M'KINLEy STILL
 WANTS FREE TRADE Believes Tariff Should Not Be Imposed on Porto Ricans.
 Blamed to Congress.

Washington, March 6.-The Post tomor- TOW will say:
 President Mckinley, in conversation with callers at the White House yesterday, reiterated his belief that the people of Por- to Rico were entitled to free trade with the United States. He made it clear that his views had undergone no change since he wrote his message to congress. At the same time he was unable to subscribe to the theory that the constitution followed the flag; that the Porto Ricans must have free trade as necessary legal right. When he found that the house deemed it the part of wisdom to impose a small tariff he had been constrained to yield to the judgment of the house. He believed 1t advisable, at least at the moment, to secure a decision of the supreme court on the constitutional question involved. Therefore he had given his consent to the nominal tariff, and had agreed to sign such a bill He left no doubt on the minds of his callers, whom he questioned closely regarding the drift of public sentiment that congress-not the executive-was responsible for the change of policy.

THE UPRISING
 RUMORS DENIED CubanS Are Surprised at the
 Wonderful Stories. PEOPLE VERY PEACEABLE The Havana Papers Regard the Reports as Political Trick for Purpose
 of Sending More Troops,
 a to the Island.
PEOPLE VERY PEACEABLE

Havana, March 6-The frequent rumors cabled from the United States regarding possible uprisings in Cuba in the early future are causing the press of the island to ask who is responsible for these wonder full stories. The newspapers, without ex- ception, declare that the people of Cuba never left less like rising than they do at present. Even the agitators against a con- tinuance of American occupation have been counseling moderation of late, and the tenor of their recent speeches has been greatly modified. Indeed, the wish Is every where expressed that the forthcoming elec- tions may pass off without friction of any kind. as it is felt that just now the eyes of the world are turned toward Cuba in her efforts to attain self-government, and that any disturbances or even objections on the part of the minority after the elec- tions would be injurious to the future of Cuba.
 La Lucha says:
 "Even If the people desired an uprising they have not enough arms and ammunition to begin ont"
 The Cubano says:
 '.PresumaIoly these reports are the tricks of a certain American politician in order ito get more United States troops into Cuba. TrAis dndiNidual is trying to make 1t appear that the situation is unsafe, whereas the fact ds that just now the Gu bans are the most peaceabiy disposed peo- pie in the world.'
 Reports Regarded With Wonder
 The Patria says: ''The recent reports from Washington to fhe effect that an uprising is ammInent in Cuba we can only regard with wonder and 1Gdicufe. Cubans are not like the athletic people of Ken lucky, who shoot att the smallest provoca- tion."
 The meeting recently summoned by Civl Governor Nunez to consider ways and means of making the receipts of the rnu- nicipallties cover their expenses took place today, ail the mayors of tine province of Havana being present. Senor Nunez told the meeting that as the mayors allYired to direct sef-governing municipalities, they should make these munaoip ptaIlities Self-5up porting. He pointed out that If the state had to pay deficits it would be imposs- ble for the municipalities to enjoy local inde- pendence.
 The presidents of the committees of the national party have issued a programme for the coming election. The document, which is long one, says in part: "The national party considers the coming eec- tions of transcendent importance" The programme goes on to say that munich palities should be free from all state com trol, and be absolute in matters of purely local nature, such as police primary, edu- cation, sewerage, paving streets and kim dred public works. The municipalities should have power to raise loans subject to the approval of commission of twenty four citizens, elected by the people.

New York, March 6.-"The Boers have plenty of money for Red Cross purposes and all the ambuances, etc., that they need" said Geoge Vansiclen today. q have the information in personal letters from Dr. Leyds, the Boer European agent at Brussels: pr. Muller, at The Hague, and Mr. Hoffmeyer, president of the Afrikander bund at Capetown. They tell me that what they need now is money for the Boer widows and orphans.
 ''I sent 5000 to the Boers on Friday last and checks are still coming in. We have had upwards of a thousand men apply for fighting duty in South Africa, mostly Ger man, Irish and French, and quite a number of Americans, among them discharged sol- diers and sailors of the United States army and navy, but of course we have no money ito send men over there."

 scene crows Worse
 The scenes around the homes where the dead bodies are lying are drawing part of the immense crowd away from the work men at the entrance to the mine. Those working on the rescue relays say that the scene becomes more terrible as they get further into the mine. The men have be- come almost faint from heat when they strike place filled with dead bodies, and dn case the bodies are recognizable they are confronted with the remains of amoth- CT friend. Most of the bodies that cannot be identified or recognized have been placed in the large blacksmith shop of the Red Ash Coal company, and that place pre- sents the appearance of a horrible morgue. Although the bodies are mangled beyond recognition they are surrounded by those who are in distress and hunting for their dead friends. The general belief is that the explosion occurred by contact with dust when the miners entered this morning with their lights, and that 1t was not due to fire damp.
 Nearly all the men employed in the mine were white, and most of them were mar ried and had families in the little cottages near the tipple of the great mine. A spe- cial train arrived tonight from Montgom- cry filled with reporters, physicians and nurses. One car contained thirty caskets. After the arrival of the train an order was sent back to Montgomery for fifty more caskets. Another train arrived from Charleston with physicians, caskets and relief supplies. Still another train came in from Hinton, but there is no need for phy- scians and nurses, as the victims are evil denty dead. The work of rescue is being continued during the night, and will be kept up until the mine Is clear.
 Only Fifty MeH Were Entombed
 Later.-Reports since midnight are to the effect that there were only 50 miners en- tombed instead of 125; that only ten bodies have been taken out so far instead od thirty-seven as previously reported. It Is believed that all of the forty that are in the mine will never be found alive. The explosion occurred as the men were going into the mine in groups and couples, and they were strung along in this manner fol over a mile, so shat the work of rescue wiM require a long time.
