His name is John Anderson and he
was fcightfully burned in running the
gauntlet of the flames. He was sud.
denly confronted by wall of fire and
smoke. and, wrapping his head in an
overccat, he ran in the direction of
the main entrance. The first intima.
tion the miners in the other entries
had of fire was when Anderson came
rushing into the upper level, his
clothing in flames. He fell uncon.
scious and was carried to the mouth
of the mine. The alarm was sounded
and hundreds of miners at work in
the mines and on the outside rushed
to the rescue of their imperilled com.
rades. The fires had by this time
made such progress that it was
impossible to Enter the Rooms
for flames. The entire night was
spent In confining the fire to the two
entries and in the morning 1t was
necessary to seal them up to prevent
the flames from spreading to other
parts Of the mine. This step was only
decided upon after all hope of saving
the lives Of the men had been aban-
doned. Nothing could live five min.
utes in the fire, which was increasing
in flerceness every minute. The
plugging Of the two entries will
smother the fire, but it may be several
days before the barricades can be re-
moved and the chambers explored.
The exact total of men entombed is
not yet known, as number are MISS
ing, some on sick leave and others in
the hospital suffering from burns re-
ceived while fighting the flames.
The scenes at the mouth of the mine
were heartrending. Relatives and
friends of the entombed men rushed
to the mine. frantically crying to the
mine officials and miners to save their
dear ones.
Diamondville has been the scene of
a number Of disastrous fires since the
coal mines were opened there 10 years
ago, but the conflagrations were never
attended with serious loss of life.

Washington, Feb. 27.-An important
amendment to the Philippine amend
ment to the army appropriation bill
was agreed to in the senate. It was

charge of the measure and is now
part of the committee amendment.

speech and occupied the floor during
the greater part of the day. He ap-
pealed to the committee to withdraw
both propositions, maintaining that

in acting upon them without ample
information.

severely arraigned Rear Admiral
Sampson for some statements he is
alleged to have made upon an applica.
tion of Chief Gunner Charles Morgan
