TO her. The captain OF
the Sea Witch complains that the visit re-
sembled a war-like boarding party, and that
his manifest was examined against his will,
NhNh PdiP""'J "ithHi hO"t"' h"loIF' II
the latter statement Is true. n serious oifense
has been committed by the Wasp, which will
call for an ample apology from Great Britain.
But it is pointed out that the fact that the
Sea Witch sgnaIled the Wasp before the
warship noticed her invests the case with
curious uncertainty. Apparently, both Mr..
Choate and Lord Salisbury are inclined to
believe that there is some mistake, perhaps
on both sides. The premier has referred
the matter to the admiralty, which has no
record Of the occurrence, but has cabled to
South Africa for the Wasps version of the
affair, and 1t is possible that some time may
elapse before the Brit sh reply is ready.
