MARINES ARE ON GUARD
Americans From BattIeship Iowa
Land at Colon.
ISTHMAlN TRANSIT RE0PENED
Fierce Fighting on the Railroad Line Between
Panama and Colon Bombardment Of
Latter Town Postponed.

COLON, Nov. 26.--An armed guard
Of marines from the United States
battleship Iowa has re-estSblished the
transit across the isthmus. and de-
tails from the Iowa's marines are now
protecting each passenger train.
There has been fierce fighting at En-
pire Station, on the railroad line be-
tween Panama and Colon. between the
insurgents and the troops OF the Co
lombian government, with very heavy
losses on both sides.
Transit traffic had been suspended
for several hours, when the United
States cruiser Iowa landed 200 men.
At conference Sunday night the
commander of the General pinzon
agreed to postpone landing his troops
until Friday. The vessel left in the
morning, it is supposed for Porto
Bello.
Sunday morning at 10 o'clock the
schooner Clapet and a railroad barge
returned to Panama, bringing $50 men
from Chorrera, being the remainder of
General Adams expedition.
Great crowds gathered at the wharf
to witness the landing OF the soldiers.
They were received with bands of mu-
sic, but the music sounded mournful
and more like funeral march than
the joyful strains of welcome to a vic
torious army. General Alban looked
his usual and calm self and acted more
like a man ON whose hands time hangs
heavily for want OF something to do
than one coping with grave RESPONSE
bilities under trying circumstances.
At half past 3 in the afternoon at the
head of 700 men General Alban left
Panama by train for Empire Station,
where the Liberals were reported to be
in fairly strong numbers. His purpose
was to surprise and rout them. The
train bearing these troops was held up
just before it arrived at the Culebra sta
ton owing to the Liberals opening fire
on Adams advance guard. Alban dis
embarked his men from the train,
which returned to Panama. The fight
ing at Culebra lasted from 4:40 until
p. m.
The Revs. Loveridge and Jacobs,
baptist and wesleyan ministers re-
spectiyely, narrowly escaped being
shot Their house in Culebra was rid
died with bullets.
The government troops continued to
advance, and the fighting was stub
born all along the railroad line and
continued until Empire Station. mile
and a half distant. was reached. The
Liberals continued slowly to retreat,
Adams men following them, until the
latter eventually reached Matachin sta
ton. Here he met and conferred with
Captain Perry of the Iowa, who was
returning from Colon on an armored
train.
Between the stations Of Culebra and
Empire over $50 killed and wounded
men could be seen along the track. The
sight was grewsome. There is no prop
er Red Cross organization, and the
wounded lack care. The Liberals at
Colon declare the majority of the men
killed on the line to be Conservative
troops and that the rebels are still in
force along the railroad.

WASHINGTON ADvIcEs.
Captain Perry of the Iowa Crosses
the Ixfhmus


WASHINGTON. Nov. 26. - Later
adyices showing the situation on the
isthmus TO be still unsettled contain
the information that free transit by
way of the railroad has been re-estab-
lished. These advices came In dis
patch received by Secretary Long from
Captain Perry of the Iowa. who had
made trip across the isthmus from
Panama to Colon, from which place he
sent telegram.
The purpose of the guard presuma-
bly, is to prevent interruption to the
free passage of trains by insurgents
congregated along the line of the road.
Mr.. Herran, the charge d'affaires Of
the Colombian legation, is very well
satisfied with the tenor of the advices
which have come to hand from Acting
Governor Arizona of Panama, who re-
ported that, the rebel army having
been defeated at Culebra and Empera-
dor, General Alban had now marched
on Colon.

ALL ARE FOUND DEAD
Eight Bodies Recovered From
Burning Mine.
Party Of Officials Had Entered the
Mine ON Inspection Tour. BELIEVE
ing the Danger Past-F1ames
Are stiII Unquenched.

BLUEFIELD, W. Va, Nov. 25.-
The dead bodies of the lost party OF
eight well known mining men who en-
tered the West mine Of the PocahoR%as
Galleries company on Friday morning
last at IL o'clock were recovered at
1915 o'clock yesterday. AT o'clock
in the morning a rescuing party num-
bering forty persons entered at the
main entrance, bratticing the mine as
they went in order to improve the cir
culation of the air. They had reached
a distance OF 5000 feet from the en-
trance when they encountered such
quantities of white damp that it was
impossible to proceed farther.
Retracing their steps. they decided
to make another attempt from the Tug
river entrance, some six miles across
the Flat Top mountain. They went In
this entrance about 1890 o'clock. and
after going a distance of some 600
feet they found the dead bodies of A.
s. Hurst. chief inspector; Bob Oldham,
subinspcctor, and Frazier @. Bell min
ing engineer, all huddled together.
Il Io4h iAtil IOSltlOhS thtf ihbct nav
met death suddenly and without pain.
All of them were lying face down,
with no signs of a struggle. Hurst
had made pillow of his coat, on
which his head rested.
The bodies of the other five mem
bers of the party, Superintendent of
Mines Walter O'Malley, Joseph Card
well. superintendent of the Shamokin
Coal and Coke company; Il. Il. st.
Clair, second assistant inspector; State
Mine Inspector Price and Maurice st.
Clair, subinspector, were fouad sew
eral hundred feet back In the mine,
three of the bodies lying some little
distance apart. Bob St. Clair and Jo-
seph Cardwell were lying with arms
clasped around each other cold IN
death The bodies Of O'Malley, Maui
rice ST. Clair and Price were discolor-
ed and bruised about the face, showing
signs of struggle, 1t being very plain
to see that they made desperate at
tempt at retracing their steps to better
air, but already had advanced too far
into the deadly white damp to escape
alive.
The fire is still burning in Baby mine.
and the mine officials seem at loss to
understand how IL will be finally extin-
guished. The only way, it Is believed,
is by flooding. This will be an enor-
nous undertaking, as the mine is a
drift mine. Mine experts claim there Is
great danger of explosions by flooding
the mine. as when water comes in con-
tact with the fire the generation of gas
will be so great as to possibly blew
away the whole side of the mountain.
