fred and Burgess was found lying

from a mortal wound.

hfFT BURNED IN NENB
Workers In Wyoming Coal Level Lose
Their Lives.
ONLY ONE MINER ESCAPES.
RESCUED In an Exhausted Condition
After Battle For Life with
smoke, Fire and Fumes
of Gas.

Kemmerer, wy, Feb. 26.--Fifty for
aigners, whose names are as yet unob-
.ainable, undoubtedly have persisted ID
a fire which was discovered In the sixth
level Of the Diamondville coal mine
No. /. Only one man, John Anderson,
was able to reach the main shaft ana
make his escape, so quickly did tne
fire spread through the level.
No one knows how the fire started,
The shift of so men, all foreigners, had
been at work several hours and for q
time were unaware Of their danger.
They were scattered along the work
lngs, some distance back from the
main lead.
John Anderson was the nearest man
to the opening of the level into the
shaft. He gave the alarm, which was
passed down the tunnel and then, plac-
ing heavy -overcoat over his head,
began a desperate battle with the
smoke, fire and deadly fumes of gas to
reach the main lead, where escape
might be possible.
Work of Rescue Bcgun.
BY this time the outside men OF the
colliery had learned of the fire, and
several went down In the hope Of res
cuing the imprisoned miners. At the
opening Of the level where the flames
were at work they found Anderson
completely exhausted.
He was carried to the open air and
soon revived, although he was severely
burned about the body. He explained
the situation in which his companions
were placed, and every effort was made
to reach the imprisoned men.
Every plan known to mining experts
and the officials of the company was
quickly put into operation for the
checking of the fire, but without ap-
parent effect. The level was plugged
at its opening in order to check the
draft throughout the workings and
thus kill the fire. Bands of men went
down the shaft repeatedly and tried to
face the flames. which were eating
their way through the level, but were
invariably compelled to retreat.
There is no let up In the efforts to
get into the level, however, and this
despite the almost absolute certainty
that none of the imprisoned men can
now be alive.
Work at the other mines was sus-
pended, and all the miners Joined the
,rcscuing parties.

Richard Patzowsky having petitioned
the Street and Sewer Department for
better drainage facilities for his proposed
new morocco factory at Twelfth and
Wilson streets, the board, at its meet
ing yesterday instructed Engineer Hat
ton to have sewer built as soon as the
weather will permit, in Pine street from

New York, Feb. 2B. The Italian
steamer Citta di Messina has Just ar.
rived from Palermo, bringing "a of the
crew Of the Italian steamer Jupiter,
which was left drifting about the ocean
without coal and scanty supply OF
provisions for the three men who staid
by the steamer the captain, second

Captain Massardo of the Citta di
Messina says that he fell in with the
Jupiter on Feb. 10 In latitude 1910,
longitude 4S.09. The Jupiter was on
the way from Girgenti for New York
with cargo Of birthstone. She had
encountered heavy weather and rough
seas from the time Of passing Gibraltar
and had been n long time at sea with
out making much headway. Her coal
and provisions were exhausted, and
the captain of the Citta di Messina was
asked to tow her into port.
An attempt was made to tow the
Jupiter, but the hawser parted and
the steamer was allowed to drift along,
ms the weather continued so tempestu-
ous that 1t was impossible to pass an
other line aboard. On the 18th, after
three days and nights Of drifting about,
"A of the crew were taken on board
the -Citta di Messina. The captain, sec
ond engineer and steward decided to
stay by the vessel.
They were supplied with provisions
fol. a few days. The Citta di Messlna
then proceeded ON her way to Befmu-
da, where she stopped for coal. When
the steamers parted, the Jupiter'S po-
sition was In latitude 1888, longitude

An epidemic of rinderpest exists in
the Visayan islands. The disease first
appeared on Burias island and spread
thence to Ticio and Masbate, and it Is
now appearing OH the island of Panay.
Twenty-Five thousand caribou have al
ready died on Masbate island. The ma
tives are dependent upon the caribou
for agricultural operations, and the
disease has minimized rice planting
and restricted the sugar crop, and
much suffering Is likely to ensue. Rig
Id quarantine measures have been
adopted.
A new party, called Conservative, is

The United States Philippine com-

and has organized provincial govern.

Gently was controlled by the insur
gents. The insurgent Colonel Morels
is still operating with his band Of 300
men in portion Of the province. New

isfaction with American sovereignty
appear to be as prevalent here as in
the provinces In which governments
have previously been organized.
THE party arrived here in army
wagons and native carts and We're
driven to the military headquarters
As many natives as could be crowded
into the hall were present. The presi-
dente of the town welcomed the COM

Of the province, which had been wa

E'ilipinos, earnestly hoped for the OBJ
liberation Of the marks of war and for
the establishment of peaceful gov
ernment guaranteeing personal liberty
