Commeated On i M.,hinaton.

Washington. Feb. II.-So far as
can be ascertained, the admIinistra-
tion has not had any intimation OF the
counter proposals the London dispatch
says will be made in the matter Of the
Nicaragua canal project. There is a
feeling Of regret that the British gov.
ernment has felt constrained to adopt
such course, % the hope was enter
tanned that the amendments to the
Hay .Pauncefote treaty might have
been accepted in the spirit in which
they were made.
Senator Morgan when informed to-
night OF the new stand taken by Great
Britain, said he believed that If Great
Britain has decided to take the action
stated, it would create resentment in
tho senate and among the people and
distrust OF the moves OF that govern
ment. He hoped it might result in
some action on the pending bill at this
session. Senator Morgan, however.
was not willing to say what action. ii
any, ne proposed to take to bring about
such result.
One suggestion made tonight as 4
possible counter proposal by Great
Britain was that in return for conces.
sions made BY her she might desire an
open port on the Alaskan coast as an
entrance into her gold fields in the
Klondike.

BANKER CREEL'S VISIT.
To Arrange Some Way Of Putting Mexico on
Gold Basis.

New York, Feb. l1.-At dinner
given in his honor by Charles R. Flint,
Senior Enrique G. Creel, banker of
the City oil Mexico. was the principal
speaker. The dinner was attended BY
a number OF prominent financiers. It
is the general belief that Senior Creel
has come TO arrange some way of put
ting Mexico on gold basis. instead OF
her present silver standard. Senior
Creel said:
''Senor Limantour will be the acting
president OF Mexico during the Euro
pean trip OF President Diaz, which will
take place in the near future. France
will be the first country visited, but
the probabilities are that he will visit
London and all the great Continental
cities. On the return trip New York
will according to the present pro-
gramme, be the port OF debarkation.
$50 far as the United States and
Mexico are concerned, the financial
and industrial interests of tile two
countries are Of the closest and most
important character. Hitherto Ameri-
can capital has found ample field for
investment at home. Its increase has
been so enormous in recent years that
it now seeks investment abroad. Mex.
leo is the most profitable field to which
it can turn. am not alone in this
opinion. Many of the most eminent
American financiers think 50. "

MOUNTAIN TOP BLOWN orr
Terrible Explosion In /, mexican Mine Killed
Eishty.Ssvsn Persons.

chihuahua, Mex, Feb. 9.-Word
has Just reached here OF one OF the most
terrible mining disasters that ever oc-
CURED In Mexico. An explosion in
the San Andres mine. situated in re-
mote locality OF tho Sierra Madres, in
the western part Of the state OF Du-
range, caused the death of 81 men,
women and children. and injured
many Others. The catastrophe was
due 10 the explosion OF several hundred
cases Of dynamite. which was stored in
an underground chamber Of the mine.
Electric wires connecting with the
hoisting machinery passed through the
room In which this dynamite was
stored. and it Ia supposed that these
wires became crossed, thereby causing
q fire which set of the dynamite.
All OF the killed and injured were
located on the surface, most Of them
occupyine residences right over the
underground workings OF the mine.
The explosion tore away the whole top
of the mountain on which the village
was located, and men, women and
children were blown into small pieces.
Among those who were killed was Her
man Luetzman. the superintendent OF
the mine and all the members OF his
family.
At the time of the explosion there
were several hundred miners at work
in the lower workings OF the mine,
and. strange to say, none OF them were
seriously injured, although they were
all severely shocked by the terrific
force of the explosion. They rushed
to the surface through one OF the shafts
that was not filled with debris and the
sight that met their eyes in the almost
complete destruction of the little vii
lage is indescribable. The work Of
gathering up the fragments of the un-
fortunate victims OF the explosion scat.
tered over the mountain was hegun,
and they were placed together and
buried in one grave, But few Of the
mangled remains we're recognizable.
Summons were sent to neighborin9
camps for surgeons to attend to the in
jured. and il was some time before
they arrived.
The San Andres mine is the most
celebrated silver mine in Mexico. 1t
is valued at $40, 900. 1t has pro-
duced many millions of dollars worth
of ore.

BOen Held Up Natal Train.

London, Feb. ll.-Public attention
has again been turned toward South
Africa by the Dispatch Of reinforce.
ments and the publication OF Lord
Roberts dispatches. Rumor has been
in circulation that Mr.. Chamberlain
had reconsidered his South African
policy, and was contemplating a ,ound
table conference with John Morley and
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, and
the recall OF Sir Alfred Miner.

plague at Cape Town seems likely 10

Today Sir Alfred Milner makes an
other earnest appeal to EMPLOYERS to

roll in the colonial mounted defense

The Beers held up a Natal mail train
near Vlakfontein. The few soldiers
on board exhausted their cartridges,
and the Beers then robbed the passen.

Sturtevant and the baggageman went

minds the natives that exemplary pun-
ishments attach to iniringements OF the
rules Of war and that their strict OBJ.
servsnce will be required not only by

insurgents who threaten, kidnap on as
sassinate natives friendly to the
Americans are guilty Of violation OF

answer for murder or such other crime
as may result from their unlawfal &C.
tions. Persons who do things inimical

these committees are In danger OF be-
ing punished as war traitors. The
proclamation continues:
THE practice OF sending supplies to
insurgent troops from places occupied
by the United States must cease.
These remarks all apply With special
reference 70 the city OF Manila. which
is we'll known as rendezvous from
which an extensive correspondence Is
distributed to ali parts OF the archi-

port, signed by Orton alone, favors
Vale, the present county seat. The
Vale people, however. are by no means
