GOOD WORK OF MARINES.

sonous spears and Pitfalls.
Manila, Nov 2O.-~Maj. D. w. t.
Waller of the Marine. corps has cabled
Rear Admiral Rodgers at Manila a full
and detailed account of the attack,
Nov Z. by the men of his command
upon the rebel stronghold at Sojoton,
near Basey. Island Of Sarpar. =
Three 4nsurgent camps were destroy
ed, forty bamboo cannon were captur-
ed and much rice and other stores
were destroyed. The rebel stronghold
was almost impregnable. The trails
leading to~it were lined with poisoned
spears sticking from the ground and
were filled with hidden pitfalls Maj.
Walters command attacked the enemy
unexpectedly. To do this they had to
scale a cliff 200 feet high; this they
climbed barefooted over bamboo lad
ders. At the top they found boulders
piled ready to precipitate upon an at
tacking party. Maj. Waller says he
was personally not present at the ac-
tion. He praises Capt. David D. Por-
ter and Capt. Hiram I. Bears for their
splendid work, and says too much
praise cannot be given the marines
themselves, whose behavior he char
acterizes as brilliant in every respect.
The major considers the scaling OF
cliffs 200 feet high as a new feature OF
warfare and says such men would be
able to do anything anywhere. Thirty
of the enemy were killed. The marines
sustained few trif1ing wounds.
Rear Admiral Rodgers has replied to
Mai Waller congratulating him on this
successful action by his command.

FEARFUL DISASTER

SUFFOCATED.

likely to prove the most disastrous ac-
cident that has ever occurred in a me-
tallic mine in Colorado, resulted to-
day from a fire, which burned the
buildings at the mouth of the bullion
tunnel, through which the Smuggler
Union mine is worked, and which filled
the mine with deadly gases and smoke.
1t is impossible to give even an ap-
proximate estimate of the loss of life,
but it is believed it will reach nearly,
IL not quite, one hundred. Twenty
two are known to have perished.
The fire started early this morning
from defective flue in the bunk house
at the mouth of the tunnel. 1t quick
ly communicated with the other build
ings. The dense smoke from the burn
ng converter house, which was saturat-
ed with oil, began pouring into the
tunnel, which with the shafts of the
mine acted as a chimney.
The day shift had just gone on duty
and before they could be warned of
their danger the levels and the slopes
were filled with gas.
AS soon as the men became aware of
their danger. efforts were made to
reach the surface through various ex-
its and about half of those in the mine
escaped. 1t will be impossible to as
certain the number still in the mine
for several hours on account of the
gas in some of the levels.
Seventeen of the % bodies found
were found on the seventh level. Be-
the ninth level, and this has not YET
been explored. On account of the gas
and smoke these levels could not be
entered, because of the danger of suf.
location, for twelve hours after tht
flames started.

Queen Draga Reported Assassinated,
but the RumOr Denied.

Vienna, Nov. 20-An unconfirmed re-

County Com mmissioners Meet
Mahoning's Board and Dis
cuss Line Culvert.

The county commissioners made a
trip to Alliance Tuesday and had a
joint session with the Mahoning coun-
ty board. The matter Of building a
stone culvert at a point where the
county line crosses the road southeast
Of Alliance was discussed, and Com
missioner Johnston stated to a News
Democrat reporter that they would
in all probability build an arch culvert
there.
Some matters in Alliance to which
their attention was called were dis
cussed, but no definite conclusion was
reached. OF the visit to that city, the
Review says: THE Stark and Ma
honing county commissioners held a
Joint meeting at the Keplinger house
today. The meeting was held to con-
slider the rebuilding of a culvert on
the county line, southeast of the city.
The bridge committee of council also
took turn with the Stark county COM
missioners about the poor condition ol
the various bridges about town In
which the commissioners are inter-
ested. The bridge on Park street has
one half its planking torn off, the
one crossing Freedom and Walnut
is sadly out of repair and the viaduct
Is dangerous. 1t is to be hoped that the
commissioners will be prompt to act
in each of these cases."
